Our Lady of Mercy Villa

We were met at the property when we arrived by Helder who showed us around.The villa is in beautiful grounds and there was everything that anyone would need for the perfect holiday. We were 8 adults and 2 babies, cots and high chairs were provided and they were spotless. The pool area is perfect for lounging around and for the energetic there is a tennis court. Pool and table tennis are also available. Sebastian and his wife are on site and the resident dog Poeta a massive gentle giant of a dog, that we all were happy to engage with. A note to those frightened of dogs, he does not bother you at all and does not try to come into the property. We were given a bag of homegrown tomatoes which was really appreciated as they were delicious. The kitchen was spotless (as was the rest of the property) with plenty dishes etc. Central Porto was cheap to get to by uber or Taxi. We did not eat out locally but used the supermarkets (there are 3) which were a very short walk away. My reviews are normally short and to the point but this time I just do not want to miss anything out.

I cannot think of anything that could have been improved upon. This really is a fabulous place to holiday.

The villa was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we couldn’t believe how impressive it was. There was a large group of us staying, and every single one of us agreed that we didn’t have a single bad word to say about the property. There was plenty of space for everyone, and the range of facilities meant there was something for us all to enjoy. The villa was spotlessly clean, and we can’t thank the hosts enough—they were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and always happy to assist with anything we needed. The property is located in a quiet neighbourhood, with two supermarkets less than a five-minute walk away, making it really convenient. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone, and I really hope we get the chance to visit again in the future. It was also lovely to meet Poeta, who is such a big, friendly giant!

N/A

Our hosts were wonderful and the property was truly beautiful with fantastic facilities.

The houses are absolutely incredible. There are two houses and as we went on holiday with children and grandparents, it was great that everyone has their own space. The pool was amazing, tennis court, basketball hoops, football goals and more! Everything was there that we needed. The kitchen was fully equip for everything you could possibly imagine. Sebastian and his wife live on site in a separate house but they are not only wonderful people, there are extremely helpful and didn't see them at all really unless we needed something. They were so warm and welcoming and great with the kids. Sebastian even took our children into the aviary to see the baby birds that were just born. There is also the biggest, friendliest dog living there but he doesn't go into the holiday space. Our kids loved him and he is just wonderful. I felt safe at all times and have nothing negative to say about this property. Really close to lots of supermarkets, 25 mins from the airport, an Uber ride to Porto costs around 20 euros and also you can get Uber eats delivered with lots of choice if you didn't want to cook. Extremely clean and couldn't of wanted anything more for the week. Our check out was at 11am and our taxi was booked for 12pm, the cleaners arrived making it ready for the next guests on time but Sebastian sorted us out and we were welcome to use another pool and side of the property if we wanted to. No kicking out which was just amazing. Thank you so much and will most definitely be returning.
