Picolo recommends · Hotel in Paphos, Cyprus
Annabelle
Water tumbles into the pools between the palms, the staff know the routine, and the harbour lights are a gentle stroll along the promenade.
The first thing you hear is water. Annabelle's gardens are thick with palms, and the pools are fed by small waterfalls that keep the place cool and quiet in the afternoon heat. Inside, the decor leans towards warm tones and a more formal kind of hotel.
It shares the seafront with Almyra, on the promenade that leads to the harbour. In the evening the walk takes you past fish restaurants into town, and the archaeological park with its mosaics is only minutes further on.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Annabelle
We picked Annabelle for travellers who like a hotel that knows exactly what it is. The service is attentive and unhurried, the restaurant is a reason to stay in, and the promenade puts Paphos within easy reach every evening.
This is not the place for a modern look or a lively family pool. The atmosphere is calm and a little traditional, so families with young children and lovers of contemporary design will be happier at Almyra.
