Great holiday

We had a fantastic holiday. The villa is about 30 minutes from the airport in a great location near the golf courses and 15 minute walk from the beach and restaurants. The villa is very comfortable with the added benefit of Sky Sports so we could watch the golf during the Masters weekend. A great time was had by all. Thanks.

5 star property and host

We have just returned from the most amazing stay at this lovely villa. The host went above and beyond to insure we had the perfect stay, any issues or questions we had were responded to immediately. The villa its self was spacious and clean with a lovely maid that visited daily. The outside area was exceptionally nice with lovely garden furniture which was all clean and well kept. I can assure you if you book this villa you will not be disappointed.

We stayed here for 2 weeks over the summer and had an excellent experience. The host was very responsive, but we found that we didn't need to contact him much after the first day or two because everything went smoothly. The place was clean, modern, well-maintained, and very pleasant.

The perfect stay in Vale Do Lobo

This property is exactly what you see in the photos! It is an immaculate villa, in an ideal location. We walked to the beach most days, as well as golf and the local supermarkets and restaurants. It will be our first choice for our next stay in Vale Do Lobo. Rob was great to deal with in the lead up to our stay, very responsive and gave us lots of information, tips and recommendations. The daily maid service from Marican was a real treat, and she was so kind to our kids. 10/10

Perfect for us

I'm so glad that, after trawling villa sites and viewing so many, we settled upon this villa for our three weeks stay. Our family of five (myself, my husband, and children, 19,15 and 3) plus a couple of days of visits from close family or friends had found the perfect villa for our needs. The villa is stunning, modern and immaculate. We loved that the teenagers bedrooms, although downstairs, were behind another door to the kitchen so we never had to worrying about them waking our three year old at night or vice versa in the morning. We utilised the laundry room and kitchen, everything worked well and was easy to use. The alarm system was also easy to use so we could leave the villa happily knowing our belongings were safe. The cleaners were friendly and went about their work discreetly. We did have to make contact with the property manager a few times, once because the gate got stuck (resolved within half an hour) and he was always helpful where possible. We did have an issue with the pool in the last few days, it went cloudy, and before this could be fixed we were unfortunately caught up in the large fire nearby and the pool was further spoilt. This couldnt be rectified by the time we left as, due to the fire, all the other pools in Vale Do Lobo also needed attention. Sadly, it meant the pool was unusable for us for our last three days but we appreciate this was an unprecedented situation. Location is excellent, walking distance to the beach, Praca, restaurants and bars and the shop. Its a short car journey/uber to a huge variety of excellent restaurants (Thanks Rob for your detailed notes beforehand with advice on places to eat and visit). We couldn't have been happier with the Villa itself.

Break with elderly parents

The villa was ideal for us as there were three ground floor bedrooms, one of which had direct access to the pool area, so no stairs for old people to negotiate if they don’t want to. Upstairs master suite had a beautiful outlook.

A brilliant family holiday

A really lovely villa - spacious and comfortable. The gardens and pool are beautiful, and so well maintained. The location is great - a 10-15min walk to the beach, and just a couple of minutes walk from the supermarket. We had a few issues on arrival, but these were sorted out very quickly by Miguel and Mari, the property manager and maid. Mari came daily to clean, which was amazing. Rob, the owner was very communicative and helpful, from booking all the way through to our stay.

Lovely villa but…

The property is fantastic but and here is the issue, we only hire villas with pool heating which this did have however, when we arrived the pool was really cold, we contacted the pool manager and explained that it wasn’t heating, had he acted immediately he would have seen that the heater was broken, it wasnt sorted until near the end of the holiday which was extremely disappointing. We were refunded the pool heating money but just very annoyed as pool was just too cold. Appreciate things happen but the management of the process and delay was frustrating and our expectations werent managed as communication from property manager was poor
