The villa is spacious and well-designed, making it ideal for families or groups of friends. The ground floor offers large, bright common areas, perfect for socializing, and easy access to the pool area. The outdoor space is beautifully maintained, with a pool facing the open countryside and a garden full of fruit trees. The kids were always entertained between the pool and the trampoline. We also loved being so close to Alvor — a charming town with great beaches and restaurants. Villa Naturis truly felt like a hidden gem, and we would love to return! ##### Louis This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey 20 May 2025 #### A true Algarve retreat We had an absolutely wonderful week at Villa Naturis. The house is modern, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with everything we needed to feel right at home. The kitchen is very well equipped, and we loved having meals in the dining area with views of the garden. The outdoor space was definitely our favorite part, the pool overlooking the countryside was perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The kids had a great time jumping on the trampoline and exploring the garden filled with fruit trees. The location is ideal for anyone looking for peace and quiet, yet still close to Alvor’s center and its beautiful beaches. We’ll definitely be back! ##### Jeffrey This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma 26 May 2025 #### Perfect for a family holiday with comfort and privacy We were delighted with Villa Naturis from the moment we arrived. The house has a welcoming atmosphere and is equipped with everything you might need during your stay. The garden is lovely, with plenty of space to relax, a practical barbecue area, and even a trampoline for the little ones. Inside, everything is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out, the bedrooms are spacious and the living room opens to stunning countryside views. Mornings on the rooftop terrace were magical, so peaceful, with sunshine and birdsong. The villa is located in a quiet area, just a short drive from Alvor and the coast. We highly recommend it! ##### Emma This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie 13 Jun 2025 #### Peaceful and Enjoyable Stay We had a wonderful time here, enjoying the calm atmosphere and comfortable spaces that made everything feel easy and relaxing.
