Remote Work Trip with Colleagues
We spent a week on a remote work trip at the villa. At the beginning of the trip, we had a few issues with the condition of the villa – for example, the dishwasher and the air conditioning weren’t working. Fortunately, communication with Jim went smoothly, and we were able to get things sorted out. The villa isn’t luxurious, but it’s pretty decent!

Surpris de n'avoir personne à l'accueil et des désagréments qui ont suivi: clef bloquée dans le portillon, vollets roulants ne fonctionnants pas dans les chambres ainsi que les fermetures des fenètres et des baies vitrées au rez de ch et à l'étage... Le ss qui avait du être inondé est resté très humide avec une odeur de moisissure désagréable Dans la cuisine :four qui ne fonctionne pas, congelateur qui fait frezer, poubelle pour un studio, manque de saladier de torchons Rideau de .fermeture de la piscine.ne fonctionne pas . Certaines choses ont été reparées dés les jours suivants notre arrivée, très dommage qu'un état des lieux n'ai pas été fait avant . Malgrés tous ces désagréments nous avons tous passés un agréable séjour cette très belle villa convient en bon état... a une grande famille comme nous étions. Nous avons fait remontér auprès de notre hôte lors du séjour les points négatifs de cette villa qui auraient du étre vérifiés.Meilleurs sentiments.

Villa review
I would highly recommend this villa if you are travelling to Albufeira. We travelled in a group of 18 for my sisters hen party and it was amazing. The villa itself is so stunning with so much space the pictures don’t do it justice. Jim the host was extremely helpful since the day I booked it. Any queries or questions I had he had helped with straight away. The location of the villa is perfect. Only 5 minuites in a taxi to the strip and they were so easily accessible.

Nice and clean. Loved the pool. Perfect location. Very helpful and well arranged with transfers. For a large group it would be desirable with one or two more coffe machines. Also a kind of ”restaurant dishwasher”/a larger one.

Quinta da Carmo
In general this is a lovely spacious property which is well set out. Unfortunately it appears that they have had a flood in the basement which leaves two of the rooms not habitable because of blown plaster and mould. The pool was lovely once it was cleaned but initially was bright green. There were quite a few snags such as broken shutters, lights and sockets which did not work and became annoying. Just needs a bit of a smarten up otherwise we had a lovely time.

Amazing villa
Villa was amazing and had everything we needed. Close to both the strip and old town square. Shops, cafes and restaurants all in walking distance. Stayed with a group of 25 of us, perfect for our hen party. Jim was very helpful, he went above and beyond with everything and his communication was very efficient and informative. The only negative we had to the villa is the basement rooms are very damp and have mould on walls. Would definitely recommend but avoid using the 4 basement rooms. There’s plenty of room on the ground and first floor.

50th birthday
Jim was a wonderful host and helped us with any questions and resolved queries quickly. The house was lovely and spacious, great for a 50th birthday weekend with 33 of us. Down points the downstairs was very damp and smelt of damp. It really needs sorting out as it is not great at all. It need a bigger fridge for the size property especially for those that are catering themselves. Overall, we had the best time :)

Amazing villa
Stayed here for my sister’s hen party. Lovely spacious clean villa. There were 26 of us and we had plenty of space. Jim was so helpful throughout with the planning. Villa very close to new town. We used uber and would range from €5-8 to new and old town. Large supermarket less than a 5minute walk and loads small restaurants near by. Highly recommend.

OK ferie
Der var mange småproblemer med huset. Kakkelakker i kælderen var ret ulækkert. Varmepumpe kunne ikke reguleres. Affaldshåndtering betød at vi enten måtte have køkkenaffald på køkkenbordet eller i plastsække i indkørslen - som nattens dyr - ræve eller gadehunde - så lukkede op.

Disappointed
We had a good holiday here but the villa really put a damper on it. Excuse the pun! We had planned our rooms so that everyone would have their own space either as couples or singles and that wasn’t to be or even addressed. ✅ Jim was superb throughout the booking process over a few years due to covid! He was efficient and answered all questions quickly and cohesively. Booking through him was easy and we would definitely use him and VRBO again. ✅ the location was great. The beach is a short walk away. There’s a lovely cafe / restaurant on the beach and there’s water sport options too. ✅ supermarket facilities and options are plentiful all a short dusyance away - Aldi, Intermarche and Apolonia. Some walkable, mostly short car ride. ✅ Bin facilities were a 10 minute walk or quick drive away. ✅ the bed rooms were all good in size with excellent wardrobe spaces, good furniture and comfortable beds. ✅ The bathrooms were lovely. Large showers and a lovely finish to them. ✅ The inside living area was great - spacious, sofas were comfy and the table was big. ✅ the outside eating area was good. The BBQ was big and easy to use. (However the table only just fit us - a party of 19 - so if the house was full I’d question where everyone could sit) ✅ getting Ubers was super easy. Cons. ❌ the four en-suite bedrooms in the basement could not be slept in / used. There was evidence of a flood and the smell of damp was very pronounced and unpleasant. It made the rooms uninh

Fantastic villa, which accommodated 36 in our group for the family holiday. (4 months to 50's yrs). Jim was exceptional with his communication and organisation leading up to the trip. He made sure everything was in place and we were well informed with the local amenities. The villa was huge and provided everything we required from cots, high chairs to extra fold out beds and bath towels. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was great and well needed. All ages loved the pool and games room which kept the fun going all week. Location is great as there are plenty of restaurants and bars, beaches and supermarkets within walking distance. Both the old town and new strip were a short taxi ride away - uber or tuc tuc highly recommended. I would certainly recommend Qunita do Carmo for families and hope to return again.

Stag do!
Had my stag do here with 23 of us and still plenty of space but have to say was unbelievable. Villa was even better than the photo's. Had to get taxi to strip and old town because of distance but only 5/10 mins away so no big deal. Jim was absolutely brilliant from booking up to when we arrived he sorted all our transfers. Second time gone through Jim for a villa after last year for a stag do and will be going through him again next year when we are back.
