We rented this villa knowing it was somewhat close to the beach. However the quiet neighborhood of this small village gets us thinking about a return visit. It is as advertised...within walking distance of beach, bars and restaurants. Food variety was great and many places to select. After time at the beach it was so nice to “come home” to a private place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine poolside. One week was not enough. Language barrier was never an issue. Our Portuguese was marginal, but so much English is common in shops, the beach and eateries. The villagers are friendly and helpful.

This was our second visit to this lovely villa. This time friends came with us and were blown away by the Eastern Algarve, having only stayed around the Vilamoura area previously. Manta Rota beach is unbelievable and is just a short walk away. Local restaurants in Manta Rota and Vila Nova de Cacela serve excellent, traditional food at very reasonable prices. For golfers it could not be a better location with a variety of fantastic courses within easy reach. We wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.

This place is idyllic. We have stayed in this area for the last ten years or so, and this was the best yet. Perfect location, particularly for golfers. We have played around Vilamoura, but the courses that you are central to here we think are far more beautiful and, in some cases, more testing: Quinta do Val, Castro Marim, Benamor, Quinta da Ria etc. etc. Local restaurants serve delicious Portuguese food - particularly try "O Pedro's" and "Sabinos" a short walk away in Vila Nova de Cacela - definitely our preferred eateries. The accommodation is wonderful - well equipped, peaceful and well maintained. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough. A fantastic location for golfers and non-golfers alike. Right near the beautiful town of Tavira and a very short walk to the most beautiful Manta Rota beach - simply wonderful. We're definitely going back next year - could not fault it.
