We had a lovely stay at the Villa. It contained everything we needed, spotlessly clean and cleaner attended twice a week too.WiFi coverage was a bit patchy but spent most of our time in the large and quiet outside area. There is a good size pool and plenty of loungers with cushions for them which was a nice touch. There is sun around the pool all day, although the pool itself is in shade for quite a lot of the day.Great location, a genuine 15-20 minutes stroll to the Marina and surrounding area. Great choice of restaurants.Comms with the Villa owner were good and straight forward, we’d very happily stay again.Thank you Carlos and Ana.

Lovely Villa

The villa was perfect for us (5 adults). The location was good, very quiet estate just a 20 minute walk to the harbour, perfect for eating out and an 8 minute drive to a fabulous beach. The pool is a good size and very well maintained. We used the BBQ one night, worked well. 5 min walk to the local supermarket. Communication with the owners was excellent.Would definitely consider rebooking.

Fantastic vacation period in Vilamoura

It is a very well equipped property with space inside the house and in its garden and pool area. It is great for relaxing or having fun with the children. It also has a good location, near the marina and in a nice neighborhood. As a plus, at the middle of the week the house was cleaned and the pool treated. Regarding the communication with the property manager, I must say that everything was quick, clear and smooth.

Villa Merlo

The property was easy to find and in a great location. The town was only a 15 minute walk away. The listing doesn't do it justice as it was Huge! Plenty of room for the 5 of us with a large pool. The villa had everything you need apart from a dustpan and brush or indoor broom. This would make it alot easier to clean up when you have a mishap. A cleaner came halfway through the week and was friendly and did a thorough clean. We would definitely recommend this traditional villa to everyone!

Great villa and location

We arrived on 10th Oct 23 for a 10 night stay at the Villa Merlo, 6 adults all over 50. The villa was just as advertised, spacious and clean, lovely pool area and gardens, and very close to the shops and Vilamoura Marina. Carlos / Ana were always available by message if required and couldn’t have been more helpful. We would definitely recommend this Villa to anyone wanting a relaxing time away. Some useful info: Uber taxis were here within 2 mins usually, a Spar and Krunchy Kream coffee and doughnuts within 5-10 min walk and Intermarche another 5 mins further, with the marina another 5 minutes further on. Only drawback we found was (and nothing to do with the Villa) there was a lot of mosquitoes about and we definitely had to buy insect repellent and cortisone cream.

Just back from 9 night stay at Villa. The villa is in a great location with respect to distance to the local area. A comfortable stroll to the marina, the old town and quarteria so plenty of options. Our hosts Carlos / Ana were very good with communication and information when we booked, prior to arriving and during our stay. We found the villa exactly as described. Its a traditional villa with everything you need. We found the villa to be clean throughout. As only 2 of us where staying there we used the downstairs space but upstairs has a great space with 2 bedrooms that you access one through the other and a large outside balcony.Downstairs space is roomy, comfortable and has a large kitchen with everything you need. Separate outside laundry room is also available as well as a bbq area. Outside area great with sun on the back and a great sized pool. Looking forward to going back soon!Thank you Carlos & Ana we had a great time

Beautiful villa attentive owner

We loved the villa, gardens and pool, the area was really lovely too. The villa was spacious and the kitchen well equipped. We had a cleaner arrive on the Tuesday and change of towels. We had a couple of minor issues which were promptly dealt with by the owner. The only thing we would suggest is a small welcome pack so that we could have a drink and a quick bite to eat whilst waiting for our shopping to arrive.
