Rosie’s herb house

Very clean, quiet and spacious with picture perfect views from the balcony. Great little pool. Great food at Rosie’s cafe across the road! Good base for exploring the north of the island, lovely beaches and villages within 20 mins drive.

Beautiful house that is very spacious and peaceful. The layout is excellent for family and partners, whith an en-suite shower room and additional good sized bathroom. The pool is fairy small yet lovely, and there is a lot of outside seating in sun or shade. The beds were very comfortable. It really was lovely how homely it felt. Rosie and her Daughter are excellent hosts and their restaurant across the road has produce, delicious food and wonderful views. We could have stayed much longer.

From the moment we arrived, Rosie's was exactly what we needed. We were greeted by Rosie herself before we'd even gotten out of the car and keys provided and then we enjoyed a freshly cooked meal at her café after arriving late in the evening with 2 very tired and hungry children. We were welcomed by Rosie's immediate family and made to feel at home. The villa is large and spacious and has everything you need. The pool was a great size for my children (aged 6 & 2) and was very much needed on those hot Kefalonian days. The rooms were all clean and tidy and a house keeper visited regularly to ensure bedding was changed and fresh towels provided. The villa has all the basic facilities anyone would need including washing machine, iron and board, hair dryer. Wi-fi was reliable and there is also a TV with Netflix if needed. The villa is situated in a lovely little village and if you are a keen walker there are a few little walks you can do to see the most spectacular sunsets and sunrises if you are an early riser! If not, not to worry, the view from the porch is just as breath-taking and we spent many evenings just sitting outside enjoying the surrounding scenery. Once dark, I would highly recommend turning all the lights out outside and be in awe of the stunning night sky. The villa is a stone's throw away from Rosie's café which has a lovely menu catering from breakfast through to lunch and evening and when you are full, there is a drinks menu! Rosie and her family are so welcoming and really made us feel at home taking the time to get to know us, particularly the children which they loved. They were also on hand to offer their local recommendations for places to visit and we found some beautiful hidden beaches. Rosie's herb house is situated close to popular local tourist spots such as Assos, Myrtos beach and Fiskardo. All worth a visit!

Nothing could make the villa any better but for those who don't like travelling far, please be aware there aren't any local shops within walking distance so you would have to drive. Nearest shop/ supermarket is roughly 7km away and a very easy drive. However, Rosie's café does have an excellent menu for days when you don't want to cook and an equally good drinks menu!
