My stay
Going location. But no shopping or restaurants nearby in walking distance. You definitely need a car if you want to stay here.
No air conditioner in living room and it gets quite hot.
Please take the minimum necessary things like milk, coffee, tea etc. as nothing is provided except one toilet roll in each toilet.
Pool is good and nice fresh fruit in the garden.

Great stay fantastic location near to everything but just far enough away.
we had a great time at Villa Gabrielle, lots of space well equipped nice quiet and safe feeling neighbourhood, short uber ride into old town handy for shops, The villa itself is very spacious clean and tidy with plenty of outside space with well kept garden and pool why would you stay in a cramped hotel when you can have all of this. only regret not staying for longer.

Fantastic!
We stayed at villa Gabriella for 10 days and had a fantastic time. The house was beautiful. The pool was fantastic. We hired cars and were able to visit all the local beaches and restaurants. The villa is in a quiet residential area and very private. The owner Elizabeth was very helpful with all enquiries. I hope to visit again next year.

Relaxing holiday in a beautiful villa - home from home
We have just returned from a fantastic 2 week stay in Villa Gabriela. This is a very spacious villa, clean and freshly painted. The outdoor space is huge and there are plenty of sunbeds and room around the pool to relax. They two main bedrooms are on the same level as the pool which we found really useful and the views from all levels of the villa are outstanding. The villa is built within a friendly and safe community but backs onto fields so feels very private. There is a lovely balcony we used frequently for eating breakfast or having a drink as the sun set. The villa has everything you would possibly need for a home from home holiday. The outdoor kitchen is really useful if you choose to have meals within the villa. It also has a washing machine and plenty of drying space.
We hired a car for our stay but you can walk to a small town called Pateo within 15min. We frequently stopped at a lovely cafe that had the most delicious coffee and pastries, very cheap too. The other side of the cafe had fantastic views of the marina and Old Town. We even walked into Old Town on numerous occasions which is about another 15min walk from Pateo and caught taxis back which are fairly cheap. Great choice of restaurants and atmosphere in Old Town - if you like Italian we recommend Riccados which is near the sea front.
We had six people staying at the villa and there was more than enough room to avoid that feeling of falling over each other's feet that we have experienced in other properties - you will not feel cramped at this villa, even around the pool. There is also plenty of shade and the air conditioning is very good. The pool and gardens were cleaned twice during our stay. Beds and towels were changed half way through.
Would we return? Absolutely! Portugal was stunning and staying here made it even more worthwhile. Thank you!

Tolles Haus in schöner Lage, aber ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen
Das Haus selbst ist wunderbar: groß, hell, ruhig gelegen. Pool und Garten waren gepflegt, der Hauptteil des Hauses auch. Die Betten waren alle gut.
Allerdings ist das Mobiliar ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen (80er?). Die Ausstattung der Küche mit Kochutensilien ist schlecht. Die Pool-Liegen waren teilweise beschädigt, und es fehlten die Auflagen bzw. diese waren verdreckt. Es gab Keine Sonnenschirme wie auf den Fotos. Aussenküche und Gartenschuppen waren sehr schmuddelig, wir haben die Sachen deshalb nicht benutzen wollen.
Somit der Sterneabzug!

Mooie foto’s
De foto’s zien er mooier uit dan de werkelijkheid, erg slecht onderhouden! 2 badkamers, waarvan er 1 het niet doet! Bed op bovenverdieping is echt te klein en kraakt enorm, wij waren daar met 2 ouders en 4 kinderen tussen 13 jaar en 19 jaar, je pas dan niet in dat bed, ze hebben op 2 zonnebedjes met matras erop geslapen! Voor de rest is het huis en tuin aan goed schoonmaakwerk toe!
