Petit Palais Platres Boutique Hotel

Our stay at this boutique hotel was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The staff weren’t just friendly, they were warm and caring. They made our family feel at home, and we had some great conversations that gave us a real sense of their dedication to the hotel and the area. Their kindness, especially with our kids, created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The food was outstanding. We loved the authentic Cypriot dishes, but there was something for every taste, and everything was prepared with such quality and care. Our family room was beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and full of thoughtful details that made our stay extra comfortable. Beyond just a hotel, this place is run by people who genuinely care, not only about their guests but also about developing and contributing to the community. We truly admire their vision and wish them all the best with their projects in the area.

A wonderful warm welcome was had as soon as we entered reception. We didn’t have a booking and we were shown options of rooms available by an extremely helpful gentleman.After a complementary drink we went to our room which has a spectacular view and a small balcony to sit on . The room had everything that we needed and a very powerful shower . Breakfast was a variety of cold meats , yogurts , buffet style cooked and also omelettes . The lady that showed us to our table and we are sorry we can’t remember her name Was so helpful and explained to us about the different sweetened fruits that were on the buffet to try for example , sweetened bergamot, walnuts , grapes etc. We will definitely return one day .

Excellent service by the staff of the hotel, especially by those working at the bar and restaurant. The personnel are all experienced and deliver high quality of service. Overall, the place is ideal for relaxation, entertainment with friends, food and drinks. Highly recommended.

Apart from its prime location in the top mountain resort of Platres, the quality of service and the culinary delights offered were both top notch, highly recommended. The hotel is a retreat to be considered like a home away from home. Friendly and welcoming staff and the recent renovation brought the experience to a refreshing level for what can best be described as a breath of fresh air in the beautiful platres forest.

We visited the hotel for lunch thus this review only involves the restaurant food and not the stay or amenities. As our visit was in January we ordered a Beef Consommé soup. To our disappointment the soup was very blunt tasted more like boiled water instead of stock or broth. To top things up the soup was a very very small portion. Considering the soups was priced at 15.50 euros per person we were unfortunately disappointed by the Kitchen at our visit. Would recommend reconsidering menu pricing and reevaluating some of the dishes.

To be honest, I visited the hotel’s restaurant for a lunch, so I am not allowed to have an opinion regarding the hotel’s amenities and stay. We visited on a Saturday, 3 people. Food was tasty, portions were generous, staff was polite BUT the pricing was… over the top. We ordered a salad for starter (€18.50), 2 main dishes (a trout for €29.50 and a chicken for €24.50), 1 bottle of water (€3.00) and 2 glasses of local wine (€9.00 each). I consider myself a real traveller, visiting every year (repeatedly) a few of the most beautiful cities in Europe -from Paris, to Rome and Athens. When I travel I always visit traditional, cute places to amazing Michelin star restaurants so as to have different culinary experiences. I don’t mind spending a lot of money if there is a reason (for example if the chef is a superstar, if the restaurant is Michelin awarded, if the view is the best in the city -obviously you have to pay more if your view is Eiffel Tower or London Eye, etc) BUT I found the prices at Palais Perite insanely high -considering you are having a lunch at a small village in the Cyprus mountains. Nothing can justify the prices and the only reason I am posting this, is not because I want to give a bad review. That would have been unfair. The only reason I am writing all of the above, is simply to give the management some… food for thought. 🤍
