Guest comments
Some comments out of our guest book :
'We have had a great stay. We did it all, from driving up the river road to going to the tourist Zoomarine to just chilling by the pool. Thanks for accomodating our 15 month old. Your villa is beautiful & feels like a home away from home!'
'Thanks for a superb holiday. The villa is extremely comfortable & ideally placed for exploring the Algarve. Your guest information folder was really useful and we enjoyed visits to many of the places you mentionned, esp. Seville, Cabanas & Tavira (our favourites). Also the restaurants you recommend are well worth a visit'.
'Some fantastic restaurants, esp. Dom Rodrigo, very friendly. Nearly everybody speaks english, even in Spain it was possible to make yourselves understood. ... The beach here is just amazing and goes on forever. We would love to come back again some time. Many thanks'.
