Set in the middle of the warm friendly village of Ozanköy (Poets Village) Orchard House is a traditional Cypriot Villa that has been split into two self contained semi-detached apartments with a very secluded pool set in a shady orchard. The larger apartment sleeps up to six, while the smaller apartment sleeps up to five. Both apartments have air-conditioning and have private outdoor areas with barbecues amongst the orange and lemon trees to either side of the pool. |

Less than 10 minutes away by car is Kyrenia town centre with its celebrated harbour. Only 1.5 miles north of Orchard House is Bellapais Abbey and the Tree of Idleness - made famous by Lawrence Durrell in his book "Bitter Lemons of Cyprus". Durrell lovers will recognise some of the traditional features of Orchard House from the authors own house purchase as described in his book. Orchard House was in fact the servants quarters for the Abbey, hence the huge Turkish oven in the garden, and the orchard itself.
