Plenty of space and swimming pool was great for everyone. Gale is a very relaxing area. Not too busy with good varied restaurants. Amazing beach which we should have taken greater advantage of. Would stay again Air-conditioning could do with an upgrade and service as not in all bedrooms ##### James This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Blanaid 3 Jul 2023 #### Perfect holiday holiday villa for young family On our arrival to the villia they kindly left the essentials milk bread, surgar, jam and cereal which I thought was such a lovely gesture. The villa was perfectly equipped with pool towels, hair dryers In rooms which was a bonus. The garden is Ideal for kids also as has grass area. We didn't need the pool heated for June and was just perfect. Walking distance to beaches and supermarket. Aldi a bit further away but if book taxi through Uber app to get there and back very cheap. If had young kids there was gates on the stairs at top and bottom which is great. They also had a great selection of books to read and music cds. Overly an enjoyable stay at Villis Hideaway.. Nothing really as very secure and safe if I was one thing The mattress were bit hard but some people may prefer this. ##### Blanaid ### 10/10 Excellent #### werner w. 12 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Tolles Haus in Top Lage gerne wieder W.W.

Coordinate your flights to make things easier, I didn't ! Overall I would have no hesitation in returning to Villa Hideaway ##### David B.

We had a fantastic time the villa was in good shape with all the things you may need on holiday. The heated pool with small children is a great bonus to have. We were two families with 2 children each, the villa is big enough to not get on each other's toes. The people we dealt with were all extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this to anyone wishing to have a top holiday in the Algarve.

Les chambres à l'étage sont spacieuses et la literie de bonne qualité. Juste 2 petites critiques: Une chambre d'enfants au rez de chaussée n'a pas de volets. Il faut une voiture pour faire les courses. ##### Carole et Louis C. ---
