From start to finish excellent communications with Ken, manager and then with Nuno, owner, whilst at the villa. The villa was as described but exceeded our expectations equipped with more than everything you could ever need, daily maid/housekeeper keeping everything clean and tidy, (very discreetly) change of towels and bedding half way through the week. Plenty of space to spread out (our party of 7) fence erected around pool for our toddler. Plenty of seating, loungers, eating areas, BBQ. Situated just outside of Albufeira which we were glad of, very peaceful and quiet. Nowhere to eat/drink nearby except roadside bar/cafe about 5-10 mins walk away. Car definitely needed

Superb vacation in magnificent villa. Great contact with the owner and manager. I'll recommend it everybody, who would like to spend fabuolus time in Algarve.

Stunning Villa in a great location. As previous reviews have said communication both in the UK and when we arrived was spot on. We had a fantastic family holiday and will definitely return in the future.

Just a beautiful property, we had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to go back. everything you could ask for was supplied, clean and more than spacious. Thank you.

Great villa, lovely pool and fantastic communication both in the UK and in Portugal. 5 minutes into Albufeira and 10 into Vilamoura so ideally placed for both. Cleaning service impeccable, with her coming 3 times a week. Would 100% recommend and will look to book in the future when we decide on dates. Cannot speak highly enough.

The villa has everything that you need, and more. Very well equipped, plenty of everything. Ideal central location to visit other areas of the Algarve, very peaceful, yet only a 5 minute drive into Albufeira. Lots of places to eat in Albufeira and surrounding area. UK based property manager very proactive and helpful. Local managers extremely welcoming, showed us around and happy to take calls about anything. Solved our 2 queries very efficiently. Would definitely recommend, likely to go back again.

We were welcomed by the owner who efficiently showed us all we needed to know for a relaxing holiday. The villa is very well equipped with everything you'd need for a family holiday. Clean as a pin, all the rooms were spacious, beautifully appointed with tasteful interiors throughout. We stayed on the private top floor bedroom with a superb terrace with views across the country, and our three boys enjoyed a room each, one en suite, and then two rooms shared a bathroom. Two of these rooms open onto the garden and pool terrace which was absolutely lovely. The pool is large. tended to weekly and surrounded by a substantial terrace. The garden is a real oasis of green especially during the hot weather. We enjoyed the barbecue and table tennis often throughout our holiday and the regular replacement of towels (including bathing towels) and bed linen was such a treat. The owners were absolutely lovely, really helpful when required on lots of things such as restaurant recommendations and beaches to visit, the wifi, tv and airconditioning worked brilliantly (something we have struggled with in other overseas holiday locations) and we really enjoyed the privacy of the villa and its location. It's not often you have a villa that is not overlooked. We truly had one of the best holidays we have ever had as a family. With three teenage boys, we need space and it was always a pleasure to return after a day at the beach to such a glorious setting and the cool marble of the ground floor. We cannot recommend Villa El-Garbe and it's lovely owners highly enough.
