Traditional Character House in unspoilt Cyprus village, sea views, private pool

The Cobblers – A Unique and Timeless Retreat
Once the village cobbler’s house, The Cobblers is a spacious, traditional home that perfectly combines old-world charm with modern comforts to cater to the sophisticated traveler. Highlights include FREE Wi-Fi, a PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL, SEA VIEWS, a newly renovated luxury bathroom, and convenient UK-style plug points.

A Historical Haven
Dating back over 200 years, this remarkable house is built on three sides around a private, stone-paved courtyard. The courtyard connects the wings of the home and features stunning Mediterranean plants, a swimming pool, and a majestic ancient olive tree that offers welcome shade during the summer months.

Design & Artistic Flair
The Cobblers is the home of London fashion designer Marguerite Hannah, whose creative vision has infused every corner of the house with elegance and artistry. Handpicked art and objects enhance the tranquil atmosphere, making it a truly special and serene getaway.

Outdoor Luxury
Furnished Sun Deck: Enjoy sea views and sunsets while sipping a glass of wine.

Private Swimming Pool: Relax by the pool, surrounded by ample sun beds and a stone patio area.

Gardens: Explore peaceful corners of the garden, adorned with vibrant Mediterranean plants and flowers in terracotta pots.

Comfortable & Spacious Living
Bedrooms:

1 Double Bedroom: Located across the courtyard, complete with its own en-suite shower room.

1 Twin Bedroom & 1 Family Room: Situated in another wing, sharing a luxurious family bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Kitchen & Dining: A large, fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining area comfortably seat six guests.

Living Spaces:

First floor features a double-sized lounge with air conditioning and two distinct areas:

TV Room: Includes a DVD player, a video library, and HDMI cables for connecting your own devices.

Reading Lounge: Cozy armchairs and a wood-burning stove create the perfect ambiance for romantic winter evenings.

Ground level offers a quiet room with air conditioning and a collection of books for peaceful moments.

Practical & Convenient
Parking: Ample space for vehicles on the adjoining land.

Car Hire: A car is highly recommended to make the most of your stay; rental options are affordable in Cyprus.

Children: Small children will need supervision due to the stone steps and terraces in the garden.

Location & Surroundings
The Cobblers is located in Maroni, a charming and traditional village perfectly situated within an hour’s drive of Larnaca, Limassol, and Nicosia.

Maroni offers a local supermarket and a delightful coffee shop/bar run by an English owner, where you can enjoy cocktails and light snacks just a few steps from the house.

The fishing village of Zygi, a 10-minute drive away, boasts an array of seafood restaurants.

The nearest beach is just a five-minute drive (about a mile away).

Spacious villa with great hodtd

Our stay at the cobblers was excellent. We had a few more questions than normal as we had an 18 month old travelling with is. Allan answered all of our questions quickly and helpfully. The welcome basket was much appreciated as we landed late at night. Maroni is a great spot which is quiet, but near to both Larnaca and limmassol

A happy stay at Cyprus

We stayed at the house for a week with our complete family, including two boys and spouse. The layout of the house was perfect for such a stay, since it was possible two stay in 3 separate rooms. We all enjoyed the stay including the use of the pool.

Amazing, gorgeous and pure relaxation!

Not only is Maroni the perfect village near the sea but the Cobblers House was pure pleasure. From sitting under the ancient olive tree, a dip in the pool or on the viewing deck overlooking the sea and village! Best family vacation ever and will definitely go back and refer to others!

Far from the madding crowd....

We had a wonderfully relaxing time at The Cobblers. The house is spacious and characterful, set around an attractive courtyard on different levels with a number of seating areas to relax, eat or lie by the pool - the rooftop terrace with its welcome breeze was a favourite spot! Maroni village is quiet and unspoilt, with easy access to a number of beaches, an interesting Neolithic site (if you like ruins), also a fascinating bee and embroidery museum and a family-run restaurant with delicious and authentic Greek fare, all to be found at/near the village of Lefkara. We loved our stay and would thoroughly recommend this charming house if you can manage different levels (probably not ideal for the very elderly or very young).

Peaceful house in great village

We were a family of 6 adults staying for 8 days at Cobblers. Everything was as described, plenty of room for us all to holiday without tripping over each other. Pool was great at the end of a day sightseeing and we loved the view from the terrace! Costas helped with great check in and out. We loved the quiet village and proximity to everything. You must visit Lenias tavern in nearby Psematismenos for great local food. Thank you for a great family holiday!

Charming Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at Cobblers, a unique property where every room opens onto the lovely courtyard with an olive tree in the middle to shade under in the heat of the day. The pool is a nice size even if it looks a little small in the pictures it’s actually about 1.5m deep and big enough to swim short lengths. The sun terrace was enjoyable as the shade and cool breeze made for a comfortable place to sit even in the middle of the day. Maroni beach just about 5 minutes in the car has a few sunbeds and a small cafe but still small enough to not feel overwhelmed with tourists, I think most users were local. And keeping it local anyone staying at Cobblers should visit The Piazza local restaurant just a short walk away from the cottage where we had the best meal in Cyprus for value and quality. The mezze we shared was the most food I’ve ever seen presented to me with many tasty courses, and the night we ate there live music played on the stage. All of us want to return as we enjoyed our time in Cyprus at Cobblers so much.

Beautiful sunny haven in picturesque village

From the magical moment of opening the arched door at 11pm this house won us! It has charm and ambience in abundance: the wonderful ancient olive tree and the many beautiful plants, the medieval-looking wooden balconies, and the quiet atmosphere. We found space in the house for everyone to find a quiet sunny nook, and for everyone to sit together for meals and enjoy the pool. Thank you Alan we'd love to come again.

Safe, private environment for all the family.

The villa is exactly as described and the photos show the facilities accurately. We were a family ranging in age from 4 to 75 and we all had a great time. We were self catering and were able to find everything we needed in the villa. The local market around the corner was handy for basics like eggs milk and bread, however a more substantial shop could be done at the supermarket about 20 mins away . We ate out twice at the taverna in Maroni and in Tochni. Both venues were reasonably priced and served ample portions. Our time at the villa was great fun. The pool was used extensively and those needing shade were always able to find some. We were met by Costa, the venue manager who was easily contactable if we needed him which was seldom. The way the villa surrounds the courtyard and pool provides a safe private environment in which to relax and enjoy oneself. My family had a fabulous holiday and would highly recommend.

Magnificent Maroni villa

Our stay at the Cobblers was perfect. The space combines old world charm with modern conveniences. You enter the home through a low entryway at the bottom of a stone street. Immediately, you will see the lovely landscaped garden and pool area. Our family (2 adults, 10 year old & 5 year old girls) found it so serene to spend our days under the umbrella by the pool. The master bedroom and bedroom with two single beds are located in one part of the home, separated by a full bath. A separate entrance welcomes you into the third bedroom where you will find an en-suite full bath, and a laundry closet. All bedrooms were generous in size and have air con. The entire home has air con except for the bathrooms and kitchen. While I would prefer it everywhere (I am American after all), the area has cooler temperatures in the evening making cooking or showering tolerable. Upstairs from the main entryway and kitchen is a spacious sitting room. Directly above that is my favorite part of the house, a terrace overlooking Maroni village with views of the sea. I found it to be the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail and watch the sunset. There is also a second sitting room between the entryway and the main bedrooms. Everywhere you turn, there are places to discover in this villa and everyone felt that they had privacy and plenty of personal space. We have been to Maroni many times as my husband’s grandparents are from the village, but this trip was extra special with the accommodations!

Lovely quirky property

The Cobblers is certainly a unique holiday stay. It's very old and characterful, and all the rooms are accessed from either the external staircase or the multi-levelled courtyard. Although there are three bedrooms, it's best suited for a couple who want to chill out amongst all the peaceful quirkiness. We wouldn't recommend the house for the very tall (low doorframes), very young (many, many steps) or those with mobility issues. There's air-con throughout, although cooling breezes keep the heat at bay without wasting electricity. There are plenty of sun loungers for following the sun around the pool. The kitchen is adequately equipped and there's a pleasant dining area with windows onto the very quiet street. Our favourite part of the house was the top floor, with a TV lounge that's perfect for catching up with Netflix (bring your own Roku-type dongle) and a comfortable snug for reading. There's the usual overpriced, understocked minimarket in the village, so shopping for provisions is best done at the Alphamega hypermarket near the turn off from the A1 onto the B1. The allegedly excellent Old Coffee Shop, a street or two from The Cobblers, has closed, so village eateries are limited to Lenia's Taverna (actually in Psematismenos) and the Piazza Maroni. The latter is a huge space with plastic tables and chairs, large TVs and, horror of horrors, a children's bouncy castle, and the kitchen serves family-friendly food, with indiscriminate use of a deep-fat fryer. Lenia's is far better for couples, with warm service and authentic Cypriot dishes, but the emphasis is similarly meaty. The best local restaurant is Tochni Tavern, just a few km away, that embraces the breadth of Greek cuisine, with ample vegetarian and pescatarian options. There's also the friendly Nostos Taverna, opposite the church in Tochni, that's popular at weekends. The nearby marina of Zygi has a handful of seafood tavernas, but most were closed when we visited, and it generally seemed run down. We also ate in Kalavasos, a village close to Tochni, where the Retro Tavern and George's Tavern take over the village with their al fresco dining. The food at both is reasonable, but service is slow and vegetarian dishes are limited. Much of the time, we ate in and simply enjoyed soaking up the sun around the pool. Our criticisms are few: the directions to the house require updating, there were login issues with the TV box, and we thought basic housekeeping should be inclusive.

Ein paradiesischer Innenhof zum Entspannen

Das Haus ist ein Traum! Wir waren mit drei erwachsenen Söhnen in diesem Anwesen, das keine Wünsche offen ließ.

Die ganze Einrichtung ist über komplet. Alles ist da und funktioniert. Der Garten im Innenhof sehr gepflegt. Der Pool sauber. Mit Leihauto keine 5 Minuten zum Strand und ein wunderschönes Kirchlein in der direkten Nachbarschaft. Ideal auch für ein Läufchen zum Morgenstart. Sehr ruhig, kein Verkehr. In Summe: Ein kleines Paradies! Costa der Hausbesorger ist sehr umsichtig und Alan der Besitzer äußerst freundlich. Ein großes Danke!!
