Due to circumstances outside of our control, we had to find a villa the day before we arrived. Although there were limited options and it was a fairly rushed choice, we feel that we could not have chosen a better villa than this one and are very appreciative of Paulo's helpful and responsive support in accommodating us at such short notice. As we drove from the UK, the self check in and check out made life easy.
The villa is situated in a lovely area with other villas but the grounds are large and landscaped in such a way as to give a feeling of privacy and isolation, yet just a short walk to a small shop and cafes (with larger supermarkets just a short drive away). There are some beautiful, large and established trees in the garden. The only downside to this is that debris from the trees continually falls into the pool. However, this did not stop us enjoying the pool, which is large and inviting.
We liked the layout of the inside of the villa. Feeling very spacious and having 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was a luxury for a small family and having one of the bedrooms/bathroom on the other side of the villa from the others is good for a family with adult children.
The kitchen was well equipped, the Wi-Fi (essential for families with children) reliable and fast, and the Smart TV meant that we had access to our Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney accounts. While the seating area around the TV suited our small family, it may be more limiting for a fully occupied villa.
