About this property

Villa sea view 7 minutes walk from the beaches with heated pool rooftop

A large, luxurious house full of charm, with predominantly white furnishings and decoration designed by an architect, based on the theme of the sea.
Almost every room in the house has a sea view.

The layout:
5 bedrooms (3 of which are en suite, the other 2 also have their own private bathroom) + a 6th small bedroom with 2 bunk beds. 3 bedrooms with patio doors open onto the garden + 1 bedroom upstairs opens onto a large terrace and the 5th bedroom, with the adjoining small bedroom, opens onto a patio. Each bedroom has its own bathroom (5 bathrooms) - (sleeps 12) + 2 baby cots (please ask us so that they can be made available and prepared).
Large fully-equipped kitchen with bar, living room, boudoir with fireplace, dining room (sleeps 12), patio.
Covered terrace with long table for 12 people, architectural barbecue extended by a herb garden. Plot of 1500m2, decorated with palm trees, oleanders, bougainvilleas, cypresses and fig trees, large saltwater swimming pool, heated and lit, croquet set for 4 people, children's toys, rackets. Outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
Lounge - rooftop (open air) on the roof, accessed from the garden via an external staircase inserted into the architecture of the house, with partially equipped kitchen + plancha, a bar, living room with sofas, armchairs and occasional tables, large dining table and raised bed 2mx2m. It can also be accessed via the Masterbedroom.
The paved entrance courtyard is entered via a gate equipped with a remote control, and can accommodate around ten cars.

As the house can accommodate 5 couples with 2 children, each bedroom is allocated a set of keys for access to the house, as well as a remote control for the gate, allowing everyone to come and go as they please.

Access, house, garden and swimming pool (heated and salt water) were completely renovated during the first half of 2015. As a result, all the equipment in this house is new and state-of-the-art.

We loved the house and Helena’s hospitality!!

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.

Amazing

Vila Marine is absolutely amazing. Photos are great but in reality this Vila is nothing short of excellent. Everything about this Vila is stunning, from the accommodation to the pool to the view. The master bedroom leading out to the terrace is beautiful. Sitting out with our morning coffee taking in the sea view was the perfect way to start the day before spending hours in and out of the fabulous pool with the kids! This Vila definitely has the WOW factor and we didnt want to leave! Cant rate it highly enough!

Fantastisk vecka

Enkelt och smidigt med kontakten med husägaren. Allt fungerade bra! Huset kan rekommenderas för stora sällskap. Vacker utsikt, uppvärmd pool och nära till två stränder. Tar bara en kort stund att gå till hamnen. Det är dock en del backar i området, så för äldre personer är det bra att det finns taxi och tuk tuk att tillgå. Åker gärna tillbaka! Camilla

Amazing house

My extended family (11 of us!) LOVED this house. It is a beautiful home with a fantastic ocean view. The home itself is tranquil and felt luxurious--we all enjoyed the fantastic pool and eating meals outside with the ocean view. The house is also a short walk to 2 great beaches---Sao Rafael was excellent for swimming. Spending time together at the house was one of the highlights of the trip-we would recommend the house to anyone.

Perfect Family Holiday

We couldn’t have found a better property for our family holiday. The house is really beautiful - very well furnished and the master bedroom is a real treat. If the two beaches we would only recommend the one on the right as the left one is too dangerous with hidden rocks at high tide. The pool was a game changer for the younger children in particular. We generally cooked for ourselves and the BBQ was perfect with good equipment. The owner was particularly helpful. Overall a flawless experience thank you.

Beautiful Property in a Beautiful location

Took my extended family of 10 to the property and had an excellent vacation. The property was as beautiful as the pictures showed. We had a private chef and the kitchen was perfect to feed the large group with space for the chef to work. The added bonus was the upstairs bed which allowed us to sleep under the stars comfortably without being bothered by the usual mosquitoes. The property was more than we expected and I would recommend it to anyone wishing a family vacation. If I did find any fault, and I am being picky here it would have been nice to have a fan or two for the nights without a breeze and the coffee maker could use and upgrade as it didn't work but these were so minor issues they are hardly worth mentioning considering how lovely a time we had. My thanks to all the staff that made my 50th birthday holiday one of the best trips ever.

August stay

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.

Paradise in the Algarve

Our group of 10 which consisted of two families with grown children thoroughly enjoyed our stay at beautiful Vila Marine. There was plenty of space for everyone and everything was clean and manicured. The location of the Vila was perfect for our group to explore the area. Beautiful beaches with plenty of stores and restaurants close by. We rented a car and found it necessary for the type of trip we planned. We had a wonderful reception from the property manager and easy and plentiful correspondence with the owner, who gladly gave us referrals before our arrival, All in all this was one of our favorite vacations ever, and will be tough to top. Thank you Helena

Beautiful house, best for summer, groups of 8 or less, and those not interested in staying in touch

Pros: Great location near beautiful beach and 10 min from Albufeira; great views of the sea, palms and adjacent whitewashed villas, particularly from fabulous upstairs deck; house and grounds beautifully designed and furnished with one exception (see below); kitchen very well equipped. Within few minutes' walk of tennis courts at Ponta Grande Resort. Cons: House is NOT winterized, no central heating and electrical room heaters are woefully inadequate; hot water is not reliable and rarely afforded hot showers; house sleeps 12 only counting downstairs bedrooms which are dungeon-like and accessed only from the exterior such that when the house is locked, downstairs occupants cannot gain entry; electrical load limit is inadequate (can not cook and heat the home at the same time) with frequent engagement of master circuit breaker; internet is unacceptably slow and unreliable. The security gate failed for most of the week but was repaired toward the end of our week's stay.
