The villa is fantastic, has everything you need to be able to relax. Has easy access to nearby towns and facilities. The hosts were lovely, meeting us late (due to late flight) and allowed us to stay late as well. Well provisioned kitchen including those items like salad dressings and herbs you may not buy as a tourist.
Spotless villa loads room very well equipped and owner was just lovely and very helpful.
Will definitely return later in the year .
Thanks again for a fabulous week .
We have just returned from 10 days in this beautiful house. Zelia was the perfect hostess from start to finish, we wanted for absolutely nothing and the communication was second to none. She even came to see us off at 7.30 am! We will definitely return here. Thank you for everything Zelia.
The owners offered to meet us at the airport because the flight landed late and guide us to the property...it was a really lovely gesture and a good way to set the tone for the holiday. When we arrived the owners had left us fresh oranges and lemons, and had bought us some essentials like butter, bread, cheese, and milk - again, a lovely touch.
The villa itself is really beautiful. The kitchen has all the modern conveniences including a coffee machine and, again, the owners had left us some pods to go in it so we didn't have to head out and find our which pods go in it and buy them ourselves. They even gave us a pair of armbands for our two year old daughter for the pool - which was really nice.
The pool is fantastic, the renovation of the house has been done to a brilliant standard and the area is quite quiet. As other people have said there's a large shopping centre nearby and a motorway-type road but we barely noticed any noise and the shopping centre was a great place to go in the evenings. Lots of food outlets, a cinema, they even have little electric cars that your kids can drive around in (or you can control, yourself, if they're too young) whilst you shop.
We'd never been to Portugal before but we loved it. We loved the fact that every beach we went to had a Beach bar attached if you wanted to eat something after spending the day there. The villa is centrally situated so you can reach all the parts of the Algarve with ease if you have a car. The villa has parking for a couple of cars at least and there's an electric security gate to keep them in. There's even a canopy to keep the car out of the sun so it's not too hot when you get in - so much thought has gone into the villa.
All in all we loved it and would happily book again. We were just a family of three but the villa is so big you could have a few families staying to fill up the space a bit more. :)
Host is amazing very helpful. Home is exactly as the pictures. Many things on-site not even listed. Overall our stay was fantastic and would book again.
The only downside of the property is the noise from the traffic. But location is close to everything
The property was perfect , clean , spacious, comfortable and fully equipped to meet all our needs ,,, fantastic Aircon , pool , lovely beds and plenty of storage ,,, Host met us at the property and was lovely ... bowl of fruit and bottle of wine waiting and kitchen superbly equipped.. dont see how it could have been improved upon.. perfect for 8 adults and plenty of space outdoors if you want some me time... Value for money without question..
Absolutely beautiful villa. The hosts were superb greeting us on arrival. Easy to get to from Faro airport. Excellent amenities. Great location, handy to the Mars shopping centre, Almancil, Vale do Lobo and Quinta da Lago. Car definitely needed.
We will definitely be back!
We had a lovely time staying here. Everything was made simple by the owners from booking to advice during our stay. The house was spacious and immaculate. It had everything we needed and more. It made a great base to visit the sights and we were able to enjoy trips to Quartiera, Loule, Albufeira, Vilamoura and Lagos to soak up the culture and enjoy some fantastic food. My favourite meal was in the Mayflower at vilamoura. All in all we had a lovely week, lots of laughs and lots of much needed rest and relaxation. We will definitely be returning.
The Villa is beautiful inside and out. If anything the pictures don't do it justice. Inside it is spacious and a nice mix of modern with some vintage pictures and traditional furniture. But the real attraction is the garden area. As you leave the kitchen there is a large table, Built in BBQ, and table football all sheltered under a lean-to. There is a section of grass which was great for my daughter running around. The pool is a good size to allow a little swimming. The whole garden is very sheltered, private, and was all child friendly. There is a garage which has an extra fridge freezer, bikes, pool toys, and a selection of children's toys.
The Villa is about 20 minutes from Faro and is centrally positioned for exploring the Algarve.
It is near a dual carriage way and close to a large shopping complex, but because of the walls that surround the villa you don't hear or see them from inside the villa. When you are in the garden you can hear the road in the distance, but it is a background noise that you don't notice. I only mention this because it was something that had concerned me before I travelled, but it really isn't an issue when you are there. Outside the villa is a small private road which leads to the aforementioned dual carriageway. You can walk or cycle to the town Amancil which is about a mile away, but you would need a car to get anywhere else.
Overall the Villa was outstanding and very well stocked with cleaning products, toilet paper, condiments, etc. The hosts were wonderful, so friendly and helpful. This is one of the best villas I have ever stayed in, I couldn't fault it.
