Relaxing and comfortable stay

We truly enjoyed our time here and felt at ease throughout our stay. The setting was ideal for a quiet getaway while still being close to everything we needed. The airport transfer service was also very convenient and smooth.

We had a fantastic break! This is the nicest villa, surrounded by countryside with wonderful views. Immaculately clean and presentable on arrival both inside and out. The agent was really welcoming, explained all the facilities to us, and was readily available by phone call whenever we needed. Great shopping in the Algarve shopping centre nearby if you feel the need to leave the comfort of the villa. All in all, we had a really peaceful, get away from it all week, and can thoroughly recommend a visit!

No privacy

Despite the fact that the house was good, with great conditions, there is another villa, just like this one, completely attached. So there's no privacy at all, considering that you see all your neighours right next to you.

Great time

My partner and I recently stayed at this property, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was exactly as described, was plenty spacious and had more than enough facilities. The pool however was constantly freezing cold and took a while to acclimatise to, and that was in 25°C weather, so that’s something to keep in mind. Also, the property was at least a 10 minute Uber or taxi to the old town and the new town which is another factor to keep in mind. Also, the road you would have to travel along by foot in order to walk to these locations has no footpath for a large majority of it so is unsafe to walk to the old town, which causes taxis or Ubers to become a necessity, adding further cost to the holiday. Despite these minor details, the property was great value for the money we paid, with plenty of bathrooms, sun loungers, bedrooms and seating in general. Also, the wifi is a decent enough quality for the basics like social media or netflix and, for no extra cost, you cannot complain. Overall, this property is ideal for families wanting a more remote and relaxed retreat.
