Villa Mara is just a delight to stay. Feels like a luxurious hospitality experience without the pretentious, over the top feel that’s too much. Villa Mara somehow balances top tier service with a personable and tasteful touch while still feeling spoiled. Everything is just perfectly placed and curated to create an ease of being and leisure.

My wife and I came here to celebrate our honeymoon and we couldn't have picked a better place to do so. They made us feel special with champagne and flowers and it was perfect to unwind after the wedding. The breakfast in bed was stellar with the best almond croissant we’ve ever had. The slice of cake was just a lovely touch when hanging out by the fire with a glass of wine. The pleasant aroma of Sental 33 throughout the room and shower products made you feel engulfed in luxury. The beautiful landscaping of cacti and ivy made you feel transported to a different country. It was an intimate, private experience but also had a communal atmosphere at the same time. The attention to detail really does make the experience while maintaining a cool personality and style. Very special thing they got going on.

Villa Mara helped us fully relax and just enjoy being newly married.

Thank you for this and we will be back in the future!

Love this place, just 2 minutes from the beach and a 25-minute walk to downtown Carmel. The staff are first class, with George in particular standing out. Our room was upgraded upon arrival and was beautifully decorated. The complimentary mini bar and snacks were a lovely surprise, and the breakfast was delicious.

Tough to find good accommodations in Carmel. This place was very nice. Too pricey for what you get but with such limited options this was our choice. Hotel says ocean views and that just isn’t true. But we didn’t come to Carmel to hang out in our room. Biggest issue here is parking. No parking lot just take your chances finding someplace on the street. Staff was truly exceptional! Yes would stay here again given the alternatives.

I was on the first floor, so the ocean was certainly not in view, and there were multiple houses in front of this house-like hotel so I doubt there was much of a view on the second floor.

The water is very hot. The floors were heated even the toilet seat was heated. The whole experience was very luxurious and clean. They provide you with everything you might need minus clothes so no worries if you forget your toothbrush or your loofah.

The “front desk” was actually a bar where one of the staff was making us a drink while he checked us in and made restaurant recommendations.

Breakfast options were light but filling enough to where you could have an early lunch in a few hours or second breakfast right away. You have full access to the mini fridge and snacks in the room at no additional charge. I like that they provide cake at 7 PM every day.

The only con I could find is that the rooms are VERY close together so you will hear noises from people walking around upstairs or next-door or even in the lobby. Everyone was very mindful of being quiet at night, but there’s only so much you can do with noise of walking.

This place is a house renovated into a hotel so you won’t find amenities such as pools, fitness centers, spas or anything of the sort. They do have fireplaces around the property with cozy seating areas of all sorts; and the bar of course. They have cafe style tables with outlets for charging near each one where you could comfortably work. I’d 100% stay again.

If I could I would. This boutique hotel merits 10 stars. And the main stars go to the hospitality from the staff.lined up by beauty in this quaint hotel. My biggest wow when I walked in was the sunken tub. After our long walk on the beach this was like dessert after dinner. Comfortable bed, I havnt had such a relaxed nights rest in awhile. Breakfast was delicious, Everything is the best youre going to find is here. If youre looking for comfort convenience and beauty.

Overall the location is great and the hotel is charming and well designed. The room wasn’t ready at check in, so we were disappointed to then find it run down and dirty (walls, rug, furniture). We paid a lot extra for an ocean view, but our view was only of power lines and construction (which we could also hear). Noise was an issue, walls are very thin and housekeeping woke us up in the room next door early in the morning vacuuming and banging around and we could clearly hear the guests in the surrounding rooms and at the bar. Most of the staff members were good, but one kind of soured our experience. The food was not great at breakfast either day. Overall not worth the price point

Serene and beautiful place to stay in Carmel-by-the-Sea, where you can wake up to the sound of crashing waves. Our room was spacious for 2, with great amenities (comfortable bed, updated bathroom with bidet/Le Labo amenities/soaking tub, yummy snacks and in room espresso/coffee machine, and small private outdoor sitting area). The property itself is beautiful and a great place to relax, with a stunning lobby/bar and multiple secluded fire pits to enjoy. The included breakfast (which you can enjoy from your room in bed, if desired!), was all sourced locally and very delicious. However, the best part of the property is definitely the service -- everyone working there was friendly, helpful, and knew all the guests by name -- they truly went above and beyond to make our stay a special one. Would love to stay again next time when in Carmel!

Lovely small boutique hotel. Staff was really friendly, and service felt very customized. Beds are super comfortable. Fabulous decor and finishes in the hotel. Included breakfast was delicious. Hear and see the Carmel Beach ocean waves from your room. Morning walk along the scenic coast/Sunset is spectacular!! If anyone can figure out the custom paint color on their doors, I want it! Fresh cookies instead of chocolates in the room at turn down were a fun touch!

Wonderful tonight weekend stay celebrating a birthday. The hotel is beautiful with a warm and cozy entrance lobby and bar area. Service was impeccable from getting our luggage to offering us a welcome drink to the morning breakfast which was included. We walked approximately 20 to 25 minutes to/from downtown Carmel both nights for dinner.

If there were ten stars I would happily give them to Villa Mara! It’s a charming, small, beautifully run property. One block from the quiet end of Carmel’s iconic beach, it was the perfect location to spend our 24th anniversary. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Despite having been to Carmel many, many times, our stay here felt like coming home. We’ll definitely be back.

One of a kind..true gem

One of the best properties I’ve stayed in (and I’ve traveled extensively within US, Europe and parts of Asia). The location was perfect..away from the crowds but only 20-30min walk to downtown. Access to beach is 5min walk. The hotel itself is gorgeous..immaculate inside and outside, the gardens and fire pit are inviting, room was perfect for our short getaway with well-appointed furnishings, exquisite decor, very comfortable bed, heated tile floors, complimentary snacks, delectable breakfast & great views from the private balcony. The quality of service was the real gem here..it was unmatched; smooth check-in with complimentary glass of wine; very friendly and laidback staff who went out of their way to make our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. Will definitely stay here on our future visits.
