Harald Wittmann, der das Haus betreut, war immer erreichbar, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Haus ist sehr groß, sodass es genügend Platz für 6 Personen gibt. Im Wohnzimmer gab es einen großen Fernseher mit allen deutschen Programmen. In der neuen Küche sind alle Geräte, die man braucht. Im neuen Hauswirtschaftsraum ist eine Waschmaschine und ein Trockner, Bügeleisen und Bügelbrett. Der Garten ist sehr schön angelegt und hat einen super schönen Pool. Wir würden zu der Jahreszeit empfehlen, den Pool heizen zu lassen, das Wasser hatte dann 28 Grad, herrlich! Wir haben uns in der Viila sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen bestimmt nochmal wieder. Direkt nebenan ist ein italienisches Restaurant, in dem wir zweimal sehr gut gegessen haben. Also von uns 100% Weiterempfehlung! ##### Cornelia S.

Jedes Schlafzimmer verfügt über ein eigenes Bad. Die Küche ist gerade neu eingebaut worden und verfügt über alles, was man braucht. Die Größe des Hauses und des gut gepflegten Gartens mit altem Baumbestand schafft eine sehr angenehme Urlaubsatmosphäre. ##### Heike K.

It was huge with very large en-suite bedrooms. We didn't use the dining room or living room very much but everything was beautiful. The property has just had a new kitchen fitted, and the pool was clean and well-maintained. I would not hesitate in staying there again. Harald was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. ##### Nick C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marjon B. 5 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Spacious property but in need of further updating We stayed in villa Shambala for 2 weeks in January. The communication with the manager, Harald, was excellent from the start. The house is very spacious and we had an comfortable stay overall, but the description on the website as 'newly renovated' is not correct. We were only told upon arrival that the kitchen was going to be replaced after our stay, so we had to deal with a kitchen that was very dated and various appliances that did not work. Harald dealt with the technical problems swiftly and to our satisfaction but we would not have booked the villa if we had known this in advance. The kitchen inventory also completely needs replacing. The cost of water and heating the property for 2 weeks (2 adults only) was exceptionally high. It takes several minutes to get hot water to the master bedroom so a lot of water is used to have a shower. The property has good potential but needs further work. ##### Marjon B.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### eileen C. 15 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful villa with a great private pool This is an exceptionally spacious villa, in a great location and right next door to a super Italian restaurant. The living room, kitchen and laundry are very well appointed and the three bedrooms and huge. Access to local amenities is very straightforward. The property manager Harald was always accessible and very helpful. The only serious disappointment was that our visit coincided with a lot of very noisy and constant construction work on an adjacent villa. Other than that negative we would definitely be back. ##### eileen C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hello Villas Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Hello-Villas.h16190906.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Alvor-Algarve-Resort.h33811605.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Albufeira Hotel - Family & Fun - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Jupiter-Albufeira-Hotel-Family-Fun.h27232572.Hotel-Information) > > [3HB Guarana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-3HB-Guarana-All-Inclusive.h4813341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Navigator - Solaqua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Solaqua.h4461872.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale del Rei Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vale-Del-Rei-Hotel-Villas.h1303668.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta do Paraíso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Quinta-Do-Paraiso.h1984923.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Salema Beach Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vila-Do-Bispo-Hotels-Salema-Beach-Village.h15175162.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale d'Oliveiras Quinta Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Vale-DOliveiras-Quinta-Resort-Spa.h3469019.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Marina Portimao Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Portimao.h976931.Hotel-Information) > > [One Bedroom Sea View Apartment Clube Rio Ferragudo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-One-Bedroom-Sea-View-Apartment-Clube-Rio-Ferragudo.h66241051.Hotel-Information) > > [Colina da Lapa & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Colina-Da-Lapa-Villas.h1456080.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirachoro Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Mirachoro-Praia.h1455748.Hotel-Information) > > [Rocha Brava Village Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Rocha-Brava-Village-Resort.h1111695.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Blue Ocean](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Blue-Ocean.h14861176.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Carvoeiro Golfe - AL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Pestana-Golf-Resorts.h4411575.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Gramacho Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Pestana-Gramacho-Residence.h22880433.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Sao Rafael Suites – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Sao-Rafael-Suite-Hotel.h1210300.Hotel-Information) > > [Água Hotels Riverside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Agua-Hotels-Riverside.h4345792.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Cliffs Residence, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Residence.h904328.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Santo Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Monte-Santo-Resort.h2135874.Hotel-Information) > > [Vitors Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vitors-Village.h2008212.Hotel-Information) > > [Monica Isabel Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Monica-Isabel-Beach-Club.h1515542.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Hotel.h4071.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Falésia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Falesia.h1787641.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Palm Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Pestana-Palm-Gardens.h891487.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Muthu Forte do Vale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Grand-Muthu-Forte-Do-Vale.h7421149.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Alba Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vila-Alba-Resort.h1511579.Hotel-Information)
