About Rachel Richards
We are Tim and Rachel Richards. We live in Cornwall with our two children where we run our own business which keeps us very busy for most of the year and especially over the summer months. Hence by October every year we are more then ready for a relaxing holiday in the sun. Having tried other places it was in Cyprus that we felt truly relaxed - it has something for all the family and the people are so friendly and welcoming. So in 2010 we took the plunge and bought our own house there. As we cannot be there as much as we would like we want other people have a slice of the sun. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Rachel Richards purchased this House in 2010
Why Rachel Richards chose Peyia
Peyia is a great base for your holiday in Cyprus. Only a 30 minute drive from Paphos airport, it gives you easy access to beaches, shopping, antiquities, walking, eating - in fact anything you could want from your holiday. The traditional village of Peyia is a 10 minute walk from the house and is a proper village not a tourist resort with all the facilities that you could need. 5 minutes drive away is Coral Bay which offers bars and restaurants galore and lovely beaches. Paphos itself is great for shopping, eating and strolling and 15 minutes further along is the fantastic Akamas Peninsula. Also within 10-15 minutes are fantastic forest trails in the hills for all levels of walkers. Not forgetting the antiquities and history that is everywhere you look in Cyprus! And sunshine!

Lovely house and amazing views.
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. The views are spectacular from both terraces. There was a welcome pack with bread, butter, milk etc.which was very handy. There was everything we needed inside the house. The site is clean and tidy with a lovely pool with plenty of sun beds. A car is needled to make the most of Peyia and surrounding areas. There isn’t internet in the house but all the bars and restaurants close by give free WiFi access.
Exceptable
Nice property bit out the way compared to usual.Clean but not to my standard.I know theirs tv problems but we werent informed b4 we went No tv or internet or wifi for 2wks
Location,excellent. Pool a welcome relief!
We were very happy with the locationduring our visit to this area. The house was well equipped.We had good communication with the owner who was very helpful. I would reccomend this property. Locally we could walk to some tavernas for food and drinks also a few small supermarkets for supplies. We would gladly go back here again. Visiting turtle beach was a highlight and the beautiful places to swim. Thank you
Location
Special interest holidays:
Cyprus offers a wide variety of holidays. The Akamas peninsula and Lara Bay is a nature reserve which is one of the few places in the world where turtles can be observed coming onto land to lay their eggs.
Walking is a very popular pursuit in the area with a good network of paths both around the coast and in the pine clad hills. There is plenty of flora and fauna to be seen including the moufflon which is only found in Cyprus.
Sports both on and in the water are readily available. Boat trips and diving excursions can be arranged from various venues.
History and antiquities can be found everywhere - Pafos archaelogical park and The Tombs of the Kings are fascinating. Many churches and monastries are open to the public with their brightly painted icons.
Coast/Beach:
Coral Bay is a 5 minute drive from Peyia. The main beach here offers free parking, a selection of bars/restaurants, sunbeds and watersports such as paragliding and banana boats. It is a safe, sandy, Blue flag beach which is lifeguard patrolled and great for children - go lizard hunting in the rocks!
Further along is Corallia Beach - this is smaller but still has a bar/shop and sunbeds. This beach is surronded by rocks and has shallow clear water which is great for kids to snorkel in.
Travel:
Paphos airport is 30 minutes away. Larnaca airport is about 1.5 to 2 hours away. Paphos airport is well served by both main and regional airports throughout the UK. Easyjet and the likes of Thomson have numerous flights. Car hire is highly recommended to take full advantage of you holiday although the bus service between Coral Bay, Paphos and the airport are good and taxis are readily available.
Distances:
Peyia 10 minute walk. Coral Bay 5 minute drive. Paphos 20 minute drive. Akamas Peninsula - 20 minute drive.
