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.

Lovely villa in the hills
The property is huge, and the welcome of the hosts incredibly warm. Air-con is only in the bedrooms, but this wasn’t an issue for us as the property benefits from a breeze when the terrace doors are open. There are two tavernas within walking distance, and a rental car is necessary for getting to and from the main town, shops etc. We had a great few days and would happily return.

Perfect
The property was exactly as listed with the ground floor area even bigger and more spacious than we anticipated. Plenty of room for all of us (7) without getting in each others way. The villa was cleaned regularly to a fantastic standard with even little gifts for us and our daughters left behind - can safely say this is the best villa we have stayed in anywhere, it began to feel like a second home which we never wanted to leave!

Great getaway
Rosemary Villa is a great choice if you're visiting this part of Crete, it had everything you could wish for and more. We were met by Manolis & Toula who welcomed us with a table full of fresh fruit and vegetables, the fridge was full of bottled water, beer, wine, soft drinks and also a full watermelon, there was also large tray of chicken and potatoes cooking in the oven...a great start. The larder was full of herbs, spices, oils, tea, coffee, filters for the coffee machine and much more. There were plenty of bin bags, dishwasher tablets, washing powder and loo rolls too. The bedrooms were large and very comfortable and had more than enough sheets, blankets and towels for our stay. The cleaning lady came every 3rd day to check everything was ok and to change bedding and towels if required, top service. The pool area was great as were the outside terraces. There are 3 tavernas in the village all within walking distance although 2 of them are down a steep hill, Aloni Cafe & Restaurant was our favourite, they served great food, local craft beer and the 'extras' were amazing. We will be certain to look this place up if we ever return to this part of Crete, thanks for a great stay.

Fabulous!
What an amazing house! Toula greeted us with a welcome table and fridge, not just a pack!! And a chicken with local potatoes cooking in the oven. The house is fabulous, very comfortable and well equipped. The pool is amazing too. Glorious views from the terraces. We had very hot weather whilst we were there and needed a fan for downstairs. A message to Toula and she appeared within 10 minutes with one. She also kept bringing us gifts throughout our stay. Super hospitality! This is one of the best houses we have stayed in and we have been renting villas for over 40 years! Just one downside ☹️ There are a lot of dogs in the village and they bark a lot.

Amazing hospitality!
We are just back from 2 weeks at Villa Rosemary. The villa is absolutely wonderful, both inside and out. Toula, the owner was there to greet us, leaving a home cooked supper and lots of other treats. The pool area was immaculate and had a number of inflatables which the kids loved. The villa is high in the hills with amazing views. I was a little worried about the drive because there are quite a few tight corners, but actually there is so little traffic on the road, it is fine. I also drove into Rethymnon several times and found easy parking in the harbour car park - Eur2 for 2 hours. There are 3 tavernas in walking distance of the villa, so no need to take the car out at night - Aloni, Mylonas and Vamvakas. Aloni was our favourite - very generous with their extras! In all, a fantastic holiday!

Lovely family holiday!
9 of us spent a great week at Rosemary Villa, Toula was there to greet us on arrival with a lovely cooked meal and lots of goodies to start a week off! She was extremely helpful with advice etc on different things throughout our stay. The villa was well equipped and the 3 bikes added extra fun for those of the group that felt like a ride out. We visited the 2 local tavernas and little shop which are both in walking distance and enjoyed walks out in the local area, we used taxis when travelling further. Overall we had a very relaxing holiday at Rosemary Villa!

Just Returned July 2019
My family and I have just returned from a fantastic week's stay in this Villa in Crete. It's as good if not better than the pictures on the site. Clean, tidy, and big enough easily to accommodate our party of 7 adults. The owner (Toula) and her family were extremely welcoming, and waited for us to arrive in to the early hours of the morning after a slight flight delay at the airport, and had even prepared us food for us on arrival. The villa was cleaned a couple of times whilst we were there, including a change of all the bedlinen. Our host was available to us throughout the week and indeed helped us out regarding some of the local facilities. The property itself is up in the hills, and so extremely quiet and relaxing. Assuming you will want to get out and see the island I would suggest a car is a must, and the main town is only a 10 minute drive away. All in all we had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this property to anyone. Thank you
