The Well House is a 3 bedroom villa in Ozankoy, a small peaceful village set back from the coast and just 10 mins drive away eastwards from the harbour town of Kyrenia. The house totals 230 square metres and is set in a double plot with private 12x5m pool and professionally landscaped gardens and orchard. All 3 large double bedrooms have their own balconies and stunning sea or mountain views over 300 year old olive groves. The Well House was completed in 2004 but already has the feel of a more established property. It is beautifully furnished throughout with a mixture of traditional Karpas furniture and modern fittings. Pale honey coloured marble floors and open plan downstairs living areas give a feeling of space and uncluttered living extending to exterior terraces, pergola and patios for dining and relaxing. Many lovely restaurants, beaches and places to visit within a few mins drive. Fully air conditioned, central heating during winter months. Favoured east side of Kyrenia.

Outside
The Well House is set in an unusually large plot with private off-road parking, gated driveway and bougainvillea covered stone walls. The garden has been professionally landscaped with extensive terraces and patios, orchard and planting areas surrounding a private 12x5m swimming pool. There is a most attractive pergola covered in wisteria and jasmine with a stone table and BBQ for alfresco eating. Low terracotta coloured stone walls surround the nine 300 year old olive trees and the covered working well. Ample upholstered quality sun loungers and sun umbrellas are set out for lazing by the pool.
Coast/Beach
There are scores of beaches within easy driving distance of The Well House. Our favourites are the un-spoilt Algardi Turtle Beach (small cafe and showers but no sun bed facilities), Vogue Beach and Acapulco Beach (full facilities, pools and restaurants). There is also a small natural cove, just a 10 minute walk away.
Golf
Korineum Golf and Country Club opened in January 2007 and is a splendid facility, tucked away in the foothills of the Five Finger Mountain range. The course is situated to the east of Kyrenia, a 20 minute drive from the The Well House, past Esentepe and Alagadi Beach. The club consists of a par 72 course with 18 challenging international-standard holes. Further facilities include driving range, pro shop, Korenium golf academy (further 3 academy holes), fitness centre, spa, hairdresser, massage and beauty facilities, sauna, meeting rooms and excellent bars and restaurants overlooking the course. Well House visitors interested in playing golf may take advantage of half price rounds which need to be booked in advance. Details on request.

Guest comments
'The house and garden had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday in a spacious and elegant villa. The mature garden with its many terraces, large pool, old olive trees and mountain views was a truly romantic place.' Jamieson family July 2007
'We had a fabulous family holiday at The Well House this summer. The house was beautiful and spacious but we all spent most of our time outside in the pool and garden or visiting the surrounding area. The open air evening BBQs, family eating round the stone table and late night water polo in the lighted pool were unforgettable' - The Tennant family, July 2005.
'We could not believe our eyes when we first arrived and saw the large pool and magnificent garden. The property is truly magnificent, very spacious, furnished very tastefully and with every creature comfort thought of and provided for.' Haines family June 2006
