All went fine but one thing negative: the noise of the road...

The villa was lovely and the pool clean. On check out, Manuel found us another villa for the afternoon until our flight later in the day. This was much appreciated.

We had a brilliant time at Villa Manuel this spring. The villa was everything we hoped it would be, clean, contemporary and comfortable. The pool was fantastic and heated (as requested) so great for our 1 year old to swim in every day. The location of the villa is fantastic. 5 minute walk to the beach, excellent restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Our contact during the stay, Manuel, was incredibly helpful, friendly and if we needed anything he was so quick to be in touch with us. The transfer company (to and from the airport) were also excellent, on time, lovely vehicles and friendly drivers. We'd definitely stay here again! Thanks to all for a wonderful family holiday.

On arrival we were greeted to the villa by our very courteous, helpful and friendly host Manuel. The villa was approx. a 45 minute drive from Faro Airport and we had hired 2 cars for our stay. (4 adults and 3 kids) Soon after arriving we realised we most definitely did not need 2 cars. Everything is so close to the villa, even having small kids age 6, 4 and 6 months, with their small little steps and pushing a buggy we could walk to the beach in 10 minutes ( a lot less for an adult on their own) There was a mini market directly across the road and a number of larger supermarkets very close by. You could stay in this villa without any car as a taxi to Albuferia for example was approx. €13. There was a company right across the road organising trips to zoomarine and aqua parks etc so while you do have a little more freedom with a car I don't think you would spend the car hire price on buses taxis etc. The beach in Gale is beautiful and has some wonderful resteraunts. You can walk all along the beach to the neighbouring town or use the boardwalk for part of the journey. It is about a 9.5k round trip best done in the morning or evening before the real heat kicks in!! We would definitely return to stay in this area and would love to come back to stay in Villa Manuel.

We stayed as a young group of 8 for 1 week. We really loved the villa! It had everything we needed to chill out (including a PS3 for some Fifa Tournament evenings). The beach is just a few minutes away and so are some very nice restaurants to eat at in the evenings. Upon arrival at the villa Manuel met us to give us the keys. He was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We loved the fact that there were 2 BBQ's to choose from (one for gas, one for coal) and there was a gas tank already there so we could start BBQing straight away. We would gladly stay again if we're back in the area some day. Thanks again!

Perfect hoilday villa with all the amenities that you require easy walk to beach and supermarket plus mini market and restruarant across the road. Villa management is first class always available to ensure you have everything you need.
