We had a wonderful week in this villa. It is clean and very well equipped. The pool was lovely. The front of the house was right next to the small car park for the nearest beach. It's a lovely beach with great snorkelling. We also walked across to the other side of the beach for a lovely meal at O Algar. Plus had a wonderful day out at Slide & Splash. Plenty of other nice restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Great location. Definitely recommend a car. The villa owners were really responsive and friendly. Overall, highly recommended!

Gorgeous location!

After some minor set-backs at check-in (only 1 key provided for 3 locks / one bedroom locked), we had a very lovely stay! The property owner and local mangers were quick to resolve the check-in issues and communication was great!The location and views cannot be beat. We had everything we needed for a fantastic 5 nights. The sunsets from the roof deck are gorgeous. Hiking right behind the property! A car is highly suggested for getting around, we were very glad to have ours. We paid to heat the pool for our stay in early June and were very glad that we did. I don't think we would have been in the pool otherwise but we were used the pool everyday. Restaurants, beaches, and groceries are only a few minutes drive away. We would highly recommend this lovely property and would love to return someday!

Can’t wait to stay here again!

Perfectly located right on one of the cliffs. Literally walk out the back door, pass the pool, and out the back gate and watch the most amazing sunsets you’ve ever seen! House was adequately equipped with everything we needed. Washer, dryer, etc. location was perfect, just minutes from some amazing dining!

Lovely Villia in a Great location

Great villa, perfect for family holiday with kids. Hosts quick with communication. Location ideal with lovely beaches literally a stones throw away. The villia is well equiped with everything you would likely need and the option of heating the pool is great with younger children.

A perfect week in Portugal

The property was absolutely stunning, with a location and vista of dreams. Not a single issue and the communication with owners was great, and very accommodating. Just to note, access to property by car requires patience at times as the approach road is a popular parking spot for a well visited beach.

Amazing location

This property was perfect! The location (backing on to the beautiful Algarve coast path) was amazing. Just beyond the back gate are fabulous walks in both directions and a stunning beach just 5 minutes walk. The apartment was spacious, stylish, well equipped and clean. The pool area and roof terrace were also great offering both sun and shade during the day and amazing sunsets in the evening. Communication with both the owner and management was easy and friendly. There are fantastic restaurants in walking distance and others a short drive away. We will definitely return here next time we come to the Algarve.

Wonderful location, beautiful view and easy-to-work-with hosts!

We had an excellent family vacation at Maria and Herman's home in Southern Portugal. The view is exceptional and the location is very quiet which is what we wanted. Maria was very easy to work with. We highly recommend them and their VRBO. Thanks again Maria & Herman for sharing your home. Jeremy & Nathalie

Amazing place

This place is amazing! There is so much to love from the pool, the view and the roof terrace. It was absolutely perfect for us, the air con in the bedrooms kept us cool at night and the lounge and kitchen were great. The Italian restaurant nearby is amazing and you're walking distance to the beach though with views like that we barely left the villa. There's a small supermarket nearby which was great for fresh bread and milk (and wine) and a bigger one a short distance away. My wife said its one of the few places that she would come back to.

Great experience

We are a family of four and spent two weeks in Herman’s house : everything was perfect. The house is located in an incredible sea front line with a gorgeous view to gardens and sea, the house was also very clean and perfectly well equipped , the services company taking care of the house was also very efficient. In a nutshell, we absolutely recommend this house rental. Enjoy !!

Document everything

The shower drain in the master bath is inadequate. We used the lowest pressure on tap, limited water usage to rinsing, and adjusted the shower curtain as effectively as possible. However, there is a very slight incline from the drain to the showers edge, and all water that is not immediately collected by the drain spills on the floor and creates a hazard. After the first shower, we opened an unlocked cabinet and found a stack of old towels presumably left to handle the overflow from the shower. We only used the towels for this nuisance, and we dried them after each shower. After checkout, we were accused of breaking into a locked cabinet, using excessive towels, and creating holes in 2 of them. The towels, in general, are very old, ratty, rough, and heavily bleached. The ones under the sink were even worse and did have holes, but not from us. We should have reported this immediately, but we were focused on making the best of our stay. We were also charged for a broken trash can that the host later rescinded, but we have not been compensated. We have filed a complaint with VRBO and are working through it. We also notified the owner of a raw sewage smell in the kitchen that greeted us on arrival. We also should have reported that because the absentee host has chosen not to believe that it exists. Hopefully it is addressed should you decide to stay. Regardless, document everything lest you get blindsided by charges.

Idyllic

Beautiful, well equipped villa in a gorgeous location. Excellent support and information before our stay. Made use of the owners recommendations for taxis, restaurants and supermarkets. The villa was exceptionally clean on arrival and the bed in the master bedroom really comfy. The villa had everything we needed for our stay but the wi fi was a bit patchy but useable. Everything was as expected and perfect, the only criticism was the pathway at the bottom of the garden. on cooler days it was extremely busy and some of the walkers invaded our privacy by climbing on the boundary and staring in at us but we positioned the sun loungers to maintain privacy while around the pool so not a major problem and not a criticism of the owners/management. Would definitely recommend the whole experience.

Idyllic Stay Near the Beach!

Our family of 6 (4 adults and two kids - 4 and 7) spent a lovely week in this home exploring the Algarve. The view alone is absolutely breathtaking. The pool was our kids favorite place and it was such an incredibly relaxing space for everyone to unwind. We didn't pay to have the pool heated and it was very chilly - if you don't like cold water, ask about having it heated. You have direct access to the famous Seven Hanging Valleys trail, which my husband and I spent a morning hiking. The beach isn't super easy access, which is true of many beaches in this area - there are a lot of stairs to climb, but we drove to Carvoeiro to enjoy the beach there and it was perfect. Lots of great restaurants and grocery stores only a 10-15 minute drive away. We had some issues with the wifi that were completely out of anyone's control and Maria was quick to communicate what was happening and keep us in the loop. Our only hiccup was that we quickly ran out of some essential household items - mainly toilet paper and trash bags, and didn't have access to more. Would recommend asking to have more of these types of items prepped ahead of time if you are a larger party.
