After spending a 2 week holiday with family and friends at Casa James, I would highly recommend this villa. The location in a village setting was good. Vale de Parra has a selection of bars, restaurants and shops within walking distance, while the busier Albufeira is only a 10 minute drive away. We enjoyed the atmosphere and snacks at the local Cabanitas Bar and occasional evening meals at the Sae Domingos restaurant. The villa was private and safe, surrounded by ivy clad walls and accessed by electronic gates. The exterior of the villa was spacious, with separate areas for sunbathing, eating and barbecuing. There was a plentiful supply of chairs, tables, sunloungers and shaded spots under parasols. We found the swimming pool very clean and well maintained. The interior of the villa was spacious, well maintained and cleaned to a very high standard by the daily maid service. There was plenty of sitting room for our party of 10 in the large kitchen and lounge. The bedrooms had plenty of storage space and excellent ensuite facilities. We particularly liked the air conditioning throughout the villa, a welcome respite from the heat! We also enjoyed the hugh supply of books provided. The villa owners could not have been more helpful, answering any queries we had and ensuring that we had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. We have already booked again for next year. Many thanks Julia & Family

Wow! Our first impression of our holiday villa was its size, ample space for two families with young children (and Grandad). The pool, patio/barbeque area (with built-in barbeque) were very well appointed and the most used areas of our stay,plenty of room for the children to run around whilst we enjoyed the sun loungers. The poolside w/c and outdoor shower were very handy , especially for the children. the pool and patio were cleaned and attended to regulary. The living accomodation was superb, a well furnished lounge with large flat screen tv, Sky box (take your own Sky card), DVD player, lots of books and some childrens games. Bedrooms, very comfortable, all en-suite and some with tv (master bedroom wired to Sky). Downstairs bathroom (with bath) ideal for children. The kitchen was fantastic, large with a BIG table, all mod-cons, every utensil, lots of pots&pans made eating-in a pleasure. Laundry room was well used (messy kids). The cleaners did an excellent job and were very respectful. The local area has good restaurants and bars within walking distance, reasonably priced and family orientated serving snacks and child sized meals. A mini-market, 2 minutes walk away, has basic English products and freshly baked bread rolls twice daily. Larger supermarkets a short car ride away. A visit to Zoo Marine is a must, we had a great day (and the kids enjoyed it) A brilliant holiday in a superb villa. We'll definitely be going again.
