Villas to let in Cyprus

Agios is now officially on the hunt for a new range of luxury villas to let in Cyprus.

Having now reached the final stages a new homepage layout, we are extending a number of our rental services to help make the experience of booking and enjoying a villa holiday in Cyprus, that much better. Villas will of course be subject to rigorous scrutiny to ensure we remain top of the pile in terms of presentation, quality of product and service.

Villas that will obviously be high on the wanted list, are villas close to beaches or at least the shoreline. Villas close to amenities and walking distance to restaurants with good food are also excellent options.

The topic of Cyprus Apartments always comes up and we will be changing the way we work for this. An apartment holiday in Cyprus is for folks who may not want something too large or too expensive. It’s due to the costs that we are unable to in good faith charge an owner a commission because it ends up pushing the apartment past market rates. Therefore if you have an apartment in Cyprus, for 100Euro per annum you can advertise your property on our website and receive enquiries directly from it.

So if you or anyone that you know has a villa or apartment that they need to rent out, please direct them to our villa rentals website. We will make every effort to assist and advise you on how bes to maximise your return on your property.

Cyprus – not an offshore tax haven jurisdiction

Cyprus is a reliable European Union and Euro-zone jurisdiction for conducting professional services and offshore activities.

The country maintains an excellent international reputation for conducting business.  With 10% corporate tax, Cyprus is the lowest tax jurisdiction in the European Union that is not offshore and has the lowest non-offshore jurisdiction corporate tax rate in the world.

Cyprus simply offers a host of financial advantages and benefits to companies and individuals. It can do so due to the sustaining a strong and stable economy (in relation to the country’s size) that almost completely focuses on professional services and the financial sector.

Cyprus offers an excellent infrastructure for such activities, such as legal and accounting firms and banking, highly educated, qualified and multilingual workforce, proper government regulations and a general policy of non-intervention in business operations.

Cyprus has excellent geopolitical and trading relationships with key source markets, which together with the ideal geographical location, is a principal choice for investments into many neighbouring markets, including the EU, Russia, CIS, as well as the Middle East and North Africa.

Reforms that positioned Cyprus as the ideal offshore jurisdiction

The offshore regime in Cyprus has changed drastically due to its EU accession, and as a result of agreements with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); certainly for the better.

Cyprus has transformed itself from being considered an offshore tax haven with a 4.25% corporate tax rate for grey-area businesses to a unique EU jurisdiction with a standardised tax rate of 10% – still the lowest tax rate in the EU.

Cyprus has successfully reformed all its financial sector legislation in line with international practice and has implemented a simplified, effective and transparent tax system which is fully compliant with the European Union, OECD, Financial Action Task Force (FATF), and Financial Stability Forum (FSF).

Since EU accession, Cyprus has harmonised local regulations to the Acquis Communautaire, allowing the country to further develop as a financial centre. Following these measures, Cyprus was placed on the OECD white list of territories which have substantially implemented the internationally agreed standard in tax transparency.

Other actions taken by Cyprus to boost its global recognition as a credible offshore jurisdiction includes:

  • It has made various tax reforms in order to bring its legislation in full conformity both with EU Laws and Directives and with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s guidelines.
  • Instantly implemented the EU Tax Directive, which includes a Code of Conduct on harmful tax practices and rules to avoid the double taxation of royalty and interest payments.
  • Adopted International Financial Reporting Standards.
  • Passed Anti Money Laundering legislation (Law 188(I)/2007), Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFiD), and Transparency Law and Anti Money Laundering Law.
  • Cyprus has made huge steps in structural reform, modernization, and liberalization of its market-oriented economy, with a view to enhancing international competitiveness.

New Villas in Cyprus

Agios is constantly looking to add new and exclusive Villas in Cyprus to its portfolio. As such we will be adding two very beautiful 3 bedroom villas in Latchi each with stunning sea views.

These villas are not located within walking distance of shops and amenities, they are secluded and private, and what’s more they are on an exclusive health farm complete with spa and Cyprus restaurants.

We’d like to invite you as well as all of our regular guests to check in with us within the next 10 days to get access to these villas that will come with a full spread of availability. As far as private Cyprus holidays go, these villas in Cyprus are the way forward and are a great way to enjoy some time in the Med.

Cyprus

Cyprus at its best

On a side note, as these villas are remote, we do offer an airport transfer service from either Paphos or Larnaca.

Energy cooperation between Cyprus and Israel. New era for the relation and cooperation levels of the two countries

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that important perspectives will occur through the cooperation between Cyprus and Israel in the hydrocarbon sector, during the joint press conference with President of Cyprus, Mr Demetris Christofias.

Mr. Netanyahu emphasized the need of cooperation, stating that this can be very helpful in the future because, as he pointed out, the research and the cooperation on multiple sectors at once is much more useful and efficient than working and investigating one sector at a time. He also pointed out that the outlook of this cooperation can positively affect the welfare of Cyprus and of the wider region as well.

In addition, Mr. Netanyahu noted that despite the fact that the flight from Israel to Cyprus takes only 45 minutes, “it took 63 years for an Israeli Prime talked about the strong bonds and Minister to visit the island.” He also talked about the strong bonds and relationship between the people of the two countries and how this relationship has developed during the last few years. He emphasized the need and importance of continuing and extending this cooperation in other areas as well as the energy sector.

Mr. Netanyahu thanked President Demetris Christofias for the hospitality and he expressed the hope that he will be able to fill in, in the future the gap of the 63 years which took for an Israeli Prime Minister to visit Cyprus.

On the other hand, President Demetris Christofias said that both Cyprus and Israel will work effectively aiming to use the hydrocarbon reserves which have been officially confirmed within the Exclusive Economic Zones of the two countries, aiming at the welfare of both the people of Cyprus and Israel.

The President of Cyprus noted that “contacts are already in progress in order to discuss the perspective plans” which he wished to “lead in the near future to concrete suggestions for promoting the bilateral agreements between the two countries.”

Referring to the first visit of an Israeli Prime Minister in Cyprus, President Christofias said that such a visit confirms the strong and high-level relationship between the two countries.

In relation to the signing of a bilateral agreement regarding the sectors of research and rescue services, President Christofias said that it is a tangible confirmation of the increased level of cooperation and development of this cooperation level with Israel.

Cyprus Villas, Holidays and what to expect

Coming to Cyprus and wondering what to expect. Apart from a range of thousands of luxury Cyprus Villas, Hotels and apartments, what else does the island have to offer?

Ok, so we’ll go through the normal motions and say the Cyprus Weather is great, something like 360 days of sunshine. Not so fast.

Firstly, it does rain in the winter, and quite alot. But this is a good thing right as the place would look pretty desolate if it didn’t. Some say that statistic is inferring 360 days where the sun shines for at least one during the day. Well, times have changed, so forget it. But what about the summer?

Cyprus

Cyprus – latchi boat yard

From about April through to October and sometimes into November, the weather is very favourable. If booking a holiday to Cyprus, April to June is mild weather, July to the end of Sept is very hot and Oct – Nov mild.

Food? Restaurants in Cyprus very in both quality and price. Make sure you get your hands on a decent food guide. Agios will be launching Eyeris soon which has a voice activated, interactive restaurant guide which will make the job of finding quality food in Cyprus much easier and fun.

Beaches? Most of the sandy beaches are located on the eastern side of the island, with Paphos and Latchi enjoying some shale and pebble beaches. It depends what you want really.

6 bedroom villas in cyprus

Getting your hands on 6 bedroom villas in cyprus when taking a holiday to the island is akin to finding snow in africa, rare but happens.

When you do find a villa with 6 bedrooms however, generally speaking, you have something that is of a fairly high standard.

Agios does enjoy having a presence on Aphrodite Hills as the 6 bedroom villas on this resort are magnificent. Boasting new build, contemporary design, sea views and easy acccess to amenities, these villas are quite literally the creme of the crop.

The really great thing about these villas is that they are
very economical per head, much cheaper than a hotel. Another handy thing is theu are great for geoups attending weddings in cyprus

Indeed many of the customers we have staying with us in these larger villas often return to the island regularly. These holidays appear to create a good villa experience for customers, and we hope you will enjoy a similar experience too.
