The Algarve is the most southern region of Portugal stretching from Spain in the east to the Atlantic in the west approx 100 miles. The southern edge along the Atlantic has some of the most beautiful coast line in the world.

Guestbook for Villa Margarida

Many thanks, we had a wonderful holiday and found your villa beautiful. The children really enjoyed the pool and beaches, which we did every day. Both we and the children enjoyed the Zoo Marine so much we went twice!
We noticed that you did not recommend the Por Do Sol but we enjoyed many meals there and there was room for the children to play.
Once again many thanks and please pass on our thanks to Linda who made us very welcome.
Craig, Suzanne and family


PLACED NOV 2008 The holiday to the Algarve was a surprise for Chris my wife as she was celebrating her 50th birthday. We were joined by our sons and their girlfriends. Villa Margarida was exactly as described. It was immaculate both on arrival and thanks to the daily maid service. The villa was spacious and provided all we needed for our two week stay.
The information pack provided by the owner enabled us to find our way around without a car as we walked to beaches, bars and restaurants. Our sons were in heaven with a curry house, chinese restaurant and italian takeaway within walking distance. The View Bar complex with small shop and Sky Sports was particularly popular and handy. The beaches around Gale are excellent and all within a 10 to 25 minute walk. Trips to Albufiera were straightforward with pre booked taxis and quite inexpensive. The Old Town is a better bet than The Strip, for wrinklies and young couples.
Customer service was very impressive and included arranging airport transfers, taxis and the immediate replacement of a broken kettle.
The area around the villa is a peaceful residential area. we were advised before departure of a development close to the villa. We were not troubled by this during our stay at all and when completed the area will be enhanced by a modern well presented apart hotel. All balconies (every bedroom) enjoyed extensive views of the ocean and varied skylines.
The outside amenities were a huge plus with the large, clean pool with loungers, extensive and adaptable dining furniture and a most impressive brick BBQ.
We would have no hesitation in recommending the villa to friends and family. This was our first visit to the Algarve. We will return and would try to book Villa Margarida before anything else. Thanks Kevin (owner) you made a special surprise a very special holiday
