Roses is steeped in history with origins going back to the 8th century BC when the first settlers arrived here from ancient Greece. The 1960s saw the arrival of international tourists who have since transformed this centuries old fishing port into a thoroughly modern and popular holiday destination.
The town was originally named Rhodes by the Greeks in honour of their homeland. The Romans later developed a thriving fishing industry here and today Roses is home to the Costa Brava's largest fishing fleet, based alongside the modern yacht marina. Fresh fish can be bought from the dockside and the town has some great fish restaurants.

Guest comments
Hi Maggie,
We all very much enjoyed your beautiful villa in Spain – Pool was well used!
Thanks for leaving the wine and chocs – very much appreciated!
Will definitely tell our friends about the villa.
Duncan and Hilda.
Just to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at 'Casa Leander'. The villa was superb. It had all the comforts of home, and we wanted for nothing. My daughter was especially delighted that we could access Sky Movies and my son was equally delighted that he didn't need to miss the British Formula 1 Grand Prix. The pool was well used, as the weather was good almost the whole week we were there. I would also like to add that Margaret was very welcoming and helpful during our stay The villa we moved on to in Calonge in the second week of our holiday was not nearly as well equipped, nor the agent nearly as helpful as Margaret, and we found ourselves missing yours. I will not hesitate to recommend your villa. Regards, Tina Wells July 2011
