“A beautiful traditional guesthouse full of charm!”
This place is a little gem, so beautiful and charming, definitely the best in Lofou! The staff were very efficient and welcoming, the food was simply delicious and we enjoyed a nice stroll through the village. The taxi driver who they booked for us to take us back to Larnaca airport was great. Such a nice guy! If this is an area you want to explore I highly recommend Apokrypho, the drive to Lofou is also quite scenic on the winding roads in the mountains.

“Excellent stay - we're sure to be back soon!”
The welcome was very warm and friendly. The dinner was excellent, and the staff very friendly again. We stayed at Lavender, one of the smaller rooms, and still enjoyed it: a well-proportioned and well-appointed room with a private balcony and very quiet.

“A beautiful and amazing place offering amazing hospitality”
A beautiful place - you can tell that it was a Labour of love between an interior designer and an architect. The hospitality was also amazing. We were made very welcome and loved the traditional Cypriot family cooking too. They even catered really well for food intolerances too!

Super helpful and friendly staff despite a language barrier. Very comfortable bed and good sized room with lots of extras included ie shampoo, coffee, fruit and wine. The food was freshly cooked, very generous quantities and therefore excellent value for money.

“Nice hotel with very kind staff, but the room cleanliness did not match the high price.”
The reception was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The lady in the kitchen was especially kind to the children. The traditional breakfast was satisfactory and suited the style of the mountain stone hotel.

We stayed at Apokryfo Traditional Guesthouse and had a truly wonderful experience. We arrived in the afternoon and were warmly welcomed with a lit fireplace and a glass of hot wine — a perfect and comforting start after our journey. The guesthouse has a small, intimate spa, which was exactly what we needed to relax after a long drive on our flight day. It added a deep sense of calm and care to the stay. The breakfast was excellent, made with fresh, high-quality local ingredients. It was served as a buffet by the pool, accompanied by the soothing sounds of flowing water and birdsong. Beautiful, unique trees and well-maintained gardens surround the area — beauty and tranquility in every direction. The atmosphere felt truly healing. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the private balcony was an absolute pleasure — a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We stayed for only one night, but the experience was unforgettable. The village itself is one of the most beautiful in Cyprus, and this guesthouse is simply magical. Tastefully designed, elegant without being overdone, and full of charm. We visited in winter, which made the stay especially peaceful and quiet. The food was delicious, communication was pleasant and attentive, and walking through the village felt almost legendary. Wonderful service, warm-hearted staff, and an overall exceptional experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Apokryfo Traditional Guesthouse.
