Rustic 2 Bedroom Detached Villa, Private Pool, Air-Con. Very Close To The Beach.

Villa served as a good base to explore local areas all within walking distance, and also further afield via car and train with the local station being only a 10 min walk away.Owner Mark was prompt to respond to any queries which was appreciated. In our opinion the villa is in need of some updating and maintenance – pool loungers are uncomfortable as cushions are old, worn and very thin. Much needed shade is limited as whilst there is a canopy this does not block out sun for much of the day – a parasol on the table would be beneficial Mattress on double bed is very thin and uncomfortable. Outside area would benefit from an additional light for alfresco dining in the evening. Whilst the washing machine is useful the clothes airer is brokenThe bath mats are worn out and in need of replacement and locks on bathroom doors would be beneficial!We would have found a welcome pack containing general information about the accommodation and the local area helpful as on occasions pool maintenance man turned up unannounced and also a cleaner entered the property in our absence on the third day of first week which was not expected. In summary we had a enjoyable two-week holiday in this small rustic villa which served as a good base to explore quieter areas of the Eastern Algarve. However, we feel that the property is compromised by low standards of upkeep.

Very rustic 2 bedroom villa, just as advertised. In a nice quiet location, parking in drive and private pool. Everything you need in the villa. Ive given 5 stars as loved the place but few things could do with updating, especially outside sun blind. Had a couple of problems but owner replied and issues were resolved straight away.

I don’t normally leave reviews but I’ll make an exception in this case. Don’t be fooled by pictures- property is very tired and dark. I have stayed about 12 times in Cabanas and this was by far the most disappointed I’ve been. Just told a key was under mat when we arrived - no showing you the property and where anything was, and it’s wildly overpriced for what you get. I could go on but what’s the point. Will definitely not be returning to here.

Fantastic little villa! A little old fashioned but just how I like it! Great location just a 10 minute walk to fantastic restaurants and shops and where you can get a little taxi boat over to the lovely beach! Hosts were amazing ! Let us check in a little earlier because our daughter was unwell and super quick replying to my messages when I needed them! Would definitely go back again! Happy memories :) x

Loved this little cosy cottage. Situated in a great place about 10 mins walk from Main Street with restaurants & shops & beach. The only fault I could say is no full body mirror which could have come in handy for us ladies, the bathroom light is faint, & not much room for drying clothes. I did mount a string at the front of the garden which helped a bit. The pool also got dirty very quickly with the leaves & bugs so could do with a more regular clean! Everything else was perfect, thank you and we shall definitely recommend and hopefully stay again soon!!!

Enjoyed a peaceful week in a none typical accommodation. It was very clean, quaint, pool is a nice touch and professionally put together. It was down a quiet if “in need of repair” street and nowhere near the seafront or strip of bars and restaurants. That area was only a 15-20 minute walk away. It was a surprise after only seeing the photos that the pool is in the front garden and there’s no back to speak of (other than a fantastic lemon tree). The road was so quiet that laying in the sun or pool was still secluded for the most part. The streets of the neighbourhood were well worn and in disrepair in some cases, especially the roundabout around which the quaint streets resided. Adding to that the dogs barking in protection of their properties the first few nights and it was “interesting”. (We made friends with some of the big dogs and by the end of the week they were expecting us ☺️). Other things you expect a little of “rustic”. The second bedroom was remodelled from the garage. It’s very small overall but we loved that. The bathrooms were well worn and bath drained with difficulty. The appliances were very old. But the experience great. The only real negative was the bed which neither of us slept well in. We enjoyed our time and enjoyed being central to the village so walking distance to several very good restaurants and grocery stores. Many thanks to Mark as well for saving us when locked out as there was a secret buried key. ?

We stayed for 2 weeks and loved our time in this beautiful house! Villa De Mar was very comfortable, clean and in a great location; it was more than we expected and everything we needed! Just minutes to Cabanas beach and within easy walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants, also only a very short drive to the historic town of Tavira We can't wait to come back. Thank you for the great memories!

We stayed in this lovely accommodation in September this year and had a fantastic holiday. The accommodation was outstanding and everything was provided to a very high standard. The location was perfect for the beach and Cabanas itself. The owners were extremely helpful throughout. Thank you for a great holiday.

Absolutely beautiful villa, we had a lovely holiday there with my partner and little girl. The pictures do not do the villa justice as the pool is bigger than it appears and the rooms are stylishly decorated. The villa is extremly clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful. It is in a fantastic area within easy reach to the nearby restaurants and very close to the beach. The shops have everything you would need from lilos to milk and the supermarket is less than 10 minutes walk away. Me and my family would defiantly love to visit this villa again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A Beautiful Villa, Pool and Gardens and very friendly and helpful owners. We very much enjoyed our stay, the Villa is well equipped and maintained and has everything you need for a quiet relaxing holiday. Well placed for a choice of local restaurants and a little further to the main water front where there are numerous restaurants and shops. If you like the beach, there is a perfect beach in Cabanas and many more not that far away. All in all we had a thoroughly great time and will hopefully return soon.
