Paphos, Peyia, Cyprus

Set on the hillside above Coral Bay, this three-bedroom villa has its own pool and roughly five minutes' drive between it and both the beach and Peyia village, with the Akamas peninsula stretching out beyond.

The house gives you 145 m² across two floors. Downstairs the living room is generous and full of character, with stone arches, a fireplace and a dining area that opens through to the fitted kitchen, and there is a guest WC off the hall. The three bedrooms are upstairs along with two bathrooms, and the master has its own balcony looking out to sea.

Outdoors is where the villa earns its keep. A 19 m² covered veranda and a 25 m² open terrace step down to the pool and its sun loungers, and there is a shaded seating area, a pergola in one corner of the garden and a separate terrace for eating outside. The plot runs to 480 m² and mature hedging keeps it private.

Air conditioning and central heating radiators are in place, and the villa is sold fully furnished and equipped. It was built in 2007 and holds a clean title deed issued in 2018, with covered parking and a storage room. The price is €490,000, with no VAT as a resale, only transfer fees. It has been used as a holiday rental in the past, which makes it as workable as an investment as it is a holiday home.
