Ambelikos Agrohotel

Troödos Mountains


If you thought agrotourism equated to slumming it, think again. This is an example of an exceptional renovation of several 19th-century stone cottages which now offer luxurious rural accommodation. The views of the surrounding countryside from the balconies and tranquil vine-shaded courtyard are truly stunning, while the rooms achieve just the right balance of rustic charm and contemporary comfort.

It's located 6km west of Agros in the picturesque village of Potamitissa.
