This substantial 3 bedroom house occupies an outstanding position, amidst vineyards, on the very edge of Droushia village, and enjoys breathtaking views of the Troodos Mountains, the whole of the bay of Chrysochous and the lovely Akamas Peninsular.
Drousia is an old hill village, with traditional houses and hidden winding streets, meandering through the many fruit trees and colourful gardens of the friendly locals. Crime is unknown.
Although only 10 minutes drive from the busy town of Polis and a similar distance from the pretty harbourside and tavernas of Latchi, Drousia enjoys a healthy climate, away from the humid, hot coastline, and does not suffer from the discomfort of mosquitos and bitey flies found lower down. The cool nights, even in the hottest months, ensure a good nights sleep!
The village is the regular meeting place of walkers, who leave their cars at the Drousia Heights Hotel, (fast developing a reputation for the many cultural activities it organizes) before exploring the abundant tracks around the village - even to the Akamas.
The house is a few minutes walk from 3 general stores and 3 tavernas, open air theatre and coffee shops. Excellent beaches are within a 10 minute drive.
To take full advantage of its prominent position, the house was designed with the living rooms upstairs, opening onto a 30m2. covered balcony - all enjoying the wonderful views. At night the twinkling lights of the coastal strip and the hill villages are mesmerizing.
