    The Villa

    Casa San Marco is a spacious and stylish five-bedroom villa near Carvoeiro, offering an excellent combination of privacy, generous living space and easy access to the Algarve's beaches, restaurants and golf courses.

    Sleeping up to 10 guests, the villa is particularly well suited to larger families, groups of friends and multi-generational holidays.

    The main living areas are bright and comfortable, while the villa's generous layout gives groups plenty of space to spend time together without feeling crowded.

    Five bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements, with a combination of king, queen and twin beds to suit families and groups travelling together.

    All bedrooms benefit from air conditioning, providing a comfortable retreat after warm Algarve days.



    A Villa With Space to Spread Out

    One of Casa San Marco's standout features is the additional lower-level living and entertainment area.

    Alongside a separate kitchen, guests have access to a bar, pool table, games console, additional television and comfortable seating.

    The second kitchen also includes its own fridge and dishwasher, making this area particularly useful for larger groups and relaxed poolside meals.

    It gives the villa a valuable degree of flexibility: teenagers can have their own space, different generations can spread out, and groups can enjoy separate areas while still holidaying together.



    Pool & Outdoor Living

    The large private swimming pool is at the heart of Casa San Marco's outdoor space.

    There is generous room around the pool for sunbathing and relaxing, together with shaded areas for escaping the Algarve sunshine.

    The surrounding terraces provide plenty of space for outdoor dining and socialising, while the large brick-built BBQ makes it easy to enjoy relaxed meals together.

    With its combination of pool, terraces, BBQ and outdoor seating, the property is particularly well suited to guests who enjoy spending long summer days at the villa rather than heading out every day.



    Location

    Casa San Marco is situated in a peaceful residential area on the outskirts of Carvoeiro, giving guests the advantage of a quieter setting while remaining within easy reach of the village and surrounding attractions.

    A local mini-market, with fresh bread and everyday essentials, is within walking distance. There are also restaurants and cafés nearby, while larger supermarkets are approximately 5 minutes away by car.

    The centre of Carvoeiro is less than 10 minutes away by car, offering a wide choice of restaurants, bars, shops and the popular village beach.

    Taxis and Uber are readily available for guests who prefer not to drive.



    Golf & Beaches

    Golfers are particularly well positioned, with Gramacho and Pinta golf courses approximately 5 minutes away by car.

    The surrounding coastline offers numerous beaches and coves to explore. Praia Grande in Ferragudo is approximately 10 minutes away by car, with golden sand and beach bars overlooking the water.

    The wider Algarve also offers excellent opportunities for coastal walks, boat trips, water parks and day trips to towns and villages throughout the region.



    Travelling with a Larger Group?

    Casa San Marco is located directly alongside our other properties Casa Descoberta and Casa Joshollie.

    The three neighbouring villas can accommodate up to 24 guests across 13 bedrooms, allowing larger families and groups of friends to stay together while retaining the privacy, space and facilities of their own villa.

    Casa San Marco: sleeps 10

    Casa Descoberta: sleeps 8

    Casa Joshollie: sleeps 6

    This makes the three villas particularly well suited to large family gatherings, groups of friends, golf groups and multi-family holidays.



    A Villa Designed for Larger Groups

    Whether your ideal holiday involves relaxing around the pool, enjoying a BBQ with friends, exploring the Algarve's beaches and coastline, or simply having plenty of space for everyone to unwind, Casa San Marco provides a comfortable and flexible base.

    With five bedrooms, a large private pool, sea views and an extensive second living and entertainment area, the villa offers the space and facilities that larger groups need for a relaxed Algarve holiday.



    Pool heating: €30 per night.

Great Family retreat

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.

Perfect family holiday

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

Extended family holiday

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.

Stunning!

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❤️

Gorgeous villa

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.

Highly recommend this property. Location is residential but still quiet. Restaurant and local shop in easy walking distance, with 3 big supermarkets in 10 mins drive. Owner is nearby but not at all intrusive and communications excellent. All rooms very clean with excellent aircon, two of the 5 bedrooms are massive and all others are good doubles all with ensuite. Downstairs games room with very high quality pool table, large extra TV and sitting area with additional kitchen (including 2nd fridge and dishwasher) means you get two homes for one! Wireless Internet good throughout. Outside area has both shady and sunny areas and large brick built barbecue. Carvoeiro itself is a short taxi away and has a great atmosphere and loads of restaurants, water park close by too. Silves nearby medieval town worth a visit. And Burger King in Lagoa if you fancy it!

Superb villa

Villa San Marco is stunning. It is equipped with everything you need on holiday, plus some things you never knew you needed. Host was very friendly, giving good information before arrival and at check in. Always helpful, we had no issues while we were there. Location is very peaceful, generally very quiet at night except for occasional dogs barking. There are some good pizza restaurants within easy walking distance, this may be heresy to the locals but we preferred Casa João over Luisa's, but they were both pretty similar. This villa could easily accommodate 3 couples or large family. The downstairs games room was excellent. There was also a second kitchen on this floor. Very handy for BBQ nights. There is also a chill out/TV/game room on this floor and a separate bedroom with en suite. An excellent area for teenagers.

Amazing!

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.

A week of luxury

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. ⭐️
