The Cobblers – A Unique and Timeless Retreat
Once the village cobbler’s house, The Cobblers is a spacious, traditional home that perfectly combines old-world charm with modern comforts to cater to the sophisticated traveler. Highlights include FREE Wi-Fi, a PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL, SEA VIEWS, a newly renovated luxury bathroom, and convenient UK-style plug points.

A Historical Haven
Dating back over 200 years, this remarkable house is built on three sides around a private, stone-paved courtyard. The courtyard connects the wings of the home and features stunning Mediterranean plants, a swimming pool, and a majestic ancient olive tree that offers welcome shade during the summer months.

Design & Artistic Flair
The Cobblers is the home of London fashion designer Marguerite Hannah, whose creative vision has infused every corner of the house with elegance and artistry. Handpicked art and objects enhance the tranquil atmosphere, making it a truly special and serene getaway.

Outdoor Luxury
Furnished Sun Deck: Enjoy sea views and sunsets while sipping a glass of wine.

Private Swimming Pool: Relax by the pool, surrounded by ample sun beds and a stone patio area.

Gardens: Explore peaceful corners of the garden, adorned with vibrant Mediterranean plants and flowers in terracotta pots.

Comfortable & Spacious Living
Bedrooms:

1 Double Bedroom: Located across the courtyard, complete with its own en-suite shower room.

1 Twin Bedroom & 1 Family Room: Situated in another wing, sharing a luxurious family bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Kitchen & Dining: A large, fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining area comfortably seat six guests.

Living Spaces:

First floor features a double-sized lounge with air conditioning and two distinct areas:

TV Room: Includes a DVD player, a video library, and HDMI cables for connecting your own devices.

Reading Lounge: Cozy armchairs and a wood-burning stove create the perfect ambiance for romantic winter evenings.

Ground level offers a quiet room with air conditioning and a collection of books for peaceful moments.

Practical & Convenient
Parking: Ample space for vehicles on the adjoining land.

Car Hire: A car is highly recommended to make the most of your stay; rental options are affordable in Cyprus.

Children: Small children will need supervision due to the stone steps and terraces in the garden.

Location & Surroundings
The Cobblers is located in Maroni, a charming and traditional village perfectly situated within an hour’s drive of Larnaca, Limassol, and Nicosia.

Maroni offers a local supermarket and a delightful coffee shop/bar run by an English owner, where you can enjoy cocktails and light snacks just a few steps from the house.

Charming Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at Cobblers, a unique property where every room opens onto the lovely courtyard with an olive tree in the middle to shade under in the heat of the day. The pool is a nice size even if it looks a little small in the pictures it’s actually about 1.5m deep and big enough to swim short lengths. The sun terrace was enjoyable as the shade and cool breeze made for a comfortable place to sit even in the middle of the day. Maroni beach just about 5 minutes in the car has a few sunbeds and a small cafe but still small enough to not feel overwhelmed with tourists, I think most users were local. And keeping it local anyone staying at Cobblers should visit The Piazza local restaurant just a short walk away from the cottage where we had the best meal in Cyprus for value and quality. The mezze we shared was the most food I’ve ever seen presented to me with many tasty courses, and the night we ate there live music played on the stage. All of us want to return as we enjoyed our time in Cyprus at Cobblers so much.

Far from the madding crowd....

We had a wonderfully relaxing time at The Cobblers. The house is spacious and characterful, set around an attractive courtyard on different levels with a number of seating areas to relax, eat or lie by the pool - the rooftop terrace with its welcome breeze was a favourite spot! Maroni village is quiet and unspoilt, with easy access to a number of beaches, an interesting Neolithic site (if you like ruins), also a fascinating bee and embroidery museum and a family-run restaurant with delicious and authentic Greek fare, all to be found at/near the village of Lefkara. We loved our stay and would thoroughly recommend this charming house if you can manage different levels (probably not ideal for the very elderly or very young).

Safe, private environment for all the family.

The villa is exactly as described and the photos show the facilities accurately. We were a family ranging in age from 4 to 75 and we all had a great time. We were self catering and were able to find everything we needed in the villa. The local market around the corner was handy for basics like eggs milk and bread, however a more substantial shop could be done at the supermarket about 20 mins away . We ate out twice at the taverna in Maroni and in Tochni. Both venues were reasonably priced and served ample portions. Our time at the villa was great fun. The pool was used extensively and those needing shade were always able to find some. We were met by Costa, the venue manager who was easily contactable if we needed him which was seldom. The way the villa surrounds the courtyard and pool provides a safe private environment in which to relax and enjoy oneself. My family had a fabulous holiday and would highly recommend.

Beautiful sunny haven in picturesque village

From the magical moment of opening the arched door at 11pm this house won us! It has charm and ambience in abundance: the wonderful ancient olive tree and the many beautiful plants, the medieval-looking wooden balconies, and the quiet atmosphere. We found space in the house for everyone to find a quiet sunny nook, and for everyone to sit together for meals and enjoy the pool. Thank you Alan we'd love to come again.

Fantastic Villa - Great Holiday - Cannot Fault It!

We recently returned from a 2 week stay at the cobblers in lovely Maroni. What a fantastic property, we loved it! Our group was 4 adults and a 13 month old baby. The property has so much character and you really do feel like you are staying in a piece of history however it has all of the mod cons you would expect including air conditioning in all the main areas of the house. The pool is fantastic and the garden and roof terrace is stunning. We spent many an evening BBQing and chilling with great wine watching the sun set. Alan the owner is great, nothing was a problem, he was very informative and provided us with everything we needed to make our stay perfect. We will certainly be booking again!

A home from home...and then some!

I’d like to start with a remarkable coincidence. A few years ago we were staying in a property in Maroni. I was fascinated by the house next door. It had a raised sun terrace and an arched double door with a peep hole in it. As it appeared to be unoccupied at the time every time I walked by I looked through the peep hole to see if I could make out what was beyond the door. It wasn’t until we had actually finalised the booking that I realised that The Cobblers was that exact place! I couldn’t have possibly imagined what was beyond those doors. It’s truly amazing! We were rather spoiled, having the whole place for just two of us but there is more than enough room and everything you need for full occupancy! Alan was very helpful on the couple of occasions I contacted him with minor queries and responded quickly. We stayed for 10 days but would have loved to stay much longer - could even imagine living there! It was great chatting to Marguerite’s sister who arrived just as we were leaving. She had a large paper bag of still warm savoury pastries with her. Probably not one of my more sensible ideas - driving down those narrow streets while eating a pastry. It was delightful though. We love Cyprus and especially being away from the cities - they are all still a must for a visit though. Staying at The Cobblers made this holiday even more enjoyable. Dave & Chris

Lovely property with plenty of character.

A little hard to find but this place is tranquil... we had a really peaceful, relaxing week. The master bedroom mattress was not very supportive of bad backs, and you'd probably struggle to get around the place with bad knees (lots of steps!) but we cannot otherwise fault the property. We spent many afternoons relaxing under the shade of the olive tree & swimming in the pool, mornings having breakfast on the roof terrace & evenings playing cards in the sitting room. The kitchen is fully equipped and basic food & alcohol supplies await you in the kitchen. AC in all the important rooms and no shortage of places to sit & relax. Alan (owner) was also very helpful & quick to respond via email. We'd definitely recommend this place to others if you're looking for an escape from the hustle & bustle. Food at The Old Coffee Shop (Maroni) and Retro Tavern (Kalavasos) was very good. Koumbaris (Zygi) was disappointing.

Absolutely beautiful villa! From the minute we saw this place we knew it was perfect for us!

The aim of our holiday was total peace, quiet and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of a tourist resort and we were not disappointed! The route through Maroni was lovely, via narrow paved streets – a truly traditional Cypriot village with not too much more than a few streets, a coffee/cocktail bar that opened a few times a week, and a little village shop for essentials The villa itself is superb, from the double sturdy wooden traditional doors that you make you feel like you’re walking into a castle, to the quirky property layout and wonderful roof terrace looking over the village, hills and to sea. We didn’t find ourselves wanting for anything and truly felt like we were staying in someone’s home with all the comfort that we’re used to, without it feeling like temporary holiday accommodation The property is split over 4 levels with entrance hall and kitchen on street level then steps down to the snug, with further steps down to the bedrooms and pool. On the upper level is the snug/living room and at the top is the fabulous roof terrace where we spent much of our time having breakfast while watching the sun come up, and having our evening meals watching the sunset. The pool area was lovely and very private, with welcome shade from the olive tree during the midday sunshine. This area gets the sun from very early morning until around 5pm and from then we went up to the roof terrace where the sun finally disappeared behind the village around 7pm. Re housekeeping, we didn’t have any issues at all and the villa was well stocked with cleaning products, teatowels, dishwasher tablets etc to look after ourselves, however if we had a suggestion it would be that if we were a family we might have struggled with shower and pool towels for 2 weeks as there was no housekeeping during our stay. As it was, we are a couple so we used the spare set from another room but if this hadn’t have been possible we’d have probably had to look at washing them through which isn’t something you necessarily want to do on holiday (although it was so hot they would have dried quickly so no major inconvenience) The kitchen is extremely well stocked and cooking ‘at home’ is very easy and we did this most nights Alan was very quick to answer any questions we had both before and during the visit, and the welcome basket of wine, tea, coffee, butter, bread, water, crisps and fruit was much appreciated and a very nice touch. Thank you so much, we cant wait to return!

Peaceful house in great village

We were a family of 6 adults staying for 8 days at Cobblers. Everything was as described, plenty of room for us all to holiday without tripping over each other. Pool was great at the end of a day sightseeing and we loved the view from the terrace! Costas helped with great check in and out. We loved the quiet village and proximity to everything. You must visit Lenias tavern in nearby Psematismenos for great local food. Thank you for a great family holiday!

Die ganze Einrichtung ist über komplet. Alles ist da und funktioniert. Der Garten im Innenhof sehr gepflegt. Der Pool sauber. Mit Leihauto keine 5 Minuten zum Strand und ein wunderschönes Kirchlein in der direkten Nachbarschaft. Ideal auch für ein Läufchen zum Morgenstart. Sehr ruhig, kein Verkehr.

Magnificent Maroni villa

Our stay at the Cobblers was perfect. The space combines old world charm with modern conveniences. You enter the home through a low entryway at the bottom of a stone street. Immediately, you will see the lovely landscaped garden and pool area. Our family (2 adults, 10 year old & 5 year old girls) found it so serene to spend our days under the umbrella by the pool. The master bedroom and bedroom with two single beds are located in one part of the home, separated by a full bath. A separate entrance welcomes you into the third bedroom where you will find an en-suite full bath, and a laundry closet. All bedrooms were generous in size and have air con. The entire home has air con except for the bathrooms and kitchen. While I would prefer it everywhere (I am American after all), the area has cooler temperatures in the evening making cooking or showering tolerable. Upstairs from the main entryway and kitchen is a spacious sitting room. Directly above that is my favorite part of the house, a terrace overlooking Maroni village with views of the sea. I found it to be the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail and watch the sunset. There is also a second sitting room between the entryway and the main bedrooms. Everywhere you turn, there are places to discover in this villa and everyone felt that they had privacy and plenty of personal space. We have been to Maroni many times as my husband’s grandparents are from the village, but this trip was extra special with the accommodations!
