About Connections
Local in Paphos. International in experience.
Connections was established in 2019 and is based in Paphos. We are a local team: we live here, we know the district and the people who keep its properties running, and we are close by whenever one of them needs us.
Behind that local knowledge are many years of experience in property, here in Cyprus and across international markets in the UK, Europe and beyond. We know what owners abroad expect because we have worked to those standards ourselves, and we bring them to every home we look after.
Property management
Two ways to let your property. Both managed end to end.
Short-term letting for flexibility, or long-term letting for stability. We run either, and can switch as your plans change.
Short-term rental management
Professional holiday-rental management across the season. Our core service, and the route that supports the VAT reclaim on a new-build.
- Setup and launch
- Styling advice, furniture coordination, professional photography, listings on Airbnb, Booking.com and a direct-booking page, and self-catering licensing with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism.
- Revenue management
- Dynamic daily pricing, calendar and channel management, multi-platform distribution.
- Guest experience
- Screening, 24/7 communication, check-in and check-out, in-stay support, review management.
- Property care
- Cleaning and linen coordination, restocking, routine inspections, maintenance coordination, key-holding.
- Owner reporting
- Monthly statements, payout handling, VAT and accounting coordination.
Long-term rental management
A vetted tenant on an annual contract, fully managed. For owners who prefer predictability, or while a property waits for the right moment.
- Tenant placement
- Marketing, viewings, screening, tenancy agreement, deposit handling, move-in inventory.
- Ongoing management
- Rent collection, tenant point of contact, periodic inspections, maintenance coordination, renewals.
- Owner reporting
- Regular statements and one direct contact for anything the tenancy needs.
Additional and concierge services
Available alongside either model and arranged on request. Nothing is booked without your confirmation.
- For the property
- Furniture and turnkey setup, interior styling and photography, renovation and improvement management, utility set-up and transfers, insurance introductions.
- For absent owners
- Key-holding, inspections and concierge, and VAT-reclaim coordination with our accounting partner.
- For guests
- Welcome and orientation, welcome hampers, private chef, in-house massage, boat charter, airport transfers, provisioning and celebration styling.
All services are subject to a signed management agreement, which sets out the full terms for your property.

Which is right for you?
Most owners choose short-term letting for flexibility, or long-term letting for stability. We are happy to run either.
| Short-term (holiday) | Long-term (residential) | |
|---|---|---|
| Rental pattern | Individual holiday stays | One tenant, annual contract |
| Seasonality | Seasonal, with a summer peak | Year-round, even |
| Owner use | Yes, on agreed dates | No, during the tenancy |
| Management | Fully managed | Fully managed |
| VAT reclaim | Supported | Not supported |
Only short-term letting supports the VAT reclaim on a new-build. If you have already reclaimed, switching to a long-term let within the qualifying period can trigger a partial repayment. We always flag this before you decide.
Owner reporting
Every cost itemised. Every month.
Reporting starts from your first month of activity and runs to a fixed schedule.
- Monthly statement
- Issued every month, with every cost itemised at source and receipts enclosed.
- Everything on record
- Receipts, invoices, licences and inspection notes are shared with you and kept on file, ready whenever you ask.
- Nothing marked up
- Third-party costs such as repairs, utilities and platform charges are passed through exactly as billed.
Illustration of a monthly owner report: a calendar of the month’s guest stays and the owner’s own stay, the documents enclosed, and the care carried out on the property.

- Full access
- Ask for any document, booking detail or update at any time and you will have it. Your property’s records are yours to see.
- A direct line to us
- You deal with people who know your property personally and answer you directly, not a call centre or a ticket queue.
- Cared for like our own

VAT on new-build property
Get the VAT back on your new property.
A new-build bought as a rental investment carries 19% VAT. Under Cyprus’s short-term rental scheme, that VAT can be refunded to you, and we handle the process from start to finish.
Ask us about the VAT refundWhat the scheme offers
A refund of the VAT you paid on the purchase, when the property is run as licensed short-term accommodation through a professional management company.
What we take care of
Licensing, compliant management and the paperwork. Our partner accountants handle your registration, the returns and the refund claim itself.
What you commit to
Keeping the property in short-term rental management for the qualifying period. We walk you through the conditions before you decide.
General information, not tax or legal advice. Your position is confirmed by a licensed Cyprus tax adviser before you rely on it.
