We had seen the great reviews and the images of the villa looked lovely, however it was better than we thought it would be. Lots of space. Light airy rooms and the pool area was large with lots of space for all of us. A wonderful spot for a family holiday
Stayed as a family of 8 with 2 young children. We had the best holiday. The Villa was perfect! Mark was a great host, nothing was ever too much trouble! Would definitely recommend!
2 families stayed and had plenty of space inside the villa and around the spotless pool. We would all highly recommend it!
This villa is so big and modern and has everything you need for a self catering holiday in the sun.
It is a short drive into Carvoeiro and taxis were easy to book and around 5 euro each way.
Mark the host was helpful and friendly from booking to checking out and responded to any questions really quickly.
The villa itself was stunning but the added extras made the holiday so much more enjoyable. Large sun canopies over the seating area offered shade, the kitchen by the pool made getting drinks easy and the games room was a welcome break from the midday sun.
We were a bit sceptical about using VRBO as this was our first time, however the 5 star communication with the host Mark, soon put our minds at rest. From the start, even before booking, Mark was extremely helpful and was able to answer any questions we had. Mark lives in the area and was on hand from our first communication right through to the end of our stay with advice and recommendations for local restaurants etc. Mark also arranged our airport transfers.
On arrival, Mark was there to greet us and gave us a tour of the villa, to describe it as amazing doesn't seem good enough!! The villa was a real home from home, and has everything you could possibly want or need. We went with family and it was great that everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms. The games room was also a massive bonus and well used during our stay. The outside area was perfect to spend some precious time with family. The villa was modern and well maintained with gardeners coming in weekly, along with the cleaners and pool guy.
All in all, this is probably the best holiday we have had as a family, and we will be back!
Again, a massive thank you to Mark, to Rachel the cleaner, and to the rest of the team who made our holiday amazing.
We were a group of 5 - all female including 3 sisters, a niece and my daughter. We were impressed by the online photos on the website but in reality the villa is far superior again. The quality of furnishings. The space. The luxury. And we all had our our room and bathroom. The pool was perfect as was the patio area. The villa is in a beautiful residential quiet suburb but the town of Carvoeiro was 5 minutes in an Uber. This is a bustling town with direct access to the beach lots of shops and restaurants. It had a lovely holiday vibe each night. There was a little convenience store about 2/3 mins walk from the villa for everything you need. Mark - the host is simply 1st class. From the moment we booked until the moment we left he organised everything for us including our airport transfers. He was there on an arrival to greet us and give us a tour of the villa. I rate this villa 5 stars. And indeed the whole holiday was too. Having been to Portugal twice before, this was easily the most enjoyable stay and that is down to Mark and the luxury of this glorious villa. We very much look forward to returning to Sesmarias again very soon. Couldn’t recommend this property enough. ⭐️
We were a party of 2 families with 4 children aged from 4-14 years and there was something for everyone at this villa. Plenty of space, loads of shade, plenty of places to be in the sun all day too. Small mini market just up the road and the owner, Mark, couldn’t have been more accommodating, helpful and friendly. We would book this property again year after year. Less than min taxi journey to carvoiero but a very peaceful location. Wouldn’t change a thing about the stay, other than we wished we could’ve stayed longer
Super place for a family break. Masses of space and the facilities are first class. Kids loved the pool every day as well as the games /tv area. Mark our host was really helpful and always available for advice.
Location near enough restaurants to walk out to with the town a short drive away.
Even got some golf in. Would definitely return.
From the moment that you walked up the steps and into the garden this villa really felt like a home away from home. We were greeted by Mark who was very friendly and incredibly helpful throughout our stay, giving us lots of information and some excellent recommendations. The villa is kitted out with everything you could need and the downstairs bar and games room was an absolute treat to have. Our son stayed in the pool room and said it was the best place he had ever stayed in, high praise indeed!! We had an amazing two week stay and didn’t want it to end. We will definitely be returning to the very beautiful Portugal next year❤️
A lovely villa, the kids loved the pool and the games room. Mark the host was amazingly responsive to all questions, and best of all there were some cool beers waiting for us on arrival, thank you
The villa is simply fantastic. Immaculately clean. Pool area is great and the games room is a massive bonus. Mark, the host, was excellent. Answered all questions before and during the visit and was there to greet us on arrival. Walking distance to 2-3 eating places - including one really good restaurant - a great little(cheap) locals bar and a good mini market. Ten mins in a cab to carvoiero. Would recommend unreservedly.
The villa is situated in a quiet location with a glorious view down to the ocean. It has everything you could want from more than enough cutlery, glasses and crockery. 5x large bedrooms all en suite, with the what i would describe as the master suite having 2 sets of bifold windows and roof terraces with amazing views. The pool was large enough for all 8 staying to play water volleyball. The main living area is spacious and open plan on the first/ground floor and kitchen very well equipped. The lower floor has a great games room with pool table, darts and bar. Outside there is more than enough space to enjoy the Portugese sun all day, with a bbq area and seating. To sum up...if you get the chance to rent this superb property, jump at the chance...Carveiro is fantastic for nights out...Sesmaris has a local supermarket which is well stocked and has pastries, pain au chocolat for brekkie. It also has 2 small resturantes which serve good food...but for great cuisine Carveiro is the place to enjoy.
For families there are 2x water parks within 10-15mins of the villa.
But what really made the holiday was Mark (owner) whose communication leading up to the holiday was 1st class...he greeted us on arrival to show us around, and was even prepared to drive my partner down to Carveiro to pick up a hand made birthday cake...now thats is truly going above and beyond as a host.
A great villa for a large group, it was clean, spacious and superbly equipped. We made good use of the pool, barbecue and pool table. Great communication from Mark prior to and during our stay. Mid-stay clean was great. Location was good; nice and quiet and only a short drive into the town. A couple of lovely restaurants and a small supermarket within walking distance. We hired a car and enjoyed exploring the area. Would definitely recommend.
We all (4 adults and 4 children aged 13-17) really enjoyed our stay.
Mark was excellent throughout the process, he was there to meet us when we arrived and gave us a few tips on the local area, where to eat, shop etc.
The villa was more than we expected, room sizes were great, they were exceptionally clean, great for socialising but we also all had our own space. Couldn’t have asked for more.
Location is also very good, really close to Carvoeiro, Portimão, Golf courses beaches and not too far from Faro and Lagos.
Overall we had a brilliant week in the Algarve and a big part of this was the villa. Would recommend this villa without hesitation.
Had an absolutely fabulous 2 weeks staying at Casa San Marco. The accommodation was second to none. The interiors were brilliantly finished throughout and all the facilities you could possibly think of were available at the villa. The bar and games room adjacent to the pool made for a really relaxing and fun time on our holiday.
Fabulous Modern Clean Villa close to a few Restaurants & Bars
Lovely modern, spacious, clean villa, within easy walking distance to a few restaurants and local bars in the village.
Mark the host was very welcoming, will definitely be back.
Great for a relaxing holiday .
The villa is just as in the pictures, bright and modern. There were a few things I wish I had been aware of before staying here. The 'blue' bedroom is situated in the basement to the rear of the games room and not accessible from the main house, because of this we chose not to use it. In August the sun is on the pool from about 10.30/11 am until 6pm. The pool is small, ok for a few games and to cool off but not really big enough for swimming. The electricity trips over and over again if you use the oven unless everything else is turned off. There are a few noisy dogs in the vicinity. All of this said we did have a good time and the villa has everything you need. Mark the property manager is extremely helpful and responds quickly to any issues, e.g. the pool pump failed whilst we were there and it was fixed within 48 hours.
A beautiful well maintained villa in a quite area, we had a lovely relaxing chilled out holiday at the villa.
The owner agent Mark was very helpful prior to us visiting the property and during our stay.
We were a family of four adults and would definitely return to the villa if we have the opportunity.
We have stayed at a few villas but this one has been the best. From the help Mark Cole gave us from local questions to hiring a car - excellent service!! To a villa which suited a group of 7 adults, there was plenty of space to have personnel space as well as communal areas. It was very well laid out and kept to a high standard. The location was great for us as we wanted a quiet place but with easy access to the local town - an evening walk of 40 minutes was lovely. Would definitely recommend villa, location and management.
We had the most wonderful week in this fabulous villa, such a beautifully presented property that really is a home away from home. The games room is a great feature which kept us all entertained many evenings.
The villa is in a great location, close to Carvoeiro with many lovely beaches only a short drive away.
Mark was a great host, greeting us on arrival and making us feel very welcome. Also on hand if we needed anything.
We will definitely be coming back to this villa again in the future!
Our family of 8 adults had the perfect week in this fabulous villa a real home from home with everything you need for your holiday. The 5 bedrooms, all ensuite, are huge with very comfortable beds. The villa was spotlessly clean and the check in process simple even though we were late arriving due to a delayed flight, this wasn't a problem for Mark who was there to meet us and show us around.
We made full use of the bbq and outdoor seating area which was plenty big enough for all 8 of us. The pool was great and we all enjoyed the games room. We hired a car which is required if you want to go into the town although we did have a taxi into Carvoeiro one night and it only cost around 6 Euros. There are a number of cafes and restaurants within walking distance and a very well stocked supermarket less than 5 minutes walk away.
This is our 9th year holidaying in villas in The Algarve and this is the best villa we have stayed in.
We had a lovely 10 days at the villa. We are a family group of seven adults and there was more than enough room here for all of us. We spent many fun filled evening in the games room. All the rooms a spacious and it is very clean throughout. There are a few good places to eat and a little shop all in easy walking distance. We hired a car and enjoyed Ferragudo in the day and took a taxi there in the evening. Alvor was our favourite beach, miles of white sand and nice places to eat, it's a lovely old town.
Mark was really helpful from our first contact with him when booking the villa. He met us at the villa on our arrival, gave us great information for our stay and did everything he could to make our stay perfect. Thank you Mark and team for a great holiday.
This is an ideal villa for a large family; we travelled with our son daughter and 3 grandchildren aged 9,7 and 5. The Villa is easy to find and is located in the quiet suburb of Sesmarias. The town of Carvorio is approx 4Ks away. The Villa is spacious and very well appointed with 5 bedrooms comfortable living room and modern kitchen with all necessary equipment. The basement has a great games room with pool table and bar with a cinema room with big screen TV and play station. The swimming pool is a good size with plenty of space for fun and games as well as a large area for relaxing. We were met by Mark who was very helpful in answering all our questions and queries, nothing was too much trouble.
This is a wonderful villa to spend a great holiday and I have no hesitation in recommending.
