We traveled to Villa Marina as a group of 10 (5 couples). We found it to be exactly as per the online description - beautifully laid out, tastefully decorated, fantastically well equipped and spotlessly clean. The ambience of the villa is lovey making it easy to relax and enjoy the stay. Several touches marked it out from previous holidays - from embroidered towels to the kitchen cupboards overflowing with all the plates, cups, glasses and cooking equipment you could ever need. We made good use of the pool, which provided some respite from the exceptionally hot weather that Portugal was having. We also used the croquet set and pool inflatables which were considerately provided by the hosts. Positionally, the villa is far enough away from the busy streets of Albuferia whilst close enough to the beach and some very decent restaurants (Il Botha in particular). And although there was some building work happening in the area it was largely unobtrusive and certainly not an issue for us.Overall our party were unanimous that the villa itself had added to our enjoyment of our holiday and time we’d spent in The Algarve.

Helena’s Vila Marina is a great place to stay! The house is even better than its pictures; comfortable, elegant, and so spotless! It was very well equipped and perfectly suited for our group of 4 couples that love to cook, bbq, and hang out. The kitchen was so spacious that everyone who wanted to could get involved. We really appreciated the extra fridge and the extra freezer. Helena answered all of our questions very quickly. Her videos made the operation of the various elements of the house very clear. She also made many helpful suggestions that improved our stay. She scheduled the midweek housekeeping around our activities. There was even a set of keys for each bedroom. We all had a great week exploring the Algarve. Thank you, Helena.

Our family enjoyed the property. Helena was awesome too. One of the best property in Europe where i have stayed! I will go back there again

Villa Marine is a beautiful property. The pictures on the website do not actually do it justice and we were shocked by the size, cleanliness and style of the property. The bedrooms were beautiful and everyone had their own bathroom or shower room. We had some minor issues, for example, water drainage in some of the showers but any problems were dealt with immediately with help arriving usually within the hour!! I could go on and on but to sum up I would stay again in this lovely villa. 5 stars. Thank you for our stay.
