About this property

Very spacious and well furnished 3 bedroom, 3 storey villa in great location

The villa is one of the original buildings in Vale do Lobo (recently refurbished, with new bathrooms, kitchen and bedroom floors for 2022) in an area called Tennis Valley, in a very quiet location but well situated and in walking distance of the beaches and restaurants and bars of the Praca and Praia do Garrao.

The villa occupies almost 1800 square feet, with a fabulous open plan split level lounge/dining area 30' long and 15' wide. The bedrooms are all doubles, with superking beds that can be made into twins - one on the ground floor with ensuite shower room and separate dressing area, and 2 bedrooms upstairs sharing a large bathroom with double basins. It has recently been redecorated and refurbished, and with new bathrooms. In addition it has 4 terraces, on the ground floor, mezzanine, ensuite terrace with the smaller upstairs bedroom, and roof terrace on the 2nd floor.

On the second floor is the roof terrace which is c200' square with a range of sunloungers and sunbeds, this is THE place to get a really good tan in the sun (apart from the beach!), and with wonderful views day and night. A great place also to relax in the evening with a glass of wine and watch the sunset!

The Tennis Academy is a short (3 min) walk from the villa and has a restaurant/snack bar for light refreshments. Guests can use the pool and gym for €10 per person per day and this will also include discounts on court fees and tennis lessons. There is a weekly and monthly membership fee for those wishing to play tennis regularly. Alternatively Resort Cards can be purchased for €60 per person per week and this includes FREE use of the pool and gym at the Tennis Academy, free use of the resort bus (not accessible without the card) and discounts to many local restaurants. Also villa guests can enjoy 50% discount on green fees at the 3 main golf courses in the area.

Designer furnishings and décor, very well equipped with Lazer TV, DVD, wifi, giant bluetooth speaker and above average kitchen equipment inc juicer, blender, health grill. Washer/dryer in the separate utility area. Sleeps up to 6. 20 mins walk in either direction to superb beaches and restaurants. The pool is not on site - 3 min walk to the tennis centre. Guests have free use of pool, gym, and discounted tennis.

GETTING AROUND/UBERS
If you do not hire a car it is still very easy to get around as the Praca and its beaches are a c20 min walk, Vale do Garroa with its restaurants and beaches are a c25 min walk. If you do not hire a car or buy a resort card for use of the free resort bus (only available with the card) Ubers are VERY frequent and VERY cheap - about a third of the price in the UK. They normally arrive within 2-3 mins of requesting them via the app on your phone!

Super location in Vale Do Lobo

Our family had a super stay at Gill’s villa. Perfectly positioned by the tennis club, equidistant from the Praca and the restaurants on Garrao beach. House is spacious and comfy, quiet position. Perfect stay. Gill was easy to communicate with. Also Uber was incredibly reasonable, €5 trip to Julias’s etc so we didn’t rent a car which was lovely.

Fabulous villa, fantastic host

Lovely, clean, comfortable villa presented to a very high standard. The villa sits in a quiet part of the resort, with easy access to the tennis club, praca/beach and golf club. Lovely comfortable bed, fabulous living space with the most sumptuous sofas. Well equipped kitchen with good quality equipment. Gill as a host was fantastic, quick to respond and so supportive in allowing us if needed due to flight changes to a full refund. Thankfully we were able to stay in Gill's lovely home. We hope to be back again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Gill Dunsford

Owner of several properties in the UK, I enjoy finding properties that I can make individual and give personality and enjoyment.

The 3 bed villa in Tennis Valley in Vale do Lobo (property ref p16292) certainly has the wow factor in terms of interior furnishings and is ideally located for the Tennis Centre and Praca area.

A home is nothing without a good music system, and so I have invested in a state of the art docking station which can operate on Blue tooth from a number of devices, mobile, ipad, ipod, and also has two docking places for old and new ipad/ipod connections.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Vale do Lobo only recently in summer 2013. I was shown a villa which needed a lot of tlc and inspiration as it had not been inhabited for 2+ years, and I was interested in the challenge. A few months further down the line, and it was finally ready and I am pleased with the result, and I am sure you will be too!

What makes this property unique

Having the use of a full sized (20m long) pool to my mind is much better than having a pool taking up space on the terrace which is often no bigger than a large bath tub! When I spend time at the villa, I go to the tennis centre (3 min walk) every day for a proper 20-30 length swim. The beauty of this is that many visitors to Vale do Lobo don't know about it, and it can be fantastically quiet even in the middle of August!

The beautiful sunshine, hot weather combined with lovely breeze blowing from the Atlantic make it a very comfortable location to be - even in the height of summer when it can reach 35+ degrees celcius. Out of season it may not be quite so hot, but it is mostly sunny, and a lot more pleasant than we are used to in the UK in Autumn/Winter.
