Win with Pafilia Rentals & Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Cyprus & take part in the Carnival & Green Monday celebrations

This year Valentine’s in Cyprus will be a special opportunity to enjoy not only a romantic Valentine’s, but also the traditions in Cyprus as the date falls this year at the same time as the Carnival and Green Monday.  Pafilia Rentals offers one lucky couple the opportunity to win 3 night’s accommodation in Cyprus in a luxurious designer penthouse with panoramic sea views.  On Valentine’s evening a stretch Limousine will collect them for a very special ride with champagne served on board (courtesy of Jack & Sons Transport Services), on the way to a romantic dinner at a fine dining Italian restaurant in Pafos (courtesy of   La Spaghetteria). For a chance to win, all they will need to do is go to the PafiliaRentals website before 10th February 2010, click on the Valentine’s day competition banner and fill out their contact details, mentioning “Secret Valentine”.

On Saturday the 13th, there are costumed carnival parties and at lunchtime on the 14th there is the option to go to a Grand Carnival Parade, followed in the evening by dinner at a romantic restaurant.  On Monday 15th February is Green Monday, which marks the beginning of Lent and is when Cypriots go with their families out into the fields, cook seafood and vegetables (no meat, or dairy), drink and wander from group to group chatting, sharing food and flying kites.

According to Marc Debieuvre, rentals manager at Pafilia, “The Carnival and Green Monday are always a very enjoyable time to be in Cyprus.  There is so much to do and see, with people walking around in costumes and everyone just enjoying life.”

Pafilia Rentals is also offering special accommodation packages for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend, starting at a total of €.282 for 3 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment and a Valentine’s dinner at La Spaghetteria to the same package in a beachfront luxury 3 bedroom villa with for just €538 in total.

Overall, Pafilia has nearly 150 villas, town houses and apartments available in the popular tourist destinations of Pafos, Polis, Latchi and Limassol, all of which can be booked online at PafiliaRentals.

Marc Debieuvre discussed the Pafilia Rentals concept, “The key to everything is simplicity.  Customers want us to make life easy for them.  If they wake up on Wednesday morning and decide they want to come to Cyprus the following day, all they need to do is find a flight and then it takes no time at all to arrange their accommodation online with us.  They have the option of booking a rental car, which we can arrange to be at the airport when they arrive or for a taxi to pick them up.  We are also on hand to provide advice such as excursions or places to eat.”

All the properties are near the sea, feature communal or private swimming pools and are within easy reach of amenities.  Cyprus is very popular for holiday rentals with its 340 days sunshine a year, the cleanest sea in Europe, blue flag beaches, rich cultural history, low crime rate, restaurants, bars, sports activities and the famous Cypriot hospitality.  It is highly likely that on the plane, you will be sat next to someone who is on their 10th trip to Cyprus, as people fall in love with the island and return time and again.

By booking through Pafilia Services, you have the security of a large company with a wealth of back up services.  These include property, communal area, swimming pool and garden maintenance, cleaning, laundry and car hire.  Most of the staff have extensive hospitality experience and speak numerous languages including English, Russian, German and Italian.  It is the sister company to Pafilia Property Developers, which has over 30 years experience in developing high quality homes in Cyprus and Greece, and provides ongoing services to all of Pafilia’s customers, including rentals.
