We liked this villa so much that we have booked to return in September. We love the area and this is the 3rd villa we have tried and by far the best. Very well equipped and comfortable property. Heated pool was a real bonus and we enjoyed the table tennis. It was also useful to have a helpful local manager to welcome you and check that everything was alright before you leave. Despite being in a residential area it was very quiet. Highly recommend. |

We were made to feel very welcome from our first meeting with the villa manager & she was always available during our stay. All of our party really enjoyed our stay in this top class accommodation, which was very well equipped. Our teenage sons especially enjoyed the table tennis in the basement. The pool was fantastic with plenty of sun beds & space to enjoy the sunshine. A car is essential for shopping & eating out. We enjoyed several good meals in the resort of Olhao, about a 30 minute drive away & also in Moncarapacho just a short 10 minute drive away. |
