Great stay!
The stay was great and all in order. The location was great but you do need a car to around. Great beaches and local restaurants in the area. The rental agent's service was tops.

Nice house
The house was a pleasant house, with all amenities. It was clean and well cared for. The terrace with a south-facing view was lovely. The air conditioners made it easy to heat the room even in the evenings, which are still cold in January/February. The house is located in a separate neighborhood, further from Altura than expected. A walk to the village center is not easy. The house was a bit damp, especially in one of the bedrooms. The manager of the house was not present at our reception, which was annoying. She was also unable to be present when we left. Telephone contact was good and a complaint about the WiFi was resolved fairly quickly.

Das Haus war sehr sauber, sehr gut ausgestattet
Es hat uns ansonsten alles gefallen. Das Haus war sehr sauber, sehr gut ausgestattet und alles hat kontaktlos und reibungslos geklappt. Sehr gute Lage. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und sehr schöne Strände in der Nähe. Ausflugsmöglichkeiten wie auch nach Spanien gut zu erreichen. Allerdings haben früh morgens und abends bzw. auch nachts viele Hunde gebellt. Aufgrund des ständigen Hundegebells würden wir die Unterkunft nicht mehr mieten. Sonst sehr ruhige Lage. Für das Hundegebell können Sie leider nichts und dies somit auch nicht verbessern.

Definitely need a car
Just returned after 14 fabulous days in the villa. Can't fault anything with it. Hot weather, air conditioning inside. Pool lovely. Kitchen well equipped. Bedrooms all good size. KatyPau was very helpful and friendly. Not far from Altura shops (car) Monte Gordo beach is lovely with many restaurants and shops. Such a beautiful peaceful location with a few animals sounds to keep you entertained. Just get a cafe/bar built nearer too the villa so you can walk to it.
