Suitable for a family and a larger group. ##### Anna-Lotta From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leigh 9 Sept 2024 #### Leigh's review We enjoyed a great family holiday in ‘The Gaff’. The villa was spacious, the pool was the perfect place to cool down, and the tennis court added a little bit of competition between our boys (the net was just a little tired). We had a couple of minor issues which didn’t negatively affect our experience, but they were quickly dealt with by their maintenance team anyway. Overall, a great space for our family with plenty of spare rooms! ##### Leigh From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leigh 9 Sept 2024 #### Leigh Howard We enjoyed a great family holiday in ‘The Gaff’.

Having our own space and pool was fabulous, house had all the amenities we needed, so many bathrooms for everyone, and checkin was really well explained by Katherine. We had one small issue with a blocked drain which was resolved the same day by the company, so we couldn’t ask for a better response. The house was just as described and a fabulous place to stay. Thanks for the great communication and support during our stay. Highly recommend staying here and hopefully we’ll be back one day soon. ##### Emma ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [AP Adriana Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-AP-Adriana-Beach-Resort.h1516199.Hotel-Information) > - [STYLISH APARTMENT SLEEPS 6/2 Bedrooms/2 Bathrooms Gramacho Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-STYLISH-APARTMENT-SLEEPS-6-2-Bedrooms-2-Bathrooms-Gramacho-Golf-Resort.h30098517.Hotel-Information) > - [AP Maria Nova Lounge - Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavira-Hotels-AP-Maria-Nova-Lounge.h1204797.Hotel-Information) > - [Your own Private 3 acre, Exclusive Holiday Village “Casa Branca”](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Your-Own-Entire-3-Acre.h55989601.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Gated Villa | Private Pool | Sesmarias near Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Luxury-Villa.h27575820.Hotel-Information) > - [Vitors Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Vitors-Village.h2008212.Hotel-Information) > - [Spacious luxury villa with A/C near beach with private pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Spacious-Luxury-Villa-With-AC-Near-Beach-With-Private-Pool.h33588568.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Magaída, AC, private space with pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavira-Hotels-Villa-Magaida.h34051888.Hotel-Information) > - [Tivoli Alvor Algarve - All Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Alvor-Algarve-Resort.h33811605.Hotel-Information) > - [Vale d'Oliveiras Quinta Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Vale-DOliveiras-Quinta-Resort-Spa.h3469019.Hotel-Information) > - [AP Cabanas Beach & Nature - Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavira-Hotels-AP-Cabanas-Beach-Nature.h1094212.Hotel-Information) > - [Genie's Villa Boutique, Algarve-Family Friendly-Pool,Balcony Garden, Terrace,BBQ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loule-Hotels-Genies-Villa-Boutique.h19107126.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) > - [Smy Santa Eulalia Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Apartamentos-Palmeiras-Santa-Eulalia.h18931770.Hotel-Information) > - [3HB Guarana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-3HB-Guarana-All-Inclusive.h4813341.Hotel-Information) > - [NAU Sao Rafael Suites – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Sao-Rafael-Suite-Hotel.h1210300.Hotel-Information) > - [Encosta Da Praia Luxury Villa Private Pool Near Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Villa-Encosta-Da-Praia.h21329756.Hotel-Information) > - [Colina da Lapa & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Colina-Da-Lapa-Villas.h1456080.Hotel-Information) > - [Água Hotels Riverside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Agua-Hotels-Riverside.h4345792.Hotel-Information) > - [Pestana Palm Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Pestana-Palm-Gardens.h891487.Hotel-Information) > - [Lagoa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagoa-Hotels-Lagoa-Hotel.h11915030.Hotel-Information) > - [Mirachoro Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Mirachoro-Praia.h1455748.Hotel-Information) > - [Kimpton Atlântico Algarve by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Kimpton-Atlantico-Algarve.h3036868.Hotel-Information) > - [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > - [Tropical Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Tropical-Sol.h9553504.Hotel-Information) > - [Masana Algarve, a Destination by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Masana-Algarve.h2691452.Hotel-Information) > - [Vila com estilo Marrocos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Vila-Com-Estilo-Marrocos.h18939827.Hotel-Information) ---
