The name of the village is said to derive from its founder, a man called "Stroumpos", or the shape of the surrounding hills (stroumpoula, meaning "rounded").

[1] The village is known for its annual "Dionysia" wine festival named after Dionysos, the ancient Greek god of wine, that takes place next to central square where the Ayias Sophias church is located at the end of August.

[2] A now-defunct "Dionysos" volleyball team was based in Stroumpi and played in the Cypriot top league.

The village is located in an altitude of 453 m.[6] It receives about 665 millimetres of rainfall annually.

Vines of mostly wine-making varieties, fruit-trees, almond, olive, and walnut trees are cultivated in its region.
