Burglars at large in area, need to be aware. Property was entered at night whilst we were sleeping.

Spacious villa that was clean and well equipped. Pool was perfect for 4 children aged 11 to 14 and adults too! Restaurants in walking distance of villa and nice child-friendly beaches less than 10 minute drive away which was great. Recommend having a car if you stay here. Only negative really was the comfort of seating - recommend owners invest in new indoor sofa and some cushions to accompany the outdoor seats! Would stay again if back in the same area of Portugal.

A spacious villa inside and out.
Although I gave the villa acomodation a 5* rating it really needs more comfortable seats. The current seating is very poor.

Beautiful villa with everything you could need for your stay. Excellent pool and spacious rooms. Although a little dated, it was clean and very well kept. There was 7 of us and more than enough space with extra pull out beds in the kids twin room so could sleep more. Aldi is a 20 min walk away and a few restaurants in the area but otherwise a cab ride into Albufura old town is just 10 mins away (not walking distance). We didn’t have a car so spent on cabs as the villa is quite out of the way. Overall a fantastic place.

The villa was large, clean, comfortable and beautiful. The pool was very cold but clean.
We were moved from a villa much closer to the beach, restaurants and a pool bar so we had a long walk to do with small kids to get to anywhere, but the location of the villa can’t be changed. A car is probably necessary for families staying here.

Marco Real provides attractive, spacious, excellent, clean and quality 4 bedroom accommodation in a quiet semi-rural quiet setting (with views as far as Armacao de Pera) but still near to restaurants, shops (walk 10-15 mins, car few mins ) and the wonderful Galé beach (walk 35 mins, car under 10 mins). There is a large L shaped swimming pool which, whilst un-heated, is clean and we managed to use most days during our October 21 visit. The well fitted Villa has a large kitchen which is well stocked with equipment, utensils, pans etc the dishwasher looks fairly new and works well. The garden area is large, attractive and felt both private and secure. The is plenty of private parking space. The property is professionally managed by local agents.
One of our over-riding memories of this Villa is the spectacular sunsets watched from the panoramic balcony.
The seating in the lounge is getting a little tired and not particularly comfortable.

The villa was clean and well kept. A great size for our group of 8. The pool was lovely and well kept by the pool man who came twice in the week. The hammocks are a great touch too
Highlight was the outdoor BBQ and seating which was perfect for the evenings!

We have just spent a heavenly ten days at this beautiful villa and would definitely recommend! It is immaculately clean and the pool (although slightly chilly to begin with) is perfect for cooling off from the hot sun. There are 4 supermarkets within easy walking distance once you get your bearings and the beach is about a 30 minute walk. If that’s too far, the local taxi company is very reasonable and very helpful. There are some lovely restaurants about 10 minutes walk from the villa and food and drink are both very reasonable - I would advise booking a table as they get very busy. Management staff could not have been more helpful and directed us to Scooby’s pool and bar when we arrived too early to check-in. This was a great way to start our holiday. We are already talking about booking again for next year!

The service was exceptional all round. The cleaners/ pool and garden maintenance kept the initial high standard up during the week. The design of the villa allowed us to enjoy the very warm weather with shade at all times during the day. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was really effective and meant we could all sleep comfortably. A slightly more comfortable sofa and updated kitchen would add even more to the fantastic experience. We’d recommend this villa without hesitation - and will probably book again in the future.

Really nice house in a lovely location, close to beach and amenities but quiet and relaxing.

Relaxing stay in lovely accommodation and a particularly good pool . Staff at the management office were both friendly and helpful and we couldn’t really find fault other than perhaps making the instructions for using the tv a little clearer ! Thanks !!

Family of 8, including 2 young girls
Whole experience was superb. Host allowed us to check in earlier than usual due to our early flight. Arrived to office to pick up the Keyes, very informative. Villa was even better than on the web. Welcomed us with some breakfast. During the stay pool was cleaned by a very friendly gentleman, third day in maid service replaced all the towels and cleaned the property.
Whole experience was superb and we do would use and recommend to all.
Decent size with all facilities. Dropping keyes was straight forward, due to again an early flight we have dropped keyes in the office key box, office is located 2 min drive from the property.
Great connection from the airport, only 35 min drive. Close to the beach and town, about 5 min drive. Down the road lady selling fresh oranges and apricots.
Fantastic holiday, everyone loved it.
Thank you will definitely visit again.

The villa was very clean and tidy, we had an evening flight so arrived at the villa late and There were a few essentials ready for us ie milk, bread, butter and beer.
Our party consisted of 7 adults and one child and there was more than enough room.
We were remote enough for peace and quiet but only a 10minute walk from a small strip with lovely restaurants, a couple of bars and supermarkets/shops.
Would definitely recommend Villa Marco Real to anyone!!
