About this villa rental
Villa Rosamar is a 5 bedroom villa set on three levels overlooking a private salt water swimming pool and gardens. The villa has spacious living space and a large well equiped kitchen. There are five seperate bedrooms, two doubles, two twins and one with bunk beds. In the lounge on the ground floor there are two singles. Outside we have a larger than average pool and a table tennis table. The pool area has been substantially upgraded for 2022 with a large terrace with plenty of space for eating and sunbathing. The villa is situated on the coast in an area of exceptional natural beauty, safe and away from the crowds.
We have an excellent management team and the villa is thoroughly deep cleaned between each stay.
At the end of our road (750 meters) is a lovely sandy cove, Cala Cayet de Mar. The soft sand is ideal for sandcastles and the water is crystal clear. Beside the beach is an excellent, good value, family run restaurant with a spectacular terrace overlooking a picture postcard bay, ideal for lazy lunches or dinners. The restaurant also boasts a large secure garden with children's play area so that little ones can amuse themselselves while parents relax. Beside the beach is a mini-supermarket that has fresh bread daily and a small bar/restaurant.
The villa is a 10 minute drive from the historic coastal town of Sant Feliu de Guixols and makes a safe and private base for a family holiday.
Girona City with it's spectacular Gothic Cathedral is only 40 minutes draive away and makes an excellent day trip.
Families with children will love the Aqua Park in Platja d'Aro (20 minutes by car).
Golf Courses: There are several excellent courses nearby including the PGA de Catalunya. Green fees are reasonable
Yacht Charter: We have friends who run a sailing school at nearby Port d'Aro and skippered charter of a luxury 50 foot yacht can be arranged. Why not take a day cruise along the wonderful coastline.
Fine Dining: Three of the world's best 50 restaurants are in Catalunya within a 40 minute drive. This region of Spain is currently producing some of the most exiting wines in Europe. We can arrange winery tours or reservations in a world class restaurant upon request.

As a group of six adults and four children, we found this property ideal. With three double beds, six singles, and three bathrooms across three floors, there was room enough for everyone to enjoy each other and still find room to slip away for some moments of peace. The pool was a delight and the nearby access to the beach (15 minute walk using the shortcut down to the main road) was fantastic. There are four beaches to choose from and each one offers something different: great snorkeling, volleyball net, beach bar, etc. We had to go through a little trial and error to figure all this out, but we had a week so it was fun to explore.
In terms of property management, Derek (owner) was quite responsive in the time before our arrival and Natasha (property manager) was really fantastic once we were there. The house does have trouble establishing a solid wifi connection, but they seem to be really making an effort to fix that, which we appreciated. Also, given the heat, all the pools in the area were having trouble staying clear, but Natasha had someone at the house within an hour of our request to deal with the cloudy water and we were able to go on swimming in no time.
As a group, we can all highly recommend this place for a great and relaxing vacation!

Relaxing Family Get together
Perfect house for extended families. Plenty of space, large well stocked kitchen. Teenagers liked the table tennis. Wonderful beach and Restaurant Rosamar has a great terrace with lovely food

misleading and disappointing
The property is tired and need of some TLC. In the garden was a broken fridge and table umbrella. The bedrooms were not set out as advertised. I broached this with Home and Away and the owner but did not even get the courtesy of a reply. The photos do not show that it is in a built up area of a large number of villas

Good for extended families!
We had a fantastic extended family holiday recently. The house was spacious and well stocked with necessary equipment. Sadly the house was not quite as the pictures showed with peeling paint and generally in need of a bit of modernising. Without air conditioning it was quite hot, but the roof fans did make it a bit more tolerable. The surrounding area is beautiful and very peaceful with gorgeous beaches.

Spacious and comfortable house in a beautiful setting
We stayed in Villa Rosamar in August 2018 and loved every minute of it. The house was really nicely appointed and extremely spacious and easily swallowed up our two families with still room to spare.
Lots of lovely balconies off the living space and bedrooms and a fabulous pool in the garden - bigger than most pools in villas. The table tennis was extremely popular with the children too.
From a practical perspective, the kitchen was extremely spacious and had all that we needed to feed 11. the washing machine was easy to use, plenty of airers to dry washed clothes and there were plenty of toilets and bathrooms for all.
As there was no air conditioning (would be a good addition for the bedrooms) we were quite reliant on the fans. There were not enough working fans when we arrived but when asked we were provided with extra brand new fans immediately which was extremely impressive and gratefully received.
There were a few lights without working lightbulbs so perhaps a little more checks needed on handover but otherwise it was really a wonderful house for a family holiday.
Rosamar itself is a wonderful oasis and would suit couples and families - more agile elderly. Car essential to get provisions and visit the local area although there is a little shop for necessaries, a lovely restaurant and beach bar all near the beach...the fabulous beach!
Highly recommend - we want to come back! :)

We had an amazing time at Villa Rosamar!
The villa was a wonderful place to stay after three busy weeks touring other areas in Europe. We loved that the beach was an easy walk down the hill, and that the beach bar served everything from sandwiches to pizza to ice cream. There were days that we didn't even get in the car or leave. Day trips to Barcelona and Girona were well worth it, but we were happy to get back to our quiet cove in Rosamar. Speaking of the cove, I was in awe of the pathway out into the sea- the one I've seen pictures of on Pinterest. It was more beautiful than I imagined.
The only issue we had was the heat, that we couldn't control. It was quite warm when we were there. And even with the fans and instructions from the manager in how to best close up/cool off the house, it could get a bit uncomfortable. That's when the pool came in handy.
Above all it was an amazing place and we hope to return one day.

Plutôt sympa
Maison très agréable et très bel environnement. Seul bémol, le soleil ne donne pas sur la piscine toute la journée. Dommage.

We were a group of 4 couples with 5 children, who had a lovely one-week stay in Villa Rosamar in June 2016. We found the location to be quite appealing, with its beautiful hillside view and 10-15 minute walk from the beach, as well as good hiking and interesting medieval villages in the area. Rosamar itself is a quiet, very tiny town with a small store, a restaurant, and a beach bar, and we arrived on a Sunday evening with no groceries, so we really appreciated the food items that were provided with the house (bread, pasta, wine, etc.). In general the house was well-equipped with everything we needed, although there were some issues with internet, as the only internet available in the area runs through a sim card. The property manager came to help us sort out the internet, but we ended up having to make a trip to the provider to get it working, and we would have appreciated if the manager had handled this for us. The house is spacious, sleeps up to 12 in beds and has additional baby cots. Four of the bedrooms are close together on the middle floor, sharing one bathroom, with one substantially larger on the bottom floor with another bathroom and separate sitting room. The pool was clean and nice, though fairly cool in late June -- that didnt stop the kids from spending plenty of time in it. We especially enjoyed the barbecue area and ample seating next to the pool. Wed definitely visit again!

Big house, great location, close to amazing beach
We had a wonderful relaxing week in Rosamar! The house was very spacious and well maintained with everything we needed. The photos give a very good and accurate impression of this house and its grounds. The local managers were very helpful and available. We especially enjoyed lazing around by the pool and walking down to the picturesque local beach. The beach restaurant is perfect for families with young children: there is an enclosed garden with a playground for the children and a lovely sea view and sangria for the adults - what more could you want??

Spacious villa,nice grounds, pool and facilities
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Villa Rosamar, which is spacious, private, fully equipped, has nice grounds and pool, and is close to some awesome beaches. Would definitely stay again. Also loved the area, midway in the Costa Brava, reasonably close to both lively towns and medieval villages as well as gorgeous harbors and beaches.
