“Villa Rosa has been the best villa we've stayed in. We had everything to hand , it was like going from home to home.Our holiday began the minute we arrived. Josh really does everything to make your stay special.The location is ideal, the villa is safe and secure and all the facilities are great.”

Owner's response: Thank yuou Orla and sorry I was in Hospital for most of your visit but I know Maggie looked after you handsomely. Hope to see you again but don't forget we do get booked up very early.

30th December 2011 by John Orpington (STAYED IN DECEMBER 2011)

“This is a very nice villa with high quality fixtures and fittings;Even items like towels and blankets are very good quality.An excellent welcome pack is also provided.
It is also in an ideal location both for the local shops and bars and also for pleasant coastal walks and the best best in the area.”

6th December 2011 by Anne, Newcastle upon Tyne (STAYED IN NOVEMBER 2011)

“After a great deal of searching for a Villa we booked Villa Rosa and what a find it turned out to be. Not only cleaned and equiped to a high standard, the Villa is in an ideal location, a short walk to everything in the resort. An ideal family Villa, only wish we had found it when our children were young.”

26th September 2011 by Broadsword (STAYED IN SEPTEMBER 2011)

“Absolutely fantastic, absolutely spotless and everything to hand, this has been our second stay and we can't praise it enough.
Josh was his usual cheerful and helpful self and always available to assist.
Location is excellent, area is excellent, Villa is superb.
We've already booked for next year !!!!!”

30th August 2011 by Louise,Harrogate (STAYED IN AUGUST 2011)

“We have stayed at Villa Rosa three times now and would definitely recommend it.The Villa is brilliantly equipped with everything you could possibly need on your holiday,even a supply of books and games! It is very spacious both inside and out.The heated pool is fantastic,our boys aged 12 and 14 spent hours in it.
The location of the villa is lovely and quiet yet only a 5 minute walk from the beach,shops and restaurants.
We have never returned to the same place for a holiday before we discovered Villa Rosa in Teguise,it is always a great relaxing holiday.Josh deserves a special mention as he is such a good host and will ensure your holiday is stress free. We are hoping to return soon!”

“villa rosa is a home from home. five star accommodation which had everything you could want for. villa very spacious and very private, yet very near to the beach and lovely restaurants.

the swimming pool is excellent - children spend hours in there. i would hightly recommend villa rosa to my family and friends and i would definately stay there again.

josh was an excellent host and if you needed anything you only had to ask. thanks josh. and thanks Ros - althought we never got to meet you.

our first visit to villa rosa but surely not our last.”

27th May 2011 by m+h middlesbrough (STAYED IN MAY 2011)

“We had a warm welcome from josh and great to know he was a phone call away. The Villa has everything you need in a great location. Lighting at the gate is needed on an evening as the road is quite dark. Overall a very relaxing holiday,we have already recommended it to others, we hope to return in the near future.”

27th April 2011 by cleggy and co, burton latimer (STAYED IN APRIL 2011)

“josh and ros were really friendly, villa in excellent location, great for young famillies and the oldies too. 300m to the beach, bars and eating places. we will be back !!!”

26th March 2011 by Paddy, London (STAYED IN MARCH 2011)

“The most outstanding thing about the villa is its perfect location, so easy to get to beach and restaurants, shops etc. We went with my parents and a small child and it was brilliant for both. The resort itself is perfect for families and the local beach is fabulous. We would highly recommend this. Josh, the owner, is happy to help with anything and makes you feel welcome. The pool was ideal for our little one and the the fact it was heated was a bonus. The villa felt very homely and was comfortable.”

1st March 2011 by Ian & Val, Chester (STAYED IN FEBRUARY 2011)

“This was our first visit to Lanzarote and loved Costa Tequise. We were welcomed by Josh who showed us around Villa Rosa. The Villa was like a home from home, so quiet yet so close to the beach, bars, supermarkets and shops. The Villa was equipped with everything we needed. The pool was excellent with the surrounding high walls ensuring privacy and security. This was our first Villa holiday and I can definitely say it won't be our last and we have already recommended Villa Rosa to friends and family.”

22nd February 2011 by The Simpsons (STAYED IN FEBRUARY 2011)

“A fabulous property in a superb location. The villa was spotless and as other reviewers have already said, it all seemed too good to be true, but it was all true. How do you manage to get a quite villa so close to the amenities? Josh was great, and the welcome pack very much appreciated. My only worry is the more we share about this property the more difficult it will become to book - selfish, I know! Thank you for a wonderful holiday – we hope to be back next year.”

17th January 2011 by Batesie (STAYED IN JANUARY 2011)

“We could have no complaints whatsoever about any element of the Villa and would personally recommend that if you are reading this review and considering staying elsewhere don't bother, this is the place for you.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, the bedrooms and living room are comfortable and the outside area is a great spacious area to spend time during both day and night. Add the heated pool and BBQ to the equation and you really couldn't ask for more.”

10th January 2011 by The Kingtons, Manchester (STAYED IN DECEMBER 2010)

“Fab villa, everything you need and more to ensure a comfortable stay. Very well fitted out with kitchen appliances etc. Spotlessly clean. The pool and patio area are lovely and clean and were enjoyed by children and adults. Josh and Ros are really helpful, which was a relief when we needed to take our little one to the doctor. I can't say enough good thing s about this villa or Costa Teguise. We have never returned to a holiday destination a second time but have already booked Villa Rosa for next year!”

17th December 2010 by Robin & Liesbeth (STAYED IN OCTOBER 2010)

“This is our 3rd visit to Lanzarote and the 4th Villa we have stayed at. Although we have stayed at bigger Villas, this is the first place we would like to return to. It has been the most relaxing and enjoyable stay we have enjoyed on this beautiful island and this is partly due to the quality and feel of this Villa. In fact we both felt at home here at Villa Rosa from the moment we passed through the front door.

Thank you to Josh for your warm/genuine welcome and for the welcome pack. It was much appreciated. It was also a pleasure to meet Ros who gave some helpful tips on places to visit. This is a superb well fitted and maintained Villa and has everything you need to ensure you have a great holiday. The location of the Villa is also ideal being very close to Restaurants, shops and the beach. Congratulations to both Ros & Josh for making Villa Rosa into a 5 star Villa. Love from us both xx”

24th October 2010 by Teresa (STAYED IN OCTOBER 2010)

“Best holiday we have ever had within 48 hours of returning to the Uk we booked again for 2011 would not hesitate in recommending this villa.

Josh and Ross were the perfect hosts and Josh even took us for our shopping now thats what I call service. They are only a phone call away if you have any problems.

Villa is a home from home and the pool is fantastic all of us used it for hours every day and four of the party cant even swim. Handy for all shops, pubs and restaurants but away from any noise also beach five minute walk away.”

20th October 2010 by Teresa (STAYED IN OCTOBER 2010)

“Well we have just arrived back home and we all agree that this has been the best accomodation we have ever had. So handy for everything and Josh was brilliant even took us for our shopping always just a phone call away and what a lovely guy. Pool the best lovely and warm a joy to use, everything was first class and that includes Josh and Ros. We will be back for years to come. Highly recommend this villa but leave some space in the diary for us.”

18th October 2010 by The Walton Family (STAYED IN SEPTEMBER 2010)

“Great villa - location and pool are fantastic! Thanks to Josh the owner for making us feel so welcome.”

4th October 2010 by Paul and Mandy - Burnley. (STAYED IN SEPTEMBER 2010)

“Without doubt the best two week break we have ever had, Josh was fantastic, the Villa was spotless, very well maintained and extremely comfortable with every amenity, nice and private and the pool was a real boon on those sunny Lanzorote afternoons.
We have no hesitation in reccomending this excellent Villa holiday to anyone.
(we have already booked for next year !!!)”

19th September 2010 by Tony, Gloucester (STAYED IN AUGUST 2010)

“A great 2nd time. Our families stayed in 2 other villas close by & Josh even helped them & the grandchildren, nothing was too much trouble. The little ones liked his pool the best. Great location,have already booked for next year, we love it.
Thanks Josh & Ross”

18th July 2010 by MMKC (STAYED IN JUNE 2010)

“Once again another fabulous holiday
Josh was his usual helpful happy chappy
Blue sky in the morning would have been wonderful but that is the one thing Josh couldn't arrange
Once again Many thanks for a great holiday Josh
Malcolm Margaret Ken & Carol”

10th July 2010 by TERRY (STAYED IN JUNE 2010)

“THIS WAS OUR THIRD STAY AT THEVILLA ROSA AND WE HAVE BOOKED AGAIN FOR NEXT YEAR. THAT SAYS IT ALL.,”

14th June 2010 by Darrell, Wigan (STAYED IN JUNE 2010)

“*****5 star accomodation, with welcoming and accomodating host, josh. If you are family of four-six then this is the place to stay! Lovely bedrooms,kitchen etc, with the outside space being the real winner along with the heated pool which the kids loved. Hopefully we will return again soon!”

4th June 2010 by Jane, Middlesbrough (STAYED IN MAY 2010)

“A fantastic villa with everything available. Clean and tidy with excellent facilities. Lovely pool and private patio area. Close to supermarket, beach and lovely restaurants. Would recommend this little gem to friends and family and will definitely stay again in the future. We had a lovely relaxing holiday ... shame we had to come home!”

22nd May 2010 by Suzanne & Steve from Leeds (STAYED IN MAY 2010)

“We have just returned dfrom a weeks stay at Villa Rosa. What a beautiful, clean, well equipped villa! You could not ask for more and the location is fabulous. It is literally a minutes walk to a large super market and 5 minutes to the beach, bars and reastaurants. However, it is also in a quite , peaceful area. We will definately return to the villa again and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thanks for a great holiday Josh & Ros, hope to see you soon.”

4th May 2010 by Brian, Manchester (STAYED IN APRIL 2010)

“We booked for a week but ended up staying longer due to the volcanic ash crisis. Could not have hoped to have been stuck in a better place. Villa was excellent with all the facilities you could wish for and Josh was a source of much needed news re the ongoing situation. Nothing was too much trouble.
Highly recommend this villa and the resort of Costa Teguise ( just keep an eye on that volcano in Iceland.)”

11th April 2010 by The Vaughans, Derbyshire (STAYED IN MARCH 2010)

“We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children (aged 7 and 4). We stayed at Villa Rosa for 1 week (25th March). All the arrangements were made and with good communication. Josh met us on arrival at the villa and gave us a tour. The villa is well-equipped and it was a god send that a welcome pack had been provided as we arrived around 9pm. The following morning the girls hit the pool which had been previously heated, which was lovely. The villa is quite sheltered so we did not feel the traditional breeze the island offers. The patio is fantastic and well equipped with a large table and chairs, 6 sun beds, a BBQ and washing line & pegs. There was a big box filled with inflattable toys for the pool (although this really needed a good sorting out as a lot of the toys in there were broken) and plenty of buckets and spades. There was also a bag which contained snorkle sets and flippers (most of the goggles were broken though). The villa itself is spacious, light and cool. All the windows had shutters which meant you could open the windows for ventilation without having open space, great if you have kids. The security was brilliant. The bedrooms have ceiling fans. We personally felt that the double bed in the master room was a little uncomfortable (hard) but for a week it was ok. The wardrobe space is spot on and had sufficient hangers. The only gripes we had were that the TV channels were poor - especially for kids programmes and the TV kept flicking (like it was on its way out). We also found that we couldn't use the bath in the first bathroom as the mixer tap didn't work, only the shower worked. Other things to consider would be a step-up stool for a bathroom as the girls found the sinks quite high when washing. A new can opener in the kitchen. If you have a late flight home like we did it is worth remembering that you may need to vacate the villa at 10am - whilst we were able to store our luggage at the villa till we departed, there is no facility to get washed and changed..... this can be a long day if you are having to wait around before leaving the resort.

The villa is ideally situated for the beach, 5 mins walk away, and restaurants. There is a great park at the top of the resort which has a bar and coffee shop just outside. We can recommend The Light House restaurant for a nice English breakfast (not greasy) and the The Grill adjacent to it for a lovely steak.

All in all we did enjoy our holiday at Villa Rosa and the weather was pretty good. I would recommend the Villa Rose, perhaps if staying for a week.”

Owner's response: We were quite disappointed with this review because we always ask our Guests to let us know if there is anything they are not happy with so that we can remedy the situation. We want people to come back and also to recommend us, so this makes sense.

The box of Inflatable toys for the pool are what previous Guests leave behind so it's a bit hit & miss with them but we were not aware of the broken goggles in the snorkle sets.

We apologise for your discomfort with the Double Bed but we have not received any complaints about it in the past and , lets face it, we can't accommodate everybody's different tastes in hard or sof beds.

We do explain at the "Meet & Greet" talk that the Satelite choice of programmes is limited because it is not SKY. Once again we were not made aware of the problem with the TV and it has now been replaced.

The people who followed these Guests in told us that there was an intermittant problem with water pressure in one of the Bathrooms, the first we knew of it. We immediately called in a Plumber who sorted it out very quickly.

We appreciate the comment regarding a stool in the bathrooms for children and have now provided these.

As we said earlier we want you to come back again, as an awful lot of our Guests do. However, unless we are made aware of problems then we cannot remedy them which is what we have now done.

10th April 2010 by Karen, Wakefield (STAYED IN APRIL 2010)

“Fantastic accomodation and wonderful host, Josh did everything possible to make our stay perfect. The Villa itself was like home from home, the location etc was really impressive and as stated was only 5 mins walk to beach and shops etc. Would and have already recommended Villa Rosa to friends and family.”

12th March 2010 by Claire, Buckinghamshire (STAYED IN FEBRUARY 2010)

“A fantastic, well equipped, ideally located villa that we returned to once again this year. Excellent for children, especially the private, heated pool. A real home from home that we plan to stay in again soon!”

26th February 2010 by Mark, Stansted (STAYED IN FEBRUARY 2010)

“An excellent villa - close to amenities. We were well looked after. We would certainly recommend.”

22nd February 2010 by Graeme and Izzy. (STAYED IN JANUARY 2010)

“Have been coming to Costa Teguise in Jan/Feb for the last 21 years. This is our 3rd visit to Villa Rosa. Best property we've stayed in. Josh and Roz obviously take great pride in their property which is reflected in the cleanliness/standard of the villa. Both are marvellous hosts who, without being obtrusive, are always available and on hand to provide any assistance or advice you may require. The villa is also in a very convenient location with excellent retaurants and bars a short walk away.
We'll be back next year.”

8th January 2010 by AdieJ (STAYED IN DECEMBER 2009)

“We really enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and welcoming Villa.
Josh was on hand to meet us and run us through the general workings of equipment (dish washer etc), before leaving us to it with a lovely gesture..... "Call me or Ros if you need ANYTHING".
The location, security and feel of the property is very much home-from-home and I can strongly recommend this Villa and also welcome anybody who wishes to ask me anything (rather than the owners), you can do this by emailing me on: amjohnson180@hotmail.com.

Thanks to Josh and Ros for allowing us to stay in Villa Rosa.”

4th January 2010 by paul, leamington spa (STAYED IN DECEMBER 2009)

“Our second stay at Villa Rosa, both at christmas time, Josh was brilliant as usual, any thing you need no matter when or where, josh is always available, villa was first class, pool got much use as weather was in the 80s, location is supurb, close to shops, pubs, restaurants & beach, but far enough away that you did not hear much noise, we will be consulting diary dates as we cant wait to go again, Deb, Paul, SAm , Todd & Scott, leamington spa, warwickshire”

19th November 2009 by monkey (STAYED IN OCTOBER 2009)

“This was our 4th visit to Costa Teguise but 1st to Villa Rosa. An absolute gem of a property!! location is perfect only about 5 mins walk to centre and beach, facilities at Villa Rosa are superb, a real home from home feel. A very private villa with a fanastic pool that was enjoyed by all the family. Would highyl recommend this villa, which has frinedly and helpful hosts who were always at the end of a phone if we needed anything. Hopefully we will return there very soon”

3rd November 2009 by Jane & Paul (STAYED IN OCTOBER 2009)

“We have visited Lanzarote many, many times but only discovered Villa Rosa in 2008, we have been there twice now (so far). The villa is ideally situated for both the beach, shops and resturants. It is beautifully decorated throughout and very well equipped with modern appliances, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, iron & board, hairdryer, tv, cd player, dvd player - in fact everying you could possibly need. Bedrooms are large with ceiling fans and loads of storage for clothes. The patio and pool area is spacious and clean with plenty of chairs/loungers - it also gets sun all day. Having found this gem, we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else when visiting Lanzarote.”

2nd October 2009 by Dave & Pam, Sheffield (STAYED IN SEPTEMBER 2009)

“Stayed in this villa twice already and are counting the days till we can go again. As villas go this is the yardstick against which others should be measured. The location and the standard of facilities is excellent and the hosts Josh and Ros are exceptional - wecoming, accomodating and helpful to a fault.
The only problem with this villa is that it will eventually be so popular we won't be able to book it!”

21st September 2009 by Chris & Tony, Gloucester (STAYED IN AUGUST 2009)

“By far the best villa we have stayed in, very clean & tidy, great location. Any problem large or small Josh & Ross are ready to help you. You don't get that in many villas. Very pleasant couple. Already booked for next year.
We have stayed in 6 villas in Lanzarote & we think this one's the best.”

21st August 2009 by Claire, Buckinghamshire (STAYED IN FEBRUARY 2008)

“This is a really fantastic Villa which had everything we needed (and more). Inside and outside it's equipped to a really high standard and having your own private pool and spacious, secluded patio area is a real bonus. Extra things for our two year old daughter made a big difference e.g. pushchair, paddling pool, beach toys. The Villa couldn't be in a better location either, with shops and restaurants literally just a couple of minutes away and the beach not much further. The owners were incredibly helpful and we plan to return to the Villa again some time soon.”

19th August 2009 by Paul -Middlesex (STAYED IN JULY 2009)

“This is the 1st time we visited this villa but we will definately be back!! Villa is Superb and Josh couldn't have been more helpful in helping us enjoy our stay.I would highly recommend this Villa to anyone,you really will not be disappointed! If you ever read this Josh thanks again for everything and hopefully see you again in 2010!”

11th August 2009 by Steve, Doncaster (STAYED IN MAY 2009)

“Holiday Date: 21st to 28th May 2009

Fantastic Villa everything that we could need. Love the pool used it all time. Would definitely use again. Thanks for your hospitality Josh xxx”

10th August 2009 by John, Newcastle (STAYED IN FEBRUARY 2006)

“Excellent situation, close to all amemities and beaches. Villa is high- standard. Josh and Ross make you feel welcome - could not do enough for you. We will certainley be making a returnj visit.”

8th August 2009 by Sue, John, James & Jack Hornchurch Essex (STAYED IN MAY 2009)

“Villa Rosa was wonderful.and we had a great time. The pool was great even late in the evening it was warm. Couldnt keep the boys out of it. We would like to say bad things and keep the villa for us. But we had a lovely time and everything was excellent. We couldn't have wished for more. Can't wait to go back.”

5th August 2009 by Rosaleen, Glasgow (STAYED IN APRIL 2009)

“We stayed at the villa in April 2009 and had a fantastic week. The villa is extremely well appointed, with everything you could possibly need. The heated pool was a huge hit with our two young children - and the adults!! Josh was extremely helpful and the knowledge that he and Ros are just a phonecall away ensures a relaxing time for all. This was our second visit to the villa and we hope to be back very soon.”

5th August 2009 by Vanda,Stoke (STAYED IN JULY 2009)

“We have stayed at Villa Rosa for the last 4 years and have always has excellent holidays. Josh and Ros are lovely and are willing to help out in any way they can to make your stay perfect. The Villa is superb, well maintained and well equiped. The pool is fantastic! The villa is well situated and within walking distance to the town centre, shops, bars and the beach. We will be having all our holidays there for the forseable future! Would recommend this villa to everyone. Excellent.
