Excellent villa in a fantastic location, Elsa was a great host nothing was too much trouble and communication prior to arrival was very good.The villa had everything you could ever need and more all bedrooms & bathrooms were of an excellent standard on a par to a luxury hotel, we cannot wait to return.
We were a group of six and everyone loved this place! Casa Coralea is gorgeous, even better than the on-line pictures. The kitchen is well stocked and the owner Elsa also provide a few snacks and stocked the fridge with some water before our arrival. Thank you Elsa. She also offered to shop for us before the arrival if we wanted which was very thoughtful.The view from the villa is amazing. Beautiful sunsets over the sea! The beach is a short walk away. (less than 5 minutes) and there is a lovely supermarket also within a few minutes walking distance that has everything you could possibly need. Such a convenient and quiet location, central to anywhere you might want to visit in the Algarve.We are so appreciative of Elsa for her charming hospitality, offering to help with having a rental car delivered to the villa, or with anything we might need. She was always just a phone call or text away. We have nothing but praise!!!Please do not hesitate to book this villa on your visit to the Algarve. You will not be disappointed.
First of all we would like to say that the hospitality Elsa and her husband provided was lovely and warming. The property does not do the pictures justice and is made to a very high spec indeed along with all the mod cons. The villa is approx 2 mins walk to the beach and approx 5 mins drive into nearby Albufeira. The villa is spotlessly clean with regular change over of towels and linen. My only negative points are that the pool could benefit from being bigger for the size of the property and there is a half constructed building that is slightly obscure and blocks what could be lovely views towards the sea that we weren't made aware of, nevertheless the villa is still lovely. I would recommend the villa for those wanting a lazy and relaxing holiday - thanks again. Jo, Paul, Charlie, Harry, Sarah, Paul and Rylee from South Yorkshire
I spent MONTHS researching homes and apartments for our Algarve trip. l want to broadcast the warmth and friendliness of the owner of this property Elsa. She met us when we arrived and when we were leaving. She explained the working of the house and how to maintain the security. The villa was excellent. Every room showed much better than the photos. The beds were perfect. This home is in a perfect location. We were just a brief 5 â 7 minute walk to Gale beach, a beautiful spot and the restaurants along it were serving the freshest fish and seafood. We were also a short hop to a small supermarket that has almost everything youâll ever need for your stay. Prices were very affordable in all those places. The home had cleaners come M/W/F to tidy up. Extremely valuable service. Elsa was the perfect host and answered any inquiry we had for her. All just a short phone call away. Thank You Elsa for everything you did for us. Weâll be back!!!
This was a beautiful villa which lived up exactly to the description. It a few mins walk from 4 or 5 restaurants, the beach and a supermarket (it is expensive, there is a nearby Aldi accessible by car which was much cheaper).
There were 4 adults and 4 kids. The pool was perfect for the kids with plenty of toys and inflatibles already there.
Elsa was very helpful both before and during the stay even collecting pre-ordered shopping for us so that we were well stocked on arrival. She also helped with booking taxis throughout our stay and even brought a gift for our son on his birthday. Thanks Elsa!
The property was excellent and I can fully recommend it.
Just back from a week in Casa Coralea, beautiful villa in a lovely quiet location with the beach, supermarket and restaurants on the doorstep. The weather was a bit unpredictable while we were there so had to venture out on a few days which resulted in taxi journeys, I would recommend car hire if you want days out, if the weather had been in our favour we would have stayed around the villa because it has everything you need. Big thank you to Elsa for welcoming me and my family and for providing a stair gate for my granddaughter, that was so thoughtful and much appreciated. I would definitely recommend paying for the pool to be heated, we were in it every day even when it got chilly. Thank you once again Elsa for being the perfect host.
Immaculate, modern villa in a great location. Fourth time in Gale, near all amenities, would definitely come back. Bonus to have a maid service and pool man. Elsa was friendly and welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Thanks to Elsa for not only her hospitality and fantastic customer assistance while staying at Coralea, but also her impressive responsiveness to email enquiries before we arrived. Travelling with a toddler we had lots of questions!
The villa itself is perfectly located in Gale, 2 mins walk from an amazingly stocked supermarket and 5 mins walk to the stunning Gale beach.
What a beautiful villa! It has 4 bedrooms all ensuite and the villa is furnished to a first class standard throughout. The pool is excellent (we chose to have it heated due to having a young child) and plenty of seating/sun lounger space around the pool and garden area. We used the BBQ most nights with fantastic meats from the supermarket. With views of the sea and sunset a great way to spend the evening.
Thanks Elsa for providing a great holiday, we all loved it and will be back!

Totally amazing my family and I had a great week ,totally chilled, the villa is beautiful and the pictures online don't do it justice, great location 3 mins walk to the beach 10 mins in a taxi to Albufeira, and supermarket just round the corner, thanks Elsa see you next year x
The Villa is beautifully furnished and very clean. Elsa is a wonderful person and I highly recommend renting either of her Villas. We love the location and layout of Villa Coralea!! Although we travelled on a week that it rained, almost every day, Elsa and her husband did everything possible to make sure we enjoyed our stay at the Villa and gave us advice on where to go when the weather did not cooperate. She always answered any questions and was available at all times if we needed anything. Thank you Elsa for all the extra goodies you brought to us! You are truly amazing and we love the way you care about your home and your renters. When we come back to Portugal we would love to stay at Villa Coralea.
Es handelt sich um ein perfekt ausgestattetes Haus mit sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Vermietern und eben solchem Servicepersonal.
Zum Empfang gab es sogar einen umfangreiches "BegrĂŒĂungskorb" mit Obst, Brot,
und einigen Sachen im KĂŒhlschrank, der dem ersten Hunger durchaus standhalten konnte. Alles in Allem sehr empfehlenswert. Die Internetbeschreibung entspricht der RealitĂ€t.
Everything about this holiday and the villa was simply brilliant, from the constant helpful communication to the perfect location.
Elsa was amazing and gave good advice prior to our arrival and a very warm welcome when we stepped into the beautiful villa.
The villa itself is absolutely stunning and very well appointed, the pictures really don't do it justice. The interior is very spacious and well designed and all of the fittings are to a very high standard. The pool area is also immaculate and very comfortable with everything you could wish for including a lovely bbq area that we got plenty of use from!
As for the location, it couldn't have worked out better for us as we had 3 small children in our party so the very short walk to the stunning beaches and the supermarket was perfect. There are three lovely beach bars just down the road too, perfect for a refreshing afternoon drink to cool down. We didn't eat at any of them but the food looked good and reasonably priced.
All in all the whole thing was just amazing and Elsa really is a godsend, always prepared to go the extra mile to ensure you're happy. We're already talking about returning next year!
