Agree with previous review from Ian S. Little things here and there would make it perfect. Pool was great, kitchen,bathroom and bedrooms were all good. Joao the host was nice and responded to messages. Villa and pool were both cleaned weekly. Maybe update photos as they don't show sunloungers,there is 8 of them. If a family staying the T V is quite small, again not the same one in photo, so not ideal for a family to watch. No aircon but did have desk fans. Villa is about 45 minute walk into the town. We really liked the town. Weather was great so a nice walk for us but you are walking uphill on way back so maybe not suit all. As i said overall it was good and we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Such a shame ,this property could be so much better with a little TLC,or just a lick of paint and minimal maintenance externally. Internally quite nice with adequate amenities. Little disappointed on arrival,as an early arrival had been agreed ,but cleaning and prep was still growing on,although we were actually later than agreed. Overall you get what you pay for,so would recommend for family on a budget not requiring 4 star accommodation.

Fantastic place for all families

The owners are brilliant and help with everything

We loved the villa and its location and have booked next years already

As in every situation there's always the positive notes and the negative notes. Let's start wit the positive ones: The location is quite good on a calm neighborhood but still close to the beach and town. Swimming pool is big enough and works well for both for adults and children. On the downside: Very poor maintenance of the property: * Children's park slide can't be used as it is very rusty and with open holes at the top. * Tennis court needing a new painting, ground adjustments, new net, etc * Kitchen furniture with closet doors not closing properly * Water isolation on the shower areas wasn't been replaced in ages and we were asked to be careful when taking shower to avoid floods. * Shower heads very old and falling from their support * Dish washer and laundry machine colliding (not joking) while working. * Tiles of the swimming pool falling off. * Furniture was old but that wasn't the problem. It just looked to be brought from a house where it wasn't wanted anymore. Instead of recycling it, hosts decided to use it on this property just for the checklist. * TV was from the 80's/90's. A flat TV is so cheap these days. It is more acceptable not having one. * Garage was dirty and packed with garbage. If I could sum it up, what strikes me most is the clear lack of from the hosts on ensuring a good experience to their guests. And this is seen on the lack of maintenance described above but also on some attitudes along the week. - Asking us to take care on the shower to avoid water leakage? (that is just a matter of maintenance, not a guests' concern) - We run out of gas (for cooking and showers) one night. We call them and they came shortly to realize that, while they had 4 tanks in place, 3 of them were empty and the 4th had little. Suggestion from them: "take a cold shower, it is ok." Yes, it could be, but you don't propose that to guests. - When checking out at 11AM nobody has shown up and I had to call them. They asked to leave the key inside because they didn't have time. - Clearly the hosts only care about getting the money and do the bare minimum to have the house "usable". There would more to say, but will finish with a couple of recommendations to the property hosts: * Guests are looking for a good and relaxed experience more than a house with a roof. Provide them that. Be attentive. * Do proper maintenance * Refresh the house equipment, decoration and furniture. You don't need such a big investment to improve it a lot.

The villa offered a fantastic view, is spacious and very clean. The pool is fantastic for young families . The owners are easily accessible through João and are more than accommodating when required. Highly recommend this property for any family holiday -

The villa is about 45 mins from Faro Airport. The villa is down an unnamed street...which wasn't easy to find in the dark....but the owners went out of their way to meet us at the intermarche and we followed them in the hire car. The villa was lovely. Very spacious and clean and all amenities were available. The pool is a good size. There was 8 of us....4 adults, 3 teenagers and a 9 year old. We stayed around the villa most days, playing in the pool and the odd games of tennis. The nearest beach is about a 15 min walk. Lovely sandy beaches which were popular. The local town is a 20 min walk. There are lively bars, shops and entertainment every night. We very much enjoyed the Saloon Bar. ...had karaoke some nights, which was fun. A taxi home was about 8 euros. It's an uphill walk home, so after a few drinks, a taxi was the best shot...but it's best to try and remember your way home so you can direct the taxi, as there is no street name. We visited the Slide and splash water park....only ten mins in the car....we got tickets from the town. That was a good day out. There is an intermarche about 10 mins in the car, and some other supermarkets around the area. We cooked most nights so we used the oven and the barbeque a fair bit. The owners were brilliant. Great with communicating via email before we arrived and were always available should any issues arise. We had clean towels and sheets as required and towels in their plenty. We used the washing machine, which was handy too. Susanna even brought us WiFi!!!! The teenagers were most thankful!! Thank you so much to joana and Susanna for the use of their villa and for making our stay so pleasant. We will be booking again in the near future. Was the perfect holiday!
