Guestbook
Mrs Ferris of Cirencester 2007: We had a wonderful time there with our daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons. You have a beautiful villa in an ideal location. Thank you very much for allowing us to use it.
24 May 2008
Dear Trisha and Les. We wanted to write and express our heart felt thanks and appreciation for a really superb and enjoyable stay at your villa. We felt so privileged to stay in such a beautiful and prestigious villa. Right from the moment we walked into through the front door we were amazed at how well kitted out and decorated it was. It certainly lived up to its name “Villa Serena”. The peace and tranquility was a great joy and contrast to our busy lives at home! Our days were broken into two. In the mornings we visited local beaches including Praia Do Camillo (Lagos), Praia do Salama, Praia do Almedena, Praia do Burgau and Praia do Zavil. Our favourite was Praia Do Camillo. The afternoons we spent in the lovely pool and on the patio. Every evening we enjoyed using the BBQ facilities and watching the sunset. You will be glad to know we had no breakages during our stay. We will post the villa keys to you on Tuesday next week after the Bank Holiday Monday and look forward to receiving the return of our deposit in due course. We would love to return to the villa in the near future so will no doubt be in contact again.
Many thanks and best wishes
