We popped into this Hotel as we were staying in Kalavassos and looking for somewhere to eat. Inadvertently, we had met member of staff Ariadne a couple of days previously when we were looking for our accommodation elsewhere in the Village. We popped in initially for a coffee and were made to feel most welcome by Kalliopi (hope I got that right!) We had coffee and played cards a while. Very comfortable. Very relaxing. Wish we had stayed here rather than in our accommodation which was sadly lacking. Kalliopi showed us a room. We genuinely wished we had stayed there. We booked for our meal that evening. Set choice. 3 courses. Very good food. Very reasonably priced. Would certainly go again. Would have no hesitation in staying there on another occasion.

We have Been there for the New year Gala Dinner. the set up of the tables was marvelous, very "chic". The menu was rich, the food was testy, very well cooked. It included a spinach and cauliflower cream soup, Greek salad, 3 options of main course dessert.

Check in on a Friday during winter - room was absolutely freezing. Had paid for junior suite so there was fireplace but wood was extra 10 euros which felt like you were getting nickel and dimed. Even with fire and split unit room couldn’t warm up. They did accommodate us and change the room after we complained but not a good first impression. Hotel is tired. The bones for a lovely place are there but it is clear management aren’t reinvesting in hotel - leaking faucet on bathroom sink, no slippers robes etc provided and towels small old and greyed - did not give the feeling of being pampered. No attempt to just add that special touch to your stay. Positives - Maria the receptionist/bar maid was lovely and Massage was lovely.

The rooms and spa facilities were very clean, spacious and nicely decorated! The bed and pillows are very comfortable. (Attention: bring an eye mask if you are sensitive to daylight as there are no darkening curtains in the entire room). All the rooms have either jacuzzi or raining shower or both (depending if you get suite or standard room). The village as well as the hotel are very peaceful which makes it ideal for relaxation and recovery from stress and work. The room prices as well as the spa prices are very reasonable for such a hotel. The breakfast offers all essentials and there are plenty of choices in the dinner menu as well. Strongly recommended for solo travellers, couples, hen's parties (for relaxation) or friends looking for relaxing. All health and safety measures were taken for us to enjoy a pleasant holiday.

Wellness Retreat

Potamonde Wellness Baths
Mud Steam Baths
In the mud steam bath, guests sit on the anatomic seats. As the first shots of steam fill the room with aromas from Cyprus spring blossom, a gentle over-warming begins with rubbing of natural mud earths on the skin. The strengthens skin layers, influences muscle tone and stimulates the metabolism       

The Herbal Baths 
The herbal baths is a mild steam bath with increasing warmth and humidity. Special Steam shots guarantee safe over-warming at intervals, particularly in the spinal area. As fragrances of Cyprus medical herbs fill the room, guests experience a wonderful relaxation of body and soul.

Health treatments       
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well. It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage and the heated stones help tight muscles release.
       
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is done with the person covered by a sheet, a technique called “draping”. One part of the body uncovered, massaged, and then covered up before moving on to another part of the body. This full body massage uses a firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility and create relaxation.
       
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage is a deep tissue massage therapy using essential oils. This special treatment relieves muscle tension and pain, increases flexibility and mobility and eliminates lactic acid and other waste, which reduces pain and stiffness in muscles and joints.
       
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage can relieve stress and minor muscle pain, using firm strokes and pressure to release deep tension in the muscles.
       
Foot and Leg massage 30 minutes
After a long flight, guests might feel swollen in the legs and feet, so enjoy a wonderful relaxing massage to release the tension.
       
Trigger point Therapy
Trigger point is one of the great discoveries of Western bodywork and is the basic techniques such as neuromuscular therapy (NMT). The primary characteristic of a trigger point (also known as a knot) is pain. Trigger point can cause local pain and may also cause referred pain in a predictable zone of reference, unique to each muscle. This means that the pain can come from a region distant from the affected area. Correct treatment brings blood to the area and flushes toxins away.

Body Scrub
As people develop new skin every 6 weeks it is very important to exfoliate and take care of the body and skin.
       
Inch Reducing Body Wrap (recommended course of 5 treatments)
Body wrapping is a very popular technique used increasingly by modern therapists to help achieve inch loss, cellulite reduction and to give increased confidence. The body wrap method works by transporting excess water from fatty tissues where it is eliminated naturally by the body’s own system. This is an excellent treatment to lose inches with a controlled diet. The results are amazing!

Healthy Facial Care
Deep Cleansing Facial
A complete deep cleansing nourishing and revitalizing treatment that purifies, soothes and rejuvenates congested skin, restoring the skin’s natural minerals & moisture level.      

Clay Mask Facial
Designed to combat ageing of the skin through deep cleaning and exfoliation with nourishing clay. Rich in calcium and magnesium, when turned into a dry mask the clay works to lift the skin. Once the mask is removed, silts and natural rashers of red algae are applied to the face and neckline to improve the skin’s texture and vitality. The result is improved skin tone and progressive decrease in wrinkles.
       
Galvanic Facial
This is a unique facial where manual massaging is replaced by a Galvanic gadget which gives out vibrations that help in the better flow of blood in the facial muscles. It has certain active ingredients that act as cleansers and help retain the smoothness and suppleness of the skin. Galvanic facial also helps in cleaning the clogged pores in the skin and helps in reducing the oil secretion by the sebaceous glands which in turn helps in keeping away the formation of acne and other skin related ailments.
       
Direct High Frequency Facial
The high frequency current generates warmth in the skin and stimulates the nerve endings. This in turn increases blood circulation and metabolism in the area which eventually dries, refines and heals the skin. Suitable for troubled and oily complexion.
       
Indirect High Frequency Facial

Used in conjunction with facial massage to produce a stimulating, nourishing treatment suitable for dehydrated and maturing skins by replacing oxygen and nutrients to cell tissues.
