We throughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful villa, which is a stone's throw away from the stunning area of Carvoeiro. Gerard as a host was incredible. Extremely helpful and responsive in the build up, as were the property managers who welcomed us and came to say goodbye. If you're looking for a lovely, comfortable stay in a great family-friendly villa, then I'd really recommend it. Also worth paying the small amount to heat the pool (well worth every penny!) ##### William I. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### FIONA HOGG 30 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Very enjoyable stay We are just back from a break here and had a lovely time, the villa is large, 2 floors, lots of room to give everyone their own space! The villa gets the sun all day long whilst also having plenty of shaded areas so it pleases everyone. Our only minor issue was that 2 of the bathroom doors didn’t lock. It is quite out of the way, approx 30 mins from Albufeira, nowhere really to walk to so you definitely need a hire car to get about.all in all a wonderful relaxing break ##### FIONA HOGG Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark G. 5 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved the pool The house was nice. Loved the location. We asked to warm the pool to 30C. It was great. The furniture in the living room is tired and saggy and lights in the kitchen were out. Internet was very spotty. But we did have a great time. ##### Mark G.

And we would certainly like to come back soon. ##### Claus D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte S. 29 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, spacious, well equipped villa. We had a wonderful stay at Gerard's lovely villa. We were two families with 3 young children and we had plenty of space and lots to do. Loads of toys and inflatables. The kitchen had everything you would need. Great outdoor spaces for eating and sitting by the pool. Lovely beaches and town nearby. All in all a fantastic stay! Stephanie and David from local office very helpful and responsive with anything we needed. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend! ##### Charlotte S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Dawn W. 3 Jul 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Disappointing Although we had a nice holiday at Casa Alha it could have been much better. Over all the property is very comfortable but dated. The property manager was unfriendly and unhelpful throughout our stay. We pointed out various issues and each time ‘it was our fault’……. The TV did not work, the air con in Bed 1 did not work, there was no pool cover (eventually one was installed), the pool was filthy on our arrival and the outside shower blocked and dirty (this was tackled near the end of our 4 week stay), dangerous raised bolts by the pool, exposed rusty nails on the sand pit cover etc etc. The Villa should have been handed over for rental as advertised and made so by the property manager. ##### Dawn W. Stayed 28 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nikki f. 21 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely property in quiet location We have just returned from a 2 week stay at Casa Alha and it was great! Perfect for our party of 6 adults and 3 children. The kitchen is very well equipped (although a non stick pan would be a welcome addition) with plenty or gadgets and cutlery/plates etc. Although it could do with a little modernisation, the living area is spacious but has a lovely cosy feel. Our favourite places to be were the pool and the outdoor dining table which was perfect, especially with the glass 'wind breaks' which were a god send on the windy evenings so we could enjoy dining alfresco and evening games! The pool is cleaned twice a week and I believe the cleaners come once a week to change the sheets/towels etc. Unfortunately, a couple of people in our party caught covid so we changed bedding etc ourselves. There is a small supermarket within walking distance (about 10mins max) with a restaurant 'Luisa's' next door. We got a take away from there one evening as we couldnt eat in. Most restaurants in this area and in Carvoeiro get busy so I'd highly recommend you book a table in advance, especially if a larger party as you may find you can't get somewhere to eat lunch time or evening otherwise. There are a few larger supermarkets within a 10min drive away so car hire would be beneficial although uber is also available in the area which was mostly reliable. We hired a car but we also used uber frequently to take us into carvoeiro which was under €5 during the day and took less than 10mins to get to the main square. Sometimes it can be a bit of a wait for the cars though so bear that in mind if you have booked any trips to give yourself plenty you time. The only additional things I can think of that would improve the villa would be to have locks on the bathroom doors (especially on all those that are shared) and for the additional bed we paid for as a supplement in the children's room to have had a better mattress as it was very thin and quite uncomfortable for my niece to sleep on before we filled it out with blankets! Despite covid restricting our movements so we couldn't explore as much as we had hoped, we had a perfect stay at Casa Alha. Thankyou! ##### nikki f.

Grande villa très bien entretenue et d’un calme que nous avons vraiment apprécié … Le bonheur de profiter d’une sieste ou d’un bon bouquin autour de la grande piscine et aller s’y rafraîchir très souvent 😉 on peut être 8 dedans sans problème avec une vue sur la mer au loin… un vrai régal … Les différentes chambres sont spacieuses et propres , placard avec cintres et étagères pour ranger toute la valise 😊 Dans la cuisine , on trouve les mêmes accessoires qu’à la maison , fait suffisamment rare dans une location pour être souligné et très apprécié ! Le barbecue parfait ! On se sent très bien à Casa Alha , Gérard a tout mis en place pour que ses hôtes passent un excellent séjour et c’est réussi !!! De plus , la Villa est idéalement située pour découvrir les plus beaux sites de la région …et il y a tous les commerces nécessaires à proximité.

Lovely layout. Lots of thoughtful enhancements. You can tell it's primarily a lovingly looked after family home first and a rental a distant second. The pool is a very good size and heating available. The seating areas inside and out are excellent. The kitchen and supplies are well beyond expectations. And the agent responsiveness was extremely good. The smallest caveat is that garden/ play area is a little limited but we really didn't mind since the pool area was spectacular. The location is excellent for beaches and town with a very good convenience store and pizza takeaway steps away. ##### Vijay P.

The local agent David was wonderful, meeting us ahead of check in and providing not only information but a very appreciated welcome pack of essentials. David was on hand all the time to assist and did so discreetly. The pool is great although prone to filling with leaves due to the heavy but beautiful planting around but clearing it daily became part of the experience for us. Location is good for all amenities and a little gem was Luisas resteraunt which is a 15 minute walk from the villa and serves fresh and delicious food and also does take away, well worth a visit. We spent 10 days in the villa and enjoyed each one. Although quite central, the villa is very tranquil and the view of the sea and mountains let us enjoy glorious sunsets . ##### anne marie m.

We spend a wonderful time in a magnificent villa in a quiet area with surprising vieuws of the ocean, the city of Portimão and the mountains of Monchique. The villa Casa Alha is well equipted, the pool is nice and the surrounding garden offers privacy. This home was, unfortunately tempory, our castle. Maria van de Kimmenade. ---
