You may have seen on your travels, some of the great architectural buildings in the world, the Pyramids and the Sphinx, the Acropolis, Windsor Castle, to name just a few of the many great architectural structures, some of them built over 1000 years ago, and still standing today, and all built with stone.

Stone was one of the first building materials used by man, to build small stone houses to the mighty structures still standing today. It is one of the hardest and durable materials on earth. Scarifoza uses stone, which comes from local resources, to build their villas and village houses for many reasons, one already mentioned. We are aware of the environment and the history of Cyprus, and we wish to maintain and continue with that history, by building properties that will still be standing and lived in for hundreds of years to come.

Stone has many properties, it keeps the houses cool in summer and warm in winter, it has a calming and pleasing appearance, does not require any maintenance at all, will not crack and weathers beautifully

Scarifoza villas and houses will contribute to the history of Cyprus, by building our properties to blend in with the local landscapes, in villages where there are existing stone properties built centuries ago, and still lived in today.

All of the larger stones used in our villas are carefully and skilfully hand crafted by our skilled stone masons, and over 9000 stones are used for each house or villa creating properties of charm and character. Stone is long lasting, weather resistant and maintenance free, and pleasing to the eye.
