We had a wonderful stay at this villa. The home was beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully decorated, with plenty of space for our group to spread out and relax. It was well stocked with everything we needed, and the air conditioning worked great, which was especially appreciated during the warmer days.Mrs. Cristina, the housekeeper, was fantastic. She was warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive to any questions or requests throughout our stay.The location was another highlight. It was peaceful and removed from the busy tourist areas, yet still convenient to the beach and an easy Bolt or Uber ride to Albufeira and other nearby towns.We especially enjoyed the firmer beds upstairs, which made for a great night's sleep. Overall, we would happily stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Algarve.

We have just returned from a weeks stay here and it was perfect. The pictures don’t do this villa justice. Christina couldn’t do enough for us and we would happily return! The restaurant on the beach just a few minutes walk was a hidden gem aswell and we would highly recommend a meal there. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect place for our family

This was a great place for our family to settle in during our time in Algarve. The house is conveniently located near two beaches within walking distance, the Apolonia grocery store, and several restaurants. The house is spacious and has a great outdoor space. Christina answered all of our questions upon arrival and during our stay. We’d stay here again!

Great hanging out by the pool, loved the balconies, the short walk to the nice restaurant/bar on the beach and close to lots of activities. Would definitely stay here again!

The owners were helpful with the planning; and the property was exactly as promised. All requests were accommodated. Prefect location for the beach restaurant, and supermarket a short walk. The supermarket also delivered to the villa ready for our arrival, which meant we could enjoy all aspects of our short break.

We had an amazing stay at this property, honestly the most beautiful and clean villa we have ever stayed in! Easy and efficient check in, nothing was too much, we asked for some essential groceries as we was arriving late and an amazing lady got everything we asked for and more! The pool and garden area was beautiful and the gardeners came twice in our three night stay to make sure everything was clean and tidy. We honestly would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you so much!

50th Celebrations

A perfect property for a girls get-together. 10 mins taxi to Albuferia. 5-10 mins walk to nearest beach. A small quiet area with a few restaurants/ amenities. Lovely clean villa, all the essentials (and more) provided. Cristina kindly got us some essential provisions in, for our late arrival, Andreia became our personal taxi driver (recommended by the villa) and what a great asset she was. A superb villa, highly recommended.

Lovely Villa in Gale

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, modern & well equipped villa and would highlight recommend it. Minutes from the beach, restaurants & a supermarket. Plus lots of tours will pick up for Gale Mar apartments at the roundabout if you don't have a car. Unfortunately the previous occupants absolutely trashed the house, the cleaner worked her absolute hardest & got the house into a great condition considering what it had been left in but the breakages from their stay did impact on ours which is the reason for the 4*.

As a family of 5 we loved our week at the villa. It was well equipped and very comfortable. The location worked well for us. You are less than 5 min walk from the small cove with a seafood restaurant and 10 mins from an 5 mile stretch of golden sand with sunbeds and beach restaurants. We walked to a number of local restaurants in the evening. Olive was our favourite about a 15 min walk. Supermarket is 5 mins away. We hired a car and explored some of the local towns which were ok but nothing special to be honest. Vilamoura was nice though. I would say that a boat ride to the local caves is a must (from Albufeira marina). Overall it was a great place to kick back and relax.

From the point of booking, communication has been excellent! The description of the Villa, the location and local amenities was superb. On arrival Mrs. Cristina helped answer all our questions about the region too. A modern, well appointed villa with superb facilities and fantastic access to different beaches, restaurants and supermarkets. The in house Gym was a massive bonus too! Can’t fault the holiday experience on the whole and wouldn’t think twice about returning. We had 3 children under 13 with us and having your own pool and 3 beaches all within a maximum 8 minute walk of each other was worth its weight in gold! Thank you for an excellent stay in the Algarve!!

My biggest fear when booking a rental house is that the listing is misleading. This is absolutely not the case. This property is GREAT and 100% as advertised. Quiet side street with ample parking, beautifully landscaped yard, pool was perfect. The house was immaculately cleaned. Ms Christina, the groundskeeper, was SOOOOO nice, polite, punctual and knowledgeable. The house was immaculately clean. The beach is a legit 10 min walk and is a beautiful beach with great beach bar and restaurant. If I come back to Albufeira, im booking this property and not wasting my time looking at other ones. Absolutely 10/10 recommend this listing.

Fabulous Villa

The Villa was enormous. Beautifully furnished and well maintained. It was fully equipped with all the cookware items you could think of. Lots of books and games available and of course a gym on the lower level. Exceptionally clean. Air conditioning was excellent and really needed in 38 degree heat. Check-in was smooth and Cristina had our requested groceries ready upon our arrival. The highlight was the lovely pool and spacious outdoor areas for al fresco dining. Was within walking distance to beach, supermarket and several restaurants. Can’t recommend this Villa highly enough and will surely return here in the future. Many thanks to Manuel, Patricia and Cristina. Obrigada

Stunning Villa!!

Stayed at this amazing villa to celebrate our friends birthday. The communication pre check in was outstanding and we were able to get an early check in which was accommodated in a friendly, no hassle way. Cristina was there to greet us with a friendly smile and gave us an informative tour of the villa- the tour did not stop there! We asked we here the nearest shop was and Cristina walked us to the door of the supermarket which was only a 15 minute walk but we would not have known it was there without Cristina’s help. During our stay Cristina helped us with taxi bookings and bringing us an item we did not have- all of which was done with a friendly approach. The Villa itself was immaculate, spacious and had every amenity that you could need. Outstanding Villa and host. Thank you!

Fantastic villa metres away from a beautiful beach with restaurant.

This beautiful modern villa has everything you need. The photos dont do it justice. Very well equipped villa with a lovely thoughtful welcome pack awaiting us. Spotlessly clean. We really enjoyed sitting on the upper balcony in the evenings with a glass of wine listening to the dound of the sea. We arrived earlier than the agreed check in time so Christina allowed us to drop off our luggage and gave us beach towels so we could enjoy the beach while we waited for check in time. We got a call from Christina 2 hours earlier than the agreed check in time to tell us that we could book in then. Fantastic service from all involved. Lots of really nice restaurants within walking distance but we used Uber to travel to furter away places and they were very reasonably priced. I am already looking forward to returning to this fantastic villa next year.
