Beachfront Villa with spacious garden and direct beach access

Villa Marina Grande is a splendid Mediterranean-style villa, perfectly situated in front of the wide beach of San Sostene, known for its crystal clear sea and sugar white sand where sea turtles nest.

It is surrounded by a magnificent 2.5 hectars private garden, rich in very high maritime pines, eucalyptus, citrus and olive trees, as well as a wide variety of other plants and flowers.

The beach in front of the house offers the opportunity to go to the beach and return home with ease, making it an ideal place for families with children.

This villa is unique not only for the great beauty of its surroundings and its proximity to the beach, but also for the convenience of its location.

Quiet, relaxing and beautiful
The location is perfect for a relaxing each break and Calabria is stunning. The property is above the owners home in beautiful and extensive grounds with views of the beach beyond. There is a lovely terrace area where you can lounge or eat. The beach is literally at the bottom of the garden across the road and is massive, with very few people on it. There are a few lidos dotted along the beach for refreshments. San Sostene itself is quiet with few facilities so a CRA is essential, but nearby Sovrato has more facilities if required. The owners and the housekeeper speak excellent English and couldn’t have been more welcoming.

Great
Nothing special but everything you need. We stayed there from 15th till 26 of September. During this period there are almost no tourists so we had the beach without anyone ))) It's a great location at first line of the seaside. Nice garden, pretty big terrace with sun loungers, clean rooms, all necessary stuff. As a negative: not so far there is a restaurant with karaoke so we had couple noisy evenings cause of there is a silence around and we were forced to listen some crazy songs. We were all very pleased with our stay in this place. Special thanks to Sabrina for her support.

Perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun, beach and Italian cuisine!
The house is exactly as described, but the pictures do nog capture the beauty of the garden full with lemon, grapefruit and oranje trees, the sunset from the balcony and the quiet, sandy beach just across the street. We stayed in the large villa with 4 adults and 2 children (6/8 years) who had A great time playing in the garden, picking fruits and swimming at the beach. The housekeeper is very friendly and helpfull. We had A very relaxed holidayweek and can recommand this house to anyone that wants to enjoy Italy with its great weather, food, friendly people and beuatifull countryside!!

Tolle Unterkunft
Die Unterkunft ist wie abgebildet. Maria und Sabrina waren super nett und hilfsbereit. Traumhafte Kulisse. Restaurants und Strandbars in unmittelbarer Nähe. Der Strand ist sehr weitläufig und nicht überlaufen (Anfang September). Alles in allem hatten wir eine tolle Zeit und es entsprach alles unseren Vorstellungen.

Traumhafter Urlaub in Top Lage
Wir , 4 Erwachsene und ein Kleinkind haben unseren 3 wöchigen Kalabrienurlaub in der Villa Grande verbracht. Die Villa besteht aus 2 Wohnungen. Die Untere wird von der Vermieterin Maria und Ihrer Familie in den Sommerferien bewohnt. Eine sehr nette und hilfsbereite Familie. Ebenso stand uns Sabrina, die Verwalterin der Villa jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung. Die Wohnung entspricht der Beschreibung und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Große Zimmer, eine mit En-Suit Bad. Klimaanlage im Wohnzimmer, ausreichend um alle Räume zu kühlen. Das Gelände ist sehr groß und einladend, um die ein oder andere Frucht zu pflücken (Pfirsiche, Zitronen, Feigen). Zum Strand waren es nur ein paar Schritte, Liegen und Sonnenschirme standen zur Verfügung. Der Strand selbst ist sehr sauber und groß. Unter der Woche waren im Schnitt ca. 10 Schirme aufgestellt. Und das auf ca. 50 Meter breite. Am Wochenende konnten es schonmal 30 Schirme werden. Es war aber immer Platz in der "ersten" Reihe. Die Strandrestaurants in der Umgebung können wir empfehlen. Sie sind lecker und preiswert. Es gibt dort auch Kinderanimation, damit die Erwachsenen länger sitzen können ;-) Dinge für den alltäglichen Gebrauch gab es in Davoli zu kaufen (10 min mit dem Auto), Supermarkt, Drogerie, Käserei, Metzgerei Obst-Gemüse-Laden, Bäckerei, Apotheke......... alles vorhanden. Das Haus steht in der 1. Reihe, sprich man hatte von der großen Terrasse einen herrlichen Ausblick auf Strand und Meer. Wir waren so begeistert, dass wir vor Ort gleich wieder reserviert haben. Wir kommen also wieder.

Das Haus ist super gelegen, direkt vor der Tür liegt ein wunderschöner Sandstrand. Die Wohnung ist schön und alles vorhanden. Vorallem die grosse Terasse und der schattige Garten mit diversen Fruchtbäumen haben wie sehr genossen. In Fussnähe gibt es mehrere Strandrestaurants mit gutem Essen. Wir hatten stets sofort Unterstützung der Vermieterin, wenn wir etwas brauchten. Wir kommen gerne wieder zurück an diesen Ort.

Wonderful house in a great location close to the beach
We (family of two kids, two parents and one grandmother) stayed in the apartment of the bigger villa for two weeks and enjoyed our stay a lot! The location directly across the sea, the wonderful garden inviting (esp. the kids) to explore, and the very good apartment itself made our stay very pleasant. In case of questions, we could always approach both Sabrina (who handled the admin topics) as well as Maria (owner) who were both kind and helpful. The apartment is equipped with everything one needs and the big terrace with great sea views made every meal we took outside a special one. The town of Marina di Davoli is close by (5 min by car) and offers a few supermarkets, bakery shops, and everything else for daily needs. Overall, we can only recommend Villa Marina, esp. for travellers seeking a beautiful and quiet place close to the beach. We will very likely come back!

Sonne, weißer Sandstrand, türkisblaues Meer und ein wunderschönes Haus mit riesigem Garten
Wir haben die Villa Grande mit fünf Erwachsenen und einem Kleinkind für einen dreiwöchigen Familienurlaub gebucht. Das Haus hatte ausreichend Platz und war mit allem ausgestattet, was man in einem Ferienhaus so braucht und das auf liebevolle Art und Weise. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, was nicht selbstverständlich ist. Die Terrasse war mehr als großzügig geschnitten und bot viel Platz zum Turnen mit und für unseren kleinen Wirbelwind. Der Blick durch den Garten direkt aufs Meer war jeden Tag eine große Freude. Den Strand erreichte man nach einem kurzen Weg durch den Garten und nach Überquerung einer kleinen Straße. Zwei Minuten Fußweg. Was will man mehr? Der Strand ist groß und besteht aus feinem, weißen Sand. Wir hatten ihn bis auf ein paar vereinzelte Angler ganz für uns allein. Leider hatte aufgrund der Nebensaison Mitte/Ende September keine Strandbar mehr geöffnet. Der kurze Weg zum Haus machte den „Verlust“ jedoch mehr als erträglich. Auch eine kurze Auszeit war so problemlos möglich. Nach dem Strandtag kann das Salz und der Sand bequem an der super schönen Außendusche abspült werden. Im Garten gibt es einen kleinen Spielplatz, sowie viele Obst- und Gemüsesorten, an denen man sich jederzeit bedienen kann. Kostenfreies W-LAN im und am Haus ließ auch die Daheimgebliebenen an unserem tollen Urlaub teilhaben. Die Fenster sind mit perfekt funktionierenden Moskitonetzen ausgestattet, sodass auch abends/nachts die Fenster geöffnet werden können. Frische Luft. Juhu! Die Besitzer Maria und Roberto waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Besonderer Dank gilt auch Sabrina, die das Haus verwaltet, wenn die Besitzer nicht da sind. Sabrina stand uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und war sehr engagiert, uns unseren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. An Schlechtwettertagen konnten wir uns auch aufgrund der im Haus ausliegenden Empfehlungen von den Besitzern gut beschäftigen und haben die Umgebung kennengelernt. Meist keine kurzen, aber dafür teilweise abenteuerliche Wege. Vielen Dank für alles. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder.

Excellent relaxing vacation house right at the beach
Wonderful villa in a quiet area, situated right at a great, clean, 40m wide sandy beach with crystal clear waters on front. Surrounded by a spacious garden which during our stay (May 2018) was ripe with citrus fruits and delicious sweet oranges. It has a great balcony at the front of the house, shielded by both the house and the lush treefront of the sometimes strong winds coming from the inland. The little play-garden for the kids was a hit while we lounged away and enjoyed the view of the garden, the trees and the wide sea in front. That said, when we were not at the beach. During those visits what struck us most was the lack of other visitors to the beach. This might be due to the pre-season, but with 23-25C, 40m white sandy beach and crystal clear waters you wouldn't expect to see NO ONE at the beach other than your own family for as far as the eye could see. Absolutely awesome though, biggest private beach we've ever had, and great for some running at start or end of day. The inside of the house is nothing special though everything is functional. We had the top-level of the house only, 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms (one only accessible through the master bedroom) and a small kitchen/seating area in between. But this is Italy, so why stay inside. Great house, friendly owners and a seperate english-speaking caretaker which was always reachable for anything. Would definitely look for it again when visiting Calabria again.

Magnifico soggiorno
Oltre le nostre aspettative per le condizioni generali: pulizia, posizione, servizi. Meravigliosa la terrazza con vista sul mare, molto bello il parco con ulivi, agrumeto ed altre piante da frutto, molto buona la posizione in zona tranquilla ma non lontana dalla zona commerciale. Gentilissima e disponibilissima la Sig.ra Caterina che ringraziamo. Una vacanza vera! Unico neo, ma non imputabile alla struttura o alla proprietà sono i tempi di restituzione della cauzione (10/15 giorni circa, ci è stato detto): tempi inspiegabilmente lunghi che dovrebbero coincidere invece, previo controllo e verifica di eventuali danni, con la data di partenza. Per quanto detto prima, ci torneremmo comunque molto volentieri.

Pradise for vacation
We (two adults and three children) very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Marina Grande. From the big terrace you have a wonderful view of the sea. Surrounded by a tremendous garden you feel yourself there like in the paradise. The apartment itself is big as well and has everything you need. It is wonderful to be just a few steps away from the beach. So you can go there whenever you want, spent some time there with swimming and return for relaxing on the terrace. The water is clear. Our children liked it very much to look out for the various fishes. The beach is not crowded at all. So, you have a lot of space, also for playing. Also the gardens offers a lot of space for playing and just strolling around. The area is very quite - ideal for relaxing. The people are very friendly - especially Maria, the owner, is a wonderful host and most helpful. Thank you so much, Maria. We highly recommend Villa Marina Grande for holidays and surely will come back to this paradise for vacation sometime.
