Nestled on the steep slopes of the Troodos Mountains, the village of Panayiotis in Cyprus feels like something out of a fairytale. As you approach, the sight of its terracotta rooftops clinging to the mountainside strikes you with its picturesque beauty. The village, almost magically suspended above the valley, beckons visitors with its timeless charm. The journey into Panayiotis involves navigating winding roads that offer breathtaking views at every turn. Upon arrival, the village unfolds with a mix of quaint alleyways and traditional stone houses. One of its highlights is the boutique hotel Casale Panayiotis. Tucked away at the end of a narrow alley, its reception is housed in one of the original village homes, and all the rooms are spread across these restored historic buildings, offering an authentic experience in a setting that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. However, the village itself is a bit deceptive. As you wander the winding streets, you expect to stumble upon bustling squares or hidden gems, but most paths lead to yet more clusters of old, quiet homes. The beauty of these ancient houses is undeniable, yet with every turn, you find yourself met with the same tranquil scenery, and it can grow monotonous. While Panayiotis is steeped in history, there is surprisingly little in the way of attractions or cultural experiences. Aside from the beautifully preserved medieval monastery on the outskirts, the village supermarket seems to be the only other cultural event worth visiting, offering a modest selection of local goods. Adding to the village's charm—and frustration—is the heat. In the sweltering summer sun, all you want to do is dive into a cool pool. And there it is, like a shimmering mirage—an inviting, crystal-clear swimming pool that sticks out like a glistening jewel, cantilevered over a back garden from one of the old stone houses. It’s private, of course, and completely off-limits. This tantalizing sight, hanging just out of reach, only heightens the longing for relief, making it both alluring and annoyingly inaccessible. For a touch of excitement, the village funicular is a curious novelty. This small cable car whisks you from one street to another, offering sweeping views of the village and valley as it ascends the steep hill. While the funicular is a highlight, it underscores the quiet, slow-paced nature of the village. In summary, Panayiotis is perfect for those seeking peace, history, and a scenic retreat. However, beyond its medieval monastery and charming streets, the village is quiet—sometimes to a fault—with little to offer in the way of traditional tourist attractions. Still, its serene beauty and unique accommodations make it an unforgettable, if understated, getaway.

This place has a long history and already existed in the 1950s. Given that you shouldn't expect a completely renovated new hotel yet a cute little place to rest after hour hikes. The rooms are clean and some have a balcony overlooking the beautiful valley and the olympus. The staff speaks English and was very friendly. The hotel is clean and the All you can eat breakfast for 6,50€ per person is best to enjoy on the terrace outside. The rooms don't have air conditioning but a little fan so it'll get hot in summer. Would totally stay there again!

Whilst the rooms were clean and warm, the carpet was heavily soiled. There was a mini fridge in the room which constanttly made noises I can only compare to a toilet drain filling and emptying. I turned it off. 4am in the morning they decided to clean the wooden floors in the restaurant!! The machine they used was a large polisher similar to a mini street cleaning machine. The noise was awful. Totally disrespectful to the guests staying there. Thed buffet breakfast opened at 7.30 am but no coffee/tea facilities were available in the restaurant for those early risers. The breakfast buffet items were already cold when they opened. One would have expected overhead heating lights but all they had was a string of ordinary light bulbs!!! This place is ok for an overnight stay for ramblers. But then Troodos Square itself is hardly a tourist attraction. The hotel is a 2 star in my opinion and in desperate need of some tlc. I wouldn't return.

A wonderful warm welcome was had as soon as we entered reception. We didn’t have a booking and we were shown options of rooms available by an extremely helpful gentleman.After a complementary drink we went to our room which has a spectacular view and a small balcony to sit on . The room had everything that we needed and a very powerful shower . Breakfast was a variety of cold meats , yogurts , buffet style cooked and also omelettes . The lady that showed us to our table and we are sorry we can’t remember her name Was so helpful and explained to us about the different sweetened fruits that were on the buffet to try for example , sweetened bergamot, walnuts , grapes etc. We will definitely return one day .

Nice hotel, a bit dated, avoid the evening Buffet We spent a weekend at the Forest View Hotel. In general the hotel is nice but it does feel like you have gone back to the 1970s. The rooms have the old 1970s bathrooms and the old fashioned brown furniture. That said, it was clean. We tried the evening buffet on our first night, which was very disappointing, the food is poor. The pork and chicken wasn't fully cooked with both still pink. Breakfast was basic but enough to keep us going.. We tried the main restaurant on the second night. This was a lot better. The brandy Sours were lovely. We will return, as in general it's quite nice and quirky. We won't however, have the evening buffet

Generally we have enjoyed our stay! Wonderful location, view, many available amenities, deco of the hotel, family atmosphere, friendly staff and food -especially buffet. But the first cold night the heating, that we paid for, was out of service air condition and central. The people that were available to talk to at night in the reception weren't able to help. The next morning they manage to send a technician- that we demanded -and the problem was fixed but nobody came us to discuss any payback to us in any way as it was a lost paid service. Plus, despite that I have booked a room for two adults and two kids, 9-year-old and less than two years,they told me that they could not see that at their system. They said that, they will arrange it. Finally they charged us without any prior notice, despite I have paid online our stay.
