Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Casale Panayiotis comprises 43 rooms set in eight aesthetically restored traditional stone cottages (many with original wooden balconies) located across the village. The rooms sport typical Cypriot textiles, original stone walls, comfortable rustic-style furniture, tasteful artwork and an overall feeling of unostentatious luxury with a solid Cypriot feel.”

Telegraph review:

“The restoration of a handful of stone cottages into a luxurious spa retreat doesn’t get much better than this. Add a location in the verdant Marathasa Valley and the owners’ commitment to preserving local culture, and a stay here provides an appealing slice of Cypriot life.”

All you need to know

Experience the essence of rural living in Cyprus via a premier hotel, spa, and retreat resort: traverse the picturesque trails, rejuvenate in the award-winning spa, and savor local culinary delights.

John Papadouris, after spending numerous years overseas, decided to return to his cherished yet forgotten childhood hamlet, Kalopanayiotis, situated in the Troodos mountains of Cyprus. His mission was to spearhead a renovation initiative to conserve the unique mountain culture and lifestyle. His starting point was Casale Panayiotis.

Located delicately in the Marathasa Valley, resting on the Troodos Mountains’ foothills, Casale Panayiotis is a cluster of antique residences that seamlessly blend modern comfort with traditional aesthetics. The resort boasts of a spa center and chic rooms offering views of the courtyard or the mountain ranges.

With 41 guest rooms distributed across seven houses throughout the village, supplemented by cafes and restaurants, the local residents found motivation to invest in their community. They started refurbishing their abodes and launching small-scale businesses, thereby preserving our priceless mountain culture and lifestyle.

The guestrooms, each uniquely adorned with handcrafted Cypriot materials, are equipped with heating and air conditioning facilities. They feature a flat-screen smart TV, a safe box, a minibar, and a coffee maker. Complimentary toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, and a hairdryer are also provided.

Expensive but good

Nice place with wonderful views. Good spa and massage

We saw ads of the Loutraki restaurant on TV in our rooms, made a reservation, received email confirmation. And when we came there it was CLOSED. Very disappointed. It spoiled our wedding anniversary.

A unique must-have experience

It was not my first stay at Casale Panayiotis, and I will definitely come again. I love so many things about this place; the serene little village, the nature trails, the old stone houses, the exquisite design of the rooms, the cleanliness, spaciousness, comfort! The Bysantino restaurant at the hotel serves great food, and breakfast is good too. Every time I make sure to visit the spa which has very talented massage therapists. So many little details make you fall in love with the place. On top of everything, the hotel is pet friendly and neuters local cats.

I say it as a true fan and hope you can fix these tiny shortcomings easily. The bathroom in our room didn’t lock, same problem at the spa. They forgot to put signature blue cushions on the armchairs on our balcony. The balcony plants need to be watered. And last but not least, I hope you continue spaying cats, as there were quite a few without ear tips. Otherwise, great job!

Very good

It's worth staying here for sure. There is a good aroma massage and sauna in the spa. And a nice walking trail.

I liked the Spa, though they were understaffed and I was not encouraged via the booking.com app to book in advance, that

Service and staff were both features that really stood out at this hotel. The attention to detail, explanations, support, friendliness and the shared areas of the hotel were all excellently appointed and well managed.

The quality the food was very disappointing. We had one lunch there and did not bother to try dinner. It was a pity because the site for the restaurant and terrace is stunning… The filo with cheese with hideous balsamic fig reduction was poor and the soufflé did not warrant the name, being more like the slab of rubbery egg you might be served in an aeroplane on a long haul flight. Dips were also disappointing.

Something rather special, but that still needs a little work

Ethos - something really special. Staff - all were fabulous. Setting - beautiful. Rooms - well proportioned and stocked. Food - authentic and excellent. Service standards outstanding. Spa - world class.

Privacy in rooms - many rooms have windows directly onto walkways. As solo female traveller, this was not comfortable. No proper curtains...even with shutters, proper darkness could not be achieved. Lift to upper village - this needs to operate 7am to midnight every day. Better selection of gin required! Bar staff need to be taught how to make a Pimms - mine arrived with no mixer! Breakfast - mediocre - no varietal changes day by day. Lastly - there needs to be a) a pool - at this level / quality of hotel, an outdoor pool is a given. I just assumed there would be one b) an area (around the pool) with sunbeds. More effort with 'green' policies - eg not using plastic straws with drinks

We had wonderful time, enjoyed the hotel + surrounding.

Picturesque village, set in beautiful landscape, private rooms, nice staff, good breakfast.

Stairs were little difficult, no guided tours available, tv didn’t work half of the time. In such isolated place screening movies would be recommended.

Excellent concept and well designed rooms with authentic village feel. Limited but good food choices for vegetarians. Very friendly staff. Excellent spa.

Breakfast could have better choices for vegetarians. The sofa bed was not great. Could be better quality.

Fabulous

Great location, breakfast food and service outstanding, lots of fun things to do and see in the immediate area. The winery and the monastery are must see's. Lots of hiking trails and plenty of opportunities to visit Unesco world heritage churches nearby...

Front desk service not as strong as the service in restaurants; not sure why the hotel charges for spa facilities? But overall great experience!

An excellent option for a short trip to the mountains for relaxation and a change of scenery. The room was very cozy, clean, I especially liked the fireplace. The staff is marvelous professional and helpful.

Small notes: Very small robes in the room, glass partitions by the fireplace weren't clean enough. Overall quite boring in the village.

Different and charming stay in this character hotel spread around the village

The charm of the old properties, the village, the loutrakia restraurant , the spa… pretty much everything! Really nice waiter at loutrakia from Trakya/thrace. Extremely friendly and professional.

Nothing really. Not good for people with walking issues but did t affect us
