Perfect Family Getaway!
We loved the house and the outdoor spaces, especially the pool area which kept the kids entertained for hours with the pool table and ping-pong. The villa is very spacious, and having the en suite bedrooms upstairs gave us some extra privacy. We also enjoyed dinner at Algarbe restaurant, which is just a short drive away.

Great location near the beach
The house is wonderful and very close to Praia da Galé. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and the garden is perfect for a relaxing afternoon BBQ. The kids loved the pool! We also enjoyed dinner at Vila Joya Sea for a special sunset experience.

Best pool and games area!
We loved the house, and the outdoor spaces were the highlight of our trip. Having both a snooker table and ping-pong right by the pool kept us entertained for hours. The house was very clean and the location in Galé is unbeatable. We also enjoyed dinner at Bellavita restaurant nearby.

Wonderful stay near the beach
We loved the house, and the outdoor spaces were beautifully maintained. Being able to walktake a short drive to Praia da Galé was perfect. The villa is very well-furnished and felt like a home away from home. We also enjoyed dinner at Salgados Beach Club.

Great location and very comfortable
We had an amazing time at Villa Canguu. The house is situated in a very quiet area but so close to the supermarkets and the beach. The fact that the pool can be heated was a major plus for us. We also enjoyed dinner at Restaurante O Marinheiro.

Perfect for a large group
We stayed at Villa Canguu with a group of friends and it was perfect. The four bedrooms provided plenty of space, and having en-suite bathrooms on the top floor was very convenient. The kitchen has everything you need to cook for a big group. We also enjoyed dinner at Praia do Lourenço restaurant.

This villa exceeded our expectations. The two living areas (one on each floor) gave us plenty of space to relax. The barbecue area is fantastic for summer evenings. We also enjoyed dinner at Jompra restaurant, which was delicious.

we enjoyed our stay here in the spacious property . There was good facilities and fresh towels delivered mid week.
However there was a rancid sewerage smell that was vile and impacted our stay. There was also ants in the kitchen.
From the moment we arrived at the villa, we knew this Villa was perfect for our needs. The villa is equipped with everything you could want and even the barbecue area outside was great. 4 good bedrooms in immaculate condition as is the villa throughout. Pool was heated and very clean. The representative Karen was super helpful!
Overall very good though not easy for taxi to find as the name of the villa had been changed and we were not given the house number which would have helped.
Would also have benefitted from a guest folder having things like nearest shops and restaurants and ATM's in it.
A bubble cover for the pool would have raised the temperature especially when you are paying for pool heating
