Casale Panayiotis

非常滿意！太喜歡了！酒店的一切都令人印象深刻！如果來塞浦路斯一定要來體驗一下這個山中的世外桃源，完全值得！

Nestled on the steep slopes of the Troodos Mountains, the village of Panayiotis in Cyprus feels like something out of a fairytale. As you approach, the sight of its terracotta rooftops clinging to the mountainside strikes you with its picturesque beauty. The village, almost magically suspended above the valley, beckons visitors with its timeless charm. The journey into Panayiotis involves navigating winding roads that offer breathtaking views at every turn. Upon arrival, the village unfolds with a mix of quaint alleyways and traditional stone houses. One of its highlights is the boutique hotel Casale Panayiotis. Tucked away at the end of a narrow alley, its reception is housed in one of the original village homes, and all the rooms are spread across these restored historic buildings, offering an authentic experience in a setting that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. However, the village itself is a bit deceptive. As you wander the winding streets, you expect to stumble upon bustling squares or hidden gems, but most paths lead to yet more clusters of old, quiet homes. The beauty of these ancient houses is undeniable, yet with every turn, you find yourself met with the same tranquil scenery, and it can grow monotonous. While Panayiotis is steeped in history, there is surprisingly little in the way of attractions or cultural experiences. Aside from the beautifully preserved medieval monastery on the outskirts, the village supermarket seems to be the only other cultural event worth visiting, offering a modest selection of local goods. Adding to the village's charm—and frustration—is the heat. In the sweltering summer sun, all you want to do is dive into a cool pool. And there it is, like a shimmering mirage—an inviting, crystal-clear swimming pool that sticks out like a glistening jewel, cantilevered over a back garden from one of the old stone houses. It’s private, of course, and completely off-limits. This tantalizing sight, hanging just out of reach, only heightens the longing for relief, making it both alluring and annoyingly inaccessible. For a touch of excitement, the village funicular is a curious novelty. This small cable car whisks you from one street to another, offering sweeping views of the village and valley as it ascends the steep hill. While the funicular is a highlight, it underscores the quiet, slow-paced nature of the village. In summary, Panayiotis is perfect for those seeking peace, history, and a scenic retreat. However, beyond its medieval monastery and charming streets, the village is quiet—sometimes to a fault—with little to offer in the way of traditional tourist attractions. Still, its serene beauty and unique accommodations make it an unforgettable, if understated, getaway.

We have been going to this hotel since 2017 and the service was always average. We like the village very much and how the hotel is scattered. However this year the service was really BAD and we are not going again. The hotel was advertising (they also sent us an email) that guests can park at any parking close to the hotel (since the hotel has no parking) and that club cars can pick the guests and drive them to the reception or their room. This never happened and they told us from the reception that the police do not allow the club cars to attend the parking lots!! When we called a club car to drive us from the room to the reception they told us that they have no club car available and as soon as they have availability they will call us. For the records they never called us. One night we decided to stay in the room and we ordered food from room service. We ordered at 8 and the food came at 10.15 and they brought us the wrong order and they came back with the correct order at 10.35(no need to say that the food was really bad and cold). During checkout we also noticed that they charged us food and drinks that we never ordered ! The hotel is very nice, the village is magnificent but the service is at least the service of a 2* hotel. Only Kyriakos was helpful, the rest were not interested to assist guests

Before arriving: Excellent communication and suggestions follow up from the staff. Very proactive with parking arrangements and porter services. Upon arriving: Check in on time and excellent suite. ( We stayed opposite the small church) very clean and neat. Hot, pressurised water at all times. The staff was very attentive and special thanks to Kyriakos for tolerating our wood requests :) Not the first time visiting and definitely not the last.

This hotel has a mix of excellent and poor aspects. Its reception and managerial staff are excellent (and deal with all issues professionally and well) and the location (once you get there - as it is a long and winding road from Paphos) is great. However, the rooms are very variable. The family rooms are very poor: they are one two floors with a narrow staircase, which makes carrying children's equipment and suitcases very difficult; and have damp and small bathrooms with poor amenities. In contrast, the rooms closer to the reception, which have clearly had a much better renovation, are high quality, offering very good amenities. The main restaurant does not have enough variety of menu options, especially if eating there for more than one dinner, and the staff there need much better training if it wants to be a 4 or 5 star hotel, as too many were not good.

We have decided to book a couple treatment at the SPA of Casale Panayiotis. It was the best the thing that could have happened for our anniversary. The relaxing Thai massage by professionals as Kiki and Bee was amazing! Facial treatments and jacuzzi at the end with bottle of sparkling wine and fruit platter added to our experience. We will definitely come back!
