Villa Mar | 5 Bedrooms | Great Pool & Spa | Quinta do Mar

The villa was beautiful and spacious with a large, well maintained garden. We felt very happy to be there and would absolutely return.

The staff at Seashell are always so helpful and friendly and the villa is in a wonderful location for restaurants, the beach and golf.

Had a really good stay. 5 good ensuite bedrooms. Property managers were efficient and contactable. Nice games room, pretty secluded garden.

We all absolutely LOVED this villa! Exactly what we needed with mixed family groups. The Positives: Very spacious & comfortable with the added leisure facilities (pool & ping pong) such a bonus. Our bed was SO comfortable, and the linens lovely. Fans in each room plus air con if required. The pool & garden are stunning, as well as being private and secure. Close enough to coastline for a lovely walk, and Uber taxis generally cheap & available to get to more built up areas/beaches if you don’t want to walk more than a few kms (best beaches not near villa, but some mega restaurants)! The property management were brilliant; barring the pool heating issue I couldn’t fault them. Very responsive & very helpful. The negatives: Take your own pool towels! This wasn’t stated at all, and didn’t find anywhere to buy any locally. Take your own washing up/cleaning/hand washing materials. I ordered some with our shop that were taken off as “provided” but none were provided. Pool heating/take a thermometer- we paid for heating for the week but not having been before we weren’t sure how warm it should be. Turns out the heater was broken, replaced on last full day and morning of departure was like a bath. Still charged for 6 days (my own fault for not realising the pool temperature was in fact colder than the sea, but upsetting nonetheless). The built in bbq isn’t there anymore sadly; we had a dirty gas one instead. Pool spa & wooden decking- has some very sharp edges the kids cut their feet on. Not something we worried about overly but others might (also worth taking photos on arrival in case; we didn’t, but got worried when the property manager was taking photos prior to our departure!)

Good pool, although jacuzzi kept tripping out. Pool pump failure quickly addressed and sorted. Good barbecue and patio area Initial location instructions could be clearer, including house number (8) and road name would help Downstairs play area dart board and darts very tired Outside bin broken Table tennis balls need replacing Pool towels should be included not an extra Two sets of keys and gate buttons should be included so that groups can split up and be more flexible Provision of plug in mosquito deterrents would be good

A beautiful villa in a fantastic location. The staff at Seashell are always available to help if required and that makes for a very relaxing holiday experience.

Great swimming pool with a nice garden to put a gas BBQ in the garden

All as needed .

We stayed in Villa Mar between December ‘19 and the end of March 2020. The house itself is lovely with a fabulous pool and outside space. It’s well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen and an abundance of towels/bedding etc. The air con is great but during these winter months we used the log burning fire which was beautiful. The staff at seashell were excellent, they came back to us promptly with any concerns we had and attended to the very minor issues we encountered during our stay extremely quickly. The staff were friendly and the maintenance, garden and cleaning teams were brilliant. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this highly professional company and would recommend a stay at Villa Mar for families with kids or just on your own, it was really sensational. I’m not sure I’d say anything here, we were wholly satisfied.
