Shema Villa

My wife (love to say it now..) and I had a wonderful weekend. The food was amazing, the hospitality outstanding, and the experience - we will never forget. Thank you for everything! We will definitely tell everyone about this place and will come back for many more times.

Guess the title says enough already. We went to Cyprus for our civil marriage. We met the lovely owner of Shema Villa at the city hall, and from there on it only got better and better. He toke pictures of the ceremony (the day after even made a photo shoot of us together), then we went to have breakfast.. showed us our beautiful room and let us rest a little, made us a wonderful dinner and the morning after made a breakfast like we were the king and queen. In conclusion, we had the most wonderful weekend!

We have for the last 15 years spent our holidays visiting many cities of the world, we decided to have a change this year and have a relaxing holiday away from it all, we were not disappointed. From our arrival, throughout our stay and right through to leaving we were spoilt by our host Grahame who was not only a walking travel guide but the most wonderful chef who made breakfasts a delight which kept us fed for hours, we asked him to cook us an evening meal for our wedding anniversary and we were overwhelmed by the food he prepared for us it was sheer delight. Shemesh Villa was a peaceful haven away from it all, the house was clean and a home from home, the balcony outside the bedroom a spacious living space to relax and watch village life pass by. Having the choice of two tavernas in the village was lovely for an evening stroll but if you wanted to visit the coast for some lively night life then Larnaca harbour was only a 15 minute journey. Shemesh Villa and Grahame have changed the way we want to holiday from now on-it was simply amazing.

My husband and me stayed there for 5 nights. The house is absolutely beautiful, the room very nice and the balcony very agreable. The different breakfast of every day was very, very tasty. The owners are very friendly and help you to travel around the island. And also in the village there are 2 good taverns. We have travelled very much around the world an we like B&B so much but I can say this B&B is the best where I have stay in all my life. I recommend to everybody.

We booked on the strength of reviews & the Villa website. As well travelled tourists and 'expats' living & working in some unusual places, I have to say this was a genuine 'treat', everything said is true; exceptional service, wonderful meals, hosts who make everything easy and a great break from the 'real world'. Cyprus can seem over-developed and too touristic, but I experienced the opposite here and really appreciated our stay. Gary & Nancy Wildfeir-Field

We spent a delightful week at the Villa Shemesh with my mother. She had never visited Cyprus, and the village of Agia Anna is conveniently located close to the Airport and not too far from some beautiful beaches - around Cabo Greco and Aphrodite's Rock - and many cultural sites. It is a very charming setting with beautiful traditional architecture and landscaping, and the host Graham is both very welcoming, discreet and helpful, ensuring a very pleasant and restful stay. The food is healthy, delicious and artistically presented in a very gourmet style, and the whole setting of the place is altogether tasteful. And it is so good to have a really delicious espresso in the morning!!!!!! The village taverna is very authentic and serves traditional village foods, as well as staging musical entertainement, where one can observe the local Cypriots, young and old, performing their traditional dances. My mother loved it and so did I. Thank you Graham for a wonderful stay.

I work in hospitality, so I can't help but go into evaluation mode when staying at a guest house. After spending four nights at Shemesh Villa, I feel like I've just attended a seminar on the art of service. The management couple create a warm, friendly environment without being over-attentive. I found it very easy to relax. The food is spectacular and carefully prepared. I found myself really looking forward to meal times. The house itself is beautifully decorated and well maintained. Everything felt clean and fresh. I highly recommend Shemesh Villa. You won't be disappointed. Matt

This is a gorgious and very quaint house, which gave us a real feel for the culture and beauty of the island. The quiet location and roomy accomodation made our stay so relaxing and peaceful. The food was so amazing that we felt like we were at a gormet restaurant at every meal! The host and hostess were incredibly servant hearted, and really willing to go out of their way to help us with anything we needed. Even extensive directions and suggestions for our touring plans were provided. Absolutely a bargain and a wonderful experience!

B&B's can be hit and miss, so you never know what you'll get till you get there. We've been to B&B's and little lodges all over the island and we can say for certain that we haven't experienced such a great place anywhere else. What can we say .... you will not be disappointed. We were overwhelmed by luxury and food. Simply the best!!!!!!

I was thoroughly spoilt. Treated like a queen! It is a lovely setting and the food was fantastic. I would recommend it to any friend or family, especially if they needed a treat or a place to chill out.

Shemesh Villa is a truly lovely villa experience. The owners are warm and personable, the rooms immaculate and inviting, the food excellent in taste and presentation, the views relaxing. I loved hearing the live Greek music wafting over the night air as I sat on my upper patio. Thank you for a great first Cyprus adventure! I highly recommend Shemesh Villa.

It is really outstanding place! With amazing people who hosted us, with beatiful rooms, outstanding service. The meals are the most delecious we ever had. It is peacefull, quite, beatifull, foll of rest place. We HIHGLY recomend it! we defintely going to come back! ;-)

I have stayed in hotels and B&B's all over the world but this one is now top of my list. True hospitality, great food, wonderful company, very pleasant surroundings, luxurious bed. Simply the BEST!
