What a great house. Couldn’t be in a better home for our holiday!

Overall, we were very happy with the house, which had a well-equipped kitchen, a fantastic outdoor area, and a private, spacious plot. The flat lawn was perfect for play, and the large pool area never felt crowded, always offering a sense of seclusion. The house itself is spacious and well-suited for 10 people, as long as everyone is comfortable sharing double beds. It was nicely furnished—nothing to complain about. Any small issues that came up were quickly handled by Erwan, and Bruno, the handyman, was incredibly warm and kind. Household waste can be disposed of just a 2-minute walk away, just outside the gates.A few things worth knowing:•The included cleaning is mainly limited to emptying bathroom bins and wiping sinks—anything beyond that needs to be requested specifically. However, a mop and vacuum cleaner are available if you prefer to tidy up yourself.•A rental car is essential, as it’s quite a distance to grocery stores and restaurants.•If you’re particular about pillows, it’s a good idea to bring your own—the ones provided were unfortunately a bit lumpy and synthetic.Thank you for a lovely stay!

Fabulous villa that has been thoughtfully and tastefully built to accommodate every need for a great stay. All bedrooms are en-suite, the pool is superb and the outside kitchen a real bonus. Everything has been thought through including nice touches like leaving fruit, bread, water etc.The managing agent was excellent and responded to basic questions really quickly. He was really easy to deal with.

Beautiful villa in a relatively quiet part of the Algarve. I stayed with my extended family including five adults and three children (age 4, 3 and 8months) and with two cars. The bedrooms are clustered together, each with a terrace and chairs and all en-suite (one shower over the bath and four walk-in showers). Comfortable beds. The kitchen is brilliantly equipped, there were two dining tables that could seat us all (one inside and one out). Loads of parking and secured behind a gate, felt very secure with the shutters both at night and when out. The pool was incredible - we paid to have it heated and swam at least once a day. Erwan (the host) was extremely helpful and responded quickly to every question. My only constructive suggestion is to replace some of the towels, but an extremely minor point. Beaches we enjoyed: Salema (visit at low tide and climb up some rocks to see dinosaur footprints), praia de Carvalho (gorgeous bay, requires a climb down steps but we managed with the children), Carvoeiro (busy but you can park near the school for a great playground and then walk down to the beach with bars/restaurants right behind it).Food we enjoyed: takeaway pizza from L’Oasis pizzeria, lunch at Levels Carvoeiro.Longer trips: (one hour drive) 1) praia de Casteljo on the west coast, or 2) Sagres lighthouse and fort, with Martinhal beach as an option. Eat at The Hangout or the Laundry with Alice Gelato after.Overall I’d thoroughly recommend.
