Salvador Dali, one of the most gifted and certainly most influential artists to ever grace the earth with the brilliance of his vision, once famously declared: “have no fear of perfection – you will never reach it”. Had he been alive today the Spanish eccentric would have no option but to drive a thick pin into his ego and admit that the masterminds behind the Boutique Residence project have indeed managed the impossible: that is to come as close as humanly possible to the ever evasive ...

Cyprus is a sun-drenched, island state where nearly everyone speaks English, they drive on the left, the legal system is based on the British model, and one can still find th...

Cyprus has much to offer all year round. The summer period spans from May to October although you find people swimming as late as November and as early as April. The hottest time is during July/August when the temperature can reach up to 35°. If that’s too hot, a more refreshing climate can be found up in the hills and The Troodos mountain range, which is great for hiking and picnics or simply just chilling out. The island is also rich in history and culture, which is more than 9,000 years...

As a divided land, Cyprus has a strange relationship with international trade. Whilst the whole of the nation is recognised by other European Union states as the Republic of Cyprus, the Greek south of the island is seen as a free trade area, while the Turkish north is considered its military controlled neighbour. Under the watchful eye of the EU, the north has no direct trade links with any other European nation and is recognised as a nation in itself only by Turkey. This may change as EU mem...

Buying a home in Cyprus is extremely easy. In fact, it’s a bit too easy. The whole process from viewing to signing contracts can happen in a matter of days. This quick buying process is great for those of us who know what we want and want it now; however signing a contract that obligates you to pay £80,000 to £500,000+ is not something that should be done in haste!
