This is a really good villa with an excellent pool, lots of space and good size rooms. We echo the the opinion of other reviewers that it is an great place for a large family holiday. Lots of cupboard space. It’s a bit parsimonious with some things: one pillow each, not enough wine glasses, no chopping board, only one umbrella around the pool. But these were minor irritations, which we coped with. The view from the villa over the marina to the sea is fantastic. But there’s nothing much nearby. Über and Bolt are great for getting around, not expensive. We had no car and did not miss it: parking at the many lovely nearby beaches looked a nightmare and you could get there and back by cab for about 15. But there is adequate parking at the villa if you needed it. Cabs struggle to find the villa to pick up. We managed to adjust the pick up point on Bolt so one would come to the door. But we never managed it for Über: consequently you often have to go to the end of the lane to meet them: 3-4 minutes walk. The rubbish bins for the villa are also there, and recycling another 3-4 minutes. We found Modelo Continente was the supermarket with the best choice. There are no beach/pool towels at the villa, not even for hire. The host could not communicate with us through the Vrbo app for some reason. This meant that we did not receive our check-in instructions when they were anticipated. However, once we established contact by text, that was resolved quickly and effectively.

Good Morning Surah, your villa is in a lovely spot, was quite refreshing to have that breeze given the heat wave that we experienced.... we went to see my sister on Villa Sol down near Vilamoura and OMG it was sooooo much hotter down there with no breeze! The villa was very clean and tidy and lovely big airy rooms, the bathrooms were excellent, looked like recently refurbished so that was excellent. THE VIEW! simply amazing!!!!

This villa is perfect for a large family group. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and due to our late arrival time we took advantage of the shopping service provided by the housekeeper. This was especially welcome after a 3hour delay and 2am arrival. The pool is a brilliant size, beautifully maintained and the deep end was perfect for the dives/bombs and other elaborate jumps that kept everyone happy for hours. Our only criticism would be more sun beds would beneficial and it’s a shame there’s no toilet at pool level. There is so much space both inside and out that everyone can find their own quiet space to relax if needed. We took an evening trip to the old town but found it very busy and crowded so preferred to spend our evenings at the harbour which was much more relaxed. A great selection of restaurants can be found there along with an arcade/pool tables and bowling venue so it had a real family friendly vibe. We did however love the old town for a bit of shopping. Ubers are very reliable and cheap, we used them daily as didn’t bother hiring cars, but they do struggle to find the villa so we would take the short walk down the hill to meet them. A little tip for food shopping would be the Lidl is much better with a lot more choice then Aldi (we did both and wished we went to Lidl first). We loved our stay, great view, lovely beaches close by and it has its own lime tree.

The villa was perfect, our family of 16 (age range from 3 to 63) had a fabulous time. There is plenty of space if you wanted a little privacy or crazy family time. Close enough to everything (a short drive) everyone was very happy with this villa.
