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.

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!!

Family Holiday 9 adults
Its not often a property when seen first hand actually out does the description and photos, this villa did just that. Every room was decorated and furnished to a high standard and for nine adult family members there was masses of room. The pool and grounds were well looked after and there was plenty of patio furniture and pool items. Most evenings were spent enjoying a drink outside, around the large table. Down in the converted garage was a pool table, table tennis and a dart board, these were all in great condition (there are plenty of darts but bring your own flights). One thing I was concerned about was transport. After reading some horror stories about car hire from Faro I decided not to bother. Booked airport transfers with Suntransfers and then used Uber cars for the rest of the time. Since the villa is not in the center of town we used 2-4 ubers a day and I still saved half the cost of renting. There are some great restaurants nearby and the local Aldi is very handy and cheap. This is the only villa we've rented in southern Europe that did not have a single creepie crawly visitor inside. Overall the villa made our stay so enjoyable, we all fell in love with Portugal, the friendly people and great weather.

Truly Wonderful
We have recently returned from Portugal and are itching to get back. Villa is even better up close and personal. A truly wonderful holiday. So much information is provided of what to do in Portugal. Alistair the property manager was a great help and a massive short to Lordes our airport pick up. If every taxi driver was like her you’d never walk anywhere! We did lots of exploring but whenever we needed her to pick us up she was there. Back to the villa....Beautiful views and totally immaculate. You could hear a pin drop at night. The most peaceful sleep considering you’re not in your own bed. Anyway don’t just listen to me....book it!
