live music at the beer garden

Summer is here, and that means the start of Aphroditerentals.com team’s favourite Resort event – the Summer Music Festival Live Music Nights at the Beer Garden in Aphrodite Hills. Every Friday night throughout July & August (and some Wednesdays too!) a live band is billed to play on the stage at the Beer Garden, and this year’s lineup is looking fantastic! 

The Beer Garden has a wonderful atmosphere, with picnic benches lining the outskirts of the central grassed area, plenty of tables and chairs within, and, of course, space for dancing in front of the stage. A selection of beers, wines, other alcoholic beverages and soft drinks are available from the bar (it can get busy!), and if you fancy eating there you can order food from the new snack menu, or order take away from the Italian Zimi Trattoria Italian (the pizzas are great!). 

The Live Music Nights are family friendly too – if the little ones get a bit tired of watching the bands then the playpark is really close by, Haagen-Dazs is on hand, and there are a selection of kids arcade toys to keep them entertained at the Beer Garden itself too.

The bands this year come highly recommended (by us!); Mr Wilson (reggae & funk band) and Fuse (rock band) in particular. 

Music starts from 8.30pm each event, with the lineup as follows..

The Aphrodite Hills Beer Garden Summer Music Festival Schedule:

JULY:
Friday 4th July: Street Band by Sotos Gonios
Friday 11th July: Fuse Rock Band
Wednesday 16th July: Minus One

Modern Bathrooms – Why are they so Important?

Modern Bathrooms – Why are they so Important?

by | Oct 3, 2023 | Property Management

WHY WE RECOMMEND: MODERN BATHROOMS

THE IMPORTANCE OF MODERN BATHROOMS

It’s the room where we begin and end our days, asides the bedroom. It’s where our hygiene is taken care of, it’s where we have some rare time to ourselves: ladies and gentlemen, the bathroom. The bathroom is often overlooked and given low priority by property owners, but Aphroditerentals.com are here to tell you, as property management experts, why a modern bathroom is so important.

Is it worth investing in a bathroom renovation? What are the gains?:

Improve relaxation and comfort – these days we want to maximise all of our time so that any break we get, even if it’s just a morning shower, is as relaxing as possible. A zen bathroom break can go a long way to enhancing your overall relaxation mode. In addition, a modern bathroom really adds to the overall ‘luxury’ feel to a property, offering a further sense of general comfort and satisfaction in a home.

Improve your sustainability and energy efficiency – consider updating your appliances during a renovation to make your bathrooms more energy efficient; swap the lights to LEDs (they use 75% less energy), swap your flush mechanism to a more environmentally friendly one (low flow, dual flush, pressure-assist). These changes will also lead to a cheaper electricity bill, as well as being good for the planet.

Increase property value – according to research, a renovated bathroom can increase your property value by around 60%; the more modern the look, the more sought-after your property. According to Big Bathroom inspiration, 80% of people in their poll said that they would pay more for a home with a modern bathroom. Bathroom renovations come second only to new kitchen installations in terms of return on investment, sometimes even topping the polls.

Improve rentability of your property – in the last two or so years a modern bathroom has quickly become one of the most frequently requested items on a rental guest wish list when searching for their holiday rental home.

Improve functionality and flow – make more space and place appliances and fixtures exactly where you want them.

Improve storage space – if you want to include modern units with drawers or small cupboards, or inset wall designs for bathroom products.

From a Holiday Rental Property Perspective:

Tracy, our lovely Reservations Manager, tells us “guests frequently list ‘modern bathroom’ as one of their priority requirements when looking for their holiday rental property. Modern bathrooms comes in as one of the top mentioned items of a guest request, together with modern décor and coffee machines. Gas BBQs and, understandably, comfortable beds are also often highlighted”.

When comparing properties with modern/renovated bathrooms, we note the pattern of them booking out first for high season dates, and generating more bookings overall throughout a year. On the flip side, properties with the most tired looking bathrooms are the last to book out and the least likely to enjoy return guest bookings. It’s not just return guest visits that modern bathrooms encourage, but also better reviews – which are so important these days. One thing is clear; guest standards for bathrooms are high, and quite rightly so.

how to upgrade your bathroom

Now that we’ve tackled the ‘why’, let’s tackle the ‘how’. You don’t have to start from scratch, modernising your bathroom can be done at a variety of levels; from a more modest project involving making some small but significant changes, through to a substantial project involving a full refurbishment. It depends on your budget, your goals and your taste. We have outlined some of the smaller, more modest ideas, with some grander suggestions…

Bathroom Upgrade Vs Bathroom Renovation:

MODEST MODERNISATION:
There are some simple steps that you can take to modernise your bathroom if you don’t have the budget to do a full renovation, such as:

  • Replacing old tiles
  • Updating existing shower doors / tiles
  • Replacing only the fittings that really need replacing: bathtub, shower, toilet and/or sink
  • Replacing showerheads / mixers / tapware
  • Replacing bathroom countertop
  • Replacing or respraying bathroom cabinets / wooden fixtures
  • New light fixtures – suspended ceilings with spotlights, for example.
  • Replacing the mirror with a new one – backlit bathroom mirrors look great, for example.


OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW!:
Let’s go for it! Rip out the old and treat your home to a full bathroom renovation: new floors, new tiles, new sanitary fixtures, countertops, mirror, lighting. First, work out your budget and how much you’re happy to spend on your bathroom investment, then go for it, you wont regret it! Aphroditerentals.com are very experienced in managing bathroom renovations, from design to shopping around for the best supplies, to arranging contractors – we’ve got you covered. Mindful of your budget we work together with you to create the brand-new bathroom you desire.

POPULAR BATHROOM FEATURES:

  • Separate standing shower
  • Neutral colours and contemporary finishes
  • Rainfall shower
  • Minimalist style
  • Tiled flooring
  • Heated towel rail


BATHROOM HINTS:

*Installing large mirrors reflect the room and give the impression of larger space. We love backlit lighting that give mirrors a floating effect.
*Go neutral, and if you’d like to incorporate some colour then do so by introducing other tones in your light fixtures, cabinets or tiles.
*Spotlights create a great ambience, look modern and brighten a bathroom proportionately. They’re also very efficient and cost effective.
*Using the same tiles throughout the whole room give it a contemporary feel, and can create an impression of more space.

We’ve already done the research, we know which contractors to use, and where’s best to source materials from. Using our services:

*Saves you time

When is the best time to work on your bathroom project?

Winter. Every time. It’s indoor works so the weather will not affect schedules, and there will be less annoyance to any neighbouring properties if there are any noisy jobs required, particularly if your neighbours rent their property for holiday lets. If you rent your property for holidays then this is the quietest time for bookings so will have the least impact on holiday rental income too.

in conclusion

A dated bathroom can be the biggest disadvantage to a rental property, or to a property for sale on the market, and with some TLC a modern bathroom can really improve your home, in many ways. Homeowners – don’t neglect your bathrooms, you and your property deserve more!

vitro osteria

A taste of italy in paphos city centre

Aphroditerentals.com recommends Vitro Osteria restaurant, with pleasure. This stunning restaurant is found in the heart of beautiful Paphos Old Town, one of our favourite locations to visit in Cyprus. Vitro opened its doors in 2021, with its menu, curated by Executive Chef Giorgio Manganiello, impressing diners ever since.

Vitro offers authentic Italian food cooked fresh in their open kitchen; they are, quite rightly, very proud of their homemade pasta that is made in-house on a daily basis, and their delicious, hand-crafted Napolitana pizzas. All fish featured in the menu is super fresh too. The menu is well crafted and caters for all, with signature dishes including Filetto Alla Boscaiola (tender back Angus steak sous vide, pumpkin and carrot puree with a selection of wild mushrooms and fresh cream on sauce or green pepper sauce). Si! View the food menu.

Choose from their delightful cocktail menu to accompany your meal, their hand-picked wine menu is top class too.

Have you ever had an Italian Brunch? Vitro are open for Italian brunches by day (from 10am – 1pm) and we highly recommend this as a lovely choice of brunching experience. Their coffee is on-point, and the brunch menu features a variety of beautiful Italian dishes such as frittatas and lemon ricotta pancakes. Take a long brunch, enjoy the food, enjoy the experience. View the brunch menu.

What we also love about visiting Vitro is the ambience that the owners have created; it is a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere, with décor that has the vibe of classy and sophisticated meets bohemian. There are not many gems like it, especially considering it is conveniently located in the centre of town. Marina is a charming hostess with a real warmth, and her team offer friendly, knowledgeable and professional service. Authenticity is at the heart of what Vitro offer, and it really shines through in the menu, as well as the team’s passion for their menu. Overall, delicious Italian food and a wonderful dining experience. Go and see for yourself!

Opening hours: open daily for brunch, lunch and dinner; 10am – 10.30pm.

“Definitely need to visit if you are staying in Paphos. Here for a moment you will feel yourself as in Italy for sure!”

Over Land and Sea with Jimmy’s Jeep Adventures

Over Land and Sea with Jimmy’s Jeep Adventures

over land and sea with jimmy's jeep adventures

A Day of sightseeing and fun

Not many Jeep Tour companies in Cyprus come as highly recommended as Jimmy’s Jeep Adventures, which is why they are our preferred partner for jeep tours. Jimmy and his team provide a really personal, friendly service and boast amazing local knowledge, making their tours both informative and fun. They’ll make sure you explore the best parts of Cyprus at the best times, beating the tourist rushes and sharing their love of the island with you along the way.

Jimmy’s Jeep Adventures offer a good variety of trips to choose from, and don’t forget, Aphroditerentals.com guests’ benefit from a fantastic 10% off bespoke tours; so make sure you get in touch with Jimmy to find out more information on those.

This post brings you information on the amazing ‘Over Land and Sea’ trip that offers a half day’s adventure by both Landrover and boat:

Stopping at Peyia Sea Caves / Edro Shipwreck for a photo opportunity, this trip then moves on to St Georges church and fishing harbour for a small explore around the picturesque area, and comfort break if you so wish, with time to buy a coffee/refreshment. Then the real fun begins, with off-road adventure through the stunning Akamas peninsula to Lara bay. Lara Bay is famously known for being where turtles lay their eggs, and is a great spot to learn about the local turtle conservation project – you might even be lucky enough to witness a live hatching!

From there the trip continues to a viewing point where both east and west coasts can be seen, then it’s down to a semi-abandoned Turkish-Cypriot village on the way to the baths of Aphrodite. A lunch stop at the pretty Latchi harbour is next; this is optional and food is not included in the trip price. A wonderful 3 hour boat trip to the incredible Blue Lagoon ensues, where approximately an hour is allocated to swimming and snorkelling in the crystal blue sea. A glass of wine or juice, and some seasonal fruit, is offered on board after this. After docking back in Latchi it’s time to make our way back to Paphos; another opportunity to marvel at this beautiful coastline.

Please note that the itinerary may be subject to change according to weather conditions.

“Ive had the pleasure to go join Jimmy on his Over Land and Sea Safari … absolutely highly recommended . This guy knows his stuff about Cyprus … a pleasure to tour with him and an adventure to say the least !”
