My second visit to Atlantic Villa proved that I was right first time the welcome was warm the sky was blue, sun shining even though it was snowing as I left Dublin (March). Everything tastes wonderful the fresh coffee Jackie's home made bread Brian's breakfast the freshly laid eggs (thanks to their chickens). The detail of the thoughtfulness had to... More

I would recommend this beautiful retreat if only for the breakfast experience. Delicious breads and fruits, grains, eggs, fresh cream from the local cow, edible flowers from their own garden to garnish the masterpeace! Jackie and Brian are pure kindness and the eclectic world travelers the house attracts (evident during the family style breakfast) is sheer magic! Can't wait to... More

The owners are both fantastic people; kind and more than willing to go out of their way to make your stay pleasant. We happened to be traveling through Ireland and called for accommodations without pre booking. Instead of turning us away because of a full house they kindly made accommodations for us to spend the night in one of their... More

My second trip to Valentia island and stay with Jackie and Brian. The room was exquisite with a lot of space, closet, shower and tub. The view from the window was lovely and I got to check the "swells" every morning to see if we could boat to Skellig Michael that day. Brian is an excellent chef (25 yrs in... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, despite unusually cold weather. As our visit just preceded the opening of the main season on Valentia Island, many local businesses were closed, but the week just flew by with more than enough to keep us busy, just on the Island itself. Jackie and Brian have raised hosting to an art form. They provided thorough... More

I decided to take my partner on a romantic trip to Ireland and was keen to show her valentia island. I booked atlantic villa and it was absolutely perfect. The house is well located for discovering different parts of the island and is located on the skellig ring route which is a must see. Jackie greeted us, log fire burning... More

I had a wonderful stay in Atlantic Villa it was an experience that envelopes all your senses. I arrived late on an November evening after along drive from Dublin to a warm and genuine welcome by Jackie and Brian the owners. The wood burning stove was glowing with a sweet smell of naustalgia (turf and wood). My room felt very... More

I'd a really enjoyable stay here. It's a great place to explore Valentia and South Kerry. Brian and Jackie were full useful info about what to do on and around the island. I was cycling around the Ring of Kerry but decided to make a detour onto Valentia and I'm so glad I did. It's a stunning spot and the... More

From the first knock on the door (resplendent with carved pumpkins) we could not have felt more at home in the characterful Atlantic Villas. The food was excellent and plentiful and the wood-burning stove even better. Our room had stunning views over to Beginish Island and after great advice on where to roam and have a pint, the sauna was... More
