Pre booking we had some concerns about making payment direct and not via PayPal or the website but we experienced no problems with payments confirmed and our “breakage” deposit returned promptly. Angela the property manager visited us the day after we arrived and went through details on the villa and area, several times throughout our stay Angela was very helpful. The property was well maintained as per the description on the website, the pool area is very spacious with the benefit of a BBQ and the pool cleaned several times during our 2 week stay.The villa is located in a quiet village so very peaceful, within a 5 minute drive there is a restaurant, bakers, butchers, “Smart” supermarket and banks. The property is 15 minutes drive from Larnaca and the airport. Recommend staying at this villa.

William Seed is a lovely villa. we booked directly through Angela and paid by bank Transfer, with no problems. The villa was spotless on arrival. Having a car is essential. We had exceptionally hot weather for May, so we found the large swimming pool fantastic. Also the drinking water chiller in the Villa was wonderful Bonus.
As we had a late flight home Angela allowed us to stay in the villa passed the departure time, which we really appreciated.
Thank you again

From start to finish the whole process was so simple and smooth. From the first contact with Angela Parouti she agreed a reasonable price for my stay and sent her bank details to pay for the deposit. A bit sceptical but paid part of the money. A situation arose where we couldn't travel unfortunately, and she refunded the money in full within a couple of days on providing proof of our unfortunate circumstances. I then made new travel plans and of course went back to the company I trusted and Angela once again gave me undivided service throughout. I paid all the money directly to Angela bank account and she was reliable and contactable throughout our stay. The William seed villa was beautiful and well decorated and maintained. We enjoyed over 2 weeks of the villa and was sorry to leave. There where 2 points that where slightly annoying. Air-conditioning is set at a temperature and on a timer and can't be altered (very common in Cyprus as electricity is expensive.) Tv doesn't work like regular TV, but despite it hardly affected our stay. We left the villa clean and tidy and received the security deposit back within less than 48 hours of leaving the villa. All round amazing experience honest agent and good management company. I would highly recommend and have already recommended as what you see is what you get. 5****

Dear Saul,
Thank you for your review of Williams - Seed Villa, your feedback to us is very valuable. We are very happy to read that your holiday here was so enjoyable and that Angela was so helpful and available - this is why we chose her to manage our villa! Thank you for highlighting that you paid by bank transfer, this is an important point because there are some scams around but we are 100% trustworthy as you now know!
Regarding your 2 slightly negative points, most guests bring their own devices such as fire sticks and media devices which is why we provide a HDMI cable - you will know what to bring next time you come! The air conditioning is set to a healthy temperature to avoid illnesses as the outside temperatures are so different which can cause bad colds etc and ruin your holiday.
We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.
Best regards from the Villa Owners and Angela the Property Manager
Second time around was just as good

This is our second experience with HomePride and Angela and it did not disappoint. On this visit we stayed in a different villa the Williams Seed villa (3 kids and 5 adults). We throughly enjoyed the pool and made total use of the fully equipted kitchen. We had such a good time we didn't even turn on the TV. The wifi was fully utilized (by the kids of course!) however, we couldnt use the streamer we brought along as the signal wasn't strong enough - which wasn't a big deal. Other residents had left behind a nice assortment of easy reading novels and we added to the collection. The only negative was it was very hot at times- and this is minor issue but the downstairs airconditioners are really not powerful enough to cool that size of open plan kitche/lounge area. On many occassions we were melting with no way to change the theromast from it's 24 degree setting.
Angela as usual was a pleasure to deal with - before our trip and obviously during the trip she was at hand and always willing and helpful.
Alethriko has a special place in my familes heart and we are definately coming back for a third visit.

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your great review of Williams - Seed Villa. It's great to read that you enjoyed your stay and it was as good 2nd time around here in Alethriko and also that Angela was as helpful as ever! Thanks for the feedback on the wifi - as technology moves on it seems like we need to increase the speed of the wifi to accommodate streaming etc - this will be done ready for your next visit!
Cyprus in August is very hot and during your stay it was actually hotter than normal so yes the air con is well needed. We have not had any other negative comments about the downstairs air con so maybe that was just due to the heat wave during your stay but we will monitor that......thanks for your feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.
Kind regards to you and your family from the Villa Owners and Angela Parouti the Property Manager.

On arrival, we were extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the villa. Very high standard. There was nothing missing, fully equipped kitchen, an iron, a hairdryer, even a frappe machine! Pool area was fantastic! The whole service from owners direct was very professional, from the smooth payment instructions, to the directions to the villa and the collection of the key. All explained step by step.
The manager, Angela was very helpful, even supplying us with fresh figs! We found a very helpful folder with lots of tips and suggestions, and a great map. Overall, we had a fab time, will definitely be using owners direct every time we book a villa.

The villa was in a really good location and was easy to travel to Larnaca, Limassol and Nicosia. Local supermarket and bakery within 10 minutes with a car.
The villa was clean and was well equipped. Angela, manager of the property, had provided clear and concise directions to get there from the airport and was helpful and responsive to queries. Payment by bank transfer was straight forward .
A really enjoyable holiday

Nearby attractions include:- Just 5 minutes drive away is the recently opened Olympic standard shooting range in Klavdia, (hosts to the European Championship Shotgun event which is run by the European Shooting Confederation), Lefkara, a traditional lace making village, Mazatos Animal Park, Ten Pin Bowling, Cinema and Go karting........something for every body.
Coast/Beach:
Larnaca town has several sandy beaches with sun beds, umbrellas, water sports, scuba diving, snack bars and restaurants. Other quiet beaches which are ideal for a picnic are 10 mins drive and the famous golden sands of Ayia Napa and Protaras are 40-50 mins drive. A great central location for exploring.
Travel:
15km to Larnaca International Airport (15 minutes drive). 1 hour 15 minutes drive to Paphos International Airport.
We would like to advise our guests that we consider car hire to be essential - the good news is that in Cyprus they also drive on the left! Competitive car hire can be recommended on booking.
Distances:
The beauty of Alethriko is that while the village is so tranquil and idyllic, it is only a 2 minute drive to the main motorway and centrally placed on the island so anyone wanting to explore the many things Cyprus has to offer can do so with ease. Larnaca 15 mins, Larnaca Airport 15 mins, Nicosia 40 mins, Limassol 25 mins, Ayia Napa 40 mins, Paphos 1 hr 15 minutes, Troodos Mountains 1 hour.
Further Details:
Larnaca is a very cosmopolitan town offering everything you need for a fantastic holiday. It is often unappreciated by those who don’t know any better, who think it is merely home for the islands' main International Airport. Larnaca boasts a beautiful promenade lined with palm trees and pavement cafes, a marina full of multi-million pound yachts and boats, boat trips, world-wide cuisine, great shopping (Zara and Mango are here!), sandy beaches, water sports, good nightlife, history, culture and tradition. In addition to all of the things Larnaca its self has to offer it is perfectly placed on the island making it an ideal base from which to explore the rest of the island.
Williams-Seed Villa is 1km from the centre of Alethriko village and just a short walk to the nearest taverna-12 EUR for a traditional Meze (dips, grilled halloumi cheese, mix of grilled meats, salad, potatoes and fruit). Lots of other tavernas within 15 minutes' drive to nearby villages or a 15 minute drive can take you down the coast to Zygi or Makenzie for a fabulous fish meze.You are spoilt for choice and certainly won't go hungry!
There is a good supermarket in the village, and other larger ones 10 minutes' drive away in the next village. Larger supermarkets like Carrefour 15 minutes' drive away in Larnaca.
To enable you to start your holiday from the minute you arrive, a grocery welcome pack is available by arrangement. List the items of your choice i.e. water, milk, bread, butter, cereal, fruit, eggs, fruit juice, tea, coffee, beer, wine etc. and they will be in the villa waiting for you. Your holiday can start from the minute you arrive!
Our property manager, (Angela), who is English and lives nearby will meet you at the villa on your arrival to welcome you and to hand over keys and show you around the villa. Should you require any assistance/advice during your stay Angela will be more than happy to help. Maps and guide books are provided in the villa.
