Manzara Villa is Turkish and means villa with a view. So true! The view is fantastic, and you see something pretty almost regardless of where you are and what direction you look on this property.
NEW: POWER NEUTRAL. Villa Manzara is now self supplied with electric power from our own solar system. We do no longer contribute to sulphurous smoke from the power plant. When you stay with us you can run A/C with good conscience and not worry about excessive power charges.
In 2008 the Sunset Valley development was awarded the "Best Luxury Development in North Cyprus" price - with good reason. The location is truly fantastic if you like great views and privacy. The city and many activities are a short car drive away. Restaurants and bars are to be found within walking distance.
The villa is situated at the top of the development at one of the best plots in an elevated position with uninterrupted views of the sea and the beautiful hilly countryside of this area. The pool area is very private and not overlooked, and this is also the case on the majority of the terraces. There are at least six suitable seating areas around the villa, so, as the sun moves, you can move round to stay in or out of the sun as you please, whilst enjoying stunning views from each one. In addition, there are plenty of comfortable sunbeds available.
From the large upper sun terrace, there is nearly a 360 degree panoramic view of the sea, the mountains and the pine woods nearby. To go walking in the hills and woods, you only have to go out the gate or climb over the wall, and you are there! Gravel roads make walking or mountain biking very easy and no special clothing is required other than good shoes. The stunning Besparmak mountains are right on your doorstep! In about 2 hours you can be at the highest local top and see the ocean on the south side. The distance to the seafront is about 800 m as the crow flies, and roughly 1200 m to walk. There you will find a rocky beach in the Crystal Bay, with a natural pool in the West end, formed by the interesting geological formations in the area. The place is great for floating about on an air mattress while enjoying the view, as it is protected from the waves coming in.
The villa has its own 12 x 6 m swimming pool that is very private. Next to the pool, there is a gazebo that allows for staying out of the sun or enjoying the evening outside.
At the front outside the living room there is large roofed terrace that offers shade or rain shelter in combination with a great sea view.
The plot is very spacious (1600 m2), and allows plenty of space for children or anybody that likes to walk around and look at the plants or taste some fruit. It is ideal for small children as all terraces are fully enclosed by railings.
An orchard with many fruit trees, as well as lots of beautiful plants around the entire property, have been established. This is coming along nicely.
The house has a spacious entrance hall and kitchen area adjacent to the lounge with a separate dining area. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need, as well as a breakfast bar. All rooms have direct access to the outside terraces, including a shady pergola area for those hot days.
A modern Smart TV set with blue ray 3D DVD player is installed in the lounge. This allows Internet access via the remote control; and via USB connection or HDMI, music or videos can be played on the TV using smart phones, PC or other such units. The TV is fitted with a HDMI cable and Google Chromecast unit to allow connecting a laptop, tablet or smart phone. Wi-Fi is installed with a 15 Mbit/sec internet speed. We have a VPN Nordic account that allows you to via your PC or tablet or phone watch Internet TV from your home country. The Tv has a Netflix app.
The lounge has comfortable, purpose-built furniture, with a fireplace and sea view.
In addition on the ground floor, there are two large bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms, plus a large separate family bathroom with bath tub. Bedroom 2 is a double and is poolside.
Bedroom 3 can either be configured with 3 single beds or a double plus single bed; or for those who like it wide – a triple bed! If necessary a fourth bed can be located there as we have a spare mattress and there is room for one more bed. We normally only have 3 to allow better space by the window.
The top floor comprises one double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with bath tub. The rest of this floor is occupied by a huge (about 90 m2) sun terrace facing three sides of the property. her you enjoy absolute privacy.
All internal flooring has a marble finish; all outside terraces have non-slip tile finishing. All bathrooms are tiled. All bed rooms and the lounge area have air conditioning, and for the winter season, central heating is available.
The house was built in 2009, was refurbished in 2013, and appears like new. The interior has been carefully selected to give you a comfortable home feeling.
A garage allows for parking the car out of the sun all day.
