Detatched Traditional Stone Built House - 3 Bedroom - Sleeps 6
Description
We believe the location and the main structure of the house is over 800 years old. In the 1920s until 1960s the house was partly used as barber shop by Yiorgos (George the barber). The house was purchased by the present owners in 2004 in derelict condition and was painfully and systematically restored to its present condition with the use of traditional and original materials. It is now recognised that the house is one of the best examples of restoration within the region of Limassol.

Silikou and the immediate area is recognised as one of the most ancient areas of wine producing throughout the Middle East, hence the large number of micro wineries that can be found within this region.
The location of the village and its altitude at 1,700 ft offers a unique micro climate of pollution free clear air and the cool breezes relieve the heat at the height of the summer. It is accepted by the locals that the winter and spring seasons are more enjoyable than the summer period.
