Wow, where do I start. The villa itself is even better than the photo's. They do not do the villa justice. The sitting room has had makeover with super comfy sofa's. There was so much room for the 5 of us, this would be the same for 8 people. The pool area is great with plenty of beds and the pool itself was lovely. Claudia made everything so easy. From checking in, pool upkeep, bed and towel changes to checking out. She was always available to contact throughout our stay. The location is excellent. We hired a car as we like to visit locations throughout the Algarve and this was central to everything. However if you wanted to stay around the Albufeira area it is close enough to use taxi's as the strip and old town are close-by. We will definitely look to return in the future.
