Έλα μέσα. “Come in” in Greek: the name Ella-Reno starts here.

Opening first as a small pilot. No launch date has been announced yet.

Good work shows in the joint lines: stone dressed by hand, terrazzo ground flat, a tile bedded true on a combed bed. We cannot promise craft we have not seen.

What we can do is ask each contractor for their documents, record the date of every check, and write the brief so careful work can be priced line by line instead of guessed. Where a check is still being set up, we say so.

A price only when Cyprus data supports one.

Our cost guides show their working. Today no guide has enough independent Cyprus sources, so every figure is left empty on purpose.

How a guide earns a figure
  1. Sources from outside the platform only: our own written price requests to independent Cyprus firms, supplier price lists, and Cyprus price pages from the last 365 days that state their VAT basis. Public tenders and CYSTAT indices are context, not prices.
  2. Prices that contractors send us in proposals stay confidential and are never used. Neither are the prices of our affiliated contractor.
  3. At least 3 independent Cyprus sources for the same defined scope, otherwise “Not enough Cyprus data yet”.
  4. From 3 sources: the lowest and highest only. From 8 sources: the median and the middle half of the prices.
  5. Net, then VAT and gross at both 5 % and 19 %, because the rate depends on the property and the job.
  6. Every figure is read again within 90 days or withdrawn.
  7. Never a “fair price”, a suggested price or a forecast. Contractors set their own prices.

These rooms were made by an AI image tool to set a mood. No contractor built them and they are not Ella-Reno work. Real photos come only from finished pilot jobs, with written consent from the homeowner and the contractor.

What we ask for, what we disclose, and what we do not have yet.

What we ask for

  • The contractors register entry and annual licence, where the work needs them.
  • Public liability insurance, VAT number and company status.
  • The date of every check and the expiry date of every document. If we have not checked something, we say so.
  • We do not check workmanship quality or prices.

What we disclose

  • We curate. Our team sees every proposal and every price, and chooses which one or more to present to you. You see the proposals we select, not each one we receive.
  • Ella-Reno is run on an interim basis by a construction company that may also submit a proposal for your request; its proposals are labelled "affiliated". Ella-Reno itself does not carry out works. Operator details: ella-reno.com/terms
  • The owner who curates also prepares and prices the proposals of the construction company that runs Ella-Reno. That is a conflict of interest, so its proposal must be submitted and frozen before the owner opens any rival proposal or comparison in the same round, and it cannot be changed after that.

What we do not have yet

  • No customer reviews. We will only show reviews tied to a real, finished job.
  • No published prices: see the cost guides above.
  • No photos of finished jobs. Every photo on this page is an AI image.
  • No press mentions, and no logos of people we have not worked with.
  • 0Published Cyprus price rangesPrice register read 25/10/2026.
