Loved the pool and views
We had an amazing week at Villa Mar. The heated pool was great for evening swims, and the location was quiet yet close to everything. The villa was well-equipped, and having air conditioning in the lounge made a big difference.

Great for groups
The villa was fantastic, with large en-suite bedrooms and a spacious lounge. We spent most days outside enjoying the terrace and pool. The owner checked in to ensure everything was perfect. Highly recommended.
