Overall we had a lovely time at this spacious and quiet villa close to Carvoeiro. The kitchen was well stocked and the bathrooms/bedroom were clean and spacious with generous closets. Paolo was very communicative and responsive. Access to the villa with keys/remotes was easy. We walked to town a couple of times, which took about 20 mins. The best parts of the villa were the view from the top deck, the lovely pool, and sunning area behind the kitchen. There were a few things related to the pool that weren't great from our perspective. Firstly, it was extremely cold, even though the listing advertises a heated pool. When we asked Paulo about it, he said that we hadn't requested for it to be heated for an additional 300. He said his son could come over and flip the switch if we wanted it heated, which would take 1 day. Within 1 hour, as we were discussing if it was worth the cost, his son just walked into the side yard where we were all sitting. It was proactive of Paulo to send him over, but we then felt pressured to agree to it. It did make the pool much more comfortable, but looking back at both listings for the house there is NO mention of an extra charge for heating the pool. Furthermore, the pool's cascade was waiting for technical support. The pool cleaning guy also just showed up without warning as we were eating breakfast outside one morning - prior notice would have been nice. Once we got past the pool issues, it was overall a nice trip and house.

The villa was very large and the pool was very nice. The kitchen was a bit tired but had everything you needed. The bathrooms were very large as were the bedrooms. The bathrooms some had need of makeovers. The wifi was excellent. The seating areas outside were very relaxing and nobody was on top of each other. The location could have been better , quiet area, needed car , but felt safe. Good supermarkets within 5 to 8 minutes . The only bugbear was there were mosquitoes and they liked us.

Lovely spacious and well equipped villa.

Excellent property. Very well equipped. Tastefully decorated. Super comfortable beds. Plenty of bathrooms. Pool and facilities outside were superb. Would definitely stay there again but need big group because expensive for a week.
