Hello Dodger / Keith



The Villa Hotel changed hands just under 2 months ago. Glenn & Sue are now the owners and are making lots of changes and improvements to the building.



They already have a new chef, the kitchens are about to be ripped out & re built and the bar is moving very soon to separate it from the restaurant. The accommodation is being spruced up and a few more rooms are now available.



Cengis is still the manager and is extremely excited, he is determined to turn the Hotel into one of the best restaurants in North Cyprus.



As far as I know the prices haven't gone up, judging by how busy the hotel is getting every night I would say that this isn't the case. We eat up there at least once a week and haven’t noticed any changes.



It has been an excellent venue for the Rugby world cup but has always been when Greg was the owner. It was always a pleasure to win a pint off him when Scotland lost. Personally, I wish Greg & Margaret all the best in retirement and hope they can finally put their feet up.
