OUTSTANDING TRADITIONAL VILLA WITH LARGE PRIVATE HEATABLE POOL, WIFI & AC

This is a lovely villa & the pool/lounging area were great. It's in a nice area close enough to walk to bars & restaurants & the local supermarkets.

Lidl & Aldi supermarkets are further away, but if you don't hire a car there are plenty of cheap taxis. We used the Albufera Sol, which is just across the street as our start/end destination for taxis, easier than trying to describe where the villa was.

We were a family of six adults & there was plenty of space, we ate out most nights, there are lots of great restaurants, did a barbecue once, which was a great success & cooked breakfast every morning, the kitchen was well stocked with kitchen equipment (bring your own condiments!)

The 'old town' is well worth a visit, just to walk around or have a meal, you could walk, but its about 20 mins, taxi was only about 8 euros.

We had a hire car & went to see the Benagil Caves approx 35 minutes drive, did a short boat trip & kayaking & spent a fabulous day on the beach there. There is a great walk up above & around the caves, really worth the trip, we didn't book anything till we got there & it was very reasonable. If you don't have a car you can book on the street locally, or online & get picked up.

We were there in May & it was beautiful in the daytime, but rather chilly in the evenings, so a light sweater is definitely required!

I would certainly recommend this villa, only very minor cons were the beds were rather firm & the towels very rough!

We spent a week in this good villa in April. The location was great, close to all amenities, but in a quiet cul-de-sac. The pool is very large, and is 1.5Metres deep to 2Metres deep. We made good use of the kitchen, as the supermarkets are within walking distance. There are some good restaurants close by, I can recommend Curry Leaves, and Taco & Burrito. There are local shops that you can buy inflatables for the kids to make good use of the pool.

You can also get to 'The Strip' within a few minutes if you want, by car/taxi. The agent who met us at the villa on arrival, was superb, many thanks Carlos! There is a small shopping complex a few miles down the main rd, with a McDonalds and KFC across the rd.

I would recommend you go a few miles further, to Albufeira old town, it is a good day out with the family.

The only negatives I can mention;

Iron & Ironing Board rather old

Quite cool in the villa in the evening, in the low season, take a warm top/robe! There are air con/heater units in the bedrooms, none in the main seating area though.

Overall, I would recommend this villa, especially in the warmer seasons! Great location for everything, yet not too close! Found the Intermarche Supermarket which is a 5 minute walk up the main rd, was great. Spoilt for choice as far as eating out goes locally too.

We spend a marvelous week in this beautiful traditional villa. our group was composed by 5 adults and 3 children and we had more than enough space. On arrival the local rep (Carina) came to meet us just after we arrived showed us around and provided is phone number - great service. highly recommend staying here

Great property, very well located. All ameneties close by. Amazing holidays. Thank you Algarve Vacation

The villa is nice and good for 8 people. The pool is also nice during the warm days
