Rosy's is the sort of place that the first thing you do when you arrive - after a beer and a swim - is sit and congratulate yourself for believing the hype on Trip Advisor and booking a stay here.
This truly is a perfect holiday destination if your idea of a holiday is relaxing, reading, eating wonderful food, sleeping, swimming in the sea, listening to the crickets, watching beautiful pink and peach sunsets, drinking a carafe of white wine under the stars while waiting for your freshly caught fish to be cooked and watching a golden moon rise.
The hotel is a thoughtfully designed organic complex of Greek style dwellings. Colourful flowers, hidden stairwells and shady nooks, perfect for reading, having a quiet drink or nap, abound. All rooms are very clean, have air con and all have a lovely balcony with beautiful views of the sea.
Rosy and husband Nandas and their family and staff are the kind of dream people you wish ran every hotel. Rosy is helpful and thoughtful and able to anticipate your needs. She is very approachable, and sits in her office - a small gypsy style caravan - with an open door. Rosy helped us organise a trip to the Parthenon on our last day and even rang up to discover where we could leave our luggage. The vibe here is very relaxed and although nothing is too much trouble, all is achieved with no fussing. This family love their little village and it shows. You will love it too.
The food is great. You may wander off a few nights to sample what the rest of the island has to offfer - but you will be back. The relaxed atmosphere, daily specials and charming service, fabulous sea views and of course, delicious home-cooked food is just too good. If they ask you if you want to book for the Friday music night - say yes! Beautiful guitar playing plus the highlight of your hosts Rosy and Nandas dancing a sprightly number.
Rosy was up at dawn to hug us good bye, even though it was not yet 7am, before Nandas dropped us off at the ferry port. Thank you Rosy, Nandas and all for a lovely holiday - the Acropolis was wonderful too x
