Espaçosa
Móveis mal conservados
Limpeza péssima, achamos 4 baratas enormes e não nos deram a devida atenção, falavam que era normal naquela época do ano no Algarve e não havia nada a fazer, que tinham feito a detetização recente e não conseguiriam controlar as baratas vindas de fora. Questionei que isso estava estragando nossas férias porque já tínhamos encontrado 4 baratas em 3 noites, sendo uma no meio da madrugada em cima da nossa cama. Mas não nos deram atenção e falaram que somente nossa villa tinha reclamado e que isso era normal naquela época do ano e que infelizmente não havia nada a fazer.
Chagamos e não tinha agua quente, ligamos na recepção falaram que iriam na acomodação e não foram, resolveram só no dia seguinte.

Very comfortable appartment with 2 rooms and with an extra sofa bed perfect for a medium - big family size. Air conditioning in every room and living room. 2 toilets and with small balcony.
It wasn’t enough plates and cutlery. The dishwasher soap or toilet paper was certainly not sufficient for all the days and we brought. From the photo we believed that our appartment had a private swimming pool, that it was not the case.

Had everything we could have needed in the kitchen, linen wise and towels. Was cleaned during our stay with linen and towels being replaced. Had a shared washing machine that was easily accessible. Fantastic privacy even though neighbours close. Amazing to have undercover parking so close to accommodation. Stairs directly up from underground parking to each villa. Beautiful private swimming pool that was cleaned daily. Great garden furniture with dining table outside and another on the balcony
Living room decorated sparsely - no side tables or coffee table and dark heavy curtains with a few things such as outside cushion covers outdoors needing to be replaced. Decor a little depressing. Aircon in main room didn’t work so well but rest of villa was very good.

The location is good, breakfast at the restaurant is good, villas are clean and comfy if only maintenance were better.
Booked and paid ocean view, but looked at a wall of metal sheets from the living area, ocean was only possible form one of the two bedrooms. The images on the website are not showing that correctly. Only 4 of the 10 villas actually have full ocean view.
Whilst the general condition of the villa was fine, Maintenance is really not up to it and many thing need to improve. Not one of the doors withing the villa opened and closed easily, all doors need proper maintenance. Water pressure in the shower was very low and the drainage was half blocked, resulting in water standing in the shower. The wind is howling through the villa day and night, because one window is locked in open position. And so on.....
Management was not helpful at all and refused a change of villa, despite valid complaints and plenty of free villas. We will surely not stay there again.

Everything but felt the staff were rude.
When we checked in I didnt brin
The staff.
On arrival we nearly didnt get let into the room because I didnt bring the card we booked the property on.
It was very stressfull and not enjotable. We paid for the property months in advance but the staff were not happy to let us in until we found picture of the card used to book, this was not stated to us before visiiting.

Just the location .close to everywhere
rooms were small and the entire apartment was smelly.smelt like smelly sewage .we told reception and they said they were sorting this out but next day smell was back again.we were supposed to have our apartment cleaned once because we were there for 5 nights .The day of cleaning no one turned up and we err not told why .we didn’t get any fresh towels and had to buy our own toilet paper as reception refused

Good location, the Guest House really clean and welcoming. Pool area was very nice. Breakfast was exceptional.
The bedrooms need a little updating I.e. curtains and towel rail. Hand rails should be fitted to steps from dining room and bar area down to pool.

Having a private pool was amazing alongside your own space and secure entry.
Rooms were great with comfy beds.
We know the location well and prefer to be out of town so happy with this.
Staff were pleasant and helped overcome any issues we thought we had with late check in and early check out times
The ladder in the pool wasn’t completely secure so felt a bit dodgy.
We were affected by our neighbours who decided their family who were staying in the apartments would congregate at their villa who had only one volume level!!! At one point we had to shout at each other to have a conversation outside and then just left the villa for the day cause it was getting unbearable. For the record - I’m not against fun but when trying to rest - it affects your holiday.
Please update policies on visitors to villas.

The location was amazing, so tranquil and close to a fabulous beach 🏖️.
Check-in was a bit difficult.

The area is a beautiful spot easy access to the beach and nice walk to the marina
Unfortunately at the guest house where we stayed there's only a small pool area which is quite adequate for the 5 rooms but the villas down the road have use to the area as well so when there's a football team come in it's not quite as inviting they should seriously think about that sinareo

The villa was just like the photos. Very spacious with a gorgeous view.
Staff weren’t the friendliest upon arrival. We had 6 hours before we could check in, they didn’t suggest any ideas of what we could do or try to accommodate for us. Once we had spent 4 hours exploring we noticed the communal pool which we had to ask to use which they then said yes that’s fine. The staff were not very informative about the facilities, breakfast and the location. Only bad thing was the staff.

modern villa, well equipped kitchen, nice private pool with sunlight all day
everything was very nice, but perhaps the house was lacking a bit of decoration details to make it more cozy

Great off-season value villa! The shower pressure and water warmth wasn't great, but considering what we paid we were happy with it. Clean and relaxing space.
