Phantastische Lage/ Sehr angenehme Betreuung
Wir wurden von Mrs Toula wie Familienmitglieder empfangen. Auch unser Eintreffen abends tat dem keinen Abbruch. Abendessen und viele notwendige Sachen waren bevorratet, so dass wir ein/zwei Tage versorgt waren. Bei Problemen reagierte die Gastgeberin sofort. Reinigung einschl. pool war vorbildlich und immer abgestimmt. Ohne Auto geht dort Oben gar nichts - allerdings sind die Entfernungen hinunter in die Stadt mit Strand, toller Altstadt und Einkauf nicht gross: ca 15min.

komfortable Villa im idyllischen Bergdorf
insgesamt wie erwartet, sehr gut. Die Villa bietet viel Platz, wenn auch nur eines der Bäder wirklich großzügig ist. Am Ort gibt es leider kein Geschäft mehr. Die beiden guten Restaurants sind dafür kein Ersatz, und die kurvenreiche Tour nach Rethymno (wo man natürlich alles bekommt) ist kein Katzensprung.

We highly recommend!
Our family of seven adults had the most wonderful here at Rosemary Villa. When we arrived after our long trip from the US, a hot meal and loads of snacks were waiting for us. The owners go above and beyond for their guests. The house is very comfortable and very-well appointed. The location is quiet with beautiful views. It's a short drive to Rethymno. We walked to Stella's taverna three times for dinner! We would easily stay here again!

Superb villa
The villa is set high above Rethymno in the village of Roussospiti. It is really beautifully furnished and equipped. We loved the privacy and the pool was just perfect for our family. There are tavernas in the village but the supermarket is a 20 min drive

Even better than the photos
Stayed in a lot of villas over the last 20 years but this was the best. Great location, modern facilities and so quiet yet close to some good Tavernas and fab beaches 20 mins by car We were met on arrival by a cooked meal and some treats (cakes etc). Many have said it but bigger than photos look (and photos looked great). Villa has a real WOW factor and would 100% recommend. We will be back.
