Casa San Marco - Sleeps 10

Highly recommend this property. Location is residential but still quiet. Restaurant and local shop in easy walking distance, with 3 big supermarkets in 10 mins drive. Owner is nearby but not at all intrusive and communications excellent. All rooms very clean with excellent aircon, two of the 5 bedrooms are massive and all others are good doubles all with ensuite. Downstairs games room with very high quality pool table, large extra TV and sitting area with additional kitchen (including 2nd fridge and dishwasher) means you get two homes for one! Wireless Internet good throughout. Outside area has both shady and sunny areas and large brick built barbecue. Carvoeiro itself is a short taxi away and has a great atmosphere and loads of restaurants, water park close by too. Silves nearby medieval town worth a visit. And Burger King in Lagoa if you fancy it!

Perfect Villa for a family holiday, quiet location and the property had everything you could ask for, we had a fantastic time and can’t fault anything, the kids loved the pool and games room on the ground floor. Host Mark was very welcoming and available for advice or issues, we would definitely book the Villa again.

Villa San Marco is stunning. It is equipped with everything you need on holiday, plus some things you never knew you needed. Host was very friendly, giving good information before arrival and at check in. Always helpful, we had no issues while we were there. Location is very peaceful, generally very quiet at night except for occasional dogs barking. There are some good pizza restaurants within easy walking distance, this may be heresy to the locals but we preferred Casa João over Luisa's, but they were both pretty similar. This villa could easily accommodate 3 couples or large family. The downstairs games room was excellent. There was also a second kitchen on this floor. Very handy for BBQ nights. There is also a chill out/TV/game room on this floor and a separate bedroom with en suite. An excellent area for teenagers.

We had seen the great reviews and the images of the villa looked lovely, however it was better than we thought it would be. Lots of space. Light airy rooms and the pool area was large with lots of space for all of us. A wonderful spot for a family holiday

Stayed as a family of 8 with 2 young children. We had the best holiday. The Villa was perfect! Mark was a great host, nothing was ever too much trouble! Would definitely recommend!

2 families stayed and had plenty of space inside the villa and around the spotless pool. We would all highly recommend it! This villa is so big and modern and has everything you need for a self catering holiday in the sun. It is a short drive into Carvoeiro and taxis were easy to book and around 5 euro each way. Mark the host was helpful and friendly from booking to checking out and responded to any questions really quickly. The villa itself was stunning but the added extras made the holiday so much more enjoyable. Large sun canopies over the seating area offered shade, the kitchen by the pool made getting drinks easy and the games room was a welcome break from the midday sun.

We were a bit sceptical about using VRBO as this was our first time, however the 5 star communication with the host Mark, soon put our minds at rest. From the start, even before booking, Mark was extremely helpful and was able to answer any questions we had. Mark lives in the area and was on hand from our first communication right through to the end of our stay with advice and recommendations for local restaurants etc. Mark also arranged our airport transfers. On arrival, Mark was there to greet us and gave us a tour of the villa, to describe it as amazing doesn't seem good enough!! The villa was a real home from home, and has everything you could possibly want or need. We went with family and it was great that everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms. The games room was also a massive bonus and well used during our stay. The outside area was perfect to spend some precious time with family. The villa was modern and well maintained with gardeners coming in weekly, along with the cleaners and pool guy. All in all, this is probably the best holiday we have had as a family, and we will be back! Again, a massive thank you to Mark, to Rachel the cleaner, and to the rest of the team who made our holiday amazing.

We were a group of 5 - all female including 3 sisters, a niece and my daughter. We were impressed by the online photos on the website but in reality the villa is far superior again. The quality of furnishings. The space. The luxury. And we all had our our room and bathroom. The pool was perfect as was the patio area. The villa is in a beautiful residential quiet suburb but the town of Carvoeiro was 5 minutes in an Uber. This is a bustling town with direct access to the beach lots of shops and restaurants. It had a lovely holiday vibe each night. There was a little convenience store about 2/3 mins walk from the villa for everything you need. Mark - the host is simply 1st class. From the moment we booked until the moment we left he organised everything for us including our airport transfers. He was there on an arrival to greet us and give us a tour of the villa. I rate this villa 5 stars. And indeed the whole holiday was too. Having been to Portugal twice before, this was easily the most enjoyable stay and that is down to Mark and the luxury of this glorious villa. We very much look forward to returning to Sesmarias again very soon. Couldn’t recommend this property enough. ⭐️

We were a party of 2 families with 4 children aged from 4-14 years and there was something for everyone at this villa. Plenty of space, loads of shade, plenty of places to be in the sun all day too. Small mini market just up the road and the owner, Mark, couldn’t have been more accommodating, helpful and friendly. We would book this property again year after year. Less than min taxi journey to carvoiero but a very peaceful location. Wouldn’t change a thing about the stay, other than we wished we could’ve stayed longer

Super place for a family break. Masses of space and the facilities are first class. Kids loved the pool every day as well as the games /tv area. Mark our host was really helpful and always available for advice. Location near enough restaurants to walk out to with the town a short drive away. Even got some golf in. Would definitely return.
