Amazing location and house. All the amenities of a home away from home. Many nearby amenities

A place to go to relax or have some fun nearby. Convenience of amenities and activities was perfect. Restaurants, bars, golf, beach all within walking or very short drive. Truly an amazing little resort village! You make it as busy as you want it to be.

Great location, beautiful property and perfect hosts. Five to ten minute walk to the beach and restaurants across 17th fairway of the Royal golf course. Property was very clean, well equipped and spacious with lovely indoor and outdoor seating and dining areas next to the kitchen and the pool. Ideal for our family of five. Fiona was very helpful, particularly accommodating our last minute change of plan. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful holiday venue.

Beautiful garden and outdoor space

The villa was lovely, very comfortable, nice beds, nice bathrooms and the outdoor space and mature pretty garden was especially nice. Unfortunately there was 2 construction sites close by during our stay which regularly spoilt our relaxation but without that, the garden was very peaceful and relaxing. And well sheltered from wind. Fantastic walking in the area at the upgraded formosa pathways and boardwalks.

Great Villa - best we've been to in vdl

What a great villa, it surpassed our expectations. Set in a lovely, quiet but central part of vdl. Beautiful garden and big pool with wonderful bbq/entertaining area. Well equipped with plenty of cutlery/crockery/etc. Extremely helpful owner who responded quickly to my, rather too many, questions. We hope to be back soon and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you Fiona and Charles.

Sure! Here’s a polished English review:⸻We had a wonderful stay at the spacious villa. The bedrooms were large, clean, and each had its own private bathroom, which made our stay even more comfortable. The house itself was very tidy and well-maintained.We especially enjoyed the beautiful, large swimming pool, which we used a lot during our stay. The location is excellent, everything is within walking distance, including a supermarket, restaurants, a golf course, and the beach.If you’re exploring the inland area, there are some great restaurants we can recommend, such as Botanico and Authentic.This villa is also highly recommended for families with children. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back!

Wonderful stay!

The villa is beautifully presented and well looked after. Spacious open plan living and a fantastic outdoor kitchen/BBQ area for entertaining. Not forgetting the stunning gardens and pool. On a practical note - the utility room was perfect for keeping up with the laundry and the kitchen had a selection of condiments so we didn’t need to buy things like olive oil, salt and pepper for a week’s stay! Plenty of fridge space too which is always important in a hot climate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Thank you so much.

Great location, superb facilities and well maintained.

Can't really say more than above.A cooler box and Beach umbrella would have been great but I suspect this would get lost over the season. The housekeepr everyday would have been great. Overall an excellent property and the owner communication and service was fantastic. Would love to use it again next year.

Excellent villa for all the family

We had a great 9 day stay at this villa. We were a family of 3 generations (inc. 3 children, 5 and under) and it suited everyone. The location is ideal for walking to the supermarket, Praca, golf and the beach. The villa had everything we needed, the kitchen was well equipped and the children enjoyed the selection of toys. The pool was heated which meant everyone enjoyed swimming. The host was also great. We had to change our travel dates very last minute and nothing was too much hassle. The check in/out process was really straight forward allowing us just to relax and enjoy our holiday. Would definitely recommend.

Villa in Vale de Lobo

Just back from a lovely week in this villa. There were 9 of us - 6 adults, one 5 year old and 2 16 month little ones. The villa has 2 cots, both of which were made up and placed in bedrooms for us and also 2 high chairs so made life very easy.The pool was amazing and was used a lot. We had cleaners mid way through the week, also a pool cleaner twice. There is so much outside space and seating depending if you are a sun or shade seeker. The bedrooms were a good size, especially the master which is huge! The kitchen is extremely well equipped - I don’t think there was a single utensil we needed that wasn’t there. It also has a good amount of children’s bowl, plates and cups. We would thoroughly recommend the villa for a joint family holiday.

Lovely Villa, Excellent location

We travelled as three generations of our family from 5 weeks old too far too many weeks to calculate! The house was ideal for the group with great bedrooms and en-suites. Meticulous thought and consideration has gone into the design of the renovation of this house and it shows and should be fully appreciated, great job. We love the area and had owned two houses nearby since 2002. To be able to walk to the Praca with kids was brilliant and for us to walk along the beach to some of our favourite beach restaurants in about 30 minutes was brilliant. The peace and tranquility in the garden around the pool was lovely. Maid and pool service were also excellent. Super place which we cannot fault - just need to find the dates to return! Thank you for sharing your special place so that we could enjoy.

A little piece of paradise

This property is a must see, the photos do not do it justice. My family were awe struck when we arrived. Everything is clean and welcoming. There is enough china, silverware and glasses to hold a large party. The rooms are clean and spacious and so comfortable. I obtained information about the resort and local restaurants from the owner via messaging but I felt that there could be a little more information in a booklet in the property. We would have like to have more gate keys both electronic and manual but we managed well with what we had. I highly recommend this wonderful property and would happily return were I to visit Vale do Lobo again.

This villa had everything you need for a great family holiday. Pool was amazing with corner steps into the shallow end. Good sunbeds and comfortable terrace seating looking at lovely garden, as well as outside shaded dinning area with huge barbecue. One downstairs bedroom and 3 upstairs all en suite with kings beds (no twins) Large well equipped kitchen diner with huge fridge freezer with filtered cold water/ice machine. Some hilly bits for 15 min walk to beach and local restaurants at Praca. Other excellent restaurants within 15 mins taxi ride. Supermarket 20min walk with some uk kiddie staples like Weetabix . Good fresh meat & fish if cooking. TV has BBC & other U.K. channels . Blinds and air con in all rooms.
