About Phil and Helen

We live in England on the edge of the beautiful Chiltern Hills. It's a great place for walks and enjoying the countryside. We both work long hours so holidays are important to us. Anywhere warm will suit us, but the hotter the better (except Dubai in August, which was a bit too warm!).

Phil and Helen purchased this villa in 2007
Why Phil and Helen chose Catalkoy

We were both fortunate to travel the world with our parents when we were younger, as both sets were in the Armed Forces. One of our stays was in Cyprus where we fell in love with the island and each other!

We always dreamed of returning, so when the time was right, we decided to buy this villa. We spent a long time searching for the right property, but when we eventually found this one, it was actually just by luck. That's why we called it Serendipity, as it means 'a happy chance'. As we're both fans of Dan Brown novels we had the Serendipity name plate made up as an ambigram, so just in case you happen to be standing on your head, you can still read it! We've been fortunate to holiday at Serendipity with all our kids and parents, at some point over the years, and it's a joy.

What makes this villa unique

We absolutely love the location of our home in the sun.

The views of the mountains are just fantastic. First thing in the morning they benefit from the most amazing light. Sitting having breakfast by the pool, or on the veranda, they seem to stand out in all their glory. In the evening, as the sun sets over the sea, they bask in an orange glow that really makes you appreciate their beauty.

An hour after sunset, there's nothing better than sitting on the upstairs veranda, sipping a drink, staring up at the infinite vastness of stars above your head. Heaven!!

As Serendipity sits on the hill opposite Lara Beach, there is nearly always a glorious cooling breeze blowing from the beach, keeping the temperature at a perfect level.

Your very own private pool with crystal clear water just perfect for a refreshing dip, playing or just relaxing. At the end of the day you'll have sun-kissed shoulders, a glowing bronze tan and aphenomenal appetite.

How about spending an evening sipping a relaxing drink on the terrace whilst enjoying a BBQ, with an amazing sunset and a soft caressing breeze you won't forget in a hurry.

Start your day with a morning stroll along near deserted beaches just minutes from your front door. If that doesn't sound energetic enough for you, how about horseriding in the breathtaking natural beauty of the Cypriot countryside. Or if you prefer an adrenaline rush, paragliding off the Besparmak Mountains.

Whatever your holiday dreams you're sure to find one in the numerous

fantastic experiences that will make this a holiday to remember!

Serendipity benefits from a variety of beaches close by, ranging from busy and noisy to completely deserted, with everything in between.

Vogue Beach Centre, less than ½ mile to the west, features a large pool, restaurant and full water sports facilities, whilst Acapulco Beach Club with its restaurant, changing area, sun beds and full hotel facilities is only a further ¾ mile further on.

The famous Turtle Beach, where you can see turtles hatch from under the sand during September, is only 2 miles to the east.

Just 5 miles away is the beautiful Kyrenia Harbour with its stunning backdrop and numerous restaurants serving unforgettable local and international cuisine. To fully appreciate this setting, enter the historic Byzantine castle and venture to the top of its fortified walls. Fifteen minutes away, Bellapais Abbey sits in a beautiful traditional village setting overlooking the sea with the mountains providing an impressive backdrop.

After visiting the Abbey and soaking up the views and culture treat yourself to lunch in the Bell Tower Restaurant which is featured in the Daily Mail fine dining supplement.

For an evening meal why not take advantage of their free pickup, and return service from the villa!

The Korineum Golf course is just 5 minutes away. It is designed for golfers of all standards and ages. The Paspalum playing surface is maintained in excellent condition throughout the year, and with strategically placed bunkers and water hazards players will enjoy a true challenge.

If none of that takes your fancy, how about trying out fishing, karting, paragliding, 4x4 off-road driving, walking, waterparks, scuba diving, sailing, horse riding, paint balling. All available within a short travelling distance.

We had an excellent time and were very impressed with the villa both inside and out. The pool was a blessing and was kept clean regularly by the poolman. Everything seems to have been thought of by the owners with lots of information provided, entertainment in the villa (lots of music and films) etc. The area was reasonably quiet yet we were close to the main road that runs along the coast, allowing easy access to beaches, shops, restaurants etc. I would recommend Serendipity to family and friends and I am sure they would enjoy it as much as we did.

Well, where do I start......my stay at Serendipity was excellent......from the minute we arrived to the sad moment we had to leave.....Phil & Helen have thought of everything, that one may require while on holiday. We had the most wonderful evenings sitting under the stars enjoying our alfresco barbecue meals, listening to the birds, it was so, so peaceful, just the type of place to relax and chill out. I am already thinking of next year and coming back to to Serendipity......to be honest I can't wait...........thank you both for making my first villa based holiday such a wonderful experience.....Thanks to Sue, who was very kind and helpful......during our stay as well.....I thoroughly, recommend Serendipity, to anyone who is looking for a very calm, clean and relaxed environment to spend some quality time.........thanks again.....the swimming pool was a godsend in the hot weather, just what I would expect, but without having to share it with anybody else. :) the choice of music/film was across the board.... :) definitely 5*
Owner's Response: Raj
Thanks for your comments. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay.
We had a full moon during our last stay and sitting on the veranda at night with bright light and shadows all around was fantastic.
We'd love to see you again at Serendipity.

Delightful Holiday Villa in N Cyprus

  • Submitted: Feb 14, 2012
  • Stayed: Sep 2011
Our holiday at Serendipity was everything we had hoped for and more. The villa is spacious, well equipped, clean and beautifully furnished and in a great location for exploring the area. It was very hot during our stay so it was great to be able to dip in the large swimming pool but we also loved the local little beach – just a 10-minute walk away. We welcomed the extra thoughtful touches - books, dvds, maps and having a mobile phone to contact local restaurants etc). We found the owners' handbook that provided extensive local knowledge and information very helpful. There is a large range of shops and good restaurants nearby. We had a very comfortable, enjoyable and restful stay and would be happy to recommend the villa. We shall return again soon.
Owner's Response: It's great to see so many of our guests enjoy the pool.
We're also lucky that people leave leaflets and business cards from their favourite restaurants, which gives others the chance to benefit from the experience.

Beautiful location!

I have to say the photographs of Serendipity don't do it justice. The location is awesome! The views over olive groves and fields to the mountains is a joy. Whilst to the front you get views along the coast towards Kyrenia.
The choice of beaches is great, with some great beach clubs along the coast, which the teenagers loved, as well as some deserted beaches towards Karpas for us! Having said that the local beach is great to pop down to for a club sandwich and a swim at lunchtime.
All in all we had a fantastic time either just relaxing round the pool or visiting the local sights (including the baby turtles hatching at Algadi Beach).
The hire car and transfers were all arranged for us, so all we had to do was turn up and enjoy!
Owner's Response: The location is amazing isn't it! When we're at Serendipity I can't quite believe the views sometimes. Either in the morning, having breakfast by the pool, when the sun is low, or in the evening the when the sun sets, the mountains really do glow. Fantastic!

Excellent Villa in great location

  • Submitted: Feb 10, 2012
  • Stayed: Jul 2010
This was the first time we have stayed at the villa, but I am sure it won't be the last. The location of the villa is superb, close enough to Kyrenia for a great choice of shops and restaurants, but far enough away to be quite and relaxed. Inside the villa is finished to a good standard and is very nicely laid out and equipped. We particularly liked the fact it had 3 bathrooms, which made getting ready to go out easier. We were there in the height of the summer so were very pleased to have air-conditioning as well as our own pool to cool off in. There is also a built in barbeque which we used most evenings if we were not eating at one of the local restaurants. There is also a very nice beach within a 10 minute walk and lots of interesting places to visit only a short drive away. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, the mobile phone was a nice touch and was very helpful to us on many occasions. There was also a local agent who was always happy to help us with any queries we had. We have recommended the villa to friends who loved it, and we can wholeheartedly recommend it to you.
Owner's Response: The BBQ certainly gets lots of use!
What's great is that our guests always seem to leave enough charcoal for the people who stay after them too, which is great.
The phone is very handy, especially for ringing the Abbey Bell Tower and getting them to pick you up for free!
