Large Villa Good Accommodation
Large villa with all the required facilities. Bedrooms plenty big enough, along with plenty of accompanying bathrooms. Lounge area has numerous seating areas provided, and the kitchen can accommodate up to eight if required. The outside area has enough space for all to sunbathe, and the pool is fine as long as the sun has warmed it up adequately (unfortunately we were there when the sun wasn't doing its job every day). The surrounding area is still undergoing development in a couple of places, so the local roads are not to the standard you might expect, but this does keep the very small amount of local traffic down to a very slow speed.
Luis was very responsive to issues, which included during our time: driveway gate remote control needing new battery and air conditioning needing top-up - handled via email and phone calls within 24 hours.
Local amenities are very good, including restaurant and grocery store withing pleasant walking distance (although note comment on roads above), plus the golf courses and tennis availability. A larger Aldi store is also a short walk or car ride away. Plenty of beaches and restaurants within a short car ride (Luis will provide numerous recommendations), and Lisbon central is just a 20-30 mins car ride north, or cheap taxi ride.
In summary, a very large villa with all the amenities needed, easy access to beaches and city, and Luis provides an excellent responsive service to any issues.
