Just returned from a week at the Lapida Hotel. We chose this hotel because we liked the idea of a family run small hotel and not some impersonal hotel complex. Fethi and his mother Mary were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them or their staff. The garden was packed with fruit trees and other produce... More

We have recently returned from our first visit to Northern Cyprus. We wanted to stay in a small, friendly hotel and to have a relaxing time. Our choice of the Lapida hotel ticked all the boxes. Our host, Fethi, his wonderful mother Mary and all the staff could not do enough for us. We where made to feel very much... More

What a magical place! Fethi and his mother Mary are so very warm, caring and kind. We had an amazing tour day with Fethi and then were treated to the most marvelous meal! We have never seen such an array of sumptuous food - all prepared by Mary! (You know the food is good when the locals eat there!). If... More

We travelled to Northern Cytprus with the Discovery Collection, which is a boutique travel agency specialising in 'different' trips. Visited this hotel in March 2013, for a cookery course with Mary, the owner's mum. It's a lovely well kept place with a garden stuffed with an amazing variety of fruit trees. Fethi the owner is a brilliant chap, who arranged... More

Family run hotel as described by other reviewers. Good location - secluded (so a car is essential) and quiet. We stayed as a party of 4 adults and 3 kids (aged 6-11); the pool was more than big enough for the size of the hotel, and is where the kids spent most of the time. The hotel has lovely mature...

Nothing was too much trouble for Fethi, the owner, and his mother, Mary, in making us feel welcome and ensuring a memorable stay. Our room was quiet and comfortable with lovely views. We travelled with Discovery Collection and stayed on a half board basis. The food was delicious with good variety during the week. We had cookery lessons given by... More

I am sorry to write a "bad" report on a property, but feel I have been deceived by my trusting of so many positive, glowing reports. My expectations were high after having read so many good reviews on this site. Yes, the manager and his mother are welcoming and the gardens are beautiful. For me, this is where the positive... More

In essence it is difficult to fault this "hotel" on the basic principal that it is cheap and should actually only really be considered as a guest house. The son and mother team who run Lapida obviously take great pride in their hospitality and this is clearly evident from the minute you meet them and are warmly greeted and made... More

The hotel, as the other reviews say, is firmly family run. We went last week in Oct when it was quiet but the weather still fine in the day and cool enough to have the log fire going in the evenings. The pool and garden are fantastic as is the view up to the mountains. The rooms are a bit... More
