Ithaki House – Meladeia Village/Cyprus
Property Management / Bookings Management / Marketing
Embarking on this journey into hospitality was born out of necessity; it was our means to transform our cherished dream of a holiday home into a reality. The need for our property to sustain itself financially pushed us into this realm. However, little did I know that fate had something extraordinary in store for me.
It was love at first sight when I laid eyes on this property, a moment etched in my memory: 29 November 2016. Accompanied by my Dad, we ventured to view a house for sale in Meladeia, a quaint village of just 20 inhabitants near my father’s birthplace. Meladeia holds a special place in my heart, as it’s close to my own childhood haven, Steni, where I spent blissful summers with my ‘yiayia’ (grandmother).
Welcoming guests into our home has become an immensely fulfilling experience. Our journey in hospitality has become a destiny I wholeheartedly embrace.
Through dedicated efforts in marketing, social media, and the power of word-of-mouth, I have meticulously crafted a long-term image for Ithaki House. Each post, every interaction, and every recommendation shared has contributed to building a reputation that stands the test of time. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to do what I love and receive such heartfelt response.
The HideAway – Lasa Village/Paphos
Properties Management / Bookings Management / Marketing
In October 2022, I was introduced to Christina, the passionate owner of HideAway, by a mutual friend. Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Lasa, her rustic home has been transformed into a truly unforgettable short-term holiday paradise.
myLofou – Lofou/Limassol
Property Staging / Business Start – Up
In October 2020, I had the pleasure of meeting Georgia, a homeowner with a breathtaking property nestled in the charming village of Lofou. Eager to transform her house into a captivating short-term rental, Georgia faced the daunting task of renovation. With a blank canvas before us, she sought guidance on where to begin. We were introduced by a mutual friends, and from that moment on, there was no looking back!
Together, we assembled a dedicated team and embarked on a transformative journey. We meticulously renovated Georgia’s home, preserving its unique charm and character while tailoring it specifically for short-term holiday rentals. By defining the ideal customer base, implementing a strategic pricing approach, and skillfully listing the property on various online platforms as well as creating her own website (www.mylofou.com), we laid the foundation for success.
I’m thrilled to share that Georgia is now not only the proud owner of a stunning short-term rental but also a confident and knowledgeable host. Her property, now known as myLofou, stands as a testament to our collaborative effort.
Angie's Paw-sitive Project
We’re excited to introduce Angie’s Pawsitive Project (launched May 2024)—an initiative inspired by our love for animals and supported by our wonderful guests. As pet owners and hosts of a dog-friendly holiday home, we’ve always been passionate about helping animals in need. With our guests’ input, we’ve created a way to extend that support.
Before check-out, we invite guests to leave any spare change in a donation box at our properties. Since coins can’t often be exchanged at banks, this is a perfect way to help! All money collected goes directly to local animal shelters, and donations are announced on our page.
The project has grown quickly, with other amazing organizations joining us, including HideAway Holiday Home, MyLofou, Studio Figura Strovolos, and Ithaki House. In just two months, we’ve raised nearly €300, which has been used to support Hope for Homeless, provide dog food donations, and contribute to cat care in Steni.
We welcome other organizations to join us in making a difference. Your support helps spread love and care, one paw at a time.
We Love Steni Facebook Page
The We Love Steni Facebook page was originally created by my dear friend Carrie King, whose love for this charming village has only grown over the past 10 years that she’s called Steni her home. Recognizing its beauty and warmth, she wanted to create a space where everyone who shares a passion for Steni could connect, share, and celebrate what makes it so special.
Carrie asked me to join her in this effort, and together with Elias Lambides, we’ve formed our very own “Steni’s Angels” (yes, like Charlie’s Angels!). We’re dedicated to bringing the magic of Steni to life on this page, from sharing local stories and events to shining a light on the village’s hidden gems.
Our mission is simple: to keep the spirit of Steni alive and vibrant by connecting the community and celebrating the village my dad loved so dearly. We hope that everyone who visits We Love Steni will feel the same warmth and passion that drew us here in the first place.
So, whether you’re a local or a visitor who’s fallen in love with Steni, we invite you to join us on this journey—and maybe even become an honorary Steni’s Angel yourself! Do like our page WeLoveSteni and let's connect!
Steni Classic Car Weekend Show!
The Car Show Weekend is a collaborative effort aimed at creating memorable experiences and fostering community spirit. We are deeply grateful to the Paphos Classic Car Club for their invaluable support and to Carrie King from Cyprus Escapes, whose enthusiasm and dedication have been essential in bringing this event to life.
Special thanks go to Petrolina for their generous financial support, which has been crucial for making this event possible. We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to Chryso Lefou and Stephen Haughan, who are contributing their time and expertise without compensation.
As a non-profit event, our focus is on creating a shared experience that reflects the same dedication and attention to detail that we apply to all our endeavors. Our goal is to ensure that the Car Show Weekend leaves a meaningful and lasting impression on everyone who attends.
