Great villa
Villa was amazing, loads of space for 7 people. Pool is a good size and worth paying for the heating in April. Walking distance to the beach and a few bars and restaurants. Local supermarket very expensive, worth a longer walk to Aldi or spa. If unable to get an early check in, it’s worth looking at Scooby’s bar/pool. Will provide entertainment for the day aswell as having a luggage storage area. About. 20 minute walk from the villa.

Family birthday holiday by the beach
The villa was perfect. As a big family holiday for my birthday i wanted everyone to be comfortable and with the 4 ensuites and great living space this was spot on. The pool was a great size and we loved playing pool by the pool. Fabulous breakfast cafe by the supermarket. Lovely restaurant on the nearest beach 5 minutes walk away. Could not fault the location. You don't need a car and if going further ubers are great.

The Villa was fantastic. There were 10 of us and at no time did we feel on top of each other. The rooms were spacious a nd spotlessly clean., with lots of space for clothes etc. There is a well.equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and washing machine and iron. Out side There is a fabulous pool which was cleaned during our stay. There is a lovely terrace with tables and chairs. here was a bbq which we put to good use. Thank you so much Olivia and her team for the wonderful stay at this stunning villa in the loveliest location. See you next year!!

Fantastic Villa - will be back!
The location was fantastic within walking distance of the beach, restaurants and shops. The local area is so peaceful and the pool heated was perfect! The seating areas outside were amazing and we used the barbeque one evening. Many happy memories

Family vacation in Portugal
The home was lovely, spacious and offered plenty of entertainment. The Management Company was very prompt and was an excellent resource to help navigate tours, travel and restaurants. The one area to tighten up is directions to the house - two separate UBER drivers had extreme difficulty in finding the house, so plan accordingly.

Villa was lovely - check in was not ideal.
Villa had more than enough to keep us all entertained and it certainly helped with the great weather. Although the security deposit for a group of friends is a bit steep and there was an absence of a proper walk around (still awaiting communication regarding security deposit refund), we really enjoyed our stay. Karen was really helpful and her suggestions of activities were really good, including water park and fish restaurant. We were not happy about check in, although it states 4pm - we put our bags on the property and it was already cleaned and ready to be moved in, we kept checking in with the 24 hr line, but kept being told to call later and they don’t have the information. It would have been nice to check and allow us to move in early if it was ready, since we pay for that day. Also we were told the pool would be checked, but this was not done and the towels were also not changed halfway through our stay as mentioned by staff. Fortunately our stay was only a week, if this didn’t happen during a 7+ day stay, this would have been a bigger issue. The pool, table tennis table and pool table were good additions. A table next to the outside bbq would be a welcomed addition. I would like to say a huge thanks to Karen and Olivia for assistance, especially Karen who sorted issues with internet and outside lights as soon as she was aware.
