Our stay at Rosamund Villa in early May was the most refreshing follow-up to the trials and tribulations of Cairo. Promptly met by Khyry and his driver after arriving in Luxor on the overnight train, the 6 of us were provided with the most delightful and stylish 3 days. These were managed for us in wonderfully authentic, yet modern accommodation and with the service of the most delightful housekeeper and, if we wished, a local cook.
Khyry, who manages the property, offers a first-rate experience of Luxor and its various local historical sites. Prompt in attending to our collective needs, Khyry was exceptional in his knowledge of antiquities and creative in providing opportunities for us all to experience them.
A few minutes’ walk from the Nile and with a nice vista from the roof terrace, you are on the west bank of the river and in convenient proximity to the Valley of the Kings and the range of other tombs. River taxis run regularly from the nearby dock and provide a convenient and fun trip across the Nile to access Luxor town, its Souk and Luxor Temple. Access to Karnak Temple is not far away.
The climate controlled environment of the villa combined with a traditionally designed build fulfils anyone’s need for high standards and comfort. A delightful experience. Book now!

Perfect holiday villa and location
Villa Rosamund is the most luxurious, beautifully decorated place to stay. We had a wonderful holiday during February half term, in and around the villa as well as visiting all the surrounding area with ease.
Perfectly appointed and maintained, all rooms in the villa were as in the listing and pictures and it was a pleasure to stay there. This was made all the more enjoyable, without doubt, by the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was absolutely delicious every time.
Khyry ensured we spent our days doing exactly what we wanted, at the pace we wanted and for a reasonable price. He was interesting, informative and great fun to be around. We felt totally safe just handing over to him to ensure the smooth running of everything.
There is so much to do in and around Luxor to suit all energies, tastes and budgets. As well as all the usual sights in Luxor, I would really recommend sailing in a felucca at sunset, riding through the villages high up on a camel and chilling by a riverside cafe in the afternoon. We felt totally safe wandering round by ourselves at all times. The people of Luxor were friendly and very welcoming.
Thanks all for a truly memorable holiday. Can't wait to return

I had had the pleasure of staying in Villa Rosamund on two occasions before, but it is not of course until you are back there once more beneath the domes and turrets that you remember quite what a truly special place it is. The total antidote to the modern day package tour where hordes of people arrive like cattle on a plane only to enjoy the sunshine version of what they had left behind back in Blighty, my two week stay in Villa Rosamund offered a complete and much needed contrast to the stresses and strains of life back in London.
Built recently and extremely sympathetically in the Moorish style, it overlooks a banana plantation with stunning views from most angles which can barely have changed for centures . Close enough to the banks of the Nile to be able to walk with ease (not much more than 5 minutes), yet far enough away that you avoid the hustle and bustle and mosquito colonies that enjoy to assemble after sundown- you get the perfect feeling that you are of Luxor, but not necessarily in it. The beautifully designed thick walls and well connected air conditioning meaning that bedrooms are always seductively cool- even when temperatures outside are pushing 100 degrees.
Space is another major plus point here. This well proportioned villa is large enough to accommodate up to ten people comfortably whilst still allowing enough space and nooks and crannies to escape from one another! The roof terrace is a particularly delightful feature- allowing views across the banana plantation and over to the Nile on the one side and to the mountains and the Valleys of the Kings and Queens to the rear. The free standing kitchen on the ground floor is similarly tastefully done (in the French country style) and offers a pleasant environment with a large enough table on which to eat, should you so wish to have a day or night in.
One of the great hidden advantages of booking Villa Rosamund comes in human form- in the form of local celebrity Khyry. With a solid relationship with the owners going back many years, Khyry is the man in the know who can make things happen. Always with his ears to the ground, Khyry makes your every need is catered for- from cheerfully picking you up at the airport (helpfully included in the cost of the rental) to arranging cooks for breakfast and lunch should you so choose, to arranging whatever excursion your own heart desires. Egypt, as they say, is the land of possibilities. I only hope I shall return soon...

Wundervoll!
Wir genossen für 10 Tage unseren Aufenthalt in die wunderschönen Villa und wünschen uns, gerade frisch zurückgekehrt, wieder dorthin zurück. Danke für diesen wunderbaren Urlaub, den wir nie vergessen werden. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet, Khyrys Fürsorge ließ keine Wünsche offen. Mit ihm Land und Leute zu erkunden, wird niemals langweilig. Ganz nebenbei ist sein Humor nicht von schlechten Eltern ;) Auch ein großes Danke an Hadjad, der uns so ausgezeichnet verköstigt hat und diese entzückenden Handtuch-Kunstwerke kreierte, und danke an Mohammed, der stets zu Hilfe eilte und uns mit köstlicher frischer Pfefferminze eindeckte. Wir vermissen die Abende auf der herrlichen Dachterasse und die unvergleichliche Stimmung des orientalischen Lebens. Deswegen ist für uns klar: Wir kommen zurück! So bald wie möglich.
Weiterhin möchte ich - gerade angesichts der aktuellen Lage - ausdrücklich betonen, dass wir uns jederzeit absolut sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt haben. Ägypten ist ein wunderbares Land mit wunderbaren Menschen, und wer sich dem orientalischen Leben mit seinen Eigenarten öffnet, wird unvergessliche Erlebnisse genießen dürfen. Von uns gibt es eine klare Empfehlung für die Villa Rosamund und das dahinter stehende Team!

My brother and I travelled from Asswan to Cairo, and naturally we stopped in Luxor for a few days. However, our stay was far too short. Villa Rosmund is a beautiful house in a calm area on the west bank and an excellent place to relax. The view from the rooftop where Maadi prepared breakfast for us was great – over a banana plantation and the Nile, and on the other side the hills with the valleys of the kings and queens. And breakfast was very fitting to the setting – fresh coffee, juice, fruit salad, good bread, falafel etc and delicious pancakes upon request. The rooms are all spacious, beautifully decorated and equipped with very comfortable beds and interesting animal or plant shapes created out of towels. The house remained very cool despite the heat outside and we did not even have to use the air-conditioning. Thanks to Khayry, our stay was funny and extremely comfortable as he took us around the village and the sights on the west bank, explained a lot about the attractions, suggested activities such as quad biking, recommended restaurants in the area for dinner, and organised everything else as well.
For people like me who don’t know much about Ancient Egypt, there were plenty of books to read about Luxor and the individual sights and hieroglyphs and their meanings. The sights on the west bank are relatively close to the house, and for the sights on the east bank we took a boat. Karnak temple is truly amazing, but it might be useful to have a good guide who shows the entire temple – as holds true for all temples and tombs – as well as to take enough water. Unfortunate for the local economy but fortunate for us, there were not as many tourists as usual, so we could actually enjoy the sights and did not have to fight or wait anywhere.
Overall, it was an amazing stay and I would definitely and wholeheartedly recommend Villa Rosmund without a second thought! It made the trip fantastic and was a nice spot away from the noise and mass tourism. My brother and I very much hope to return in the future!

If you want to visit Luxor, stay here! Location, accomodation, service, ambience - all perfect. Its sooooo much more peaceful on the West Bank but so easy to get to the other side for LUXOR TEMPLE etc... a matter of minutes.
Easy stroll to local restaurants and shops. Everyone in the village is friendly and helpful. We loved everthing about it.
The weather was lovely, the villa truly beautiful. The views from the roof alone would have had made the whole trip worthwhile.
Khyry will, if you wish, remove all the pain and stress from everything you could possibly want to do. He is funny, reliable, informative and has a wonderful CAN DO attitude.
Villa Rosamund provides a truly authentic Egyptian experience. I thoroughly recommend it.

Excellent place, felt like we had arrived in a Palace. All the rooms were of a good quality with either bathrooms en suite or next door. Christopher is generous and understanding and couldn't be a better owner to deal with. His caretaker kyhry was excellent and was friendly and funny. We had a really good time and would always recommend this house to anyone who wanted to rent. Very hot in August but it is a dry heat so manageable especially with the hotel nearby to lie in the shade and swim during the hottest hours. If you are going to Luxor don't hesitate this is a great place to rent.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Villa Rosamund, Luxor this Easter. We did not know quite what to expect and treated the experience as a bit of a stab in the dark. Despite having two young children (4 and 7) and the weather being rather hot we managed to see a great deal of fascinating Egyptian sites including the Valley of Kings, Mortuary temple of Hapshepsut, Karnak etc. This was all made possible with Khyry's help, which transformed the holiday into a truly memorable experience. I could not recommend it enough.

The best place at the westbank
Wir waren zum 6. mal in Luxor, aber nie war es so schön. Dieses Haus ist ein Traum! Architektonisch mehr als gelungen, in hervorragender Lage und mit einem Traumblick von der Dachterasse. Khyry als Verwalter ist perfekt: Unaufdringlich, kompetent, intelligent und sehr witzig, ein Kenner des Landes und seiner Geschichte. Er war immer da, wenn wir ihn brauchten. Danke auch an Hassan und Said für wundervolle Frühstückstische und eine rundum tolle Betreuung.
Wir kommen wieder!!!

Together with a friend and her daughter and our daughter we stayed in Villa Rosamund in El Gezira on the West bank of Luxor from 13 to 22 April 2011. It was a successful stay and an unforgettable holiday in every way. First of all let us say that we felt we felt perfectly safe at all times. There is a total misperception in Europe about the current situation in Egypt. Especially in Luxor people are most friendly and running there business as usual (though the number of visitors has decreased substantially). We walked and biked around on our own in the village and neighboring countryside and in the city without any problem, we took taxis, boats and caleches, made a camel ride to a Coptic monastery..: we moved freely around visiting many of the wonderful sites in and around Luxor.
Of course our comfort was also for a large part due to the Villa. It is a marvellous house. As we walked around in the village we were invited – in the Egyptian hospital tradition – to have a look in other villas that can be rented and to drink coffee. Villa Rosamund has probably the most tasteful interior in the village ! The sober interpretation of the traditional way of building creates a wonderful atmosphere in the house, and spending the evening on the rooftop under the clear sky and in the quietness of the village is unbeatable. Or maybe to take a late ferry boat from Luxor to cross the Nile and walking through the village and the fields around the housing cluster of the villa comes close to that experience… .
Our feeling of comfort was also largely due to the good care of Khyry. He was the perfect guide and host. Small problems in the house were solved quickly, the breakfast was perfect and Khyry’s company was a pleasant experience. So we recommend to have a holiday in the Villa Rosamund to our best friends even and hope to go back ourselves once…

We had a week's stay at the villa in early January. It was quite delightful.
The villa is set on the edge of a banana grove which gives a rural feel although it is minutes from the ferry crossing on the West Bank of the Nile. It is an easy run to the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, the massive statue of Ramses the Second as well all the other sites. There are lovely simple hotels nearby if you want a drink and a meal in a verdant garden.
As for the villa, it has been built in traditional style with great charm and character but to the highest specification.There is a delightful courtyard on the ground floor and a stunning view out over the Nile from the rooftop balcony. Great care and thought has been put into providing every comfort and convenience you might wish for like washing machines, hairdryers and all those details which create a home from home. The beds are big and luxurious and the bathrooms fresh and bright. The kitchen is beautifully equipped though with lovely local food on offer at very good prices, we didn't do any cooking!
We were wonderfully looked after by Khyry, the delightful local partner who speaks excellent English. A delicious traditional breakfast of flat bread, falafels, strawberry juice and honey is available on request. He also took us to some lesser well known sites as well as to the favourite attractions. He set up for us a memorable night on a felucca in Aswan which we would strongly recommend.
We had a taste of the real Egypt on our visit and enjoyed its charm and character without sacrificing comfort and cleanliness. Strongly recommended!

Villa Rosamund
We had a week's stay at the villa in early January. It was quite delightful.
The villa is set on the edge of a banana grove which gives a rural feel although it is minutes from the ferry crossing on the West Bank of the Nile. It is an easy run to the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, the massive statue of Ramses the Second as well all the other sites. There are lovely simple hotels nearby if you want a drink and a meal in a verdant garden.
As for the villa, it has been built in traditional style with great charm and character but to the highest specification.There is a delightful courtyard on the ground floor and a stunning view out over the Nile from the rooftop balcony. Great care and thought has been put into providing every comfort and convenience you might wish for like washing machines, hairdryers and all those details which create a home from home. The beds are big and luxurious and the bathrooms fresh and bright. The kitchen is beautifully equipped though with lovely local food on offer at very good prices, we didn't do any cooking!
