Expert reviews
“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.”
“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.

Incredible view! Authentic style!

A beautiful and calming experience!
It’s a stunning place to stay, nestled into the bottom of the mountains. The series of apartments are beautifully renovated while keeping to the traditional look and feel of the exteriors. The views of the valley are beautiful. Lots to explore over a couple of days. The spa was a lovely little treat (especially the snow cabin!)

Really great breakfast at the hotel with a lot of choices The spa was fantastic and really great value at 30 euros for use of the facilities Our junior suite in the Helianthos building was large and very comfortable with great views from the balcony We really enjoyed eating at the Byzantino restaurant
When we first arrived we were put in a room in the Loutraki building which although had great views from the living room window was definitely not on par with the junior suite room- let alone the superior suite- which staff said this room was.

Fabulous
It is a cozy hotel in a beautiful village. Rooms are spread around the hill, but you can get everywhere quickly. Be prepared to go up and down the stairs. We stayed in rooms in the Louraki building, with picturesque views of the valley, winery, and church. Breakfast went well, and the variety of food provided was very good. SPA is a real gem of this place – super helpful and friendly staff, amazing facilities. The snow room is fully functional and greatly matches the really hot sauna.
Hotel restaurant service needs improvements to make staff less chaotic and more attentive to essential details —disorganization increases waiting time.

Truly remarkable place for tranquility and relaxation.
Everything was really lovely from the views, the spa, the food in the Byzantine restaurant and breakfast was excellent. The Lavazza machine in the room was great which was topped up each day. Although we had decaffeinated in our room they only served Nescafé decaf in powder form in the restaurants, including breakfast so was disappointing for my partner as he only drinks decaf for medical reasons. All the staff were were amazing, nothing was too much trouble.
Cars everywhere!

Exceptional, Unforgettable, Welcoming Traditional Village Hotel.
My experience was undeniably exceptional, receiving top-notch ratings across the board for the room, location, staff, reception, services, breakfast, spa, and restaurants. The captivating natural surroundings and the genuine village atmosphere only added to its allure. I must commend Mr. Angelos, the restaurant manager, for his professionalism and hospitality. Additionally, the hotel efficiently arranged affordable and very good transportation via taxi, ensuring a seamless journey from Limassol to the hotel and later from the hotel to Larnaca.

A luxurious, idyllic mountain retreat. Total relaxation.
A gem. Idyllic, restful. Everything was fabulous. The walks were brilliant (excellent map) and we had amazing views of wildlife. My wife thought that her massage with Lisa was the best she had ever had. Vangelis was a perfect host and fount of local knowledge, and a mean golf buggy rider! If the world wasn't so big and we still had so much to see, then we'd be back, and you would definitely be high on the list second time around!
I really can't think of anything. Loved everything. Actually, a cable car to the new winery would be good, but failing that a transport link from the hotel to save having to drive would be good...

A beautiful mountain retreat
Beautiful hotel. Set in a rural village in the heart of the Troodos mountains, it had almost everything one might need for the perfect stay. Our room was superb and breakfast was a triumph. The winery, owned by the same people is also well worth a visit.
There was nothing to dislike about this hotel, but an outdoor pool of some description would have made it perfect.

Treasure of the mountain
Unfortunately we only stayed one night, wish we had stayed more. This hotel is not a one building hotel and there are a lot of stairs between buildings, but the view from the top building makes up for the inconvenience. There is a small electric car for carrying luggage. We had a very nice welcome, a gift at the reception and fruit in the room. The room is nicely decorated, spacious and comfortable. There are thick blackout curtains for a peaceful night's sleep. Purified, drinkable water from the tap, so everything is perfect :) We had dinner in the hotel restaurant, we had very good and delicious food. The breakfast was wonderful with typical local cheeses and sweets. Beautiful village, beautiful buildings and an excellent hotel I heartily recommend.
Early in the morning (6:30) the bell of the nearest church rang. Just a recommendation - close the window if you don't want to hear the bells :)

Beautiful four star hotel/village stay in stunning Troodos valley.
The hotel is really a collection of restored houses in the village. It’s in a gorgeous setting high up in the Troodos mountains, with a river running below and lots of nature walks one can take as well as a beautiful old monastery and a small church along one of the walks into the mountains. We took one of the walks, a two hour one, but ended up on a road to the winery, which is also run by the hotel owner. We ended up having a wine tasting and lunch and got a lift back to the village with a nice man from the hotel. The hotel restaurant is also very good and breakfast was a great spread. They even found gluten free bread for me! We loved the sitting room and verandah of our room, which made it a lovely place to just hang out and unwind.
The bathroom is really close to the bed without a proper wall between them. The signposting on our nature walk wasn’t clear. We somehow missed a turning back down to the village. No one at the winery could help us get onto the path and gave us wrong directions. We were lucky to get a lift back. Not that stopping at the winery was a hardship, but we missed out on part of a really lovely walk.

Little recharge in a amazing village
Great location, nice service. Enough choice of restaurants.
The beds are really small (for Dutch people) Not much options available at the spa (need to reserve way earlier. We booked this week and only Rasul was available)

The hotel and surrounds exceeded our expectations, we had a wonderful time!
The hotel was beautiful, keeping within the traditional feel of the village yet with modern touches. The views were stunning, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and gave us all the information we needed about the local area. There was a good selection of foods at breakfast and the spa was the best we had been to.
