Beautiful house, amazing location with everything you need. Host was super responsive and and helpful at all times.

Stayed at this amazing villa to celebrate our friends birthday. The communication pre check in was outstanding and we were able to get an early check in which was accommodated in a friendly, no hassle way. Cristina was there to greet us with a friendly smile and gave us an informative tour of the villa- the tour did not stop there! We asked we here the nearest shop was and Cristina walked us to the door of the supermarket which was only a 15 minute walk but we would not have known it was there without Cristina’s help. During our stay Cristina helped us with taxi bookings and bringing us an item we did not have- all of which was done with a friendly approach. The Villa itself was immaculate, spacious and had every amenity that you could need. Outstanding Villa and host. Thank you!

This house was so comfortable for us. Went with several friends for a milestone birthday. We loved everything about this property. Great hanging out by the pool, loved the balconies, the short walk to the nice restaurant/bar on the beach and close to lots of activities. Would definitely stay here again!

The photographs do not do justice! The house is in a perfect location just a few steps away from a lovely beach. The layout of the property is perfect and we had a fantastic time:)

Good value for money, property matched the description well.

We had an amazing few days at this villa. It was bigger and better than the photos look. The wrap around terrace upstairs and furniture and views of the sea were lovely. The villa is within walking distance to bars, restaurants and a few beaches. The area is lovely and peaceful yet a short taxi ride from Albufiera. Cristina was the most helpful and accommodating when we arrived at the villa and made check in easy for us. The villa itself is well laid out, we loved the gym downstairs. Everything was very clean, comfy beds, and in lovely condition. We agreed to book again for next year if we can ! Highly recommend !!

Thank you to the Owner who has put together one of the best VRBOs that we have ever stayed at. Everything you could need was provided for and nothing has been forgotten. All of the details were covered and well communicated. Christina met us at the home when we arrived. She was warm, and welcoming and gave us a great tour of the home. If you have children there you will need to keep a close watch on them in pool and weight room. The pool was exceptionally clean, enjoyable and we loved that it was so nice and deep at least 6 feet or more. We were so impressed by the close proximity of the pretty beach here. We rented an umbrella and two chairs for twenty euro on the beach. That's a little bit expensive but it was for the whole day and the lounge chairs were very nice and comfortable. We spent one day in Salema on the beach and then later that afternoon we went for a boat ride out of Lagos to see the beach caves on the Discovery catamaran boat. We spent three nights total and I wish that we could have stayed at least two more days to just relax, the home is like a mini resort. The only negative thing (and I hate to say anything negative about this lovely home) was the mattresses. The mattress in the main floor bedroom was so hard and uncomfortable. My body ached from the hardness of the mattress. Other than that, everything else was wonderful! Every detail in this home was thought of. The views of the ocean are quite nice. We felt safe with the abundance of security measures that were on this property from cameras to motion detectors. We especially liked closing the exterior window covers at night. We recommend that you plan to spend at least one whole day sitting by the pool, hanging out on the beach, and having dinner at the beach restaurant. The food at the beach restaurant was okay and the service was average but the setting of the restaurant at sunset is spectacular.

From the point of booking, communication has been excellent! The description of the Villa, the location and local amenities was superb. On arrival Mrs. Cristina helped answer all our questions about the region too. A modern, well appointed villa with superb facilities and fantastic access to different beaches, restaurants and supermarkets. The in house Gym was a massive bonus too! Can’t fault the holiday experience on the whole and wouldn’t think twice about returning. We had 3 children under 13 with us and having your own pool and 3 beaches all within a maximum 8 minute walk of each other was worth its weight in gold! Thank you for an excellent stay in the Algarve!!

We are a family of 7, myself, my husband, our three boys (19, 16, and 7 years old) and my parents. A short walk and you arrive at 3 beaches, with perfect for sunsets, boogie boarding for my 7-year-old, plus offer shade in a gorgeous café for my parents to treat themselves. My dad turned 82 here and the restaurant at the end of the boardwalk to the closest beach had staff that created an unforgettable experience including a waiter that taught this land locked Canadian how to debone a fish (used this skill in later meal). My husband and I had a lunch at a beautiful view of Gale beach, (learned to make the most delicious sangria), ate sweet honey prawns, oysters, and delicious salads topped. We also were able to thoroughly enjoy an afternoon on another patio with a sea view sipping sangria, sampling muscles, and finding a playlist on Spotify that the waiter was proud to share. My parents and I found incredible gifts for our loved ones in Gale and a tourist shopping district in Albufeira and the older boys and I shared refreshments in old town where they were joined a lively game of volleyball with some young Irishmen (Being victorious they shared a “mystery” pink and brown post-match). The house was spotless and well stocked. The pool was clean, and my 7-year-old was thrilled to have free access. Even the grandparents took a dip! We cooked delicious meals using the amazing grocery stores nearby (walk to Apolonia and a short uber ride to Albi). The kitchen had more than enough useful tools. There was even a gym in the basement for the older boys to show our youngest how to use the equipment! The washing machine and drying area was excellent. The view of the ocean and sun set from the top deck left us sipping beautiful Rose and enjoying conversations waiting to happen for years. My two older boys had the time of their lives including an incredible evening on the strip where they enjoyed the activity and friendly people, and my youngest son will be just old enough to remember the highlights with the help of the amazing pictures possible with the endless opportunity to capture the beauty around us. In the end, what set this place aside from the others we have stayed at was the warm welcome we received from Christina when we arrived. She explained everything we would need to know and offered up her personality and beautiful smile. Her welcome set tone for a holiday that will surely not fade from our memories. Thank you.

We had a great holiday with family ranging from 12-62yrs old. We didn’t hire a car but the owner put us in touch with Andrea at Break holidays for our airport transfer which was 80euros each way for the 7 of us. You really don’t need a car as we were within 10min walk of 4/5 restaurants, supermarket and the beaches. The one close by is lovely and quiet with a restaurant with lovely fresh fish and the larger beach 10min walk has water sports. We also used uber to get to the water park and designer shopping outlets which were 30min drive. The villa itself was beautiful, had everything we could have wanted, including the use of bikes, aircon worked well and added bonus of gym. The teenagers were pleased to have Wi-Fi and the DVD player. The villa was beautifully clean, great views, and has washing machine etc Cristina met us at the villa even though we didn’t arrive until after midnight. We will definitely be returning to Gale!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, modern & well equipped villa and would highlight recommend it. Minutes from the beach, restaurants & a supermarket. Plus lots of tours will pick up for Gale Mar apartments at the roundabout if you don't have a car. Unfortunately the previous occupants absolutely trashed the house, the cleaner worked her absolute hardest & got the house into a great condition considering what it had been left in but the breakages from their stay did impact on ours which is the reason for the 4*.

Would highly recommend this very nice villa perfect for a large family or group in a quiet area just a few minutes walk from a great sandy beach. Very clean villa with a very modern feel and spacious inside and out. Would definitely book again.

Everything was great! We had a wonderful time.

Great location and wonderfully decorated. It has everything you need! The owners, management company are also very helpful and respond to any questions you may have promptly. Highly recommend. Thank you.

The photos don’t do this villa justice, it was perfect for 8 adults on a long weekend break. Would be great for families too. Wish we’d had longer there to enjoy it more! Less than a 2 minute walk down to the beach and the local shop was only a 5 minute walk away. We couldn’t work out how to switch the hot water back on and so sent a message and had someone round to show us within no time at all. So glad we booked this and can’t wait to go back!

Property is well laid out, roomy, clean and airy. Well laid out fairly spacious gardens and pool for children to swim and play - with easy visibility from the property. We were welcomed and shown around the property at start and throughout our stay we encountered no difficulties. There is a small basement gym - which we hardly used - but would be useful to others. The property was located in a quiet cut de sac very close to an attractive beach and close to a well stocked local supermarket. We also made good use of the bar b que.Of course we had had very good weather throughout and overall we had a lovely family holiday.

We had an amazing time staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone. The walk to the beach is short and the views beautiful. Booking this and dealing with the owner was a pleasure.

This is a lovely home close to the beach. The pool is just off the back patio and the high privacy fence guarantees no wayward eyes looking in! Inside the home is modern and full of comfort, from the fully equipped kitchen to the comfortable beds. The blackout shades provide ease of sleeping in after a late night of festivities. The beach is only a short walk but if you don't have your own beach equipment be prepared to spend15 euros for two comfy lounges under a umbrella. A well stocked supermarket is just a short walk, would recommend backpack or rucksack to carry all the wine, cheese,meat,bread and other foods back.
