This property may be fine in the summer, but in the winter it is simply not fit for purpose, and should never be advertised for holiday lets. We had booked a 'family apartment' advertised as having one double and two single beds. The apartment had just one bedroom, but the kitchen/dining room had a single bed in it, and a sofa. This was not as advertised. Also the apartment had no heating, and was extremely cold during the one night we spent there. The water for my shower was also cold. The shower tray was stained brown. I don't know if this was dirt, or just a deposit from the water, but it was most unattractive. There was no 'airport transfer' service as advertised on the website. Also, it was stated that 'front desk staff will greet guests on arrival'. Despite arriving on time by taxi, the front was closed and nobody appeared. Eventually someone responded when the taxi driver rang the number shown outside the office. In addition to the shortcomings of the apartment, which was the coldest, most sparsely furnished and least comfortable I have ever seen, the village was absolutely dead: no cafes, no restaurants open, and no signs of life at all. These apartments are quite unsuitable out of season, but this was never made clear on the website.

Our stay was pleasant because of the nice patio area. Peaceful and quiet. The kitchen was a bit lacking in supplies - only one pot as an example. No toiletries either. Although we arranged ahead of time for arrival around 9 pm and we’re told there would be someone at the reception area, there was no one and no sign of where to go. A neighbor assisted us by calling the receptionist’s unit. Not good when we were already tired from long, long travel.

Real experience in traditional village house
Simple but good breakfast (enjoied local Cyprus sausages). Good swmming pool for kids. Good wifi connection. Friendly and helpful staff.It is good value for money. Unfortunately the shower hose was leaky and cats noise in the middle of the night interrupted kids' sleep but amazing experience with authentic village house.

Relaxation Heaven
Lovely place to stay, very authentic and peaceful very in touch with old fashioned traditions. Unfortunately only negative was other amenities very limited - one local taverna (not even opened during our visit) local supermarket and garage nearby as well as a McDonalds - not what l desire after a 5hr flight or when l'm on holiday looking to embrace local Greek culture

Authentic and peaceful location
The check in procedure was random at best. This place is within 5 minutes of the motorway but in such a beautiful location it could be on a million miles away. Skarinou is a gorgeous authentic Cypriot village and the complex fits in perfectly. The pool is small and not so well kept and with twenty or so 'houses' you get the feeling of being on top of one another. Having said that I am sure that we will use Skarinou again. It is good value for money.

This is a great place for couples and adults.
A small collection of apartments grouped around an enclosed courtyard. Really nice renovation and in the heart of the village - this is NOT a holiday complex or a fully serviced hotel or B&B but a tastefully restored group of traditional buildings - as in the title ! There is a small restaurant 200M across the road which is modern, friendly and inexpensive serving traditional food. The big tourist centres are all about 40 mins by motorway but there are some small local beaches within 10 minutes drive. There is a large supermarket 10 mins drive away open 7 days a week until 9pm - everything you need is there We had a fantastic 10 days here and enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of this small village and would recommend this to anyone who wants self catering, simple accommodation.

Perfect closure
It was the last of our few accommodations in Cyprus and I must say it put a perfect closure to our vacation and left us with sweet memory of this beautiful country and people. The good information provided by the house manager Ah Hao and the great hospitality displayed and wonderful local cuisine served by the Tavern owner Andreas has made us feel very much at home. The hotel is conveniently situated near a supermarket and McDonald's at the entrance/exit to A1 highway. The village is quiet and pretty. There is also a Donkey farm which is about 10 min drive away from the hotel. Though I think it was not open to public on that day of our impromptu visit, the farm still gave us a good guided tour introducing the tradition and farming culture of Cypriots. We had a good time learning and being amazed by the various products made of donkey milk. It will help that the lighting in the house to be made brighter.

Perfection
The Traditional house was spotless, cleaned twice a week, and the staff most helpful and kind. Karinou is a delight, and all the local people welcoming. One gave us a bunch of his grapes and brought us eggs. Everyone spoke and we felt at home. 2 excellent restaurants, one 5-star rated. Excellent small shop and supermarket in the village. Where else could you get T-bone steak for £6 per kilo? Yes, £6.

perfectly relaxing!
lovely place - very relaxing, very pretty and lovely staff - very discrete and quiet. The pool was extremely clean and the room was full of character. The accommodation is in a small village and you really need a car to explore but I would thoroughly recommend it - there is also a very nice local taverna which serves good food.

We.had a fantastic time. The location was excellent to.hit any part of the island. Our cleaner was especially friendly, with everything spotless, she deserves a pay rise. The taverna opposite was brilliant serving excellent local meals. 10/10.

Traditional village life in Cyprus
Made to feel welcome as a village resident, with the Taverna at Skarinou offering good local food, at good prices, and always with a warm welcome. The local supermarket (carrying lots of Tesco products) is now up and running, and you are close to the main motorway system.

Unique Experience in a Perfect Location
This place gave us the chance to experience Cyprus beyond a tourist's perspective. We stayed in a beautiful and quiet stone house in the center of the village of Skarinou, waking up to the sound of birds & having breakfast at our grape terrace every morning, with amazing local food. Apart from the Mediterranean magic, Skarinou is a perfect location to explore all parts of Cyprus, and to go back to every night. Only 20 minutes by car to Larnaca airport, 10 minutes to the amazing Governor's Beach or historic Lefkara, half hour to Limassol, Nicosia, 1 hour to Paphos, Agia Napa or the mountains. Great big supermarket in town, right off the highway. No question we'll be staying at the Traditional Village Houses of Skarinou next time, and we look forward to this very soon! And thank you Maria & staff for the warm welcome and for taking care of every detail. Efharisto!

Volevamo provare l'esperienza di un villaggio tradizionale. Bello e suggestivo, spartano, non adatto a chi vuole il comfort assoluto. Le camere a volte hanno bisogno di manutenzione: il lavandino nei bagni non scaricava bene, le serrature faticavano a chiudere ma nel complesso ci siamo trovati bene
