Description Protaras Blooms: Paralimni

Slide open the patio doors and the garden – complete with a private pool and sun loungers – becomes a seamless extension of these modern interiors. In addition to the well-equipped kitchen, there's an outdoor barbecue setup that makes alfresco evenings more than tempting – but there are beachfront restaurants within a short walk of the front door. Just outside the centre of Protaras, you've got access to some of Cyprus' best beaches here – so the hardest decision is whether to stay poolside or head out.

Home truths:
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. It's worth requesting this in advance to make sure it's ready on arrival.
* The bedrooms are all on the upper floor, while the living, dining, and kitchen areas are on the ground floor – you'll be going up and down the stairs regularly during your stay.
