Lovely modern villa with everything you’ll need. Location was fab, 10 mins walk to the main part but there are bars, restaurants within 5 minutes. We used Ubers to get around, found them very reliable and reasonable. Had a fabulous week with family in the sunshine,

Wonderful stay!
We have been visiting this lovely villa for several years now. It is in a perfect location within walking distance of Olhos D’Agua’s beach, shops and restaurants.
The villa itself has everything you need including a large swimming pool which was lovely and warm this year.
The service you receive is always first class from the moment you book until the day you leave.
I would highly recommend staying at this wonderful villa!

Great getaway
It is the number of bathrooms that makes us coming back again and again. Privacy for all travellers is a big plus. But it is conveniently located for us golfers to play west and east of Villamoura.

Excellent modern villa and could not find any real fault. If I had to find something it was that it could have done with a bit more crockery. With a party of 10 the dishwasher was constantly on.Very large swimming pool which kept the kids very happy.Location was great. It was quiet but within easy walking distance of a wide selection of good restaurants. Various shops and a large supermarket were again within easy walking distance. The beach was only a few minutes further away.To sum up, would I stay there again? - definitely.

Winter break
A couple of patio heaters would have been nice as it can be quite cool in the evenings at this time of year.
We were a group of 8 men who belong to our local Skittles team, having a cheeky boys break this villa exceeded expectations, we had good communication from the manager Miguel, who contacted me on the day we traveled explaining how to gain entry. He came and met us personally the following morning and explained where everything was, highly recommended

Amazing holiday
From booking, to numerous cancellations to eventually arriving , Helen from villasdumas provided outstanding customer service. Paula in the resort was also fabulous. The Villa itself is clean, spacious with plenty of room for 10 in a 3 generational family group. The kids and big kids loved the pool. BBQ area great and facilities and kitchen area well equipped. Would not hesitate to book again. Thanks for everything.

Third time at this lovely villa in great location
The heated pool lovely, spacious grounds well-equipped and good-sized kitchen great location for access to beach, shops and restaurants helpful and friendly service from Paula.
We thought mat at entrance to lounge coming in from pool would be useful we missed the 'old' coffee maker not being great fans of 'pods'!
Otherwise, all good for another brilliant family time at Villa Maria!

There should have been a filter coffee machine available so we apologise for this (had you mentioned it during your stay, we would have brought one over).
Many thanks again and we do hope to be able to welcome you and your family back again!

Our third wonderful stay at Villa Maria. Perfect in every way. Lovely heated pool, clean modern accommodation and great location for walking to the beach, restaurants & shops.
In addition to that there is the wonderful Helen. Fantastic welcome & support. She is so thoughtful, friendly and helpful. She is a real gem and feels like a friend now.
Already pre booked for next year. Can’t wait!
