Renting an Affordable Villa
Many villas in Cyprus are affordable. However, there are several factors to consider if you are thinking of renting the entire house at an affordable price.

Villa area. Consider the size. A house with a total area of 100 square meters, but with several bedrooms, won’t cost a lot of money. It would be a good choice for small families.

Villas on the third line. These villas are close to the sea but not directly facing the Mediterranean. They will be significantly cheaper than the houses on the first and second lines. Distance from the sea is always an important factor. Staying in such a villa is good for another reason. You will always be away from the crowds. Cyprus attracts a lot of tourists so the popular locations can get crowded. However, you can still reach the places you want to visit by car quickly.

Rent without intermediaries. Many people make the mistake of renting through a real estate agency. You will always end up paying more.

So it is better for these people to work with a specialist.

You have to pay the rent to the villa owner once a month or several months in advance. Also, it is absolutely essential to draw up an agreement, where everything should be clearly mentioned in detail. If you don’t speak the language well (Greek or English), then contact a company that has been doing such transactions for several years.

Villa Rental Price
The villa rental price varies depending on the length of your contract. For instance, if you are renting for vacation, then the cost will be calculated daily. It will also include the cleaning costs. A small villa beside the sea may cost you 60 euros a day in the off-season. But the same property will cost one and a half to two times more during the peak season. The price is cheaper in the hills.

Long-term rent, of course, will be significantly more economical. The monthly rental price will be around 800-1000 euros. But this does not include utility costs. You will have to clean the premises yourself.

Buying an Affordable Villa
Most people buy real estate in Cyprus for two reasons. For taking up permanent residence and to get Cypriot citizenship.
