Amazing accommodation

What a Villa!!! So spacious and clean. Wonderful size pool and with the option to heat it it’s a must to make sure you use it to the full. Pool cleaned regular and garden kept tidy. Water system at night ensured it stayed nice and green. Plenty of sun loungers. Addition of a table tennis table , pool table and table football was brilliant. Bbq is great . 3 bathrooms and 4 toilets is wonderful for a large group . Defo highly recommended!!

Fab stay

The villa was very nice. The rooms were spacious and well equipped. Things that would make this villa better: The name of the villa was not the name we had booked so there was some confusion as to whether we were at the right place. Check in is not until 4pm and when the flight gets you there at 11am it was a waste of a day. We were allowed to leave luggage but with a small baby this was still not ideal. We did manage to get into the property at 3.15ish. Air-con in the sitting room Regular ant treatments. We had to purchase these to keep the villa manageable. This could be left at check in. Free cot and highchair would be a good idea. Pool could be heated but at an extra charge The villa was lovely and the table tennis and pool table where great and kept everyone entertained for hours. It is a little walk to most places and we maybe should have brought a baby car seat for our stay. We managed to get uber taxis for most things but babies dad had to do a lot of walking as the taxis dont have baby seats. Would definately recommend.

Beautiful villa

The Villa is known as Villa Jasmin so inform taxi this !. Also the price of extra bed is a little high when it was a pull out sofa that's already there !. But a beautiful place and family had a great time.

Lovely house in a lovely location

We had a lovely time in this villa, it was ideal for us, pool and house are fab and would highly recommend for a family holiday. There is supermarket in gale but it's very expensive, there is a Aldi and a lidi 5/10 min drive in albuferia which is much better value, there are a few resturants with walking distance of the villa and the beach is a 10/15 min walk which also have a few beach view restaurants all very lovely. It's not a lively place so if your looking for a chill and a few nice meals our this is the place for you.

Great Break

3 couples running away from the craziness of our jobs. Between small supermarkets and a few restaurants, this villa is located in a very calm area. Nice vila, cozy and very clean. We have enjoyed Castelo Beach a lot. A magnificent paradisiacal hideaway on the Algarve coast. Also, we went to a few restaurants and we loved the red wine and the local food. The locals are friendly and love to receive foreigners. I will return with my family next time.

NICE!

We had a very pleasant stay at Villa Palawan. The property is well-maintained and fully equipped, was close enough to restaurants, beach and shops but far enough to be relaxing and quiet. Particularly loved the outdoor area, was so inviting and spent a great deal of time out there. Thank you to Olivia.
