From its gently raised position, fabulous sea views can be enjoyed not only from the swimming pool terrace, but also from the attractive terraces and balconies stretching out along the front of this thoughtfully constructed stylish villa. The sparkling (heated) swimming pool commands a very sunny position to the front of this traditional villa, where the adjacent terrace affords the best sea views and is sure to be a popular spot for savouring relaxing sun downers, as well as the views. Due to its privileged location close to the beach and resort centre, everything you need is within a very short stroll, making evening strolls into the village of both Sao Rafael and nearby Gale even more enjoyable, knowing that you can enjoy a glass of chilled white wine without having to worry about having to drive back home. No visit to this astonishingly beautiful region would be complete without exploring the many fascinating traditional villages, such as Guia or the cosmopolitan family friendly resort of Albufeira, both of which can be reached in less than 10 minutes by car. This swimming pool has been fitted with a Pool Heat Pump making the pool about 3°C to 5°C warmer at 1 pm than a non-heated pool in low season. In July and August, should the pool temperature exceed 28° C the pool heating will be turned off.

Great neighbourhood and close to beach and Marina for restaurants. Lots of balcony space for all group members Plenty big enough for 8 ##### stuart M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul D. 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Algarve Vacation We had a great stay at the property with my parents, siblings, and children. Overall, we loved the house. The location was great for access to the beach, some local restaurants, and a short ride from Albufiera and other coastal towns. The pool was great for the kids and for cooling off on hot days. The view from the patio and balconies are also great. We really enjoyed our stay. A couple of odd things to note are that we found very strong deodorizers in some of the rooms when we arrived which we found odd. We later realized that the plumbing would sometimes let foul smells into the bathrooms which was presumably what the deodorizer was there to mask. Overall it wasn't a huge deal but is worth mentioning. Also, this, and seemingly every other place we went to had a significant amount of ants. It didn't bother us but if it bothers you, this is something to keep in mind! All things considered, though, I would stay there again! ##### Paul D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen W. 25 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic property and location Much more spacious than I expected.

Miguel was attentive. ##### joseph s. Stayed 21 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne P. 19 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great villa, fabulous pool and views Really good and quick communication from Miguel ahead of our arrival helping to sort transfers and a welcome pack which was just perfect as we arrived late at night. Beautiful villa with the bonus of en-suite for every room. The whole family enjoyed the outdoor space, views, fab pool and games. The only thing needed is a well-stocked shop close by. An excellent stay all round for all ages of the 2 families. ##### Joanne P.
