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.

Perfect family getaway

Villa Mar was ideal for our family holiday. The heated pool was fantastic, and the kids loved it. The views were stunning, and the villa was spotless. We had groceries delivered, which was very convenient. The location near the beach made everything easy.
