''We had a great time on our holiday Marilena Sunset Dio.The villa was well maintained and very clean along with the excellent swimming pool. Position of the villa was such that it had fabulous sea views to the front and to the hills behind. We hope to return to the same villa on Cyprus again next year as the owner Andreas was very friendly and approachable. I will look to book it through yourselves again as the services i received have been faultless.
Thanks. ''

'' We had a lovely holiday, thank you. The villa was wonderful and the sea view was magnificent. Many thanks again for your assistance with the booking.
The villa was lovely, especially the pool and the sea view. It was well equipped and we enjoyed the pool table and table tennis and our daughter loved the swings.
The location was also good. A quieter area of Cyprus and less touristy which we liked. We would have preferred to be closer to Polis and Latchi as these are our favourite areas but for us, the drive was a little far to visit these areas twice in one day, ie in the day and then again in the evening. However, we worked around this by visiting the more local areas either in the day or evening and opting to travel either in the day or evening to Latchi or Polis. The beach locally is lovely and there were three lovely restaurants near by which we visited regularly. The sea view and sunsets made up for the location of the villa.
The beach is lovely and plenty of beds/parasols. We loved the beach bar/restaurant, Santa Barbara - right on the beach so wonderful to hear the sea and see the sunsets during our evening meals. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Great cocktails too! We also enjoyed our visit to Fly Again. Again, lovely setting and lots of choice on the menu.
Cannot speak more highly of Let’s Rent and Steven. We have booked many villas through yourselves and can not fault the level of service and the quality of the villas. Andreas was very welcoming and helpful and answered all of our questions and ensured we knew how to contact him. The free of charge air con for the bedrooms was very welcome.
We very much hope to! This was our 11th visit so sure we will be back again. We really do love. Cyprus. We very much look forward to our next stay. Kind regards, Becky and Martin. ''

'' From the minute we arrived we were delighted we had chose this villa, it was very spacious plenty of room for our family of nine, pool was fantastic great for swimmers and non swimmers alike. The owner visited to check the pool and that we were happy with everything. I would highly recommend a stay here Close to beaches and mountains best of both worlds .. ''

'' Great Villa, very large and we only used the two bedrooms down stairs. Swimming pool was lovely, very private, nice and clean with no deep end as such. Sun beds were comfy and loads of space around the pool, Sun nearly all day and nice little area for Sun downers and really fantastic view. Area was very, very quiet and hardly any noise/sounds at all, vey peaceful, we enjoyed that aspect.
Inside was very clean with nice furniture, kitchen fully equipped with everything working.
We did not eat in any restaurants locally but used BBQ a few times and that was very nice and well lit. Shopping was done in Polis at Papantoniou and there is a small but well stocked store in Ayia Marina but it always looks closed and not well advertised externally.
Overall we had a very peaceful time and will remember the sunsets for the rest of our lives and would certainly consider this property for future use. As expected there was no problem booking through your company, with Steven always providing an excellent service and always efficient with his communication. Yes we will be back, hopefully quite a bit in the future to Cyprus and will always check your website for rental information. Regards, Nigel.. ''
Holiday Rating: 5 Stars
Lovely Villa. Situation in a quiet spot but with lovely views over the sea and the surrounding countryside from its hillside position. The villa is well equipped and has good standards of furniture throughout eg comfortable beds. The bathroom and kitchen are to a good standard. The villa was clean. The villa offers a really peaceful and relaxing holiday retreat. The pool is huge, and the outside offers a BBQ, pool and table tennis table, with good quality tables, chairs and sun loungers and umbrellas. There are plenty of shaded areas, but good south facing pool area means it gets the sun all day. Andreas the owner is a lovely man, not intrusive at all, just very friendly and helpful. Agents were very helpful and professional with the booking and supporting throughout the process from start to finish. All in all a great holiday experience.

Villa Marilena Sunset Dio
Agia Marina is a Cypriot popular tourist village in Paphos area. It is located 14km NE of Poli Chrysochous
In Agia Marina there are unspoilt sand and shingle beaches in this area - all within a very short drive. A few tavernas can be found along the coastal road with a wider choice of shops, bars and restaurants in Polis Square and Latchi. Nearby Argaka has an ever expanding choice of eateries also. There is a childrens amusement park, mini-market and bakery also.
The village is known as Agia Marina Chrysochous so that it is distinguished from the other villages with the same name in Cyprus and/or Greece. The last census conducted in Cyprus showed that the population of the village is 687 habitants.
The village emerges from a beautiful landscape, made of the most tranquil colours of nature: blue and green. Nature had offered to the village a unique beauty, which is consisted of the wild vegetation and the clean sea. The natural beauty is harmonically interrupted by the cultivated land, which draw water from the barrier of the village. The visitor can approach the beauties of the village through two trails that pass across the village.
The biggest part of the village is covered with wild flora which is enriched by afforestation and cultivated plants. The view from the east part of the village is amazing. Green dominates the woods and it calms the visitor.
The west part of the village is decorated by cultivated land which is mainly irrigated by the barrier. The main cultivations of the village are vegetables, cereals, citrus and fruit trees and forage plants.
The irrigation of the cultivated land is completely depended on the barrier of the village. The river Xeros which is 2,5 km away from the sea, supplies the barrier with water, which is estimated to sixty cubic meters (300,000 tons) of water. The barrier covers the needs of one thousand and five hundred scales of land.
In Agia Marina Chrysochous you can meet the wild animal "Ovis gmellini ophion" (agrino), which is found only in Cyprus and it looks like a wild sheep. It is a unique and also a rare animal, thus its hunting is strictly forbidden.
Someone can approach the beauties of the village through two trails. The first one is made by the forest police and it is 4 km long, full of wild plants. The second trail leads to the barrier and to the chapel of Agia Marina. The wild fauna and flora, the cultivated land, the beach, the barrier and the nature trails are joined harmonically and they create a unique piece of art. The route from Poli Chrysochous that leads to Agia Marina is considered as one of the most picturesque and beautiful routes of the island.
Sports and nature
Whilst in Agia Marina two destinations that should be on every visitor's list: The fabulous Latchi Harbour and the iconic Aphrodite Nature Trail. Some more recommended attractions which are within a short distance is the Blue Lagoon and the Akamas Peninsula National Park. If someone is looking for great family fun, can treat his children with a visit to the Paphos Bird and Animal Park in Pegeia and Pafos Zoo.
Culture & history
In older times, the village was situated in the area of the old church of Agia Marina near the woods. At the end of the English occupation, the English pretended that they wanted to protect the forest from the inhabitants and the animals. Thus, they convert the woods to lots and sold the land to the villagers. This is how the village was "transferred" from its first location. According to an old tradition, the plague was dispersed in the area but Saint Marina eliminated it before it killed the inhabitants of the viallge. Thus, the villagers decided to give the name of the saint to the village because she helped them to fight against the disease.
The town of Polis.
There is plenty of activity to choose from, whether you wish to dine in one of the many restaurants, shop at some larger supermarkets, hire mountain bikes, quad bikes or just watch the world go by in the ambience of the traditional village square.
The nearby Latchi beach is renowned as one of the best on this side of the island and not as crowded as the beaches in and around Paphos itself (which can be reached by car in 30 minutes or under). Latchi beach is famous for its clear blue sea, soft white sand and a great selection of watersports which are readily available. Take one of the boat rides (or even hire your own) to the ‘blue lagoon', have a swim and/or snorkel, then come back to the pretty harbour/fishing port and have the famous ‘Fish Meze' where you will be served approx 20 dishes including some of the freshest catches of the day whilst watching the world go by.
For the more adventurous, you can enter the ‘Akamas' Nature reserve and go all the way round to ‘Lara Beach' famous for its turtles and wonderful beach. If it is unspoilt Cyprus you are looking for, this is a great area to visit. You may even venture into the nearby villages of Peristerona, Lysos and Miliou or further on to Kathikas (with its vineyards and wineries), Droushia and Panagia.
Other fantastic scenery can be taken in at Cedar Valley and the Troodos mountain range where in Winter, you can even Ski!Paphos airport is 1 hour away by very good quality roads with English road signs. Visit Prodromi/Latchi and you won't be disappointed.
