Guest comments
Very enjoyable - didn't want the holiday to end and would definitely return!”
Lovely villa which was clean, well equipped and with plenty of room. The pool was clean and a good size with plenty of sun loungers and a choice of sunshine or shade throughout the day. The pool area could also be gated off if necessary for young children. The villa is located in a quiet cul-de-sac but within a 10 minute walk of the village which has a large number of restuarants, banks, bakery and minimarket. A car is recommended as the nearest beach is approx 5km away and there are plenty of other parts of the Algarve that are worth a visit.
The owner provided an excellent level of service, was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The information provided about the villa was excellent and the free wifi was great for our 2 teenage daughters! A very relaxing and enjoyable holiday!
Great villa for a large family”
