"Beautiful, comfortable room. The only suggestion I have is to change the locks on the doors. You need a key to lock it from the inside and open it from the inside. This will turn out very bad if there were to be an emergency."
"We loved our stay at Rosen Villa! When we arrived we were greeted so hospitably and found the place so charming we tried to figure out how soon we could return! The guest parking was especially helpful, and the location to Old Town was magnificent! We cannot say enough about how wonderful this little gem of a place is and how lovely the staff was."
"The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff was amazing. I loved the property and yes it’s not close to the old town but I didn’t mind it (10 minute car ride). Loved the pool and restaurant. "
