Stayed 3 nights in villa rosalena and would recommend it very highly.Rod was an excellent host who goes above and beyond to make his guests feel as much at home as possible. He picked us up from station and provided a very welcome snack as it was late. We were very grateful for this as we know it was somethinge had no need to do. Breakfast was served in a nice bright room and consisted of everything you would need. Rod also took us to train station when we were heading out for the day and helped with the ticket machine.

We thoroughly…
Really enjoyed the room with a perfect view and Rod's hospitality! Rod showed us a couple of nice hiking routes, let us stay in another room waiting for our train and finally drove us to the train. Thanks
A superb stay at Villa Rosalena, we highly recommend it. Rod is an excellent host and is always happy to help. The rooms are spacious, extremely comfortable and with delightful views. Plus substantial breakfasts. If we return to this area we will certainly stay here and will be sure to recommend to family and friends.
