Description Olivine & Sea: Paralimni

Perched on a quiet street between the resorts of Protaras and Pernera, this villa is tailor-made for long, sun-soaked days in Cyprus. The private pool sits at the heart of a landscaped garden, with a covered seating area and a built-in barbecue setup for alfresco evenings. Head up to the roof terrace and you'll find a built-in kitchen and shaded seating – the kind of spot where sundowners become a ritual. All three upper bedrooms open onto a shared balcony with sea views, and the beaches, bars, and restaurants of Pernera are a five-minute walk away.

Home truths:
* For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here, though it's not wheelchair-accessible.
* While the third bathroom isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* Two bedrooms are set up as twins with two single beds in each, which works particularly well for groups with children.
