Stayed at the Marva from the 14th to the 28th August. Me, my wife and three grown up sons. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday.

This os the second year myself and my father have visited the Marva. We were given a very warm welcome when we arrived by the family, even though we arrived very late.

OK, the studios are a bit basic; nonetheless very clean, and adequately equipped - just. The pool and garden surrounds are peacefully excellent. Imagine, rubber lined pool; concussion after racing turns now finished with. The family management team are good value; so is their minimalist bar. Stress minimalist. Tour operators say nothing about mosquitos. Take repellent; buy Baygon sprays, rent... More
