A perfect week in a perfect location

We had such a lovely week at this fantastic property. The villa itself is lovely, very comfortable and well-equipped but it it the location that sets it apart. Right on the beach, it is definitely the best situated villa we have every stayed in. No need to pack up the car and endure fractious drives to the beach, searching for a parking spot! You simply walk out the garden gate and you're there! The owner described it to us as their 'little piece of heaven' and we can understand why. We had a few teething problems on arrival but the team managing the property was amazing - super helpful and very responsive. Despite our late arrival, the management team arranged for maintenance and other staff to come straight over (around 9.30/10pm) to help resolve the issues. We look forward to a return visit very soon.

Great location

This property is in a great location, however it is not 5 stars. It is noisy in the evening. It is not private, people are wslking by the pool fence all day, and most important it is not safe per the QR code recommendations regarding rolling down the steel doors over all windows and doors every time you leave or go to sleep. The location was however great, right on the beach. The owner was greAt never talked to the property manager

Lovely Villa

This villa is a slice of heaven. The inside has a nice layout with the two larger bedrooms separated which provides for privacy. There were two couples so we each had our own full bath. It has a nice dining and living room area. The backyard is wonderful. It is on the beach but slightly elevated which offers a perfect view of the water. The yard is nicely separated with a pool, grassy area and a table. We enjoyed lunch outside along with the beautiful water view. Evenings on the upper level watching the sunset are extraordinary. We are hoping we will be able to return one day. The owner, Paul, was outstanding. He answered all of our questions and then some. We recommend trying O'Riberio Restaurant and Figueiral Restaurant. Thank you Paul for sharing your lovely villa with us.

Stunning villa on the beach

We had a wonderful week in this spacious villa which has stunning views of the beach and the sea. Very convenient as you can just have a quick swim in the sea and then lie down on the sun loungers in the beautiful garden. The pictures don’t do the villa justice. It is even more beautiful. Everything you need is there. The kitchen is well equipped as is the rest of the villa. Short stroll from the restaurants as well. We will definitely come again.

Perfect location, lovely villa

We had an amazing week at this real gem of a villa. 10 seconds to walk from the beautiful garden down to the beach and a variety of bars/restaurants within 2 minutes walk. The pool was lovely and refreshing (it is late October but we all swam in it many times including our little ones.) An hour’s drive in either direction covers most of the Algarve. We would very highly recommend this fantastic villa!

We spent a week at this villa in the most fantastic position,at the end of the row and next to the fabulous beach in the centre of Val do Lobo .the villa is comfortable and well appointed,and a visit each day from Rita to tidy up and make beds was great.Words just don’t do it justice.

An extremely comfortable,well equipped villa in a magnificent position

We loved the villa, spacious,well planned and in such a marvellous position,right on the beach. Enormous range of TV programmes, including all the UK channels plus the full SKY range. For golfers Vale do Lobo is probably paradise, a lush,well manicured course, set within an estate of very modern,obviously very expensive villas.The bars and restaurants on the front are fine and the quality of the food served is very good - nevertheless and, perhaps because it's such a closed environment, we found it a little boring compared with,say Praia da Luz - where there tends to be much more going on and a much wider variety of facilities. Having said that, the villa would be very hard to beat anywhere and we found it an ideal base for exploring other parts of the Algarve.

Book it now! You WON'T be disappointed

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the villa could not have been more perfect. It is literally on the beach and 1 minute to six restaurants and a bar - what's not to like? The villa is beautifully furnished and had plenty of space for the six of us (2 adults, 4 kids aged 9 - 13). The bathrooms have been recently updated and with underfloor heating, have a touch of a luxurious feel about them. The kitchen is fully equipped and everything works perfectly. The daily cleaner, Rita, is very accommodating and can help with any questions - not that we had any as everything is very clearly laid out for you. The owners, Paul and Oonagh, are only too happy to answer any questions very promptly and sent through directions and offered to get in some provisions ahead of arrival, which was most welcome. All in all a fantastic 2 week break in a true 'home from home' - we would definitely like to return!

Luxury Villa

It is a perfectly situated gorgeous villa with outstanding views all round. The villa itself has everything you could need. My wife and me spent a week there with our three grown up children and we all went wow seeing it for the first time. We all loved it so much that we are going to re book for next year. You will not be disappointed.

Exceeded expectations

The villa was everything we expected & more.There are only a handful of properties in the resort with direct access to the amazing beach & this is the best of them,it's also only stones throw from the Praca with it's varied restaurants.During our stay the house was cleaned daily , the pool & garden were also attended to.The whole process of booking the house & making general enquiries was effortless, the owners seem genuinely keen that you have everything needed for relaxing stay.We are already looking forward to staying again next year.

Heaven by the sea.

The villa position is outstanding. The villa is gets the sun all day and is light, airy, well equipped and spacious with all the facilities you need including an excellent maid service. Best is the easy access to the beach and the beautiful well tended gardens on a larger than normal plot. We enjoyed meals outside on the verandah. The good sized swimming pool looked tempting but it was March! So relaxing, there was no need to leave the villa. It was all there providing heaven beside the sea.

So this is Portugal!

It was our first trip to Portugal so we didn't know what to expect. We were worried that the Villa looked too good to be true...how wrong we were. It is a perfect location to enjoy the beach, the pool, walk to restaurants, play golf and otherwise explore the Algarve. We enjoyed the location as a couple but could easily imagine sharing it with one or two other couples...lots of space and easy to find a quiet corner if need be. Paul was very good to work with and the daily cleaning staff kept everything tidy...a nice touch when renting a Villa!

Simply perfect

Everything about our stay was perfect. From the speedy, friendly and professional communication with Paul, the owner, to the villa itself, which is beautiful, cool and in the most perfect position - on the beach front and a couple of minutes stroll to the heart of the restaurant and bar area. I had wondered beforehand if this proximity to the nightlife hub would mean that the villa was noisy at night, but no, it's tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, so there's no noise nuisance at all. Plus, it has its own driveway, so parking is no hassle either. The villa itself was spotlessly clean, cool, but not cold (we didn't bother with the air conditioning) and the swimming pool was endlessly enticing. The garden was beautiful too planted with scented herbs and towering palm trees that offer shade throughout the day (if you move your lounger occasionally). All in all, it's the perfect place for lazing away the day, reading and people watching, before taking in the sunset from the rooftop terrace. Normally, we like to dash about on holiday, visiting the sites, guide books glued to the ends of our noses, but here, well, why bother? We already knew we were in just about the perfect spot. Anywhere else would have been a come down, so we spent most of our time at the villa eating simple salads and luxuriating in our little piece of paradise. Would we recommend it. Yes, whole-heartedly. It's the perfect spot for a tranquil getaway from the stress of daily life.

Location Trumps All

We have stayed here before and we keep coming back especially for the location. Right on the beach and a 3 minute walk to the Plaza makes life very easy! This year there were various improvements which brought the property right up to date. The owners also seem to take on board suggestions and are very nice. Top class property well worth it!
