Library Hotel and Wellness Resort

Now that it's cooler on the island, there is nothing better than a weekend getaway to unspoilt, picturesque villages either for a day out or an overnight stay. One such place worth visiting is Kalavasos, which is easy to reach from Nicosia, Larnaca and Limassol thanks to its central location. With its collection of restored buildings, ruins of neolithic settlements nearby as well as Agios Minas monastery and the copper mine, there is lots to explore.






For the less adventurous though, you can spend a lazy afternoon at the Library Hotel and Wellness Resort - its lounge area is also a library which apart from the obvious, also has comfy couches and wonderfully ornate antiques and restored furniture that all work well together.

Upon my visit there, the hot chocolate was delish and they served free cake to all the visitors too. After many years of work in the hotel industry in Austria, the Greek chef of Mitos restaurant provides a selection of local favourites, from zucchini balls (kolokithokeftedes) to roast lamb. If you're interested in an overnight stay, their luxury rooms start at 110 euros for the night.
