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.

Excellent Holiday location
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.

Lovely 11 nights in beautiful villa
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.

Holiday July 2023
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.

Spacious house with great pool
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!!
