Villa Frenetic is great!
We loved the villa so much. We had three generations, total ten family members, and everyone agreed the home was perfect for us. It’s just a short drive to restaurants, markets, beach and other activities, and we also enjoyed the walks. The kitchen had everything we needed, having 5 bedrooms was great and 3 bathrooms was a bonus. We only had a couple questions/needs and Anna and Kostas responded and helped right away. Lovely people, and a pretty country-like setting while close in to town.

Villa Frene
The villa is stunning, the grounds and pool area are amazing.
However, the inside cleanliness, dated furniture, kitchen utensils, lack of hot water left us very dissapointed.
There was only s pans in the kitchen to cook with, the microwave didn't work, it started up but wouldn't heat up.
One of the downstairs bedrooms had mould on the wall and wouldn't be bale to be slept in. The passegway had plaster hanging of of the wall.
We couldn't get hot water in the mornings as the night before was cold and the switch to overide in the master bedroom didn't appear to do anything.
The curtains in the sitting room had holes in the bottom, the sofa is quite tatty.
This villa could be absolutely amazing if it was updated.

Villa Frene
Very nice house off the beaten track, without the hustle and bustle of the city. You can really relax and enjoy your holiday.
With a car everything is relatively close.
Because this is an agricultural area, you have to take into account the possible sounds of the village - dogs barking in the morning, donkeys neighing, roosters, a working irrigation system unit, etc. This is not a disadvantage, it is the charm of the village, but I am writing about it so that you are fully aware when deciding on a villa in such an area.
The hosts are really nice and you can discuss everything with them.
One minor note: it's a pity that the information about the extra paid air conditioning is not more exposed.
We are really happy with this place and recommend it to everyone!!!

Had a lovely stay
Great villa with a beautiful pool area.
The villa has 2 house cats, the cats are friendly but do want to sit near you on the patio, I am not cat friendly so I didn’t like this.
Ants in the kitchen are a problem, on the work tops. This needs addressing.
Whilst we have stayed here we have experienced several power cuts causing the alarm to go off. Sometimes in the middle of the night, Anna the host believes this to be because of the heat. This may have been true but we was losing powder in the villa 3/4 times a day every day. This was a problem.
The rooms was a good size, comfortable, clean. The villa is dated but for the money we paid I found it very good value for money.
I would mention that more toilet rolls & bathroom towels would be beneficial as we run out of toilet rolls and 1 towel per person for a week isn’t really good.
Overall we had an amazing stay in the villa.

Overall Great, But......
The price for a 5 bedroomed villa can't be faulted. Lots of garden space and a fantastic pool area. The location means a car is needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay having two youngsters a teen and four adults, the villa space catered for everyones needs, however....some things do need pointing out.
A few things do need replacing such as the barbeque shelving, it has a big hole in it which I had to repair by wiring a second rack over it. It's also small and cooking for 4 is pushing it a little. The bathrooms need a bit of attention as shower heads are old and the drainage we had to report as whenever you shower, you get a free footbath! The saucepans are old, non-stick coating is peeling off and the bottoms are no longer flat. The air conditioning units are old and quite noisy, but, they do the job...at a price of 5 Euros per room per night, we thought that was incredibly expensive.
As for the location, it's idyllic in one respect as no neighbours close by, no traffic passing.....except for farm vehicles which I'll come to shortly so peace during the daytime is almost guaranteed, however at night it's a completely different story. 5 Euros for a noisy air con unit per night may suit some better than listening to the local dogs barking on and off all night, coupled with the donkey, the cockerel at all hours and the farmers generator for crop spraying/watering drove us mad. Nothing the villa owners can do, but worth knowing.
All said, it's still a budget friendly bargain!

Lovely place for a family
We had a lovely stay here at villa frene, was in a lovely location just a little too far out for the children to walk all the time so we hired a car while we stayed. Pool was lovely, although not heated was perfect to cool off in during the day. The villa itself was beautiful and surrounded by nature at its best. Anna was a fantastic host and answered any questions we had and helped us with anything we needed while we stayed there. She met us at the villa and greeted us and showed us round.

Spacious, great price
Had a lovely stay at the villa. The host was extremely friendly, quick to reply, and flexible with our checkout as the property was empty after us, which we really appreciated. The villa had everything we needed and was spacious, though could benefit with a bit of updating in places. This didn't detract from our stay at all. The pool was clean and we had plenty of sun loungers and chairs to enjoy the sun. We paid extra for aircon on in the bedrooms as felt it was needed at night. As others have said there are some dogs barking often nearby but earplugs made this fine. There are also some cats that live by the property who are very friendly and the host asked us to put biscuits out for them :)
The only thing is that there was a weird smell in the kitchen cupboards - I think this was because we were the first to stay there in a while so my feedback would be that that should be checked when the property has been empty for a while.

Fabulous villa away from the crowds
Such a lovely villa with plenty of space and away from the the hustle and bustle but close enough to get to everything by car. It was all really clean and comfortable. It’s about a 8-10 minute drive to Pafos and even less to a large village that has everything you may need. Would love to come back one day. Thank you Anna and Kostas

Super helpful hosts and relaxed location
We visited with our extended family including children between 6 and 14 yrs. First the good. And I mean really good! Anna & Kosta's communication was great, checking our party size, arrival time etc. and responding to our few queries super quick. The property is just as described on the listing, and is in a secluded location in the middle of surrounding agricultural land. Geroskipou Beach & Waterpark are easily walkable (around 1km). A bit further or a bus to the nearest shop or Paphos Harbour so would recommend a car if you don't want to rely on taxis or want to explore further afield. The pool was great, clean & regularly maintained. For the price, there are literally no bad points. As a family, we prefer somewhere that is reasonably priced and modestly appointed - less to worry about the kids damaging! So yes, some furnishings could be refreshed or updated, but the villa had just about everything we needed and was clean, secure & tidy. If you're expecting 5-star hotel luxury, then you might be a little disappointed. We didn't need the optional extra aircon, even in the 31 degrees we enjoyed in October. The location meant that there are occasionally dogs barking at night and bird scarer pops during the day but as others have noted - you get used to them. We enjoyed Cyprus and will likely return... and if we do, we'd probably choose this villa again!

Beautiful Secluded House
We were a large group of family and friends staying here before our wedding in Cyprus so it was perfect for us to all be together. The pool was amazing and the house stands out lit up at night in it’s beautiful surroundings. Anna and Kostas were great hosts and helped us find the place late at night and even took our son to the shops for essentials as we had nothing to eat or drink with us. The house had 2 residential cats which were friendly and we just fed them when required. The house is a bit of a distance to walk to town but not too far to walk to the beach and there are plenty of taxis and buses available. We did hire a car to get about and it was the perfect place to come home to and relax around the pool. There are a few houses nearby and we did hear dogs barking at night but we got used to it and imagine they are there to protect the secluded properties. Aircon wasn’t included in the price but we only needed it for a couple of the bedrooms as the house stayed pretty cool at night but might be different in hotter months. All in all it was the perfect place to stay for us and we made special memories here.

Excellent!
The owner Anna was friendly and very helpful. Our taxi couldn’t find the property and so Anna directed him to the villa. We arrived around midnight and she then drove me and my husband to an all night bakery where we could purchase some essentials for next day breakfast.
There are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs and 3 bedrooms upstairs, one of which was ensuite and also an additional bathroom. We were a party of 6 with ages ranging from 26 to 80. So, plenty of space and options for everyone.
The villa is remote so we found a car to be essential. We also used taxis when eating out which worked out around 30 euros for a return journey to the harbour for the 6 of us.
There is a private pool which was cleaned regularly and plenty of sunbeds. We spent most of our time on the patio overlooking the pool which was perfect.
We had regular visits from the local cats and Anna asked if we would mind feeding them which wasn’t a problem as they were all very tame and friendly.
We had a fantastic holiday and absolutely ideal for a large party. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Anna.
Fantastic place to stay. A little further from the city center, but if you are looking for a quiet place, this villa is the place to stay. Very close to the beach and there's a private swimming pool!

Perfect
This property was perfect for our family of 8 adults of multi generations. Downstairs rooms for the oldies, and upstairs for the rest.....
The home is out of the way (near the water park) but in farmland, and the local beach can be walked to quite easily. You would need a car to go into Paphos itself, but we always do this for exploring anyway, so wasn't an issue. The local buses are frequent and cheap though, so that could also be an option.
House was clean on arrival, and Anna was very helpful.
There are resident cats, which for us wasn't an issue; they are very friendly....
The pool and poolside area are perfect; lots of sunbeds and shade, and patio furniture is in plentiful supply, even though it could be updated as it's a little 'worn'.
All in all, we had a great time, in a great property, I would certainly recommend it if you are a large party holidaying together.

Week stay at Villa Frene Geroskipou
Wonderful accommodation, with a very friendly, helpful and communicative host. Although the beach and water park is very close a hire car is essential to get the most out of the visit. The villa is walled and gated so a hire car is safe. Security is sound with the villa alarmed when you’re out and about. I would strongly recommend and would stay again

Super friendly host!
We had a fun holiday here! Anna is so friendly and helpful! She even drove a couple of us to the nearest shop on arrival to pick up a few essentials!
The villa is a good size and had pretty much everything we needed. It is, however, a bit dated and some areas could have done with a good clean. Also, the mattresses were very uncomfortable.
We loved the pool and there was plenty of outside space. There are a few cats there which was fine, except for when they tried to take our food or they had gone to the toilet around the pool/sunbed area and we had to clean it up.
The location is both good and bad. The airport is only 10/15 minutes away and Paphos town/harbour is also a very short drive away. However, as per other comments, there are lots of dogs barking throughout the day and night, which became annoying pretty quickly! If you are a light sleeper, I would recommend taking some earplugs!

Nice villa, great location,
Villa is in a quiet location and the drive to Paphos is easy. The pool area is a nice size and there is plenty of out door space.
The appliances and furnishings in the villa are a little tired and could do with a some updating. The villa could have done with a more thorough clean as there were lots of cobwebs, dirty marks in the shower and some appliances needed to be cleaned before use.
The owners were helpful, they were really accommodating upon arrival. We had asked them if they were able to purchase pizzas for us, they were more than happy to do this and we just paid them when we got there late that night.
One thing to be aware of is that the air conditioning is an extra charge. Well worth it as it is very efficient. we were charged 5 euros per bedroom per night and 10 euros per living area per day.
There were cats that had made the villa and surroundings their home. This was not a problem , we just needed to ensure the villa doors remained shut , they didn't really bother us that much.
Overall, we had a lovely family holiday.
