A fantastic holiday in a superb family villa. From the outset of our first enquiry, communication with Claudia, the host, was spot-on. Any queries we had were always answered promptly & thoroughly. There were 7 of us staying here, 6 adults & our 18 month old granddaughter. The villa itself is incredibly spacious, with a beautiful pool & lovely secure outdoor area. The pool table was used daily & is a great asset for when you want to perhaps have a chill day at the villa! The interior of the villa is very nice & plenty of room for all, air conditioning in the bedrooms and slatted, lockable outside shutters on the windows, plus sliding windows. The beds, for us, were exceptionally hard which none of us particularly liked, but beds/mattresses are a personal preference! Lovely balconies upstairs from the bedrooms. Plenty of supermarkets nearby and further afield if you want to drive. The nearest beach is about a 20 minute walk (Santa Eulalia), beautiful & good for families, however there are steps to negotiate. The sea is lovely & clear, if it’s not windy, the sea is great for all, but be mindful if the wind is up as obviously the waves can be quite big! There are snack bars & a couple of restaurants on the beach. We ate a couple of times at the villa & a few times at a lovely restaurant called Portobello, about 25 mins walk. The Old Town & Marina is great for some touristy stuff & The ‘Strip’ (lively at night!). A fabulous holiday; we loved Albufeira! Thank you!

Villa Dionisio is a lovely home with spacious rooms and a great swimming pool. The kitchen is large and the dining room is nice. Picking fresh lemons from the tree on the grounds is a treat! The Villa is situated on a hill with a curved driveway. There are two large metal gates that must be unlocked, propped open and then closed and relooked every time you go in and out. We rented a car which was challenging but worthwhile. I would recommend taking a taxi to the Old City as the streets are narrow with many parked cars. There is a large two story grocery store that is 8 minutes by car - again you could choose a taxi. Unfortunately our stay was interrupted by ants in the house and especially the kitchen. We could not leave out any food and it impacted on our holiday. The owners tried many products and offered many suggestions and techniques. However, it was still an issue when we left. The owners are very kind, polite and genuinely want to help you. Once the ant issue is resolved - then this villa will be a marvellous family vacation.

Lovely villa, clean and well equipped. We hope to come again. Good location with restaurants, bars and beaches within 20-30 minutes walk. May be difficult with young children or the less mobile although local taxis are not expensive. The property manager was very helpful. Feedback for possible improvement: - mattress toppers for those who struggle with the very firm mattress - some extra pillows of varying softness - comfortable outdoor seating for evening or shade in the day (ie outdoor sofas and armchairs) - better outdoor lighting by the pool to make the most of the area in the evening This is a lovely villa and we really enjoyed our stay.

All of us loved our stay at this property. Change of towels midweek was just right. Quite area was perfect for us in a safe area. Swimming pool was great and plenty of room for our 8 person stay. Will be booking again next year

The villa was beautiful and looked just like the photos. Plenty of spaces to gather as a family but also space out when needed. We went as a family of four and the villa had everything we needed for our stay, spacious rooms, ensuite bedrooms and large living spaces - not that you'll be inside much. The pool table is a welcome reprieve from the sun. There is no need to leave the villa with a local Spar at the bottom of the hill although if you want to venture into the main resorts of Albufeira or Vilamoura it is useful to either budget for a taxi or rent a car. Takes about 10mins to Albufeira and 20/25 mins to Vilamoura. All in all a lovely stay.

Lovely Villa, lots of space. Pool was a godsend, as was the AC. Claudia was wonderful in making sure check in was seamless. Communication was top. If you are staying here, use Uber rather than the local taxi number. (Up to an hour wait for a taxi)

We stayed for 10 nights in August and the Villa is beautiful. It was spotlessly clean and so much room for the 4 adults and 2 kids. The pool was big and more than enough sun loungers, the pool table got plenty of use too. Each room had air conditioning and was nicely furnished (beds were a little hard but difficult to please everyone). Location is excellent for both shops, bars & restaurants and the local beach. Driving is easy but we used Uber a few times as well. The hosts were excellent and we communicated before and during our stay. We would highly recommend and we look forward to staying again

Isabels Villa what a lovely villa ,the outside area especially. The inside of the villa Had lots of room. The furnishings were slightly dated but that did not really affect our holiday. The main Villa does not have air-conditioning only in the bedrooms. It’s about a five minute walk to the closest shop and definitely a taxi ride to the closest bars and restaurants. Overall we had a lovely stay very relaxing and just what the doctor ordered.

Close to shops but a little bit of a walk 15 mins to nearest restaurant and 25 minutes to nearest strip. Overall very good property and wonderful facilities, pool table and pool. Owner was fabulous and addressed an issue raised within a day. Very pleasant and responsive. A joy to stay there.

Claudia was an excellent host making our holiday one we will always remember, she went above our expectations and the villa was amazing can’t rate our holiday high enough

We’ve just returned from a 10 day stay at this gorgeous villa and would definitely recommend it! The villa itself is not only very spacious and well equipped with everything you need, the grounds are beautiful. The location is perfect - a lovely quiet neighbourhood and a short walk from restaurants and a Spar. A larger supermarket is about a 30 minute walk away which we went to and then got an Uber back with all the shopping for the week! Claudia was exceptional in her prompt communication answering all our questions and arranging our airport transfers! I highly recommend this villa to anyone wanting to stay in the Algarve and should we return to this area in the future, we will be sure to stay here again! Thank you for having us!

The property is much bigger than we had anticipated from the photos and all the rooms are large, spacious, and look like they have been only recently renovated as everything looked brand new still. The location is great and about 10-15 walk down to the local beach. We hired cars but a taxi into the main part of albuferia would be 10 minutes and cost about 5 euros. There was 4 adults ans 2 children and the villa was perfect for our needs, the pool was fantastic and all the amenities were ideal for the children. Claudia was helpful in advance of the visit and meet us late at the villa on day of arrival to undertake a full tour of the property. Would definitely recommend and would love to come and stay again! Thank you

Lovely villa with a gorgeous garden and pool This was perfect for a family stay Thank you Cláudia

The other reviews say it all. You've seen the photos but never quite expect it to be so good. Well the photos do not do this property justice. I was taken aback by the beauty of the villa and its grounds. Inside was more than spacious and so well equipped, there was nothing you could want for. The location was in a quiet neighbourhood so peaceful and tranquil. We were a family of seven ranging from 16 months to 70 years of age. We spent time at the villa and in the pool. The beach was not too far away, a little uphill on the way back but perfectly achievable for someone with reasonable fitness levels. There was a local shop but a large supermarket not too far away. Numerous restaurants were within a 30 minute walking distance. If preferring to go by taxi / Uber they were very cheap. We travelled into the main town and the old town by taxi/Uber - this was too far to walk! Claudia was fantastic in the speed of response to correspondence and arranging airport transfers. We didn't want to leave. This villa would be our first choice should we return to this area.

Our family of 4 really enjoyed staying at this spacious, well equipped and expertly designed property. We often swam with the children in the swimming pool and then relaxed on the sun loungers which were perfectly placed out of the direct sun. We visited some lovely restaurants in the evening which were only a short walk away from the villa. There is also a Spar shop close by. Claudia was very friendly and helpful in answering all my many questions leading up to the holiday. I would highly recommend this wonderful villa!

We stayed late August 2020 as a family with two adults and four children (coronavirus travel restrictions had just been lifted in the UK). First of all, the security of the villa is brilliant with a gated entrance and locks and shutters on all windows and doors. We felt safe here with the children at all times which is really important for us. The outdoor space is lovely, we spent most of our time outside whilst the children played in the pool. Lots of sun loungers and outdoor seating, my husband likes the shade and the pergola was great for him to sit under but still be close to the pool area. To the back of the villa there is a shaded BBQ area that leads out from the kitchen. We really liked this area to enjoy our food outdoors. Inside the villa was very clean and tidy. Every room was tastefully decorated and the kitchen has all the equipment that you should need during your stay. Comfy beds in the rooms we used.Our flight arrived 10:30pm on a Sunday night and at our request the villa owner had done a small supermarket shop for us for €40 with all of the essentials that we would need for the next day. We thought this was a nice touch and definitely helped us out. We rented a car and it was a short drive to beaches, restaurants and bars. Excellent customer service from the villa owners and were very helpful and responsive when I needed help with something. This villa was enjoyed by all of the family and we would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful 7 day holiday. This villa is amazing. It is very clean and well equipped . Our party consisted of 6 adults and an energetic 5 year old and we just loved the amount of space both inside and out . Lots of space to play and there are a number of social sitting and eating areas but also smaller areas either in sun or shade to escape to with a book !! The fact that it was walled and gated adds to both privacy and security. The recommended taxi service was cheap and reliable . We went by taxi to do a large shop in town and then supplemented with day to day purchases from small supermarket just 200/250m from the villa which was not too expensive . Bus service from Faro to Albufeira and a sightseeing open top bus passes by the main road just 200/250 m away . The beautiful beach is definitely walkable but a little hilly on the way back for those less fit amongst us ! If we were to come again and stay longer we would definitely consider hiring a car and exploring the area more but to be honest this time we had such a great time around the villa, in the pool and relaxing in the sun that we didn't regret not doing so . Lorraine was such a great support answering all our enquiries and making arrangements . Isabel was delightful , returning the full deposit without any hassle .We would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing holiday. Close enough to the bars and restaurants of the town to access them when desired but far enough out of town not to be disturbed by them .

We have recently returned from a one weeks stay at this fantastic villa.The villa was stunning and absolutely spotless the pictures are very accurate and don't actually do the villa justice. I had some concerns about booking and many , many questions and requests for information all of which were dealt with by Lorraine and her team with complete professionalism and courtesy at all times.The location is very convenient , I was a little concerned about this but we managed a walk to the beach and local supermarket with our 4 year old ok and both were within a 15 -20 min walk.A car would be handy but likely to be quite expensive if the villa is at full capacity and you are hiring a vehicle for 8. Taxi service was reliable and fairly cheap but does add up if venturing out daily. I'd recommend a big Lidl or Aldi shop with lots of bits for the bbq so that valuable relaxing time is not spent over a stove.There was plenty of space outside for the kids to play games and run around when not in the pool. Just a little info on the pool, it slopes from shallow to deep quite quickly and whilst not heated was not too cold.Just one comment / suggestion whilst a welcome pack is available on request I feel that it would be a nice touch to at least provide some water for guests in the fridge on arrival. Assuming that most travellers are arriving with children it saves having to worry about rushing out to get the basics. All other places that I have rented have provided at least some basics as a matter of course. I'm not one to return to the same place but will most definitely welcome the opportunity to stay here again.

Just have to say on behalf of our family holiday this year (6 adults, 2 children), yet another great relaxing most enjoyable 2 week break. The owners are fantastic, friendly people and very approachable. The villa is excellent, just everything you ever need. People are all lovely and welcoming and of course we intend to go back next year too!!! The Gordon Family xxx
