Tranquillity in the mountains. This would be our third time at Gillham Vineyard Hotel. It is just magical!
This is ideal for couples who want peace and tranquillity with the most spectacular views high up in the mountains.
The breakfast and dinner is exceptional, our compliments to the chef! All the staff are so helpful and professional and genuinely care about your experience and will go above and beyond for you.
The vineyard tour and wine tasting is a real treat. We always treat ourselves to a bottle of red, white and rose. It's one of best wines we've had :)
There's entertainment in the wine bar at least once during the weekend. It's very carefully selected to suit the location and guests.
When you arrive, you really feel like you are home. You can kick back and relax and soak in the wonderful atmosphere and we just can't wait to come back again. Thank you everyone for making this a true gem in beautiful North Cyprus. .

Gillham Restaurant Dining quality has gone down. Went to dinner at the main restaurant for a friends birthday celebration .
We are regular guests at the wine bar, for Jazz concerts and have eaten many times at the restaurant. Ok it was a Monday night, only two other tables were busy. The atmosphere is drab, no music. In the old days the manager would come round and talk to dining guests. That night we got the impression they were understaffed, even though only three tables had guests.
Two of us only had starters (Scallops and Chicken Liver) which were very good. One main course, the salmon was also good, but the lamb chops were overcooked and too salty, and the "dry aged" bon filet at 45€ was a disappointment: too small (not more than 100 grams), cut into small slices with a sauce (not on menu).
We will not come anymore for a "special" night, because it is no longer special. That's a shame - we used to love it here.. .

Wine bar , Twas, good before, what’s happened .. Very disappointed, used to be a favourite place to dine at the wine bar.
Food was cold, told the waiter, he said , “ I will let them know” we sat there for 10 mins , before , I beckoned the waiter , he said Yes, I’ve told them.
Surely you want to take the dish away? I said , yes he said .
The same food came back reheated, the fish was re-Fried . Fish and mash.
Was was more like fish goujons from a children’s party. Not what we have enjoyed previously.
Luckily the cats patrolling the tables enjoyed it .
We paid and left, unfortunately, this is how you lose regular custom.
Menu is still the same , you would think, the chef’s would change things around.
Add seasonal new dishes.
The prices have changed to Euro’s and more expensive now.
We don’t mind that so much, if the food was good.
My wife had the Chicken schnitzel , which was good, but the Caesar salad , was, well nothing like a Caesar salad, it tasted like it had lemon dressing , the Parmesan tasted like
a poor substitute , and no anchovies.
Sacrilege.
Love music was good, service can do better, food not so good.
This needs to be looked at, if you want customers to return.. .

Glamorous Gilham. This absolute Gem is nestled in the hills 15 minutes from Kyrenia. We stayed in The Rose villas overlooking the vineyards with views of the sea .
2 whole weeks of bliss - We have previously been for dinner which is an absolute must ! From the moment we arrived we knew we were going to have a wonderful stay . So looking forward to going back. .

You will enjoy it. Very positive experience. It's not a typical Northen Cyprus.
Standing out - location and view, cuisine, service, reasonable prices.
Highly recommended.. .

A jewel of a hotel in a vineyard.. Gillham Vineyard Hotel. It's one of those places when you just know...you know!
From the moment of arrival and the fountain before the entrance, opening the double doors to the lobby and the smiling reception staff. I knew!
On one level, I hate writing about places like this...because then it becomes soooo popular...but a jewel can't be hidden behind a bush. And Gillham Vineyard Hotel is certainly a jewel.
Super well-situated - obviously in a vineyard, there is so much space to walk around in and everywhere is green and gorgeous. Lots of space and views to the se and the hills.
Staff are super-friendly, personable and there's nothing too much trouble - you just want to pack them in your suitcase and bring them home.
The pool is an oasis of delight; with these four poster beds to hang out in and a mountain backdrop behind. The water is always the right temperature and not chlorinated.
The food is A-MAZING... they have a great chef who creates delicate but tasty dishes with quality ingredients...breakfast is a delight and the coffee is super. Sitting outside on the terrace overlooking the pool and the surrounding hills...it's very beautiful there.
The rooms are really big and airy. The pillows are really great as is the mattress.
We will be back!. .

Fabulous couples retreat. On our last day here but this place is fabulous. The restaurant is excellent. The Rose rooms are a great blend of size, amenities and views. We were in Rose 18 and the view every morning is a delight. The spa is great. We found sitting down there during the morning was a great way to find some shade and we have had the plunge pool to ourselves everyday. A fabulous place to stay. .

Beautiful vineyard hotel in Northern Cyprus . We had a fabulous couple of days at the vineyard. The rooms are lovely, particularly the newer rose rooms. The food is delicious, in both restaurants and we can recommend dining in both if you can. Eric gave us a very informative and fun wine tasting. But the very best thing about the place is the service. Truly exemplary from everyone - a real 5 star experience. So thanks to the staff for making our stay so special!. .

An Outstanding Stay for our Mind 'N' Soul Retreat!. I have been to this beautiful hotel, Gillham Vineyard, on many occasions with family and friends for both lunch and dinner. In fact, it is a must whenever we are on holiday in North Cyprus from the UK.
However my trip this May 2025 was an entirely different reason. I hosted a wellness retreat for 5 nights, bringing my guests from the UK.
It was an amazing retreat and the hotel, managers and team did not disappoint. The service, accommodation, food, hotel and hospitality were incredibly outstanding.
The restaurant staff, hotel managers, reception and hospitality team have been familiar faces to me over the last few years. I have never seen them working without a smile and have always been willing to do as much as possible for their guests. The team of this hotel certainly contributed to the memorable experience.
I hope to be returning for my next retreat and guests.. .
