Why We Love Pissouri Bay

Meet The Owners

Hi, we are Peter and Nikki Salter.

We bought off-plan in 2004 after discovering Pissouri Bay quite by chance. The plot was formerly a vineyard – which is why we chose the name Ampeli Villa'Vineyard Villa'.

We have been welcoming guests since 2006.

(Photos: Troodos walk to Caledonia Falls).

About Ampeli Villa

Sleeping 6 in 3 bedrooms, with 2 bathrooms (1 ensuite), the villa is ideal for couples, friends and families.

With wrap-around garden and bedroom balconies, there is plenty of room for everyone – outdoors and in.

And as the resort shops are only a 3-minute walk, there are opportunities to give the kids more freedom than usual.

The perfect week that was

The perfect week that was

Excellent location close to the sea, with beautiful views to the bay.
Hired a car and visited some of the old villages such as Omodos and Vouni where the taverns offer marvellous, traditional Cypriot dishes. The icons in the monastery at Omodos are a spectacle.
Kite surfing, water skiing and banana boating were a few of the exhilarating activities we enjoyed on the beach with our old friends Iannis and Dea and new friend Carlos
A wonderful week spent in an immaculate villa under blue skies. What more could you want?

5 star villa

The villa is as advertised and exceptionally clean. There was everything in the villa that you could possibly need, – it was like a home from home. 5 star villa. Pissouri is beautiful – never staying in Larnaca, Lemesos, Paphos or Ayia Napa again! Lovely villa – would recommend it to all our friends and family.

Poolside is excellent

50th birthday celebrations in Pissouri

Home from home. Everything you need is made available. Poolside is excellent.

Excellent information made available from first booking via social media and on the guest handbook.

Pissouri Village , Melanda Beach, Kouklia are amongst our favourite spots. We also like Polis and Latchi.

We really like Agamemnon seaside bar with its natural air conditioning , great views of the bay and fab local food. (Do not be put off if it is empty and there are no tables set out) the custom is to get your own table and chairs from the room to the side. Pissouri Bay Cafe is always busy and worth a visit. Michaels in the village is a bit of class and Melanda Beach is our favourite seafood restaurant.

(3rd visit, with return already booked)

Quite simply a home from home

Quite simply a home away from home

Incredibly well equipped with quality all round. A stone’s throw away from the bizz of the beach area with ample choice of eateries etc, but also all you would want for a quiet relaxing holiday, quite simply a home from home. Returning hopefully next year for our fifth consecutive year to Pissouri and we will find it difficult to beat this great villa.

A perfect spot for a bit of R and R

A perfect spot for a bit of R and R

Villa is well appointed with a high standard of finish.
In an ideal spot within an easy 2 min walk to the restaurants and shops / bars of the bay. With peaceful neighbours its a perfect spot for a bit of R & R. Pissouri Bay is a small village with a cluster of 20 or so shops/ bars/ restaurants – we were impressed with the standard of service and food. Pissouri Village up the hill has a quaint feel to it and well worth a visit. Recommend wine route up towards Troodos (no need to go all the way – windy roads and breathtaking views) and a trip into Paphos (head for Port area).
Fantastic Villa and Holiday. I hope we can return again soon.

Way Above Expectations

Way above expectations

Our 3rd villa stay in Pissouri Bay. Ampeli Villa certainly comes out tops. Everything you need and more is provided for you. Its not like a holiday rental, more walking into someone’s home. The villa is furnished in a clean and modern style. Excellent and detailed information is supplied in the handbook and a lot of thought and attention has been put into making a relaxing holiday for guests. From our very first contact with Nikki everything was dealt with efficiently and quickly. We were very impressed. The only other thing to mention is “wall to wall” sunshine. We loved it.

Locality: A small village but plenty going on and not too far from the many attractions described by Nikki.

Favs: Kastro was our favourite restaurant. Enjoyed visit to Kooklia too. Gabrielles taverna excellent.

A truly relaxing and chilled holiday

A truly relaxing and chilled holiday

This was our second visit to Ampeli Villa after a period of 7 years. The villa did not disappoint. It was as good as we remembered and we quickly felt at home.
We all really enjoyed our stay for what is a truly relaxing and chilled holiday in beautiful surroundings.

As a family of 4 ( 2 teenage girls) we would highly recommend the watersports at the beach. We spent a lovely few hours over a couple of mornings, kayaking and hiring pedal boats. The morning is recommended as the sea is very calm and the water is crystal clear. The breeze picks up later in the day.

Also really enjoyed the addition of food at the Cafe Bar in Pissouri Bay. Easy walking distance from the villa and really good food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Would you recommend us to friends and family? Absolutely.

Beautiful beach

Just enjoying our last day

Fantastic villa. Uninterrupted sea views and lovely secluded garden with beautiful pool. Lots of really thoughtful touches. Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, a real home from home.
Guest handbook with lots of information was a real bonus.
Short walk from lots of bars restaurants and a couple of small supermarkets. Beautiful beach, lots of sunbeds and umbrellas along with jet skis, water skiing etc supplied by the lovely Mo. Pissouri village is beautiful very old worlde, traditional restaurants and bars.
We loved the amphitheatre. Visited twice to see two tribute bands. Take a cool box and drinks. Limassol is lovely with a new marina, but also lovely parts of the old town to explore.
We will definitely be back.

Also loved the first place on the left when you walk from villa [Vineleaf Tavern] – went to a Vietnamese Night there, it was great!

A quick swim in the sea whenever we liked

a quick swim in the sea whenever we liked

Ampeli Villa is a beautiful home from home – films to watch, music to listen to and games to play when we weren’t enjoying the beautiful gardens and making the most of the lovely pool.

Pissouri Bay is a quaint little hamlet with a lovely section of bars and restaurants, handy stores and beautiful beaches. We were able to pop down for a quick swim in the sea whenever we liked.

Pissouri Village, up in the hills, is also a beautiful location that boasts the most breath taking mountain views. Its tiny cobbled streets are home to a lovely selection of bars, restaurants and tavernas and we really enjoyed the slightly cooler breeze that is to be found on the hillside.

The children’s favourite part of the holiday was the day we spent a the waterpark in Fassouri. We also had a lovely day out to Omodos in the Troodos region where we were able to sample and purchase some locally made wine.

A lovely stay in your villa again

Our fourth visit - excellent as usual

Just a quick email to say thank you for the use of the villa which we really enjoyed again this year.
We tried the Kyrenia beach taverna which was excellent but found out that it is cash/cheque only! The owner was very kind and let us eat one day and pay the next – they are just so laid back in Cyprus, if only the UK was as kind!
We had a lovely stay in your villa again.

A lovely quiet bay with up to a dozen restaurants/bars and a few shops. Beach quite secluded and only a short walk from the villa. The Village – stunning views, traditional tavernas and gift shops selling handmade goods.
Favs: Artima (fine dining Italian) in Limassol – for a special occasion. Il Buchetto in the bay – try the beef. Melanda Beach Restaurant for lunch – try the swordfish. Breakfast or dinner by the sea at Captains Bay. Cocktails in the Grape & Grain.
I wish I was still there!!

It was perfect thank you

My family of 6: 3 grandchildren, our daughter, my hubby and I have just returned today from a holiday in Ampeli Villa in Pissouri. I would like to say that we have never stayed in a villa that was as so complete as yours, we could not fault it at all. We had such a great time and the children 8yrs and 10yrs were so delighted with all of the little touches for them (the games). It was perfect, thank you and we would certainly look again to booking it and recommending it.

October in Pissouri

50th birthday celebrations in Pissouri

This is our second visit to Villa Ampeli and yet we could see further improvements which have been made by Nikki and Peter since our previous visit in 2016. This is a wonderful modern villa which caters for all of the needs of its guests irrespective of age especially families. Nikki and Peter have thought of everything that you may need to make your holiday a memorable one from the perspective of a villa holiday.

October is a wonderful time to stay in Pissouri and the Bay Area and village were busier than our previous stay in July. (This may be down to the re-opening of the Columbia Resort). Our favourite places we visited were Melandra Beach (fresh fish), Agamemnon Beach Bar (views, chats, Cypriot home cooked food and relaxation), HillView (Nice treat) and Pissouri Bay Cafe Bar (hospitality and people watching).

We will visit again and would absolutely recommend Villa Ampeli if you are considering a trip to Pissouri Bay.

We found the villa very well equipped including the amount of local information.
We hired a car for days out and for the days in we enjoyed the bay and the village. One restaurant in the bay was particularly good – Limanaki. Really enjoyed the place with the amazing views [Hill View].
We chartered a yacht while we were there and have left the details at the villa.
We used your neighbours’ jet skis and had great fun and also went wine tasting.

50th birthday celebrations in Pissouri

50th birthday celebrations in Pissouri

Villa Ampeli caters for your every need. We visited with my wife’s parents, her sister who celebrated her 50th Birthday and her husband.

We ate in the villa a lot using the BBQ and internal oven. Everything we needed was on hand including an electric mixer and blender.

The villa is ideally located for the beach which you can almost touch from the rear balcony. The sound of the waves in the morning is all you can hear.

The rear garden is private and catches the sun from 8:20 to 18:30 in late August/September. The pool is fabulous.

The pagoda and table give respite from the sun and are great to relax around and outside dining.

Lots of choice on the tv including catch Up and UK main channels as well as other internet tv options.

Nikki and Peter are on hand to help as required and respond swiftly to the smallest of queries.

We will visit again and highly recommend Villa Ampeli.

Locality: Beautiful, quiet, variety of eateries and close to lots of points of interest

Favs: Ampeli, Michaels, Agemmon , Melanda Beach, Pissouri Bay Cafe and Kourium

Our fourth visit - excellent as usual

Our fourth visit – excellent as usual!

We found a couple of new eating places in Kouklia, approx 15 minutes drive from the villa towards Paphos. The first night we tried Gabriel’s Tavern which was good, it caters for tourists! On our second visit the restaurant was full so we tried Efraim Tavern, which is next door to Gabriel’s. It is a tavern frequented mainly by Cypriots. The owner was very friendly and chatted to us about events in the village. The food was superior to Gabriel’s, too much to eat and very cheap! It was great to escape the busy tourist locations and to venture into more authentic Cyprus and to have the opportunity to engage with the locals at a different level. There are several more tavernas behind the main square, we only did only see this on the second visit as initially it looks like a very small village. Thursday night is Cyprus night – imagine it must be fun!

Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Great stay

Our holiday was fantastic

We’re familiar with the Pissouri area after spending the last two summers at the Columbia Resort but were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the Ampeli Villa. Its location was brilliant with everything apart for the supermarket within walking distance. The villa itself was great with everything as described on the website and the information provided by Nikki. All you would want for your stay was provided within the villa including films, games, etc although as usual the Cyprus weather didn’t let us down and so the time spent inside was minimal. The villa was clean, tidy and very well equipped and our holiday went without fault. The local restaurants cover all needs and our favourites were Il Buchetto (with Andrea, George and the crew) and Kastro which was new for us but was excellent. Looking forward to next year!

50th birthday celebrations in Pissouri

When you arrive you are hit by the location, tranquility, space, layout and quality / cleanliness of the furnishings. With views of the sea, privacy from the neighbouring villas and proximity to tavernas and shops it exceeded all of our expectations.
The outside space is fabulous and the gas bbq is great.
You can see the sea and hear the waves some mornings. We particularly enjoyed the Vineleaf Tavern, Yialos and Agamemnon beach bar. We used Chris’ watersports a couple of times – they dropped us off then collected us from the local Kyrenia Beach where we stopped for a relaxing lunchtime meal.
We would definitely stay again and recommend.

One of the best villas we have stayed in

One of the best villas we have stayed in

One of the best villas we have stayed in whilst visiting Pissouri and we loved it. The modern and spacious accommodation (really liked the photos on the wall throughout the villa), fantastic pool and lovely garden and surroundings created a great environment to relax in and our two weeks went by too quickly.
The villa has everything and more that guests of all ages could possibly need and the guest handbook and other information provided was really helpful. We did manage a few trips out of the villa but didn’t manage to fit in the boat trip to see the turtles and other wildlife near Lara Bay – but there is always next year and we would definitely stay at the villa again.

Locality: Pissouri Bay and Pissouri Village have a charm of their own which make them a perfect place to stay and enjoy a quiet, relaxing holiday. Everything you need is within walking distance of the villa or a short drive away including a clean and safe blue flag beach (tip to other guests – it is worth investing in the inexpensive water shoes/booties sold in the local shops as the beach is pebbly), supermarkets, restaurants and small gift shops, and the local people are friendly and make you welcome wherever you go.

Favs: We enjoyed eating at Perry’s, Kastro’s in Pissouri Bay and the Hideaway in Pissouri Village. We also enjoyed good food served at the Pissouri Bay Cafe Bar (they do set times for breakfast, lunch and dinner so it is worth checking to avoid missing out). We finished our holiday with cocktails in the Columbia Hotel Resort, sitting on the terrace overlooking the sea – planning our next holiday.

We would recommend you to family and friends.

Lots of information on the website and inside the villa and the laminated maps of local areas were excellent. Well designed guest handbook of ‘how everything works’.

We have been visiting Pissouri for many years and it is one of our favourite destinations. It is quiet and peaceful without the distractions of Paphos or Limassol though they are both within easy reach by car.

Melanda Beach restaurant was excellent this visit and we always enjoy the Captains Bay overlooking the beach.

The little touches were perfect

The villa was amazing, looked exactly as the photos on the website, the little touches such as games, cds, dvds were perfect for when we came in from our evening meal. The pool & gardens were also beautiful and the views from the upstairs balconies outstanding.

All the information on the website was extremely helpful & Nikki was available with answers to any other questions I had.

We didn’t hire a car so stayed in the local area. We couldn’t believe how quiet the beach was for August no fighting for space we practically had a whole stretch to ourselves!! Brilliant!! We got a taxi to the large supermarket in the village to stock up then just got bits from the 2 smaller shops in the bay.

Our favourite places to eat were Yialos tavern (the best halloumi), Pissouri bay cafe and for value for money pizza venetto. We had a night up in the village which lovely to wander around. Our 2 girls enjoyed the inflatable rides at Chris water sports.

Such a fabulous villa, everything we needed and the attention to detail to ensure all guests enjoy their stay was second to none. The location is quiet but perfect for the beach and short drive to the village. We ate out at all of the restaurants in the bay, all were good but our favourites were the Pissouri bay cafe and Kastros.

Everything you need for a relaxing holiday

Everything you need for a relaxing holiday

Clean, tidy, well equipped and everything in excellent order. Lovely pool and overall setting. Second time staying in Ampelli Villa, already talking about planning a third!

Pissouri Bay offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday, lots of beaches and archeological sites nearby with good selection of restaurants and bars.

Kastros in Pissouri Bay was our favourite restaurant, had delicious meals there, lovely views of the bay and friendly staff.

Would definitively recommend.

Will highly recommend

A relaxing holiday

We had such a nice holiday! Your home is lovely! Everything was as we hoped, if not better. The Bay and Mo [at Chris Watersports] were perfect! She was fab. So lovely. The kids experienced stuff they have never had chance to and it was a perfect balance between relaxing and adrenaline.
Thank you very much for all your touches. We will highly recommend you to our friends.
Hope to come back again.

Fantastic villa

Fantastic villa

We’ve had a lovely week and the villa is wonderful. We all thought it was exceptionally well furnished and the kitchen contained everything we could possibly need.
With so much of the world to see, we rarely visit the same location twice; however, for your fantastic villa we may have to make an exception!

The most relaxing and fun holiday of my life

The most relaxing and fun holiday of my life

Ampeli Villa is beautiful, so clean, so organised and so homely. I’m positive this has been the most relaxing and fun holiday of my life.
Janne [manager], the gardeners and pool guy are so helpful and friendly. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better holiday.
Pissouri Bay is beautiful, lovely friendly people, great bars and restaurants and shops have all you need. We hired a car from a local business which came highly recommended. Great value and such an easy place to drive around.
We will definitely be returning.

We had a great time, the villa was perfect for us and I think you have thought of everything. The villa handbooks were also excellent and easy to follow, all we had to do was relax and enjoy it. The BBQ was a joy to use as well, compared to our charcoal one at home, I think it convinced us to buy something similar for home. Really clean too so we would definitely stay there again.

In a lovely quiet location

8th visit and want a return trip in October

Everything we remembered from our visit last year. The villa is lovely.
A lovely quiet location walking distance from restaurants and local shops.
The pool area / garden is especially nice and perfect for lazy days and very tranquil at night with all the lights on when you return from eating out and want to chill before retiring.
G did a diving course with Pissouri Bay Divers – they were fab. Returning in October for him to continue to the next level.
For me the holiday was a crash and chill so I only ventured out to wander along the beach eat and visit the local shops in the Bay for supplies. I did however happen upon Bay Jewellery, Gemma is very talented and her jewellery is lovely, she is also keen to make any pieces bespoke.
Kastros and Artemis remained our favourites from last year. With Yialos being added this year – the fish was amazing.
Thanks for a perfect week.

Third stay at this lovely villa

Third stay at this lovely villa

Third stay at Nikki and Peter’s lovely villa in Pissouri. The location is perfect – shortest of strolls to the restaurants and the beach – and the villa is in excellent condition, being equipped with every creature comfort.

There is lots of space, inside and out, including full-sized dining tables both indoors and outside on the patio. The sun beds are very comfortable and can be positioned either in full sun, part sun or full shade. The location is quiet and the villa is well detached from its neighbours.

Good wi-fi is included in addition to a modern TV system with a huge range of movies and channels to select from, including catch-up TV. The beds are comfortable, there is plenty of hot water and two modern bathrooms. There are two sets of double patio doors on the ground floor which can be left open to provide a cooling air flow during the day and excellent air conditioning, both upstairs and down, for the balmy night times.

There is a large BBQ and a fully-equipped kitchen and utility, although we ate out every evening, never needing to take the car as there are half a dozen restaurants within 5 minutes’ walk. There are two mini markets near the restaurants and a larger supermarket within 10 mins drive.

Pissouri Beach is delightful – not greatly changed from when we first discovered it in the mid-90s – with safe swimming, water sports for rent and plenty of places for a coffee, lunch or a drink, all with great views.

There is a local manager available in case of problems, but we had none. The pool guy visits twice weekly and the pool, just like the villa, is very clean.

Favs: Cafe Bar to eat and the drive to Latchi & Polis for a day out. That said, as the holiday progressed we did not feel the need to stray far from the lovely pool and garden.

Would you recommend us to friends and family? Yes. Without reservation.

Pool is lovely

Everything you need for a relaxing holiday

The villa is in excellent order, well presented and maintained. Very clean inside and out. Pool is lovely and has been thoroughly enjoyed by the four of us, could not get the children out!
Returned after 15 or so years, more developed but still wonderful. Great beach, restaurants, people. Felt relaxed as soon as we arrived.
Went to Artemis, good food and friendly staff. Columbia Beach Hotel for cocktails, pricey but worth it!
Visited Kourion, well worth a trip, Paphos Archaeological Area fascinating with amazing mosaics. Limassol castle was interesting and we enjoyed exploring the old town.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our week. Already talking about booking again for next year!

Pissouri is a favourite haunt

Very comfortable… instructions brilliant. Very well equipped – toys welcome.
Website gives a real feel for this lovely part of the world.
Pissouri is a favourite haunt of ours. The village itself is a real taste of Cyprus. We loved Omodos plus Trodoos on a hot day as noticeably cooler. Melanda beach restaurant very good with lovely swimming in calm shallow water perfect for young children. Enjoyed Yialos for lunch. Sunday BBQ at Agamenon good… Androula is charming, everything cooked fresh, v rustic!!
Favs: Agamemnon for adults, children love Captains Bay. Melanda for swimming and fish lunch or sundowners.
Early morning swims are great in the sea… if you can hear waves at the villa it probably won’t be as relaxing 😎
