Traditional villa with BBQ and heatable pool

Villa La Romana is a charming property in traditional Algarve style, perfect for a peaceful family holiday, located in Sesmarias, in the Galé area, just a few minutes' walk from the beach.



The welcoming living and dining room, with direct access to the outdoor area, provides a comfortable environment to relax at any time of day. On the ground floor there is also a bedroom with a double bed and a bathroom.



On the first floor, the villa has two bedrooms, one with a double bed and another with two single beds, as well as a support bathroom.



The kitchen is fully equipped and offers all the conditions to prepare meals with complete comfort, in a functional and well-organised space.



The outdoor area features a well-maintained garden, a private heated swimming pool (additional cost) and a ping pong table for leisure moments with family or friends.



The barbecue, next to the outdoor dining area, invites long afternoons spent together, in a calm and welcoming environment.



Villa La Romana is located approximately 15 minutes' walk from the beach and the centre of Galé, with an excellent range of bars, restaurants and services nearby.

Pool heating is always an added value for your holidays, especially when travelling with children. With pool heating activated, the water temperature will always be between 5°C and 8°C above what it would be without heating.

Lovely

Villa La Romana is an absolute gem! Its traditional Algarve charm combined with modern amenities made our stay unforgettable. The location is perfect – a quiet and peaceful area yet close to stunning beaches and excellent restaurants. The outdoor area with the private pool and BBQ was a highlight, offering the perfect spot for relaxation and al-fresco dining. The shared balcony upstairs provided beautiful views, and the villa was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

All great!!

The blend of traditional design and modern comfort was just perfect. The private pool area was a paradise where we spent most of our time relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. The location couldn’t be better, within walking distance to beautiful beaches and local restaurants, yet peaceful and quiet. The villa was spotless and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor BBQ and dining area made our evenings extra special. We can’t wait to return!

Outstanding property and service!

The property was everything promised! As an unexpected bonus, when we arrived the property was stocked with essentials (sugar, coffee, bread, condiments, soft drinks) and even a bottle of red wine and a large bottle of Sagres. The next morning a representative met with us (Gabriella/Gabby) who was PHENOMENAL. Cheerful, helpful and very accomodating, Gabby was in contact with us throughout the week and even arranged a wonderful tour for us. We couldn't have asked for more from this experience.

Excellent family holiday villa

Villa La Romana was ideal for our family holiday. The villa had everything we needed and the rooms were very comfortable. The garden and pool area were well maintained and perfect for relaxing during the day. The ping pong table was also a fun addition for the children.

Algarve vacation

We had some difficulty finding the property as the name on the property is not Villa Romana. Overall we liked the villa size, location and cleanliness. We found the beds to be very uncomfortable. We paid to have the pool heated but about half way through our stay the temperature of the water became colder even though the manager said the heat was on. We were only supplied one bath towel each, no extra towels for the pool. Be prepared to supply your own garbage bags and dishcloths.
