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.
