This Venus Beach renovation took a dated studio apartment in Kato Paphos back to its shell and rebuilt it from the ground up – new electrics and plumbing, a fitted kitchen, a brand-new wet room, hard-wearing floors and a private outdoor garden. It is now a turnkey holiday rental, listed on Booking.com.

The Venus Beach Renovation Brief
The brief was straightforward: turn a dated, closed-in studio into a bright, low-maintenance rental that photographs well and cleans quickly between guests. That meant dealing with everything that is expensive to fix later – electrics, plumbing and waterproofing – before a single tile was laid.
Every trade involved was in-house rather than subcontracted, so the sequence of works ran without the usual gaps between trades. That covered electrical works, plumbing works, drywalls, painting & final finishes, carpentry and the garden.
What Was Done
Strip-out and preparation
- Removal of the old kitchen, sanitary ware and tired fixtures
- Structural and moisture checks, with walls and openings made good
- Waste removal and protection of the shared access route
Electrical works
- Full rewire with a new consumer unit and dedicated circuits
- Points for oven, hob, water heater and air conditioning
- LED and dimmable lighting, plus TV and data wiring
Plumbing and the new wet room
- New pipework and drainage with isolating valves and a new water heater
- Tanked waterproofing beneath the shower and across the whole bathroom
- Concealed cistern, wall-hung vanity and a low-profile tray for easy cleaning
Fitted kitchen
- Fitted units with soft-close drawers, laid out to make the most of a compact footprint
- Integrated oven and ceramic hob, undercounter fridge and washing machine
- Easy-clean splashback and task lighting
Floors, walls and finishes
- Large-format porcelain floor tiles throughout for durability and resistance to hard water
- Marble-effect tiling to the bathroom and walk-in shower
- Re-skim, priming and washable paint in a warm, neutral palette
Storage, furnishing and staging
- Fitted wardrobe and open shelving for linen, crockery and glassware
- Dining for two, a comfortable sofa-bed and blackout blinds
- Fully furnished and accessorised, ready for the first guests
Outdoor space
- Artificial lawn and low-maintenance planting
- A private courtyard with bistro set, parasol and sun loungers
- Exterior lighting and new external surfaces
The Result
A bright, hard-wearing studio that photographs well and is simple to run as a short-term rental – a short walk from Venus Beach, the harbour and the restaurants of Kato Paphos.
