Fantastic property

The property is located a short stroll from the main square, it is a fantastic spacious and modern property, very well equipped and spotlessly clean, there is a small supermarket about 80 metres away and the lady who runs it is lovely, Famagusta old town is a unique location to stay and the walled town has a good selection of nice restaurants and bars, our particular favourites were The Pines and The Garga Tavern. The beach and the deserted city are about 20 minutes walk and please sit on the terrace of the Palms Hotel and have a cocktail, they are amazing and the price more than reasonable. Steven is a brilliant host who goes out of his way to make sure you have a great holiday, we would thoroughly recommend the house and Famagusta it's self, go now before everyone discovers it, We shall definitely return

Perfect Stay

Excellent location within easy walking for restaurants and historical buildings, very comfortable house with all modern equipment , Rental car required to explore other parts of the island/beaches towards Iskele. Not too far to walk to Palm Beach hotel were you can pay a minimum amount to use their pool and beach. Overall a great holiday

Location, location.

Situated in a quiet are of Old Famagusta, The White House was ideally located for bars, shops and restaurants. A small, but well formed, corner store was no more than 100m away. A well equipped property, friendly locals, and value for money when eating out combined to make it a great break. One to return to. One suggestion - get an upright oscillating fan as the downstairs patio was very airless. NB - there is a £20 limit per week on electricity - this isn’t mentioned on the HomeAway site.

Haven of Tranquility

A lovely property that provides all that is required. It’s very hard to tear yourself away from the roof terrace, as it is so quiet and relaxing with lovely views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Another enjoyable stay

This was our 5th stay at the White House. It is in a quiet location, In a local street and 15 minutes walk to the beach. With one double bedroom and one with two singles.The best feature is the rooftop terrace. It has sun loungers and a gazebo. A great place to relax with a few cold drinks. The drinks are available at the shop across the street.Very friendly local people. Will return soon.

Oh! What a lovely surprise, so peaceful and lovely

We have been travelling to North Cyprus for our holidays for many years now and previously visited Famagusta for a day visit but, when we saw this property advertised we thought it ideal for a relaxing break without the need to hire a car as we have always done before and decided to try it. We fell in love immediately. So clean, comfortable and so so quiet and peaceful. Steven the owner has furnished and decorated the house with great care and good taste and has supplied everything you could possibly need, and more, to make your stay comfortable. Location is great, short walk to shops and restaurants and , well we were spoilt for choice too with some really amazing food on offer. Wonderful. Delightful local people and so much to see within walking distance. We loved it. Thank you Steven for letting us stay in your beautiful house. We will be back. Jim and Joy

Definitely a 5 star property as described.

The White House is a magnificent property, well managed by the owner. It provided for us an oasis of tranquility yet should you require -all amenities are within walking distance. An excellent venue to explore Northern Cyprus. We will return many times .

Amazing villa in a fantastic location

We’ve been to Cyprus a number of times and always stayed in an apartment in Iskele. This year we fancied staying somewhere more spacious and where there were options of evening entertainment on foot! And boy did we pick a winner! The villa immediately felt like home with every item you could ever need and loads more besides. And as for the location, well for me, this is the trendiest area I’ve seen in Northern Cyprus, with the exception of Kyrenia. Some fabulous bars with outdoor seating and live music and some fantastic restaurants. We’d originally planned on walking into the main part of Famagusta but it’s a bit of a trek with a buggy and the uneven Cypriot pavements! It’s only 5 mins away by car though and although a car’s not essential when staying at this villa, I’d advise it to be able to go to beaches further north etc. When renting a car either speak to the villa’s owner Steve who will have local contacts or if hiring one yourself, make sure you use a company based in Famagusta not Kyrenia, as the latter will slap on a hefty £50 delivery charge! Should be able to get one for around £15-17 a day and petrol is super cheap out there. Anyway if you’re looking for a well cared for home with all your home comforts, I seriously don’t think you could find better for your money. We’d return in a heartbeat! Oh and Brits, all the plug sockets are UK ones, so you don’t need European adapters. Finally, the owner Steve was incredibly efficient and a fantastic communicator-he really makes every effort for the whole rental process to be seamless. Do it!

Very Nice

This lovely ground floor 2 bed house with a large sunny roof terrace is ideally placed for visiting North Cyprus. The location inside the old city walls is excellent with lots of local shops, bars and restaurants, all within walking distance. The accommodation was clean and tidy and well equipped. The housekeeper Jackie was on hand and a great help.

What a great house.

A property placed in the right location, literally less than 5 minutes walk to all main shops, restaurants and bars within the castle walls. The house is beautiful, fully equipped and extremely spacious, enough for a small family or a couple. Home owner is very friendly and approachable at all times to help and answer any questions. When we arrived at the house it was spotless and a delight to arrive to. Both bathrooms were also very nice and spacious. The balcony area has also got furniture and cushions and extras boxed away so they are clean and fresh for us to use as and when required, alongside BBQ equipment ready to use. Would highly recommend this place.

Quality property great location

An excellent base to explore the old town of Famagusta and the rest of North Cyprus. The quality finish of this spacious property makes it so easy to maintain along with easy access to the roof terrace which is a delight. All fixings and sockets are uk standard along with helpful signage to assist in their use. We have visited Cyprus annually for many years and this property is one of the best we have stayed in and we will certainly be returning.

Does not disappoint!

This was our 3rd stay at the White House.....and it just gets better and better. We love being in the old town, we have our favourite restaurants but this year tried Othello as well. Highly recommended. The accommodation could not be better and for our two weeks a year seems like home. Relaxing every evening on the sun terrace with a gin and tonic is perfection... Thanks again to Steve (our absent host) and Jackie

5 Star Accomodation

If you're considering a holiday in North Cyprus you won't be disappointed with the White House in Famagusta, which is a beautifully renovated and furnished property in the old town. Although you're only walking distance from a small shop and a number of good restaurants, the area hasn't lost any of its natural charm. This was our second stay at the White House which proves what a lovely place it is as we don't normally visit anywhere more than once.We hired a car for the week in order to visit other places such as Kyrennia and Nicosia and spent relaxing time on the roof terrace on our return. If you want to experience the real Cyprus this is definitely the place to stay.

The perfect place to relax and the perfect base to explore from.Very comfortable and welcoming.

We really enjoyed our second visit to The White House. The house is a great place to stay. We relaxed from the moment we opened the door. The owner has really thought through what visitors will need and provided everything possible. The house is superbly maintained and looked after. The shaded roof area is a perfect place to spend time and the air-conditioning really works if temperatures get too high.The bed rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms and showers are all you could ask for. The kitchen is well kitted out and the nearby corner shop is very well stocked. There is a good supermarket within five minutes easy drive. We found Farmagusta to be a very friendly and extremely interesting city. The local (Palm) beach is somehow vibrant and peaceful at the same time. We also visited Nicosia, The Karpas, Salamis and Kyrenia and St Hilarion Castle on easy ,very enjoyable day trips. Silver beach just up the coast has great swimming, easy parking, free showers and and a wonderful beach restaurant. All in all a perfect holiday, Tom and Janet French

Wonderful

Really lovely apartment right in the centre of the old town. Great for family with up to 2 children. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, tv/sat and even a washing machine. Very efficient wood burner for colder evenings and aircon in all rooms. Free parking right outside (car hire for 1 week only £85 and worth it as allows trips to salamis, kyrenia, Nicosia and Karpas peninsula).

FABULOUS FAMAGUSTA

FROM THE BEGINNING OF OUR HOLIDAY THROUGH TO THE END WE WANTED FOR NOTHING. TRANSFERS FROM LARNACA AIRPORT TO GAZIMAGUSA WERE ARRANGED BY THE OWNER STEVE AND HIS DEDICATED TEAM. WE WERE WHISKED AWAY IN AN AIR CONDITIONED MERCEDES DRIVEN BY RASHID WHO IS VERY AMICABLE .WE HAD CHOSEN THIS PROPERTY AS ALL WE WANTED TO ACHIEVE DURING OUR 18 NIGHT STAY WAS TO RECHARGE OUR BATTERIES . STAYING AT WHITE HOUSE CERTAINLY ENABLED US TO DO THIS. WE SPENT MANY DAYS ON THE ROOF TERRACE READING OR LISTENING TO MUSIC ........ABSORBING THE WARMTH OF THE SUN ....... KEEPING COOL WITH THE AID OF THE PLEASANT AND MOST APPRECIATED BREEZE. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO RENT A CAR ( WHICH IS ADVISABLE TO BOOK BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR HOLIDAY) OR THERE IS A BUS STATION OUTSIDE THE OLD CITY WALLS FROM WHERE YOU CAN GET A COACH TO NICOSIA, LARNACA, KYRENIA AND MORE. WHITE HOUSE IS SITUATED IN A QUIET AND FRIENDLY RESIDENTIAL AREA. THERE ARE MINI MARTS, SUPERMARKETS, RESTAURANTS, BARS AND A WEALTH OF HISTORICAL SITES ALL WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE. TIPS FOR FUTURE RENTERS:- TAKE SOME PERFUMED NAPPY SACKS AND BABY WIPES FOR YOUR DAILY BATHROOM VISITS. IF YOU DO WASH ANY OF YOUR CLOTHES THEN WE WOULD SUGGEST HANGING THEM OUT AT NIGHT AND THEY WILL BE SOFT AND DRY BY THE MORNING. ( NOT DE RIGUEUR IN THE UK ! ) UPON OUR RETURN TO THE UK WE HAVE ARRIVED BACK RELAXED , TANNED AND EVEN SOME UNSPENT HOLIDAY FUNDS REMAIN ! - WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT FROM A HOLIDAY.

About the host

Hosted by Steven

I am from the North East of England and have been visiting Cyprus and North Cyprus for over 14 years. I fell in love with the area and purchased a property to renovate to use as my holiday home.
The property is ran by Jackie from Famagusta Holiday Rentals

Why they chose this property

I have been holidaying in North Cyprus for the past 14 years and fell in love with the people, the pace of life, the coast line and the Old Walled City of Famagusta. I decided that I would like to purchase a property in Famangusta as it is much quieter than other areas of the island. One year I stayed in a house within the Old Walled City and it was the best holiday I had ever had mainly because I could walk to the restaurant, bars and cafes and I could forget about my car. My love for property and good imagination lead me to purchase a derelict house. It was a blank canvas that I could work with to create a great home for when I retire.

What makes this property unique

The White House is located in a quiet and peaceful area but with in 2 minutes walk of all amenities. The house even has its own amazing roof terrace where you can sit and enjoy the views of the surrounding city and port. The house has just been fully renovated and all of the furniture and fittings are brand new.
