About this property

Detached Designer Villa. With Heated Pool , WIFI & Stunning Sea Views .


Villa Hunter is a New detached 3 bedroom
boutique villa with Private pool set in a commanding positions with far reaching views over the Paphos coast and coral Bay, in the village of Tala.
A traditional Cypriot village, Tala has been described as the Beverly Hills of Cyprus. You will become part of a great local community with several tavernas and a couple of bars located around the village square. That is if you can leave your beautiful new Villa behind.

We really are in the BEST LOCATION in Tala, an easy 8 minutes walk or 1 min drive to the Tavernas in Tala square and great uninterrupted views over the paphos coast. The villa is not on a large estate as per others on the this site but by itself with just a couple of villas to your right and the next door villa is only occupied in august ( a lovely Cypriot family who will make you very welcome) so you will have a very quiet and private stay.

Set in a quiet location with it's own pool & well maintained gardens you can enjoy a quiet or romantic stay in this designer villa. The villa has a contemporary feel, furnished by Bo- Concept & interior design by Conrad.
We have furnished the villa to give you a relaxing stay but with all the toy's including, Free WiFi , 50 Inc TV, PS2, CD, bluetooth speakers inside and for outside the villa, DVD, home cinima and SKY internet TV.

3 large bedrooms the huge master bedroom is queen size 2nd king size then a 3rd twin bedroom allwith finest Egyptian cotton linen will ensure a great nights sleep. The master bedroom & 2nd bedroom have new ceiling fans that makes for a comfortable nights sleep in the summer.
A cot is available by arrangement and also a Stair gate and hire chair.

Outside the comfortable seating area is ideal for a relaxing drink while watching the sunset or the decked eating area with the new sunsail creates a lovely outside area with under floor lighting for an evening Cypriot BBQ

Sit outside at night under the new sunsail with outside deck lights for a lovely evening drink. The new sunsail creates a really shaded area to eat and relax through the day, out of the sun and for you to enjoy the views to the sea and the paphos coast,

We have Free WIFI & Internet access in the villa again rare for a holiday villa. We have also just added a new internet TV system that shows all UK channels, BBC,ITV Sky & Sky sports plus you can see all the latest Movies that are just out on one system. The best package on the island.

Outside there is a large outdoor bean bags for sleeping around the pool, huge and really comfortable.

Our Heated Pool is a must to get you swimming outside of july & August so why not treat yourselves and enjoy a swim under the stars. This is very rare to find in cyprus and a real luxury. In Febuary this year the pool was 30 deg WOW how great to swim in the winter when normal pools are freezing at 10 degrees.

WE ARE THE ONLY VILLA THAT WILL HAVE YOU SWIMMING IN A WARM POOL IN THE WINTER MONTHS.
There is a small charge to just cover the running cost as it is expensive to run but a nice luxury to have.

We also list on trip adviser and have some great guests reviews on both sites.
Tala Village: The village of Tala is often described as the Beverly Hills of Cyprus.It has a mix of local traditional Cypriot life, expats and large holiday villas set on the hills overlooking Paphos and Coral Bay. It has excellent local facilities with 2 bars, the wonderful walled Hazeli wine bar and 5 local tavernas offering freshly cooked traditional meat, fish and mezze all set in and around the village square.

Traditional Cypriot entertainment is also available on several evenings in the local tavernas. The Easter celebrations during the Greek orthodox holidays are the high light of the local festivals , something not to be missed.

Tala village provides a lovely blend of traditional Cypriot life that makes for an unforgettable holiday experience.
You will experience the real Cypriot life style in a wonderful village while only minutes drive from the blue flag beach of Colal Bay in a fantastic luxury villa.

Out and About: To make the most of your trip hire a car. There are many great places to visit, the historic monuments at the Tomb of the Kings, a local monastery, plus some fantastic fishing villages and mountain tavernas. The blue flag sandy beach at coral bay is 8 mins away & paphos town with local markets & designer shops just down the hill. A great water park and go - karts will keep the kids happy while paphos itself has an upbeat night life and newly pedestrian harbour front for an evenings stroll.
Whether its a day on the beach,shopping in town or a quiet lunch at a local fish restaurant everything is possible from your base in Tala.
The summer months in the hills of Tala are cooler than the coast being above the humidity level & enjoy a relaxing breeze.
So once you have had a great night out you can escape and enjoy relaxing in the peace and luxury of Villa Hunter and Tala village.

Our Top Tips: There are many local vineyards to visit, take a trip to Kathikas and find vasillicon vine yard or lemona and tsageredies winery. We are good friends with the owners of the local bar and Tavernas and can recommend some great places to eat out at night to ensure a great holiday. Many of the places we reccommend will also offer our guests a free drink which we have negotiated especially for you with the owners.
We will also send you a great list of places to visit and eat with trip adviser reviews for some great days & nights out
GOLF there are 3 top golf courses within about a 20 minute drive.
The nearest course is 10 minutes away at Tasada.( minthis Hills)
This course is called Minthis hills and has just under gone a major redevelopment.
The new Faldo course in Paphos at elea is just fab, while
Aphrodities Hills and Secret valley courses are around 20 minutes away.
Aphrodities hills is a great courses and a real challenge. Home to the european tour Cyprus open. One of my favourites. Also visit the spa for a relaxing day out.
If you need help or advise we can help, as keen golfers we will help arrange tee times and free advise about golf in cyprus and how to arrange discount on your green fee.

The last castle restaurant on the way to lara beach is a must. A great place for lunch.
The akamans penninsular and lara beach is a national park. You'll fine lovely deserted beaches including turtle beach.

Vist Polis and Latchi for a great day out.
Agious Georgies fishing village for a meal.
our no 1 restuarant tweedies
fine dining in cyprus at a great price,

we do though have our own list of places we have been to and as foodies will ensure you have some great nights out.

No expense has been spared on the villa and we keep adding things that guests want as our aim is to give a great personal service that you would expect for a 5** villa holiday with that extra personal touch.

Heated pool
We have a heated pool which is very rare to find, and will ensure you are swimming in the early and late season.This is a heat exchange unit and will give you a good pool temp of around 28-30 deg plus in feburary - june & sept to january used well with the solar cover. There is a small charge £90 per wk just to cover running costs and added if required after booking but this is a really nice luxury that will get you swimming when other pools are cold . Great for a midnight swim.

Great well equipped villa

The villa is very well appointed - and exactly as described . A modern lovely villa set just outside Tala inland from Coral Bay. Decor very tastefully done. The owners were very accommodating and helpful , including organising transfer to/from airport along with the use of their own car. Highly recommend for a lovely relaxing stay. Villa more suited for adults or older children (rather than pre-school )

Beautiful villa and amazing views

We booked a holiday with our 3 children to Cyprus having found Villa Hunter online and we are so glad we dropped on such a beautiful villa in a beautiful location of Cyprus. Peter and Jane who own the villa are just so helpful wih all their helpful reviews of local restaurants, things to do etc. The villa has everything you need and is so spacious. The kids loved playing in the pool as did we also. Would definitely go back. Thank you Peter and Jane for allowing us to stay in your amazing villa. Love the Lomas family

Fantastic villa!

The villa was everything we had hoped for and more. The setting is so peaceful and the view is stunning. The location was perfect close enough to Tala so we could experience laid back village life but within easy driving distance of the more lively Paphos or Coral Bay. Peter the owner was so supportive and helpful making our holiday one of the best ever. tHank you!

Fantastic villa & village

We stayed in Villa Hunter this May and had a fantastic holiday . The villa has everything for a great family holiday ,wifi,great TV system and films , music . However being just 2 of us we enjoyed the space of the villa and pool / gardens . The owners have thought of every thing you need for a comfortable & relaxing . The main bedroom has a huge queen size bed , very comfortable and goes out onto the veranda were we enjoyed breakfast and the lovely views over the coast . The heated pool was lovely and warm which was great for a midnight dip . While the gardens and views are just stunning , esp picking my your own lemons for the G&T . Tala was a great base , wiith welcoming taverns for a night out yet just a short drive to the beach . The village has recently had a major renovation with a lovely new village square yet maintains some lovely old buildings, church and monastery . The owners sent us lots of information and the communication was really helpful during the booking . They made our whole trip so simple with good directions and even took the time to call us before we went to talk us through the directions . They gave us some great restaurant tips all were fantastic , this really made our stay . I could go on but we really did have one of the best holidays ever . Many thanks and we will hopefully be back next year.

quality, peace, relaxation

From enquiry through to arriving back home, the owners maintained contact to ensure our second trip exceeded our first. Having a party of individuals who were vegan, vegetarian and meat eaters, our hosts researched local tavernas that offered a wide selection of food for all of our diets. The villa is THE place to base your holiday from. Luxery, well equipped, well located, safe. Handy for evening strolls to the local village, where Villa Hunter guests are welcomed. This was our second trip, will be going again

Superb, relaxed holiday

Had a fantastic visit for two weeks. Villa was exceptionally well appointed and laid out, comfortable beds, sofa etc. The golf clubs were well used and hubby visited all 4 courses, this was a bonus as meant we didn't have to cart ours. Peter and Jane really have thought of everything down to a beach bag ... pool was stunning and warm which is important when you have kids who like the pool ! It is quite hilly and would say you definitely needed a car (which we knew) as you get such a good welcome pack from the owners. Superb, relaxing break which is what we went for. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Great Villa Great Location Great Holiday!

Peter & Jane made us welcome from the day we enquired about the villa. I was a little sceptical about how good all the reviews were but they really are all true. The Villa is lovely with great views and the heated pool a dream! The BBQ was slightly small but with so many amazing places to eat close by we didn't actually use it. The villa was spotless when we arrived and a real home from home. The giant bean bags are an excellent idea especially if you suffer from back ache as I do. Beds were really comfortable. Plenty of entertainment with DVDs, satellite TV, CD player & a docking station (but this does not have a lightning connection so take an adapter). There is even a mobile phone & tablet for your use if you wish. Peter & Jane really have thought of everything to make your stay perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay - thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful home. The Childs family

We booked villa hunter for our wedding in August and could have made a better choice. Peter was so helpful and couldn't have been kinder. He searched for things that we me need and also took pictures of the venue so we knew what it looked like before we arrived. The information given on the villa and maps were a godsend and the villa itself was wonderful. Thank you so much for making everything so special

3rd Visit and still as fabulous as ever. 5 stars

This is my 3rd stay in Villa Hunter and it really is a gorgeous place to spend a holiday. Peter and Jane are so helpful before you even leave the UK. This was the first time I have rented a car and their directions with pictures made the short trip from the airport even easier. The villa has everything you could want for every type of holiday. Having the car meant we could visit new places and try new restaurants. You have to try the Last Castle and the restaurant in Emba that overlooks the church. Look forward to going back when the new square in Tala is all finished. Can highly recommend Villa Hunter, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing Honeymoon

We stayed At Villa Hunter for 11 nights in June for our Honeymoon with family . from .Australia came with us .The villa was amazing very clean & comfortable. The owners have thought of everything a guest would need for a great stay. There team in Cyprus are p. lly friendly and helpful which helped us find are way around the area quickly and also showed us how to use all the equipment in the villa. Tala was a great location for our Honeymoon, beautiful village with some lovely tavernas yet only a short drive down into paphos and the beach .We were sent a restaurant guide which was a great idea and would recommend that you follow the suggestions as they made for some great nights out. The villa is in a quiet location yet only a short walk to Tala square for a beer in Mario,s.We will mis the lovely views and just chilling around the pool. Thank you Pete &jane for helping arrange an amazing Honeymoon. Hope we can come back next year for our anniversary .

Fantastic villa with lovely outdoor space

Great villa, one of the best that we have stayed in. Great outdoor space to enjoy the afternoon sun and stunning sun sets - loved the outdoor bean bag to relax and recline on. Great base to explore Paphos and Latchi. The information provided by Jane and Peter was fab - this started from our booking right through to our stay, this really added to the anticipation of our visit. Recommendations for great Restaurants really made a difference too. We would definitely recommend this villa.

lovely fully resourced villa, classy but comfy

We arrived late in the evening, but the directions were spot on & gave us a good start to Cyprus. Villa Hunter was better than the photos & write up. Clean, very well equipped down to small but important things, hair dryer, hair straighteners, et. We sat a couple of evenings and had a meal in the dining area of the garden, with gentle music playing, the tunes from the wild life, tree frogs? Locals very friendly and welcoming. A very safe place to chill and relax, by or in the pool, in one of the several areas of the garden, on the comfy couch in the lounge, in your en-suite room, anywhere as the villa has air conditioning! Warning, don't take too many clothes, save your luggage bill, there is an excellent washing machine, clothes dry overnight! Thanks villa Hunter, you've got what is needed for a great holiday!

fabulous villa with pool overlooking Paphos

Had a brilliant week at Villa Hunter. Went to Paphos for a family wedding and decided to stay here rather than in a hotel. So glad we did! The villa was spacious and very well equipped. As a family with 5 adults in we could easily have been on top of each other but that was never the case here. There was plenty of space to chill out and relax either in the house or around the pool. We paid a small extra charge to have the pool heated as it was early May and we are glad we did! It was always a lovely 32 degrees! The standard of furnishing and equipment in the villa was top notch, very stylish and new. The service we received form Peter and Jane the owners was superb! Their recommendations for restaurants etc were great and their help organising taxis etc for us to go to the wedding was so thoughtful. Before we went Peter spoke to us on the phone, and talked us through the driving directions for finding the villa and told us about things going on locally. Excellent level of service! The villa itself is just on the edge of the village of Tala, it's within walking distance if you are fit enough for the walk uphill on the way back! There are excellent restaurants and bars in Tala and we had some great meals out. We'd recommend a car to stay in this villa as it's not close to public transport. There is parking and we used the car to go into Paphos itself as well as stocking up at the nearby supermarkets Carrefour, Aldi and the best one -The Garden of Eden. All about a 10 min drive away, with local shops nearer for daily stuff. We'd definitely stay there again if we go to Paphos. Brilliant!
Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2016

Love Cyprus!

Cyprus! What a wonderful surprise! We arrived in Cyprus via Larnaca airport. Rented a car, drove to Tala.The drive was not a bad drive and gave us a good layout of Cyprus's terrain.Peter's directions were right on and the house was easy to find. The house is everything anyone could ask for. We wanted a relaxing environment and Hunter Villa was just what we were looking for. The rooms were perfect for all! The pool was nicely heated just as we requested. It was a little to cold to swim do to the outside temperature but by the end of our nine day stay the weather was perfect for the heated pool. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. We had planned on cooking at least two meals a day..but with the wonderful food, great prices and fantastic wine we chose to eat out lunch and dinner! Cyprus is the place to go if you are afoodie! Which we are! Love the Cypriot dinners! Peter and Jane had sent us many ideas for restaurants. There is also a binder with restaurant cards at the house for restaurants in the area. They provide so much information that you could stay there a month and not have to research for a wonderful place to eat. Our favorite place in Tala was the Cypriot restaurant Melitzia Tavern (Do go before the sun sets to enjoy the views) We also enjoyed the Cypriot music at Voukani Tavern on the weekend the tavern is located below the hill from the house. We went on several day trips. One recommendation from Peter was to eat in Pissouri at Captain Bays. What a wonderful treat! You can eat wonderful seafood and watch the kids swim/play on the beach. We went to Pissouri after visiting Aphrodite rock.(A must see!)I could write so many great wonderful things! An overall view of Cyprus and Hunter Villa--Peter and Jane are wonderful hosts even from far away! They send so much info before so you are not overwhelmed trying to figure all things out. They have Donna to meet you the first day to go over everything in the house. They also have great friends two houses away. They were wonderful! Came by to make sure we were all ok and then took us to dinner in Paphos at a wonderful dinner spot that everyone needs to dine when in Paphos.(Ta Perix)The house is located a few minutes from many areas. You are centrally located to see Paphos and its historical sites, a few minutes from the local beach, and close to local restaurants that are not touristy so you get a feel of the real Cyprus. Hunter Villa is highly recommended for your next visit!

Our Family Dream was to build this lovely Cyprus villa for Stunning Holidays and one day a great place to live.

Why they chose this property

After many visits to spain, portugal,france and the USA looking for our dream place to build a villa we stumbled across cyprus. Well it was obvious when we first saw this site just a minute away from the lovely cypriot community of Tala and with such a quiet location with views to die for, we found our place we had been searching for and now the rest is history. We built our Villa with the help of a local builder who's family have become such good friends that we now feel so at home in cyprus.

The Villa took 3 years to build and we really enjoyed adding our own style to the design. We took the view to ensure that we had nothing but the best in the villa from furnishing and all the comforts from home. There is nothing worse than having poor beds and linen on holiday so everything we brought is what we would have expected on a 5* .hotel.

Orginally we were just going to use the villa as a holiday home for our family and for some where we hoped to live more in later life.
After a few friends visited and we put 1 advert on the web well things just happened. Guests loved the Villa its location and the local area. Many Guests have returned every year since, they have also become good friends and we now really enjoy helping send guests to enjoy what we first saw in Cyprus & Tala, a great place to chill and enjoy being part of a great and special local community.
We have made many good friends in the local Cypriot community and always feel very special when we visit as they are so welcoming. Our guests now say hi, say where they are staying and enjoy they same warm welcome to this lovely island.

What makes this property unique

I;ll start with the beds they are really comfortable, all linen is eqyption cotton. The house has all the amenities you would have at home and by listening to guest feedback we continually add all the things guests ask for.
A must is swimming under the stars in the heated pool. A real luxury in cyprus and will ensure you are swimming outside of the july & august summer months.There is a small charge that only covers our costs as it is expensive to run but a nice luxury for a relaxing stay.
We have found a great team in cyprus to look after the villa ,pool cleaner, gardener and Donna your host. They all work hard to ensure every thing is tip top and also enjoy helping guests have a good stay.
