We have stayed at Villa Matcar several times now and have enjoyed every holiday. The villa is lovely and pool and grounds beautiful. The owners Joe and Carol as usual very friendly and couldn't do enough to ensure that our stay was perfect.

Will certainly come back again.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Villa Matcar! Couldn't have dreamed of a better holiday destination. The views were incredible, blissful location - no neighbours overlooking and we didn't have to worry about being too loud. Sitting around the pool in 32 degree heat with a BBQ on the go ... Nothing better! Half an hour walk to get food at night but this was no bother as it was cool by the time we went out. Best meals out we're at Ideal restaurant in Guia and Jompra which was a ten minute minibus ride with Joe - definitely recommend this place as staff were the friendliest people you could meet and food was Michelin star quality!!! Would recommend anyone with a family to visit!! We all said "WOW!" as we first arrived as the whole villa and outside is more beautiful than it looks on the photos! Joe and Carol are lovely people and made us feel special from day 1. Must must visit villa matcar! The Mayers Clan :-)

we stayed here for a week at the end of august and our only regret was that we did not book for 2!!! the weather was great mid thirties the whole week we were there.the villa was fantastic with great views and the most amazing sunsets i have ever seen you really do have to see it to beleive it!! there was 9 of us altogether with ages ranging from 4 to 74,we were a bit worried before we went that it might be a bit crowded but that could not be further from the truth the villa is so well laid out that you are never in each others way.the pool area was just fantastic it has a pool table down there which we used all the time.the pool is 40ft long and a lovely temperature we spent most of our days by the pool just having lots of fun and making up our own games in there! you should try lilo racing we had a blast doing that.the fridge by the pool was a great touch aswell as there was always a nice cold beer or cider to hand if you wanted one and soft drinks for the kids of course.Joe took us into the old town a couple of times in his mini bus so we could have a meal out and this was great on both occasions that we went. he charged 20 euros to take us all there and then pick us up fantastic value Joe thanks!!! overall we all had a fantastic time here and we will be returning without fail!! one little negative was that the lounge had no air con and the mosquitos was a bit of a problem on the terrace at night so make sure you take plenty of spray!!!

This was our third holiday at Villa Matcar and will not be our last. The villa is perfect for our family group of 6 adults and two boisterous boys aged 12 and 10. There is plenty of room for everyone to get together or find their own space in the garden, the roof terrace (which has fabulous views and is a great place to watch the sunset), the shady verandah or the pool area. The villa, garden and pool are well-maintained and well-equipped and the owners are investing each year in updating and improving the facilities. The boys flit happily between the swimming pool, table tennis, table football and pool table - all of which were a big hit with visiting family members aged 13-19. The location is lovely - the villa is surrounded by vineyards and fields - yet close enough to a good shopping centre. Joe and Carol, the owners, are very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
