The villa was even better than expected. Plenty of space for our group of 10, and the outdoor area was perfect for relaxing. We enjoyed the BBQ and the sea views. The host was very helpful. A wonderful stay overall.

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.
