Wonderful holiday, lovely apartment, will go again, recommend to everyone, pool and bar just perfect, apartment was spotless, Love our hostess Joy, she was Joy by name and joy by nature.

We are a family of four who stayed at Villa Rosa when we were in Kefalonia; two adults and two children at the age of 12 and 15. Villa Rosa was really like paradise to us! The service and the helpfulness from Pierros, Joy and Rosa has been extraordinary from the first minute. They really contributed to do our vacation as pleasent as it could be. And the place is like heaven - no picture can capture the correct view from this place. We needed a week to relax, and we definately managed that. The children fell in love with Trapezaki beach (the closest) because of the clear water, the view and the fact that it was not a crowded beach, so we spent many days there. The apartment was very nice, and it had all the things you need for a week. And in the area there is a lot of nice restaurants, so we didn't actually loose weight this week. We can really recommend a stay at Villa Rosa!

Last July, we stayed in the no. 15 apartment of Villa Rosa. It was our fourth time around, so we came with high expectations. Again, Villa Rosa exceeded all of them.
Some of the positive points:
- The apartment is very, very nice. Airconditioned, enough space, good facilities. The view from the balcony is amazing. Cleaning 6 days a week.
- The complex has this wonderful atmosphere: friendly, quiet, welcoming. The garden is beautiful.
- The swimming pool is very pleasant. The pool bar is the heart of the complex.
- And most of all: the owners are só hospitable. Joy, Rosa and Pierros are determined to make your stay unforgettable. And that is exactly what they do. The bad thing is that you do not want to go anywhere else ever.
- Kefalonia is a very beautiful island. Villa Rosa is an excellent choice in Kefalonia.
Trapezaki is close to Lourdata (beach) and Argostoli. Restaurants everywhere. Supermarkets too. (Make sure you rent a car).
The negative points:
- You keep taking pictures.
- We had to go home and could not stay longer.

I stayed in the studio apartment at Villa Rosa for 10 days at the end of July/beginning of August, with my 15 year old daughter (who happens to have autism!). We're high maintenance travellers and I need to make quite a few

The apartments are all lovely - clean and well furnished with the basics that you need on holiday. Far more important than that is their location and the quality of the service you get from the family.

So, location - right on the coast, a 5 min walk from Trapezaki beach and a few mins more to Santo Thomas beach (both beautiful and both with a Taverna). The views are stunning - no other word for it. You need to be aware that you are not going to an apartment that is in a resort with a 'strip' and bars and restaurants - you need to go to Lassi or Skala if that's what you want, but if peace and quiet in a beautiful location is your thing then this is perfect. You can walk to eat out (one family when I was there had not got a car and they walked everywhere with their two young children) and you can easily organise a taxi.

And service .....During our booking process (when I had to ask for lots of things to be in place to make sure our trip would be smooth) Pierros was incredibly helpful, and once we got there, both him and Joy made sure that we always had everything we needed and more. That meant I got to relax and that's my definition of a great holiday!

All in all we had a fantastic time and I couldn't recommend Villa Rosa more.

Thankyou!

This was our first time in Kefalonia and we thought it was such a beautifull island. We travelled as a family with 2 teenage daughters and stayed in a 2 bedroomed appartment at Villa Rosa. Its location overlooking the sea is idyllic and as soon as we arrived we started to relax. Our apartment had a lovely balcony overlooking the gardens and sea and we spent most of our time here admiring the views.
The complex is very well maintained and the apartments were spotlessly clean, the kitchen area was small but had all the essentials including a full size cooker, kettle, toaster and large fridge freezer. There wasn't a huge amount of pots and pans but there was definitely enough to be able to cook meals and all appliances and utensils were in excellent condition.
The apartment also had air conditioning (main unit in the lounge) which you definitely need in that heat. There were some extras like plug in mosquito repellents and plug adapters, which were usefull.
The pool area is beautiful which also overlooks the sea, and this area never appeared to get very busy. There was also a small bar where you could buy drinks. Joy or another member of the family were always here and always happy to help, in fact the whole family were lovely. There was free wifi around the pool area which kept my two teenagers happy.
We hired a car for the duration of our holiday which was great for exploring the island - i recommend visiting Myrtos beach, Assos, Fiskardo,and Antisammos beach. It was also helpful to pop to the local supermarket as although it was walkable the temperature was very hot. There were 2 lovely sandy beaches both walkable from Villa Rosa but yet again with 2 teenagers we tended to take the car. The beaches on the island are beautiful with crystal clear waters which makes snorkelling great fun.
We enjoyed the family BBQ night where Rosa, Dennis, Pierros and Joy cooked and entertained us, Pierros playing his mandolin was a lovely end to the evening. This is a quiet area and definitely not for those wanting clubs or a lively nightlife. There were a couple of Taverna's within walking distances and many more within a short drive. We all enjoyed staying here and definitely plan to return again.
