Wonderful place to stay

My wife and I stayed at Villa Amara multiple times in the past. This time we stayed there for 2 weeks in July 2024. We found the house clean, well-furnished and peaceful as before, and enjoyed the pool and nice canal views (including beautiful sunsets) from the pool area in the back. The house manager was very friendly and helpful. We understand the owner would be replacing mattresses in the house very soon – so we look forward to sleeping on a new mattress in our next stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Amara. The views of sunset match the pictures to perfection! The property is clean and well appointed with what is needed for a relaxing family getaway. Despite record rain, the pool made for great outdoor time when we could grab it, and most nights were spent watching the sunset from the lovely patio/spa. Plenty of wildlife to observe as well. Certainly a comfy place for a relaxing getaway.

Ausgezeichnet! (Excellent!)

We absolutely loved everything about Villa Amara. Our hosts were incredibly kind and communicative and super helpful with all our questions. The villa is in a wonderful location in Cape Coral, and the house and the entire property is so well-kept, lovely, and homey. The view from the lanai and pool is stunning; we spent hours just sitting on the porch watching the water, trees, and birds. The house is beautifully appointed with everything guests could need for a comfortable stay. My husband and I will definitely be back- this was the relaxing, tranquil retreat we needed. Vielen Dank for alles!

This was our second stay at Villa Amara, and we loved it just as much as the first time. The new patio doors are lovely; so easy to slide! The house had everything we needed and then some. We loved having access to a bathroom from the pool deck, and the pool and spa were spotlessly clean. Every evening, we sat out on the chaise lounges with some wine and enjoyed the amazing sunsets!
