Had a wonderful stay at Villa Der Mer, walking distance to the beach, in fact it has a beautiful sea view, which is a stone throw away. It has botique hotel vibe, loved the host.Kind and warm hearted.

We had a great stay at A Villa De Mer for 5 days. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the breakfast is very good. We were helped every time we asked for something. The location is next to the beach, which is really nice.

Slightly dissapointing. Empty and jaded. But huge rooms and a very sweet hostess made it better. Maybe it was because we were out of season. Weather too didn't help. Neither did load shedding- no generator on site. Evening meal - we had to pop it into the microwave ourselves!

Warm welcome from Magda with good advice for nearby tasty food. Good facilities. Lovely breakfast. Magda helped us with our luggage because 2 of us in our group had mobility issues. Well worth a longer stay over!

A villa de Mer was wonderful! Literally 1 minute walk to the beach, close to restaurants. Our room had a great view, privacy, comfortable bed and bedding, lovely bathroom. The host was welcoming and helpful, offering to help get boat rides. Yummy breakfast. We would definitely stay here again!

The guest house has a lovely position, and I enjoyed my morning walk on the beach. Magda was very helpful and informative. Unfortunately I didn’t stay for breakfast, but it smelled good! The room is large and well equipped, but the towels are totally threadbare which makes it feel rather poorly maintained.

Villa de Mer gets a huge thumbs up. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The staff was very good and the breakfast was superb. I would go back to stay there again. Keep up the good work.
