Cypriot heritage and hospitality in the Troodos hills

New Helvetia Hotel

We’re a century-old, family-run hotel tucked among the pines above the Kaledonia Falls — a peaceful retreat with deep roots. In 2024, we were honoured to become the first hotel in Cyprus awarded the Historic Hotel of Cyprus label. Stay with us to experience vintage charm, forest air, and a true sense of place, past and present.

Tucked into the forests above the Kaledonia Waterfalls in the Troodos Mountains, we’re a century-young, family-run hotel with quiet grandeur and genuine hospitality. In 2024, we became the first hotel in Cyprus to receive the Historic Hotel of Cyprus label — an honour that reflects our heritage and the thoughtful modern comforts we now offer.

In 2025, following a major renovation, our rooms, public spaces and dining areas were carefully refreshed — so you’ll enjoy up-to-date amenities within our historic walls. We offer a range of accommodation, from classic doubles and triples to two-storey maisonette suites and family studios — each with heating, Wi‑Fi, and touches like private balconies or deep bathtubs.

Guests can relax with a drink at the Pine Tree Bar — where a 250-year-old pine grows through the roof — or dine on the terrace at the Veranda restaurant, surrounded by forest views.

Step outside and the Troodos Mountains unfold: waterfalls, trails, cycling, even ski slopes in season. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, you’ll find history, beauty and heartfelt hospitality waiting.

Occasions to Remember

Some of the highlights of staying at our historic house

RESTAURANT

Our Veranda Food & Wine Restaurant offers Mediterranean dishes on an open-air terrace with sweeping views of the Platres Forest — a peaceful setting for long, leisurely meals. Inside, the Main Restaurant begins each day with a generous breakfast buffet, including a Cyprus corner celebrating local flavours. Lunch and dinner feature a mix of Cypriot and international favourites, served with warm hospitality and a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Dining here is relaxed, scenic and full of flavour.

SPECIAL OCCASIONS

Set against the tranquil backdrop of the Troodos Mountains, our hotel offers a memorable setting for weddings and special celebrations. The spacious front terrace is perfect for evening ceremonies, with professional lighting, catering, and photography all available. Inside, vintage-style décor and a 250-year-old pine tree in the lobby create a warm, one-of-a-kind atmosphere — the perfect blend of nature, history and heartfelt hospitality for your big day.

BAR

At the heart of our Pine Tree Bar stands a 250-year-old pine tree, growing up through the roof — a living reminder of the hotel’s unique character. With its original brick fireplace, vintage photographs and cosy corners, it’s the perfect spot to unwind. Enjoy a glass of wine from our family’s collection, settle into a sofa, and soak up the warm, nostalgic spirit that makes this place so special. Saturdays always bring a little extra buzz.
