 Casale Panayiotis 

See Cyprus’s hidden side 

A stylish mountain bolthole surrounded by stunning scenery, this unique hotel offers a taste of authentic Cypriot village life.

Spread across more than a dozen picturesque buildings in an ancient spa village in the Troodos mountains, Casale Panayiotis is not so much a hotel as an immersive experience. What began as one man’s plan to breathe new life into his childhood home has become a showpiece of regeneration, and one of the most engaging places to stay in Cyprus. It’s quite a setting: think well-worn cobbled lanes lined by red-tiled stone houses on the side of a leafy valley, with dramatic scenery all around. A few days here provides a chance to swap beaches for pine-scented forests, discover - and help sustain - the traditional way of life in a village, and see a side of the island that many visitors don’t even know exists.

Why we love Casale Panayiotis

  • The picturesque setting, in traditional houses in a mountain village, makes this a real one-of-a-kind place to stay

  • It offers a great programme of authentic activities such as halloumi-making workshops, wine tastings and orchard tour

  • At its restaurants, you’ll be tasting dishes made to recipes handed down over generations and using seasonal local ingredients 

  • There’s a fabulous modern light-filled spa with a hydrotherapy suite and an inviting menu of treatments

  • Good to Know

There’s an authentic local flavour to everything at Casale Panayiotis. Just walking along the narrow lanes to different parts of this “dispersed” hotel makes you part of village life, while eating at its restaurants introduces you to family recipes handed down over generations, made using seasonal local ingredients from the immediate area. Thre are three restaurants in total, as well as a bar. In-room dining and private dining are a treat, for something a little more exclusive.

Limassol City, CyprusJanuary 2025

We have been going to this hotel since 2017 and the service was always average. We like the village very much and how the hotel is scattered. However this year the service was really BAD and we are not going again. The hotel was advertising (they also sent us an email) that guests can park at any parking close to the hotel (since the hotel has no parking) and that club cars can pick the guests and drive them to the reception or their room. This never happened and they told us from the reception that the police do not allow the club cars to attend the parking lots!! When we called a club car to drive us from the room to the reception they told us that they have no club car available and as soon as they have availability they will call us. For the records they never called us. One night we decided to stay in the room and we ordered food from room service. We ordered at 8 and the food came at 10.15 and they brought us the wrong order and they came back with the correct order at 10.35(no need to say that the food was really bad and cold). During checkout we also noticed that they charged us food and drinks that we never ordered ! The hotel is very nice, the village is magnificent but the service is at least the service of a 2* hotel. Only Kyriakos was helpful, the rest were not interested to assist guests

Nicosia, CyprusJanuary 2025

Before arriving: Excellent communication and suggestions follow up from the staff. Very proactive with parking arrangements and porter services. Upon arriving: Check in on time and excellent suite. ( We stayed opposite the small church) very clean and neat. Hot, pressurised water at all times. The staff was very attentive and special thanks to Kyriakos for tolerating our wood requests :) Not the first time visiting and definitely not the last.

The facilities are very good although as it has now been open for around 12 years, the rooms we were in could do with some refurbishment. The breakfast was excellent however the dinner in the Byzantino was not so good. The service and facilities were excellent but let down by the quality of the cooked food.
