Villa Roza is on the outskirts of Kokkino Horio (Red Village) a small hilltop village close to the northern coast and a few kilometres east of Almirida. A sleepy traditional village of narrow streets and a square with eucalyptus trees. The villa is 6 minutes level walk from a taverna in the old school grounds at the beginning of the lane. It sits high on a ridge over looking the sea at the entrance to Souda Bay and is set in the middle of it's own grounds of 1.5 acres, among ancient stone 'wheat' terraces with wild almond & pear trees. There are panoramic views of 270 degrees, over looking the sea to 'Akrotiri' peninsula in the north, the Turkish Fort at 'Aptera' in the west & the 'White Mountains' to south & southwest.

Villa Roza Crete

Sue Allison Burnley
Review Submitted: November 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We have nothing but positive comments about villa Roza; it was everything we wanted and more. When we look for a villa we search for seclusion and privacy and good views. I recall Chris (the owner) saying that the pictures cannot capture the essence of what the villa has to offer – how right he was. The view when you first walk into the villa through to the terrace is totally breathtaking – truly, truly stunning – you just have to be there!

The weather was very hot, just how we like it but the position of the villa ensures a wonderful cooling breeze. The villa was discretely and well maintained during our stay; all facilites are available and of high quality (including lots of books and CDs for your leisure, even binoculars and telescope to appreciate the views!).

The location makes a car essential as with most villas. There is a taverna & small supermarket in the village approx 5 mins walk and more tavernas in Plaka approx 5 mins drive. We preferred to take a 10 min drive into Almyrida – a small and friendly resort with a great atmosphere, a fabulous beach and some excellent beachfront tavernas.

We flew into Heraklion – would use Chania airport next time as the villa is approx 2 hours from Heraklion whereas Chania is 40 mins.

Villa Rosa

Liz, Richard and Family Notts, England
Review Submitted: August 21, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We have just returned from a week at Villa Rosa and a more beautiful location would be hard to find. The villa is private but has the most amazing views across the bay and of the mountains. It is well maintained and has everything you could wish for to help enjoy your holiday. the pool was great and the children spent many happy hours in it. We ate at the local taverna which is about 3 minutes walk away and has a vast choice. We can recommend the village wine! Slightly further afield we ate in Almerida on the seafront and all the tavernas were friendly and food was good. We had several days out but can recommend Georgiopoulis for the river trips to see the loggerhead turtles and Lake Kournas to see the terrapins. bothe were very enjoyable. All in all a great holiday but could have done with 2 weeks!

Villa Roza

Yve B Watford, Hertfordshire, England
Review Submitted: August 11, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Just returned from an idyllic holiday at Villa Roza. The vista from the villa is simply breath-taking, with panormic views across Souda Bay and the mountains. It is very private yet close enough to the local village to walk and buy provisions or go for a delicious meal at the local taverna, who will also provide cooked food for you to take back to the villa to eat (we did this a number of times). Yvonne the housekeeper/manager is wonderful and keeps the villa spotlessly clean. Chris the owner has had an enormous water tank installed so any water cuts in the area pass unnoticed. The inviting pool is a decent size and Ray keeps it in good order without over-doing it with the chlorine. Everything you could possibly need is there - there is even a good selection of books to read and CDs to play (Nat King Cole with a glass of wine watching the sun set over the mountains - bliss!). Do not be put off by the absence of air conditioning units - the way Chris has designed the villa means the pleasant sea breezes cool the villa perfectly well and there are electric fans in the bedrooms if you feel the need to use them (I didn't and I stayed July/August). Chris goes the extra mile to ensure the holiday goes smoothly - I was called before I left the UK and received emails during my stay. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings away from the hussle and bustle of a tourist resort, yet close enough to visit if you wish, villa Roza is perfect. I will definitely be returning.

Fantastische Villa Roza

Margit + Wilfried Mönchengladbach, Deutschland
Review Submitted: September 24, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Zurück nach 2 Wochen in der tollen Villa Roza können wir diese nur wärmstens empfehlen. Chris, ein englischer Architekt, hat ein fantastisch schönes Haus in absolut ruhiger Lage geschaffen. Die Villa liegt auf dem großen Grundstück im beschaulichen Kokkino Horio uneinsehbar auf einer Anhöhe. Konzeption und Einrichtung sind anspruchsvoll mit Still und lassen nichts vermissen. Haus, Garten und der herrliche Pool sind in Toppzustand und werden vor Ort exzellent von angenehmen Menschen betreut (Dank an Yvonne, Ray und Roy). Der Ausblick von der/den Veranda über die gesamte Souda-Bucht und auf die Weißen Berge ist atemberaubend. Wir werden Sie bei Frühstück und Abendessen vermissen! Am Ende der Grundstücksauffahrt zur Villa bietet ein Carport einen schattigen Parkplatz (Mietwagen unbedingt nötig). Die Region ist touristisch britisch geprägt (aber von der netten Art), Hokkino Horio dörflich mit uriger Taverne und kleinem Lebensmittelladen, im nahen Plaka, Almirida und Kalives gibt es ausreichend Restaurants und Versorgungsmöglichkeiten. Zu empfehlen sind der INKA Supermarkt am Ortseingang von Kalives, größere Lidl-Läden in Chania oder Rethimion. Strände in Kalives und Almirida mit aller Infrastruktur, oder die kleine kaum besuchte Bucht bei Kera (FKK möglich).

Der Kontakt zum Besitzer Chris ist äußerst nett, er kümmert sich rührend um seine Gäste, von umfassenden Informationen bis ins Detail, Aushandlung der Zahlungsbedingungen, lokalen Empfehlungen, prompte Beantwortung von Fragen, steht stets telefonisch zur Verfügung und erkundigt sich vor- und nachher nach den Wünschen und Wohlergehen.

Wir können Villa Roza nur ausdrücklich empfehlen.
