The Neighborhood:

Pano Platres is a historic and charming hill resort, mentioned among the 119 villages of the Limassol district dating back to the Lusignan Era (12th–15th century) and the Venetian Era (15th–16th century). Located just 5 km from Troodos, it offers a variety of services, restaurants, bars, cafés, grocery shops, and traditional souvenir stores.



The name Pano Platres (“Upper Plátres”) was adopted in recent years to distinguish it from the nearby village of Tornarides, now called Kato Platres (“Lower Plátres”), yet locals and visitors alike still refer to it simply as Platres.



Seasons & Experiences



Pano Platres offers two distinct experiences depending on the time of year. From May to late September, especially on weekends and during August, the village comes alive with visitors enjoying nature, open-air dining, and lively local culture. From October to late April, the area becomes a peaceful retreat, ideal for those seeking tranquillity, quiet mountain walks, and the beauty of nature in its full glory. While some restaurants and a supermarket remain open, the focus is on serenity and relaxation.



Through your guest portal, you’ll also have access to a local guidebook with tips, recommendations, and hidden gems to make your stay unforgettable.



Getting Around:

The property is located in the heart of Pano Platres, so you can easily walk to local restaurants, cafés, and shops, everything you need is right on your doorstep. For exploring the wider area, we recommend having a car, as bus services in the mountains are limited, though taxis are also available.



Once you book, you’ll receive a link to your guest portal with local recommendations, helpful tips, and detailed information on getting around to help you make the most of your stay.
