Best host ever

The property is exactly as described. Branca is the kindest host we have met, she goes out of her way to help in any way. She even left small gifts for the children which they loved! Thank you Branca. If you are lucky enough to stay at this villa it has absolutely everything a family needs. Location is good for bars/restaurants/beach. I recommend taking a cheap taxi to the old town rather than the strip if you are a family, it’s a nicer atmosphere and has lots of lovely restaurants. We visited the famous caves which are stunning and had a day out at the water park which was super fun. The rest of the time we spent at the pool which was a good size and never over crowded. There is a small shop across the road for basics but if you turn right when you come out of the exit and walk 5 minutes up the road there is a small supermarket which has everything including fresh baked baguettes. You will not regret booking this property if you are visiting Portugal. Branca being the kindest host made it for us! For sure we will return. Lots of love, Claire & family.

5 star

Fabulous property with beautiful garden & pool which my kids loved. The host couldn’t be more helpful, she really made the whole stay seemless and kept in touch throughout the week and even popped by to see us with some tasty Portuguese buns! She also arranged our airport transfers with a local taxi company as we didn’t bother with a hire car. We either walked everywhere or used Uber to go to the water park. Villa has everything you need like washing machine & beach towels. Would highly recommend.

Perfect place to relax and unwind with family

We are just home from a week at Villa Mar. Branca went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best time at her beautiful villa. It was spotless and spacious. Our kids absolutely loved the pool which we often had to ourselves. It was also great to have a tennis court and gardens. Would highly recommend!!

Lovely house with pool

Really nice house with plenty of space. Really liked the garden for breakfasts and evening wine, and the pool was great. Lovely garden and quiet pool. The location was good, close to the strip and short walk to beautiful beaches. Great holiday!

Absolutely magical home from home - tranquil and relaxing

Contact with the owner was wonderful from the moment of booking, and once we arrived we had an amazing time. It truly felt like home from home and everything to make it feel like home had been made available - snorkel, Lilo, bats and balls for the beach, beach towels, bed linen and towels plenty, a bottle of chilled white wine in the fridge even! Branca booked us transfers with a child’s booster seat included and was unbelievably helpful with recommendations too. I could not fault this booking.
