We cannot fault the villa here. Great Aircon which was certainly needed in 30+ heat every day, Spacious and everything we could of needed for our stay. The pool was lovely, perfect depth for games (approx 5ft) and a decent size with lovely gardens and plenty of sunbeds. Would recommend a car if you have teenage kids as very quiet non touristy area. The local bakers and supermarket had all you could need and were in walking distance (approx 15 mins). Get there early tho as the locals seem to love their bread and cakes !!! Amazing sandy beach with a banana boat, pedalos and ringos plus a couple of bars where delicious pizza was available (after 7.30pm) from 4.5e for a margharetta !!! If we could suggest anything else, some lighting for the outside dining area would of helped as it was very dark of an evening and you cannot really eat before dark due to the heat. Also, the wifi was not great, which again with teenage kids was a tad frustrating (mostly for them, for us adults we took the opportunity to relax and read). It was generally ok in the upstairs lounge but not the rest of the property when so many using it. Additional bonus points for the welcome gift we received of home grown tomatoes and red wine. All in all a great stay, a beautiful property and the property manager was always on hand when we needed (to print out boarding passes for our return flight particularly - thanks Sam)

Fantastic place to stay - where can I start the Villa rooms were ready as soon as we arrived & fully equipped with everything you would need for self catering. Staff were friendly , always happy to answer any questions and advise on trips to take .The pool is well cleaned and large .

It was a truly an amazing place, with an extremely homey feel to it! The view is incredible as you walk up to the top floor quite literally beautiful. It’s private, with a great pool, a large kitchen and great garden furnishing. Me and my family absolutely loved it and it was great for the kids as kindly the owners had left many toys for them to play with. Overall, it was one of the nicest villas I’ve stayed in, with a beach no longer than 5 minutes away and great restaurants near by. Highly recommended to all looking at hiring!

Great thanks to Jo and Samantha for unique conditions of beach holidays for two families with four boys. Children spent some hours per day in wonderful and very clean pool. There are everything for comfortable and quiet rest. It should be specially noted that Jo's care and recommendations and Samantha's support during staying were amazing! Strongly recommended.

Stayed at the house with 6 others and we loved the location being a 5 minute walk from the sea. The pool was amazing and the house is equipt with everything needed, would definitely recomend, ciao Calabria

Great place for a large group. Well equipped and well managed. Walking distance to to beach. Had a great stay. Would definitely recommend.

This vacation house was perfect for my family. I had two of my grown children, their spouses and their children as well as me and we had plenty of room. We actually had two bedrooms that were not even used so we could have had another family come along as well. The pool is big and the kids loved it. We found the local supermarket and frequented it every other day for food and goodies. My extended family lives nearby so they came over for visits and it was a great place to entertain. The beach is down the street and we went to it a few times, but our family liked the busy beach near soverato a bit better. All in all it was a wonderful, peaceful place that has everything you could possibly want in a vacation home. Can hardly wait for next year. Debbie Tomaino, Vancouver BC Canada

We were very happy at this villa during this June 2017. The village is very quiet, no neighbors around. The villa has everything for a comfortable stay. Barbecue area together with southern stars in the sky makes dinners special. Swimmimg pool is big enough, very clean, so good amusement for kids. Was nice to find even games for kids and italian culinary books. A car is very recommended as shops are not in stepwise availability.

Things we loved about it: Great, very clean well positioned pool which due to its position isn't over looked. Great well thought out outdoor space, with lovely extra's- seating area in the shade + sun to catch the morning and afternoon sun, ample sun lounges and chairs and even a wonderful hammock. The living room downstairs is a big open plan space with a well positioned, well equipped kitchen allowing you to cook and enjoy eating outside. The beach is a lovely sandy beach and is only at the end of the road. The people that look after the property, Sam and Richard are lovely, so very helpful and keep the pool and property in very good condition. The owner of the property Jo is a pleasure to book with. Would defiantly like to stay here again and will be recommending it to friends.

Bij aankomst waren wij blij dat het huis er exact uitzag zoals ze voorgesteld wordt op de site. Met Jo de eigenares hebben wij steeds een goed contact gehad. Ze antwoorde binnen de 24 uur op uw mails. Een maand voor onze aankomst heeft zij ook nog gevraagd als wij nog iets nodig hadden in het huis. Ze was ook zeer geïnteresseerd hoe ons verlof verlopen was. Bij aankomst in Isca hadden wij afgesproken met Sam (agentschap die in Isca alles opvolgt). Zij heeft ons rondgeleid in het huis. In het huis hadden wij dan opgemerkt dat er geen grote potten aanwezig waren in het huis, (wij waren daar toch met een grote bende aanwezig ). Sam heeft er dan voor gezorgd dat we grote kookpotten hadden. Er waren ook 10 ligstoelen aanwezig dus voor ieder van ons. Wij merkten ook dat de airco op de beneden verdieping niet werkte. Dit werd dan ook meteen vermaakt. Als het zwembad moest gekuist worden, gaf je een seintje en de dag nadien waren Sam en haar echtgenoot Richard daar om het zwembad en de tuin te onderhouden. Ze stelden zelf voor om de lakens op te halen en te wassen. Maar dat vonden wij niet nodig want er waren daar twee wasmachines aanwezig. Zelf zijn wij niet veel naar het strand geweest. In het huis hadden wij alles wat wij nodig hadden en de kinderen zaten liever in het zwembad. Het strand was verzorgd het water lekker warm en mooi helder. In he restaurant aan het strand zijn wij een paar keer pizza's gaan halen. Ze waren zeer lekker. Hier komen wij zeker nog eens terug. Sylvia

From the minute we arrived we felt able to start our relaxation - everything was very clean, modern, bright and fresh both indoors and outside. The pool was a very good size and whilst Unheated it wasn't that cold. Great sun loungers and dining area. The kitchen was well equipped - its proximity to the external dining area made dining outside very easy and relaxed. The nearby beach was clean with white sand and there was a very good restaurant and bar - fresh seafood, pasta and meat - something for all our party. The surrounding villages Are picturesque with good amenities. A car is a must but local traffic was light. It was the perfect choice to spend time with friends with complete privacy. Would definitely stay there again and I am recommending it to all my friends and family.

A beautiful house in Isca Marina Very well maintained, we did not miss anything. We were 7 people on 2 apartments. The house is very modern and very well equipped. The pool is nice and big and the sea, it is to go only a few minutes walk. The house is very quiet surrounded by olive trees. We had a good assistance by the house manager. Nearby there are many restaurants and shops, can only be reached in a few minutes. We will definitely come again.

We had an amazing time at Villa al Mare and in Isca Marina. The villa, gardens and pool were great and the beach is only a 5 minute stroll away, further if you want to head down towards the bars. The beach is lovely white sand with some shingle by the waters edge, the sea is crystal clear and the beach is not busy - perfect!! we didn't venture too far as we wanted to completely relax at the pool and beach. The village has an amazing bakery, a good butchers and a mini market but for a better supermarket only a short car journey away. We will definately come back. The weather was glorious................ we are missing it!!!

This is an amazing Villa, which offers the best accommodations in the area! You feel right at home, as everything you need is available. The living space inside is well appointed with care. Everything is clean, and well taken care of. There are balconies on all sides, offering wonderful views of the surrounding area. The patio and pool area are magnificent, perfect for lounging in the sun or eating lunch under the gorgeous Pergola. It's a relaxing stroll to the beach from the Villa. There are two grocery stores within a couple miles from the Villa, very easy to get to. Overall, just a perfect holiday Villa with wonderful amenities and comfort. We loved it! Will come again as soon as possible!

Excellent accommodation ,everything you could think you would need on holiday and more,the best of both worlds with private pool or a short walk to the beach . Wonderful views from every balcony to observe the country side or view where you have just been. A bonus to have wifi.Definitely an area to explore, we had a fantastic trip -would love to come back again,thank you.

I honestly cannot recommend this holiday highly enough!! The villa is an amazing place and was perfect for our family holiday!! We spent most of our time at the villa in and around the pool and under the pergola eating some great local food and drinking wine!! (definitely try the pepperoncini!!) The local area is great for an authentic Italian holiday and as an added bonus we didn’t see an English person for the whole time we were there and muddling through with very little Italian only added to our experience!! The beaches are beautiful and being literally a five minute walk away with some great little beach bars is fantastic!! Soverato is also a must see, a really cool place with great shopping and nightlife for those without small children!! The highlight of the holiday has to be the waterfall at San Nicola which was a great suggestion from Sam the managing agent for the villa, an unbelievable insight into local Italian life with families turning up on a Sunday to swim in the lagoon and cook their own food on the on - site BBQ’s!! Just make sure you don't get lost on the mountain roads as we did, some expert driving required there but some amazing views also!! If anyone is looking at this villa as a possible holiday don’t look any further, Jo the owner is a pleasure to deal with and I definitely hope to go back in the future!!! Sorry this has taken me a month to post but the depression of being back in England is just starting to wear off, Thanks again Jo Phill and family xx

The property was in a great location and had every facility required. Modern , clean and in fine decorative order we much enjoyed the layout, views and location and would have no hesitation on returning. The owners are very knowledgeable on some great local sights, food and beach locations. Local fish , steak and very Italian food restaurants go highly recommended.We enjoyed the very clean swimming pool and garden privacy. Walking distance to a fine sandy beach the location has every option for the family.
