Communication with the booking site has been great. They have got back to us within the same day. While we were away we had a couple of issues and haven't had these resolved.It's set in lovely grounds. Parts are looking tired and could do with an upgrade. The pool didn't appear heated and areas around the pool needed updating also, including the sun beds.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to know that communication was smooth and that you enjoyed the lovely grounds surrounding the property. Regarding the pool heating, as stated in the listing, when activated the temperature will always be between 5ºC and 8ºC higher than it would be without heating. We regret to hear that some aspects did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your honest suggestions, which help us identify areas for improvement. We hope to welcome you again for a better stay in the future. Warm regards, Algarve Vacation Customer Care

Lovely location, if there wasn't a building site next door

We really liked the villa and the quietness of it. The only exception is that each morning we had a couple of hours (from 8am) of noise from the building site that was next door. Although the house was clean it did have an infestation of ants.

Lovely villa in a quiet area. It is advertised as sleeping 10 people however the main part of the villa has only 2 bedrooms sleeping 4. There is an annexe sleeping 6 in 2 rooms and I would say one bedroom is only suitable for children as it has bunk beds and two Z beds. We didn’t rent a car for our 7 day stay. The Uber service was brilliant and reasonably priced. Our only criticism of the villas location was that there were no bins in the vicinity to dispose of our rubbish which we were not told prior to our stay. This was obviously a problem for us as we did not have any transport. The nearest rubbish bins were a mile away which was not ideal.
