Great Area and Villa

After a small issue at check-in everything was great. Dan (the property owner) sorted things out and was on hand in terms of communication. The villa had everything we needed and is perfect for a family of 5/6 people. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we visit the Algarve again next year. Thanks Dan!

Villa is as listed. Great outdoors, well maintained in and out.We know the location well and never disappoints.Walk to the beach is 15min, which we really enjoy doing.The only negative was the cleaning service. We stayed 2 weeks and the cleaners did come once a week, but at total random times, unannounced and entering the house without knocking (with their key). Then the cleaning itself, very superficial and on the 2nd visit they didn't even go to the 2nd floor.This didn't ruin our experience, because we do like keeping things clean and tidy ourselves, but would be great to have better cleaning service.

A week in the golden triangle

My wife, two daughters and I stayed for a week in early September 2019. We found the villa to be well equipped, clean and ready for us. All rooms are of a good size and the three bathrooms is really excellent in a property this size. The Villa is in a very smart neighbourhood which was very quiet during our stay. It is possible to walk to the beaches and restaurants in the area if you like walking but most will likely hire a car. The area is well worth exploring. We’ve been coming for 10 years now and we are still finding new things and places. Some super beachside restaurants in the area. The Villa’s Pool is a little on the small side but is as large as the plot allows. Great for a cool off and for kids but not for adult swimming.

Thanks Chris. I think you summed it very nicely. The pool is 5m x 3m , perfect for a splash and cooling down after a cocktail or two. Time to book a flight !

Ideal holiday villa close to Almancil and the beaches of vale de lobo.

My husband and I enjoyed a weeks holiday with our daughter and her children aged 7 and 3. We were familiar with the area having spent several golfing holidays. The villa was excellent in every way. It was furnished and equipped to a high standard. The living room /dining room was very comfortable but the weather was so good that we were rarely indoors. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with dishes and cooking implements. There were even three different ways to make coffee!! The outside area was private and again well equipped. Besides the pool which was much enjoyed by the girls, there was a large dining table, a shaded seating area, and a gas and a charcoal barbecue. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning efficient. Any minor problems we experienced were promptly sorted by Sandra,the local manager.

Tivemos uma excelente estadia.A casa é fiel ao anúncio! A zona é muito calma e cuidada e a casa tem absolutamente tudo o que possamos precisar.A piscina não é grande mas também não achei assim tão pequena como li em alguns comentários.Para nós o grelhador a gás foi uma grande mais valia, assim como a airfryer.O anfitrião respondeu a todas as nossas questões em tempo útil.Na minha opinião apesar da localização ser boa, acho que é imprescindível ter ou alugar carro.

Perfect Accommodation in a Great Location

This villa is just the perfect accommodation in a great location for family holidays. Located in a perfect neighbourhood this villa is equipped with all you need for a perfect family holiday. We didn’t lack anything and the property manager was swift to overcome small issues. Within a 10-minute drive you have great beaches, more or less crowed, great restaurants and great supermarkets. In more than 10 years of Algarve vacations this villa goes straight to the top of our shortlist and we are very keen to revisit the coming years. Congrats to owner and manager!

Perfect holiday in a perfect villa

The house was just like on the photos. The outdoor area with the pool is marvellous, the 4 and 6 year old kids loved it, but it is also suitable for adults. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the barbecue is ideal for grilling sea food. The rooms were big enough to accomodate 4 adults and 3 children. Nice location, as beaches and shops are nearby, and the airport is neither too far away. We used uber during our stay. Everything was smooth from booking/paying to leaving. I would definitely recommend this place to those, who are looking for a calm family holiday at the Algarve. Thanks for everything Dan!

Stress free from start to finish!

The house was in the ideal spot - close to the airport, beach and handy for the supermarkets. The house itself has everything that was needed. All the beds were made up so everyone had a choice of where they slept. The pool was cleaned regularly throughout our stay. On our last day Dan suggested we left when we wanted which was very helpful as our return flight was quite late. From booking to leaving it was made easy and stressfree. Would definitely stay again.

Sensational Villa - Amazing Holiday!!!!!

From start to finish it was pleasurable. With the owners help, from booking until our return of a fabulous holiday. Excellent all round. The location of the villa was ideally located, close enough to the airport, beaches bars and restaurants and other facilities you may need. A vehicle is recommended to visit other places, Vilamoura 20 minutes away and Alberfura 35 minutes away. Vale Do Lobo or Quinta do Lago have some fabulous places to eat and drink, which local taxis can be used. Haven’t mentioned the villa yet, saving the best until last. It was beautiful, just as the web page said and more. The pool area was well equipped with a lovely pool and patio area. The villa itself was beautiful, stylish kitchen and lounge area leading out to the patio. All bedrooms were very well presented. Well equipped bathrooms and en-suites and everywhere spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend this villa if you are planning to visit the area. Rob & family
