From the outset Sara was great at communicating and asking us preferences for room set ups before we arrived. She greeted us when we got there and was on hand if we needed anything at all. The house is lovely with 2 fab outdoor areas for eating and the pool was used daily. There's a shop just across the road which we went to every morning for fresh bread and they serve nice coffee etc - we also bought many ice creams! There's a supermarket about 5-10 mins walk away, it's pretty pricey (the M&S of portugal) but if you have a car or if you order an Uber (there were lots available) then you can reach an Aldi in 5 mins. The beach is a short walk away and Sara provides umbrellas for the beach which was very handy or you can spend 20 euros and hire sunbeds with an umbrella on the beach for the entire day. There's plenty of beach bars/ restaurants as well whilst you are there. It's a short distance to Albufeira, and there's actually a tourist train that you can catch from down the road which takes you along the coast. There's a handy italian restaurant at the end of the street which was very nice. The house was very well equipped - the only thing lacking I would say was some plastic plates and bowls for children to use. The beds were very comfortable and the en suites upstairs were great, plus another bathroom on the ground floor. Overall we had a very good week, it was very relaxing and we would definitely rebook! Thanks Sara for hosting x

Our second stay at this lovely villa, super location. Beach, restaurants and supermarket at your convenience. Thank you to Sara and Pedro for making us welcome, hope to be back next year .

All was super great! Thank you Sara!

I stayed here for 3 weeks and my family joined me at various intervals. The villa was lovely and spacious and we all had a fantastic time. The location is great - a 5minute walk to either Gale or Salgados beach and 5 good restaurants. I have 2 grandsons (6 and 14 months) and Sara was so helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for them both. We had a slight issue with the pool but Sarah sorted that out immediately even though it was a public holiday in Portugal. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to others.
