I loved my stay at Villa Mara Carmel! The room was super clean and comfortable, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. They had tons of great recommendations for things to do around town. And the breakfast—wow. I almost never eat breakfast, but this one was seriously amazing and totally worth it. Such a great experience overall!

It was all perfect! My wife and I were on a road trip with our 16’ Airstream and I was concerned about parking two vehicles in Carmel. The staff was very helpful and they moved their own cars to make room for our caravan. Lovely place, we’ll definitely be back.
