The Residence at Vila Porto Mare

2nd visit in 12 months,there will be many more.Residence ticks all the boxes for high standards,staff,location etc.

Such a beautiful setting with well manicured extensive gardens. Everything was spotless. What’s not to like with several pools, bars and restaurants to hand. Free transport into the old town, but if R&R rather than exploring is your thing, you wouldn’t need to leave the hotel complex. There is a green ethos of recycling which is good, too.

Superb hotel, well run and maintained; the gardens are wonderful.

This hotel was amazing! The hotel property is immaculate, with great views and very close access to the water. Staff was very professional. Breakfast was wonderful. I can't wait to stay here again. Highly recommend!

My wife and I normally stay in smaller holiday locations, so a large hotel was something fairly new to us. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will probably go back for a longer stay. Constructive feedback: We were slightly surprised that some of the views in the advertising photo's were really of adjoining hotels. Some facilities seemed to be fenced off as private. We had a room with a sea view. Although you could see the sea and get the sun in the afternoon from the balcony, it also overlooked a road which busy and quite noisy. Particularly noisy in the early morning and late evenings with motorbikes revving up outside - we though hotel staff arriving and departing for shifts? We ate one night in the hotel Mediterranean restaurant and the staff seemed uninterested. We ordered tap water to go with the meal and rather than leave the glass decanter, the waited filled our glasses. This meant every time we wanted water we had to attract his attention - not an easy task. Staff in the other restaurants were all very pleasant and attentive whenever we ate there. But we would rather emphasise the positive. The hotel was a very pleasant place to stay. The room was very spacious and comfortable with great service staff, who could not have done more for us. Reception were also very helpful often going out of their way. The pool facilities and gym were exceptional and worth staying here for these alone. Next time we'll ask for a garden view room, (which also look out over the sea).

Facilities are comprehensive, staff all very friendly and efficient, rooms clean, spacious and airy

Sadly the weather was very wet and windy - so good we stayed in a comfortable hotel with good facilities and staff

The hotel is extremely comfortable and the service is excellent. The hotel is suitated next to the sea and although a short distance from the centre, a free shuttle bus is provided every hour. Plenty of food options with several restaurants, and the best breakfast buffet I have every come across"

Lovely hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Despite being fully booked the hotel was quiet, the pool area uncrowded with plenty of different places to sit and relax.

Good clean hotel with good selection of amenities
