We are a tall (1.86) Europan couple. Two important 'comfortable indicators' for us are: 1) is the bed long enough 2) do we fit under the shower head. Both answers are yes. The room is very spacious, very clean (also IN the closet, nightstand, sidetable) and comfortable. We loved the ocean views. When we wanted to take a bath, it... More

Annette, Thank you very much for your very kind review. It is always a great pleasure for us to host pleasant and considerate guests. Our only regret is that the period you visited Penghu was very windy. As with other locals, when the weather is fine, the beauty is far more apparent. We most certainly welcome you back any time.

Hi everyone, Before start to write my own rewiew about Villa Romana I've readed the other hosts rewiews and, frankly, all is said. Most of those who write here agree that: - The house is spectacular. Inside and out. - Andrew and his family really do a great job, they care about the guests and help them. These two things... More

We stayed as a party of 5, including one toddler, in two rooms. Andrew and Maria were very helpful, and friendly with useful suggestions on things to do and places to visit. We were met at the airport and driven to the car rental company. He then guided us to his home. At the end of our stay, Maria picked... More

Hello Richard and family, and thank you for the fine review. We try very hard and do all we can to service our guests' needs. We are very thankful that you appreciate our efforts. Regarding the air-con problem, I wasn't aware. In the past, guests have often brought the temps down to a rather chilly 19 or 20, so I... More

I travel all over the world for business, and have stayed in some of the nicest hotels in the world. Thats nice for what it is, but Villa Romana makes you feel the same way you feel when you RETURN from a vacation. Happy to be home, relaxed, peaceful. Thats pretty hard to create for travelling visitors, but Andrew, Maria... More

Thank you, Tim for your great review. We love hosting appreciative guests. You and your daughter were so congenial, and we're glad we could help arrange for a day of snorkeling and water activities around some uninhabited islets. We most warmly welcome you back any time you're in the area. Wishing you all the best! More

Villa Romana was a great weekend trip from Taiwan. It was a short 30min flight over directly from Taichung where Maria picked us up straight from the airport. The house is huge, clean and right at the end of the main road. The view is really amazing looking out of over the rocky beach where you can watch the local... More

Villa Romana is located in a truly amazing corner of the Penghu islands. It is tucked away next to the ocean on a rocky coastline surrounded by farmland. The hosts picked us up from the airport, and helped us find places to visit around the islands. The view from the Villa Romana was absolutely breathtaking, and the coastline was perfect... More

My wife and I have traveled to the Penghu islands many times over the years, and been to a good number of B&Bs. Compared to other places here, Villa Romana is an incredible value. The owners have pegged their prices to the mid-range, but honestly, this is probably the best overall B&B. The location is right on the water at... More

This home is beautiful, nicely decorated. The view is incredible! This was our first visit to Penghu--think of Hawaii in 1940. We asked Andrew and Maria for suggestions about activities and restaurants. We rented scooters and we also rode the ferries. We were able to see 9 of the islands in 4 days. We rode a taxi back from the... More

The B&B is beautiful. The breakfast plentiful and delicious. Unlike everyone else, it seems, we didn't find Andrew helpful. At all. He seemed preoccupied, sent a last minute email to tell us he wouldn't be able to pick us up from the airport, and didn't seem concerned when we left something on one of the tour busses. Our fault, of... More
