We had a great stay at Villa Joanne Marie. The villa is spacious, well equipped with good-sized rooms and plenty of seating.
The Villa is located in a quiet street and it is very well positioned to explore the Algarve and the nearby beaches.
David was very accommodating in supporting us with toddler requirements and was very responsive to messages. He also provided lots of good local information and recommendations.

Property is on a quiet Quinta overlooking the nature reserve, well situated for shops and visiting the area. Very spacious and great as a large family base, with a large and very well equipped kitchen.The pool is on the south side and receives the sun all day, there are a number of different areas for seating in the sun and shade. We were delighted with the villa and the responsiveness of the owner and the local manager. Highly recommend.

Hi Joanna
Thank you so much for your review, it was an absolute pleasure to host you and we are glad you had a great time in the villa. Kind regards David
We really enjoyed our stay in Villa Joanna Marie. We were 7 adults and 3 kids but there was a lot of space in the house so it never felt crowded. The kids really enjoyed the heated pool. There was a super nice restaurant, Quinta da Saudade, just a few minutes drive from the house. The location is very quite but we enjoyed that and the beach is also nice, you can walk but it takes 30 min, but easy to find parking if you drive. We can really recommend a stay in Villa Joanna-Marie!!

We had the most amazing stay at Villa Joanne-Marie! It is a beautiful villa, in a lovely quiet setting with stunning views and great outdoor facilities. We loved the pool, especially the grandchildren. We enjoyed all sitting round the large table outside for relaxed breakfasts and lunches, and had BBQs most evenings. Thank you for a wonderful holiday. We have lovely memories we will always cherish of family time together. Great host and a stunning villa.

The villa is absolutely beautiful, the pictures do not do it justice, especially how spacious the villa is and plenty of space for our group of 9. Everything was absolutely spotless, comfortable beds and lovely pool temperature. The villa is well equipped with everything you might need, plenty of plates, glasses, cutlery etc as well as pots and pans, dishes and even tupperware. David was so friendly and helpful and the information pack we received was much appreciated. The villa is in a lovely quiet location yet easily reached and we would not hesitate to recommend! Thank you very much

Amazing Home, Fabulous Location, Great Owner/Property Manager
We stayed for almost 2 weeks in December over the holidays. The home was perfect for extended family of 7 adults - everyone had ample room and private baths. The common spaces fit all of us easily as we prepared fantastic meals and enjoyed great wines. Gourmet kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed sunsets on the balcony, the pool (we paid to heat it) was a great hit, and walks to the beach (pretty much deserted). We also went to Seville for 2 days (2 hour drive), and did plenty of hiking in Monchique and Foia (mountians) and Lagos (beach). One of our best vacations ever. Owner David was responsive and Property Manager Alistair gave us great tips.

I stayed at Vill Joanna-Marie with my family, 10 of us in total including a baby and 9 year old. The kitchen was very well equipped and we were able to cook meals for us all with no problem at all. The local supermarkets and restaurants were easily accessible using local Ubers for a very reasonable fee. Communication with the owner was excellent and David was very helpful providing is with local information regarding restaurants and boat trips and organised transport to and from the airport via an agent. We had a few issues with the shower drains blocking but these were rectified immediately. We had a lovely time and would recommend the villa.

Really lovely property and very well equipped. There were a couple of observations that the sun loungers had seen better days and the towels were a little threadbare .Also no mats in the bathrooms which meant using the one hand towel provided. Other than that it was all pretty perfect . None of these things would stop me going again but could just improve the overall experience.
