We couldn't have asked for much more, villa was amazing and great for our group (16). Location is ideal and we really enjoyed our stay. Jim was very helpful throughout and would recommend...

Absolutely beautiful property! So much space & gorgeous outside area. Was spotlessly clean as were the pools. Had an issue with the pools not being heated but Jim refunded what we paid for that straight away. Shops & restaurants within walking distance.

We stayed at Quinta Ottilie for a large family gathering and left with wonderful memories. There were large spaces for gathering and the bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. It is always difficult finding a place that can fit our group (20+ ppl from ages 2-82) and meet everyone’s needs - overall we were happy with our stay. Two considerations for future guests… first, there is a similar sized home right next door. Our next door neighbors were celebrating a bachelorette getaway and were quite loud getting home from the bars at 3am - no fault of Quinta Ottilie but worth being aware of. The second consideration is that the kitchen is quite minimally outfitted. If you plan to cook meals for your group here it may require creativity. Not huge considerations for our group but perhaps helpful for some. Overall our stay was easy, comfortable, and we would do it again.

Great villa, jim was easily contacted when we had issue with alarm. Great location. Thanks jim , we will be back

Property was very well appointed with plenty of rooms and bathrooms as per listing so suited the flexibility of our large group well. The bathrooms steamed up really easily and just didn't clear, as no extractors. No other mirrors in any of the bedrooms so made getting ready very challenging for all. (Full-length would have been great!) Additional towels would have been useful as one small towel plus hand towel, per person for a week was quite challenging when there was no way to dry them. It was a shame no pool towels were available. If in doubt - I'd advise you to take plenty of your own. It was a disappointing that a christmas tree could not be sourced, despite plenty of advance notice and requests. We have travelled the world for xmas over the last 20 years to many different countries and continents and this is the first year we have not had had a tree provided by the host. Large living area was quite sparse, lacking soft decor, fake plants, rugs etc, - for a winter rental when this inside space is used more, it just felt sterile, and lacking atmosphere. No wood was available for the stove, but luckily we managed to source locally, and it provided some good heat. There were a few initial issues when we first arrived but the host was amazingly responsive and had his maintenance team straight out to resolve. We used a couple of the caterers recommended by the host that had serviced the property previously. We can HIGHLY recommend Chef Affairs. Thank you.

24 of us came to this villa for my 30th birthday. The communication with the owner was amazing, villa was the perfect location with shops and cafes near by. The villas amenities were next level i would return

We had the most amazing week celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary with family and friends, there were 26 of us in total and the villa was big enough so we weren’t on top of one another. Good communication with the host and any problems were soon rectified. Close to the beach and restaurants, all of us enjoyed the pool. Villa A bit tired in places but understandable as it’s the end of your season, didn’t stop us having the best time, thank you

Stayed for a stag do. There was 18 of us, the villa was great. Nice location (a bit out of the main part but Ubers are cheap and readily available) and the pool area made a great hub for us during the day.

Twenty-two of us had plenty of room and a great time at this villa. Unfortunately the heater in the pool broke on our second day and the water was COLD, but we still had a lot of fun. It’s handy to everything and our host Jim always quickly responded to our questions and needs. We’d definitely go back!

Recently stayed at this villa with 22 males on a stag do. Villa is excellent, modern with plenty of room, plenty of bathrooms for 22 males. Two pools which are large enough and Jim kindly heated one for us. Plenty of suns beds for everyone. The villa is located about 5 minutes from the new town strip in a car and about 10 minutes from the old town. We got Ubers everywhere as cheap enough. Jim was excellent from start to finish and always replied straight away. We would definitely stay here again.

This villa was perfect for our group of 24 people - plenty of space for everyone, all the rooms were perfect and the place was clean. Contact with the host was so easy and he always replied quickly to help us out. Shops / cafes and beaches are really close and super easy to uber places too. Thank you :)

Rude and uncommunicative host, threatened to cancel our booking just beacuse I complained about not being able to get in the villa at the time which he listed, there were 24 of us on that Saturday with no where to go. Pool filthy, sun loungers filthy, pool filters filthy. Not enough outside chairs for us and some were broken. Decking around pool had lifted and is a trip hazard. Upstairs shower flooded and unusable, bathroom sinks drained very slowly, no plumber was offered. Only bath had no plug so not useable, vital with very young children. Basement very musty and the smell got into peoples clothes, also one of the bathrooms had no hot water. No plumber was offered. Email sent to host Jim and Columbia villas who he works for whilst were on our “so called holiday” - I’m still after being back over a week waiting to hear back………Vrbo have been next to useless and their customer support is shocking - The client is just a money making machine to them. I have pictures, videos and WhatsApp messages to support my complaint and I’m very happy to share should anyone want to see the state of the villa they are renting.

We were a family of 22 and had the best time celebrating my 60 birthday. All arrangements went smoothly and jim and the team were most accommodating of us. Really good location. Loved everything and have no complaints

Brilliant stay a couple of minor problems which were rectified immediately

Lovely villa well placed between Santa Eulalia and Olhos de Agua. We were a family of 25 with children aged 2-12 plus adults. We loved the villa although did feel it needs a bit of TLC here and there. Jim was amazing especially as our flights were cancelled 8weeks before our holiday and we needed to go a day earlier than planned. Miguel helped with anything we needed and arranged transport to waterpark. We also arranged for Liza to come and cook for us one night and it was superb. A great holiday which we all thoroughly enjoyed

The villa is beautiful and very spacious. We had plenty of room for all the guests. We were all comfortable. The location is ideal, very close to sueprmarkets, restuarants and the city centre. We will also travelled to Vilamoura and it cost only 12 euros by Bolt. We were allowed to drop off our bags early at the property , which was very nice. Jim communicated with us very well prior to our stay. We had a misunderstanding about our check out time, as it says by 11am on VRBO. So some of our guests were still at the property when the cleaners arrived. However, a compromise was reached and the guests were given time to leave the property. I would highly recommend the villa.

Amazing villa everything worked perfectly. Amazing communication! Will definitely visit again

Fantastic stay with a massive group of us! Loved every minute of it! 100% quick and efficient communication from jim the owner. Already looking to book again for next year :) Villa was spotless and in perfect location with Uber taxis only 3/4 euro to the strip and old town

The property was clean and in a good location. The staff we excellent and communicated with us very well and provided us with an earlier check in and later check out to suit our needs. The villa is superb. Excellent stay.

One of the nicest places I've ever stayed in. Jim was very quick to reply if I had a question and helped out a lot. Supermarket and restaurants on the same road if you needed somewhere to eat and a very quick walk to. Would highly recommend this place to anyone

We had a great time staying at the villa for 3 nights in March. The communication was excellent from Jim on the run up to our stay and the check in process was seamless. Jim recommended a few great suppliers: Miguel and Thiago who sorted taxis throughout our stay. Anita at Sunshine catering who bought some food and drinks ahead of our stay so everything was set for our arrival. I could also recommend the fat pig hog roast company who came in and cooked food for us at the villa. A great villa which came exactly as described and was really spacious and perfect for a group of 30 lads - also in a great location for accessing the strip and old town.

The house was amazing - more bedrooms than we needed, most with en-suite with the others having next door access to bathrooms. The house is large, has everything that you could want or need - including a great games room with pool and table tennis. The booking journey was easy and we had great communication and service from Jim, who arranged taxis for us, and gave all the info needed. Only a short taxi from the main "Strip" in Albufeira, also easy access to Villamoura. Plus there are local bars and restaurants very close by, and a couple of beeches with seafront restaurants approx a 10 min walk away. We would absolutely stay again! We would definitly

Fantastic amount of rooms with a great layout of beds. All but two were ensuite which is ideal as we were a group of all adults. The lounge rooms were large enough for all of us, there was plenty of plates, cups etc. Would have been good to have had plastic glasses for around the pool as we were worried we would break something. Towels were plentiful and beds were all comfy. Would have been good to have some washing up liquid and cloths. We were only there for 3 days so it seemed excessive to buy our own. Some bathrooms did not have handsoap, and again we had to buy full bottles from the local shop, again annoying as we only used a little bit and left the rest. Some pool toys would have been great. The pools were wonderful, and a real treat having two. Plenty of comfortable outside beds. Overall, we all had the best time and would definitely go back.

Really enjoyed the villa and great location!

Comfortable stay and host communication could have been better, with instructions for the alarm etc.

The villa was a perfect size for our party of 21. There was plenty space for all both indoors and out. Externally- The pools provided great entertainment for our party from young to old We had one pool heated which all enjoyed and some enjoyed the chill factor in the other pool. Plenty sun beds, but the cushions on the beds have definitely not been well looked after. There was not enough outdoor dining chairs for all due to previous breakages but this was addressed when we asked. The grounds in general are very well kept. The BBQ area was ideal for what we needed. The bin area could do with much larger bins and better waste segregation given the size of the villa but the bins were emptied regularly. The villa is very secluded even though it’s next to a busy road and we were never bothered by noise. Great location for access to beach, restaurants and supermarkets. Lovely location that suited all. Internally- huge space which allowed all the party to have peace and privacy, when required. All rooms were a super size. Bedrooms were furnished to a basic standard with no luxury factor. The beds, although not the most comfortable, were clean and well prepared. Bathrooms were large, clean and provided what was needed. One recommendation would be to have better lighting in the bathroom and a mirror in the bedroom. Air conditioning was available in all rooms and easy to use. Insect screens on doors and windows was fab - a great idea to have. All the party had a bedroom and a bathroom, which was great. For a party of 21, the kitchen coped well. Each family group were allocated a shelf in a cupboard and a shelf in a fridge. This worked really well with space for all. The fridges were of a great size but due to previous wear and tear, will require door seal replacements as they are deteriorating. Dishwasher and washing machine were a great addition. Both the iron and ironing board need replaced as the iron was broken on arrival and the ironing board unstable. Plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery available for both inside and out. Miguel was super at responding to messages and dealt with any requests promptly. The taxi service offered was super and made life much easier for a big party - lovely, pleasant staff. Overall we had a fabulous time and everyone enjoyed all aspects of the villa. A very chilled experience. Some comments may sound negative but this is purely to inform. The small issues had minimal impact on a fabulous stay.

The villa is huge and easily accommodated our company of 16 people! Great location 10 mins walk to beaches, close to restaurants etc. The whole team thoroughly enjoyed their time here.

Heel erg genoten van het verblijf. Mooie villa met mooie ruime kamers en airco.

Amazing, fantastic! Enjoyed every minute of it!!

Really impressed with our stay, the villa was perfect for 16 guys on a stag! Clean, 5 minute walk from lasagne supermarket, no complaints!
