Exclusive mountain retreat in original spa village. Experience traditional Cypriot village life at this luxury spa retreat, set in an ancient mountain range
Description
The mountain spa retreat of Casale Panayiotis is a luxury hideaway in the Troodos mountains of Cyprus. The hotel is set in the midst of Kalopanayiotis village, on the mountainside of the Marathasa valley amidst spectacular scenery.
Each carefully restored studio or suite has been meticulously furnished, with most rooms enjoying glorious mountain views or a private courtyard garden. There are three restaurants serving fresh, nutritious food, sourced from the local area as far as possible, including the hotel’s own orchards, and all have spectacular views. A full buffet breakfast is served each morning.
There are miles of unspoilt nature to explore on walking trails or mountain bikes. Visits to local cottage industries or walks around the hotel’s working orchards are easily arranged, as well as wine-tasting or halloumi-making workshops to name but a few. Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in village life; wander around the village and sip coffee with the locals, or visit the exquisitely frescoed UNESCO 11th-century byzantine monastery and chat to the priest.
Nearby attractions include the fabulous Kykko and Trooditissa monasteries and the famous Painted Churches of Cyprus. Fishing, hiking, rock-climbing, abseiling, mountain adventure parks and skiing in winter are also accessible. Casale Panayiotis is just 50 minutes from Nicosia, or 60 minutes from Limassol by car.
