We had a fantastic week long stay at Casa Leao. The location of the villa is great easily accessible to the airport, villamoura and albufeira by car. The villa it self is beautiful with amazing views. The rooms are huge and the pool is massive also. The villa agency are very responsive to any issue we had and resolved them straight away. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Casa Leao!!
The location is beautiful: secluded with great vistas and yet close enough (15 min) to the beach by car (which is a must). The house tries to stay true to typical Algarve architecture and is nicely appointed: the kitchen is very well equipped (2 refrigerators) and it has 4 en suite bathrooms. The pool and adjoining terraces complete the idyllic picture.
On the downside, the communication between the owners and the local manager was less than ideal. The local folks were not expecting us and the house was not ready - something that was remedied immediately with a phone call. If you're taking kids note that the internet is spotty and the TV was not working properly (and nothing was done to fix it despite a request.) This did not deter from the great experience, quite on the contrary: the kids spent less time on the TV and more time playing with the well-mannered dog that visits daily. Would definitely come back.
The house is great - ample, many different areas allow for multiple activities, wonderful views too. Plenty to visit nearby.
A bit let down by the lack of cleaning essentials. We had to ask for soap. No kitchen towels or any other cleaning product provided. Cleaning ladies would not do the kitchen. Also one toilet flush was broken and never got fixed despite having reported it.
But we enjoyed our stay and would come back. I just think the house deserves a better attention to those little details. Posting it here expecting that future visitors will get it right.
