Villa a Mare is such a unique property. 9 of us stayed on the property ranging in age from 11-73. The proximity to the water was the biggest plus of the property AND the location. The home is close to other beaches like Santa Maria that we loved and seemed very central to places to eat etc. We have an 11 and 14 year old who loved playing in the safe coastal waters, we bought a little fishing rod and some bats and balls to keep them entertained too. We had a few requests for the owner who was quick to respond and helped make our stay wonderful, and gave us great beach and restaurant recommendations.
