We had a wonderful two weeks in this villa, it is set in the countryside with views all around and is so peaceful, we all really relaxed and enjoyed the space. The pool was great and we used it every day. The property is very clean and though older inside, it is very charming. You need a car if you stay here but the beach was only 10 minutes away and to return every day to our own property with total privacy was wonderful. Thank you for letting us share your home.

Lovely spacious villa close to amenities but in a lovely quiet spot, fabulous pool
A property with character - that doesn't mean that it's gone to ruin! Honestly it has stood the test of time and is beautiful - the pool and bouganvilla are awesome and it's such a peaceful place to be. (Mind the mosquitoes though - not many but you only need one....). Generally well equipped but a few things that would be useful additions are a cheese grater and a peeler.
So great to have not only bed linen and towels provided but also pool towels .
Poor communication - or lack of - with the Portugala representative (but wasn't a big deal - just that his directions to the property were rubbish if arriving in the darkl!)

Lovely quiet, private setting.
This spacious villa was very relaxing and comfortable. We could sit by the good sized pool without any neighbours or passers by seeing us and could barely hear traffic in the distance. The grounds were well maintained, the kitchen well equipped and there was no shortage of towels etc. We would definitely stay again.

Very Tired property - really needs a lot of TLC
The photos of the property are misleading. The outside is fine except the second half of the garden (not shown in the photos) is becoming a dumping ground.
The pool furniture is old and not comfy.
Inside the villa is full of old furniture, the beds are OK but small. The linens are old, nothing matches, didn't feel fresh and clean so I ended up washing it all.
The kitchen has old appliances showing rust. Nothing felt clean and the crockery was disgraceful. We struggled to serve food because there were no sets of anything we only found 2 matching large sized plates. We even ended up buying two sets of glasses.
The Bathrooms are also in need of serious updating. There was mold on some of the tiled areas. The baths are old and you have to climb into them to take showers which we considered dangerous especially if you are elderly.
The sinks were chipped and the facets leaky.
If you go in the cooler months then take note the Villa is extremely cold and the best form of heating was to light log fires which is not ideal.
There were two very small heaters but they were too small to heat the larger areas.
Another very big downside was the dogs at the surrounding properties and the Kennels located down in the valley, they barked constantly for hours.
It is advisable to have transport if you stay at this property, its very remote and walking back from the town late at night is not recommended as it is not well lit.
One huge positive is that Carlos, the Property Manager was excellent. Always available, extremely helpful and always on hand to help and give great information on the surrounding area.
The WiFi system a great plus point which Carlos supplied, was also a remote system and worked really well. Definite 5* to Carlos.
All in all this Villa was a huge disappointment however, if the owners would consider making some big improvements it would have so much going for it.

Fantastic villa in a peaceful location
Villa Julia is just as described. Excellent communication from Carlos from a phone call before we arrived to outstanding driving instructions (a car is advisable), easy check in with a lock box and suggestions for restaurants and things to do. He really was always available and so helpful.
The villa is beautiful. Sun all day and a lovely pool. The kitchen is well equipped and there was such a spacious feeling to the place. The wifi was via a portable modem which was so handy as it could come with us when we went out saving our data. The villa felt very secure with lockable gates and a huge drive.
Although it seems remote it is only a 7 min drive to Albufeira old town and 15 mins to lots of lovely beaches.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it.

Muito a melhorar
Casa com áreas generosas e com boa piscina, mas com falta de manutenção no seu interior. Fiquei muito incomodado com a forma com que fui informado das regras da casa, com a ameaça constante de perda da caução. Não é assim que se deve comunicar com os clientes. Exigir-nos que verifiquemos se está tudo em ordem com a casa quando chegamos, caso contrario teríamos sanções na caução, parece-me inadmissível, quem tem que fazer esse trabalho, são vocês, os proprietários, eu vou para lá é para usufruir das minhas férias. Senti-me desconfortável nesse aspeto. Deveriam urgentemente pensar comunicar de forma mais cordial e em correto português, até porque a moradia está em território Português. Por estas razões, não será para repetir a estadia.

What a lovely property.
It ticked all the boxes and more.
Carlos has been very accomodating and the comunication is excellent.
It is a typical beautiful Portugese Villa with some lovely original features, which we loved very much.
The layout of the property is very well made with 1 bedroom near the entrance which makes a great en suite guest bedroom, and 2 others on the other side of the leaving room with own bathroom (Think Parents and kids quarters).
Great Big lounge dinner, very well equiped Portugese Kitchen, and a cover terrace over looking the pool you will struggle to leave...
The villa is situated in an idealic spot away from the tourist buzz, the pool is well thought for kids as well as grown ups, the gardens are lovely, great and handy barbecue area, Lovely lime trees which is a bonus for your drinks and Gin tonic.
Cleaner is a lovely lady and the Pool maintenance team are 2 very charming gentlemen who are more than happy to help and advise.
If being away from tourists, beautifull scenery, and great sunset is your thing, then We can only recommend you book yourself a stay at Villa Julia,
We are already planing our next trip.

Booking was easy and straight forward. The directions and instructions for the property were great. On arrival the villa was immaculate and looked just as it did in the photos..just beautiful. Some reviews have said a tad dated in areas but that didnt bother us as it was all functional and homely which is what you want. Well stocked kitchen complete with dishwasher and good sized fridge. The bedrooms were a good size but could be hot. There are fans that you can use though!! The terrace and pool were just what you need for a relaxing time and a cool down when needed. The beaches weren't far away as were a variety of supermarkets. Its definitely a place for a relaxing and peaceful holiday with places around to visit if you wish.

Fantastic stay at Villa Julia
The communication with Carlos was really good and he always has time to answer any questions and clear up any confusion.
The accommodation was spotlessly clean and has really comfy soft beds!
There is everything you need here at this villa to live home from home.
It was lovely being able to just go and pick a lemon off the tree to accompany the gin and tonic!
Location wise the villa is in a really quiet, rural location outside of GUIA and about a 10 min drive in to the centre of Albufiera old town. The weather for March/April was really lovely and even though the forecast and our phones stated 17 degrees it was actually 27 degrees.
I would definitely reccommend this property and will be hiring a Villa from Carlos again next year. We will be a larger party next year but Carlos says he can find something suitable for us no problem.

Lovely quiet location
We thoroughly enjoyed our 12 night stay at Villa Julia in October 2017.
The villa was comfortable and spacious, the patio and pool were superb and the location was mostly very quiet and peaceful.
I would recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere away from the hustle and noise of the city.
You will need a car if staying here as there is nothing within walking distance.
All communications with Carlos from Portugala were timely, excellent and a lot of info provided.

The most perfect family holiday!
We had the most wonderful stay at Villa Julia this past June.
We travelled as a family of three, myself my husband and our 4 year old daughter. My mum also joined us for a few nights during our two week stay.
On first impressions arriving in the middle of the night, we thought the villa was a little dated. However upon waking up in the morning, we realised this was purely cosmetic. It is an absolutely stunning villa, in the most beautiful peaceful, green setting. Sitting by the pool in the sunshine, is something we all dream of on these cold English days!
The villa is fully equipped with everything you would ever need, the washing machine was a great addition and so useful. The whole villa inside and out was kept beautifully clean for the duration of our stay and the maids were kind and polite. Beds were comfortable, showers powerful, pool glorious, what more could you need! I guess the only thing missing is air con, but we managed perfectly well with the fans provided and the temperature hit Mid 30’s most days.
The location was good, however we couldn’t have managed without the hire Car. We used the run about Clio offered by Carlos which was perfectly functionable, for a reasonable price. (Although no air con - so prepare to be hot!!) Id say a car is a must, unless you are prepared to shell out for cabs.
We visited all the local towns, guia is lovely - you have to try the “best chicken”! It was delicious. Albufeira is ok, although a little over touristy. But loads to do and lots of places to eat so worth a trip. Vilamoura was a beautiful day out, the beach stunning and far more upmarket than Albufeira. We had a day out at the Zoomarine Park which
was a fantastic day out and would highly recommend.
Some days we did use the transfers offered by Hugo (contact details in the villa!) , he was fantastic and gave us some great recommendations of places to go so do ask him if you need local information.
We had a couple of very minor complaints during our stay however Carlos was on hand at all times and all issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently.
All in all, we had the most wonderful two weeks at villa Julia. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone and would return in a heart beat.
Thanks Carlos and team, we hope to be back again soon.

Booking for the 3rd time!
As we had stayed at Villa Julia the previous year we knew what to expect and were not disappointed. As the previous year we spent all our time either sunbathing, swimming, or sitting in the shade under the lovely patio area. This is a wonderful villa to get away from it all and relax. Never before have to gone back to a villa twice, however, we have booked again for next year - so I don't know what better recommendation we can give.

A wonderfully sunny family retreat
The property exceeded my expectations from the extensive grounds, well stocked kitchen to the comfortable beds. The star attraction though must be the pool.
The maid service part way through the week to change towels was an unexpected bonus and the pool staff were on hand to keep on top of things during the week.
The real highlight of the property is its seclusion, ideal for a private family holiday and with the benefit of a 5 - 7 minute drive to Albufeira Old Town and the same to the Marina.
A wonderful week spent here and a property which I intend returning to again and again.

Perfect get away
Booked a quick week away for last minute sun. It turned out to be so much more. The villa was perfect, perfect get away location, yet easy to get everywhere, perfect pool and land area. Although the villa itself is a little dated or you could just say rustic, it was wonderfully clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. As the patio and pool area was so well serviced we only used the actual villa for cooking and sleeping.
Our recommendation is that we have done something we have never done before - we have rebooked for the same time next year - can't get a better recommendation than that.
Many thanks Carlos for making everything so easy.

A little dated but a great villa.
Villa Julia was a great base for our holiday. Carlos is lovely and very easy to deal with but you might have to forgive his tendency to CAPS lock in his mails.
The villa itself is a little dated with a CRT TV, some older furnishings, etc but to be honest when you are on holiday the last think you should want to do is watch TV and while some fixtures were old, everything was clean and worked perfectly. The pool caretaker and cleaner both did a great job while being almost invisible.
The pool is perfect for a family. There is plenty of room for kids while the deeper section is nice too. The garden is full of flowers and the fruit trees are a nice addition too.
This was not our fist trip to the area and we tend to visit quite a few attractions so I knew this villa would suit us with or car rental. The old town area of Albufeira, the marina and several lovely beaches are easy to drive to, as are the FEISA sand sculpture competition, Zoomarine and the Algarve shopping mall. Most places are less than 10 minutes away and very easy to find even without a sat nav and the Portuguese people are genuine and friendly if you ever need their help.
Would I recommend it to a friend.. in a heartbeat.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I was very impressed by the photos of this villa which drew me in to start off with. once you get there it is so much better than the pictures. the rooms are a lot bigger than expected. it is about a 15 minute drive to the shopping centre and 15 minute drive in the opposite direction for the old town and albufeira strip.
We couldn't thank Carlos enough. The TV broke on our 2nd Day but we sent Carlos a message to advise him of the issue and low and behold we had a new one that evening.
I Highly Recommend this villa and i can't wait to go back.

Fantastic value
The girlfriend and I had a fantastic stay at Villa Julia. The Garden and pool area I would rate 9 out of 10, stunning! House itself is well maintained and very spacious, although remote it's only a 15 euro taxi from Hugo into town (bit more expensive than a taxi but a taxi would never find it) and 10 euro back by taxi so it's well worth picking this villa over anywhere in town as you'd never get this kind of property or peace and quiet anywhere closer..
Carlos was on call with any questions or problems so couldn't rate him high enough, we had a great holiday eating out and partying in the night followed by relaxing in this beautiful villa in the day. If I had the chance id go back tomorrow! Can't wait to stay there/in one of Carlos's villas again!
Regards,
Vincent.

Lovely Holiday
Upon arrival at Villa Julia, we were very pleased with the presentation of the overall Villa. Although this is a little more remote than I had believed, therefore would definately reccommend hiring a car.
There is a small restuarant at the end of the road where the villa is located but to reach and real shops/bars and resturants you will need a vehicle to get to these.
We actually used the Transfer company whom were very responsive, although do cost a more than a normal taxi (approx 30 euros round trip to supermarket/beach and Old Town). The local supermarket is 'Fantastic' located in the shopping centre only a 10 minute drive away, the selection here is vast, fresh Meat and fish counter, really had all you could think of. The beach/Old town is approximately 15 mins away by car, we did not travel to the strip as from past experience a little soleless.
The Villa internally is very clean and well maintained, traditional in decor and the bathroom between Bed 2 - 3 could do with some TLC. Our only really gripe was the beds, they are VERY hard and my husband and I found very uncomfortable, if honest. The Villa remains cool throughout the day which was great, although fans are provided.
The outside area is fantastic, the pool clean and a good depth, the sunbeds comfortable and the garden great for the kids. The orange tree gave us fresh juice daily and lemons were the biggest we have seen. The bbq was a little small given the Villa occupancy and rather well used, again could be updated to ensure good use.
Overall we have a really lovely week, we spent 80% of our time at the villa and it suited our every need but would have been 5 stars if nearer to Albuferia itself.
Happy Holidays
