The villa's accommodation surpassed our expectations. Spacious and well-appointed, it provided a comfortable haven for our family. The proximity to Gale Beach meant we could easily indulge in sun-soaked afternoons and breathtaking sunsets.
As a family, we felt entirely at home in this villa. The serene surroundings and thoughtful amenities catered to our needs, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable retreat for all ages.

Steps away from the beach, this Villa was perfect for our family. A perfect seaside retreat with all the comforts for a memorable stay. Highly recommended.

Overall property fulfilled all our requirements for family, children and grandchildren. Location within walking distance of beach and supermarket.

Fantastic house with all you need! We were a group of 16 with children.
The house is 5 mins walk to a supermarket and 5 mins walk to the beach. Perfect location. Also 15mins drive from Albeifura old town and 20mins from Zoomarine. Both great to do. And the Uber are fantastic and super quick out there!
Would recommend heating the pool if you go out of season.
Would totally rent again. Thank you

Overall this was the perfect villa for us as 5 friends in their 60s. It was huge and we found we could have a bedroom and a bathroom each. The pool was lovely and the location so close to an excellent supermarket was brilliant.
We did have a bit of a problem on the first day when the electric went off and after an electrician was sent out promptly to reset the fuse box - it happened again and we discovered it was a faulty kettle tripping the electrics.
You need to keep the work surfaces clean as otherwise the ants take over !
One issue we felt could be improved was a lack of information in the villa about the house and the locality( maps , guides etc) We found the short cut to the beach on the last day !!
If there had been a guest feedback book it would have given restaurant recommendations which are invaluable to new guests.
Overall we enjoyed our holiday very much.

They take your money without agreeing. They also provide nothing. Not even a bin bag.
We stayed at this property with 6 small children. Who get towels dirty, this was mainly because there was no door mats so they had to be used to dry wet feet after being in the pool. This was after one of the adults slipped and grazed their knee.
We didn’t wash the towels as we thought that was part of the cleaning. Rather than wash the towels and determine if they would become clean they have taken €73.50 from my deposit for new ones. I would easily of been able to get the towels clean by putting them in the washing machine they provide in the Villa. I have stayed at many properties and never ever been charged for new towels.
The property is nice but very tired, it needs a refurbishment. The wardrobe doors have to be opened with huge care for the worry of them coming off the rails, the sofa could do with a deep clean and the hob has huge chunks out of it.
The 3 rooms on the bottom floor are what I can describe as prisons as they have no natural light.
They have 2 fridges which are quite small and not big enough for the property so we needed to go to the supermarket every other day.
On check out day they wanted to charge us €5 per hour per suitcase (we had 18 suitcases) to store until we had an airport pickup which they had been paid over €300 for the transfer.
This company is nothing more than a money making and will try and make money out of you in anyway

Villa location is amazing. Walking distance to beach, supermarket and restaurants. 16 in our group never felt cramped. Villa is advertised. Property group were brilliant to communicate with. We used their transfer service which was brilliant. All their staff from the Admin, pool men, cleaners, bus drivers were really friendly.
The area is really quite and we had a wonderful holiday. I would highly rate this property. Paul Butler, Ireland

We stayed as a group of 15 friends June 2023. The Villa was perfect for everything we needed. The neighbourhood was quiet with a supermarket and restaurants nearby. The beach was a 4 minute walk away with some great restaurants. The villa itself was very spacious and we all had a wonderful break. Communication with Olivia has been exceptional throughout the booking process.

For a family of 16, this house was perfect. Lots of rooms if you needed some alone time. We didn't feel crowded at all. The location was excellent for getting to the beach or grocery store or restaurants. The pool and ping pong table got lots of use!

This villa was the perfect location for our family celebration.!! After some hesitation to travel during this covid-crazy- time, we were very glad we did. This Villa provided the perfect retreat for all of us.
The house could not be in a better location. At the end of a quite cul de sac, peaceful at night, but yet a 4 minute walk to the beach, a 5 minute walk to an Apolonia supermarket which has everything you could possibly need, and short walks to many amazing restaurants and cafes. A quick 15 min taxi to Albuferia and a 30 minute taxi to Portimao if you want to visit the caves or fish, which we did.
The house is just as advertised, large enough for everyone to have their own space and yet great " hang-out" areas.
Online communications before we arrived were very professional and helpful. We availed of the transportation through the onsite team and we would highly recommend this for both ease of travel and cost. We had NO issues with this home. It is clean and very safe and nestled away from the hustle.

Due to covid we were unsure if this holiday would go ahead but we decided to go! The villa is amazing with everything you need. very spacious, and the pool area very clean. The kids loved. It was perfectly located with just a short walk to the beach and apolonia supermarket. We had an excellent break and would definitely return to Albufera.

We had an amazing stay in Villa Morais with 16 persons in total, 6 kids and 10 adults. The premises was ideal with the swimming pool and huge space. We mainly used the main floor, but having the kitchen in the basement was super for storing all the food as well as the fridge in the main floor. The pool table downstairs was a big success for the kids and the adults. Thank you very much for making our holiday perfect!

Had a great break with villa big enough for 3 families.
Several lovely beaches all in walking distance, all very chilled and relaxed.
Beautiful coast walks if you want to explore,
Beach bars were great for watching the sunsets with a cocktail in hand.
Waves not great for surfing though so have to drive an hour for better waves.
Supermarket very close but is very expensive (x3 as much) , ALDI is a mile away so use Uber to book yourself a taxi for your big shop
Air-con in the villa was great during the hot nights.
I thought pool would be small but actually was perfect for cooling off and for the kids.
Communication with the property manager/team was good.
Only comment was I ended up with 4-5 different peoples names and numbers so not sure who to go to with what, but all very friendly and helpful.
Using property company for airport transfer also worked well with reasonable €200 charge for the 12 of us.
Would stay again, what more can I say!

We were a family group of 15 - there was plenty of room for us all - having a 2nd kitchen was a nice extra as we cooked every night and ate on the long outside table. The pool area was lovely with plenty of beds for us all. It was great to have somebody to contact easily if there had been a problem. We had lots of fun with the pool table. The are is quiet but we found a couple of local bars to hang out after dinner for cocktails and drinks. Lovely beach - sea cold but you've got to expect that in Portugal. We got taxis into Albuferia. We paid for the company to pick us up at the airport and drop us off there again - it was well worth it

What a villa! This is almost perfect and we have already booked for next year!The villa exceeded our expectations. The accommodation it is extremely spacious and the added bonus of the lower level being self contained was great. The location is quiet and a short walk to Gale beach - with a decent pool that was the centre of our stay. What a place to relax and have fun !

A lovely villa in a great location. Our late family covering there generations had a holiday to remember and we will return!
