Mar Azul is enviously located in Cala del Portichol, or Cala Barraca. Famous for its Instagram-able whitewashed fisherman houses and scenic views of Portichol island.
The villa is a leisurely 8-minute downhill walk away from the pebbled beach and sparkling waters of the Med. Two private, road level, parking spaces are a God send in the busy Summer months. From the parking area, the villa is reached by stone clad steps that lead up and around the pretty terraced gardens.
Divided into two independent floors, the top half of the property is on the same level as the swimming pool and BBQ area; a fabulous entertainment space complete with sunbeds, deckchairs, and an outdoor dining table, all surrounded by lush trees and Mediterranean flowering plants. There are also sea views from the pool area.
Inside, two good size bedrooms, a large double (180 x 190cm) and a twin room with two single beds, share a family bathroom with bath and overhead shower and a handy separate washroom. On the same floor, the kitchen looks out over a breakfast bar to the large lounge-diner; a relaxing space with high ceilings, lots of light and heaps of Mediterranean charm. Outside, a partially covered terrace offers alfresco dining and a lovely panorama of pine trees and distant glimpses of the sea.
The third bedroom has a large double bed (180 x 190cm) that can be separated into two individual beds to suit guests needs. Accessed via stairs at the side of the house, and complete with its own lounge, Smart TV, fridge, and en-suite shower room, this space is more like its own private apartment. All three bedrooms offer guests quality beds, air-conditioning, built-in wardrobes, and mosquito nets on the windows.
JH Top Tip – Get up and out early to beat the summer crowds that head down to the beach. Join a kayak tour to Portichol Island or take lunch at one of the coves two restaurants.
