Villa de Roses

My wife and I stayed in this wonderful villa in November 2024. After prior correspondence with the owner of the villa, Claudia, I agreed that, despite the fact that I booked a room without a kitchen, I would be able to use the barbecue I brought with me (basically a simple, cheapest and lightest barbecue). We bought fish at the market, although you can buy it on the right side of Beau Vallon beach - there, fishermen sell freshly caught fish. We bought coal in a nearby store, and brought dry fuel with us. I also asked to be met by car. The owner agreed to help. It cost 40 Euros (600 rupees), which is, in principle, lower than the standard price for a taxi from the airport to Beau Vallon. In the end, we were accommodated in a room with a kitchen. It is very convenient, because you can't really go to restaurants because of the exorbitant prices (for example, spaghetti bolognese in a cafe-restaurant will easily cost you 30 dollars per serving). We cooked breakfasts at the villa ourselves. We had lunch on the beach, and for dinner we made a salad from mango and papaya bought at the market, lettuce and canned tuna from the store, which is quite cheap here (25-30 rupees, which is a little less than 300 rubles in our money at the rate of 7 rubles per rupee). The salad in this version turned out to be very exotic and appropriate for the holiday. The first thing I would like to immediately note about the villa is its extremely convenient location. The villa is located 5-7 minutes from the beach. Opposite, across the road there is a car rental, a cafe and a take away establishment (a more economical alternative to cafes and restaurants) nearby, as well as an ATM. A 5-minute walk will take you to a supermarket, and in another 2-3 minutes to a small area with a liquor store, an exchange office, and 3 more supermarkets. There is also a bakery and a mobile phone operator store there. There is a bus stop within walking distance if you do not plan to rent a car. Although with a rented car you do not depend on anyone, and if it rains, you go to the beach where there is no rain. I have tested this myself. While our neighbors did not leave their rooms for 2 days, buried in their phones, we swam on the southern beaches of the island, where the only reminder of rain was the clouds. So a rental car is a must have, especially since you can return the car at the airport on the day of departure. The second thing about the villa is the beautiful garden with flowering plants and trees. In the morning, when you have breakfast on your terrace, the birds sing and flutter, and the beauty arranged by the owners pleases the eye. The owners are friendly and ready to help with everything. The room is cleaned every 2 days, the bed linen was changed once in 9 days, which, in principle, already meets my expectations. In our room (number 7), Wi-Fi was stable in 80% of cases. The furniture is not new, but quite decent. The bathroom had both a shower and a large full-length bathtub (though without a drain plug, because no way). To each his own. There were no mosquitoes (the fumigator was wasted). There is a parking lot on the territory, which is very convenient. Parked, took things and already home. We saw that in some villas there was a parking lot
