Beautiful villa in a relatively quiet part of the Algarve. I stayed with my extended family including five adults and three children (age 4, 3 and 8months) and with two cars. The bedrooms are clustered together, each with a terrace and chairs and all en-suite (one shower over the bath and four walk-in showers). Comfortable beds. The kitchen is brilliantly equipped, there were two dining tables that could seat us all (one inside and one out). Loads of parking and secured behind a gate, felt very secure with the shutters both at night and when out. The pool was incredible - we paid to have it heated and swam at least once a day. Erwan (the host) was extremely helpful and responded quickly to every question. My only constructive suggestion is to replace some of the towels, but an extremely minor point. Beaches we enjoyed: Salema (visit at low tide and climb up some rocks to see dinosaur footprints), praia de Carvalho (gorgeous bay, requires a climb down steps but we managed with the children), Carvoeiro (busy but you can park near the school for a great playground and then walk down to the beach with bars/restaurants right behind it).Food we enjoyed: takeaway pizza from L’Oasis pizzeria, lunch at Levels Carvoeiro.Longer trips: (one hour drive) 1) praia de Casteljo on the west coast, or 2) Sagres lighthouse and fort, with Martinhal beach as an option. Eat at The Hangout or the Laundry with Alice Gelato after.Overall I’d thoroughly recommend.
