Kathikas Vineyard Villas

Two stone-built villas sit at the edge of the family's vineyard on the rise above Kathikas, sharing a flagstone terrace and an infinity pool that seems to pour into the vine rows below. Inside it's all cool stone floors, whitewashed walls and deep sofas — comfortable rather than glossy, which is the point.

The owners live across the lane and will happily open a bottle from the winery next door, arrange a tasting, or leave a crate of their own oranges at the door. Paphos is 25 minutes away, but you will not want to leave the terrace at sunset.
