Holiday for 12 adults and exceeded expectations. Alan could not have been more helpful and responsive - any issues/questions dealt with immediately. Photos of property do not do it justice - had absolutely everything we needed and more! Highly recommend and thanks again to Alan and his team!

We had a fantastic 2 week stay in this amazing villa! As a group of mixed ages from 8 to 82 it gave us everything we needed and more. Rooms were spacious and had all the mod cons and more. Lots of fridges in the kitchen and utility and air con throughout. The photos don’t do justice to the amount of outside space around the pool, there’s far more than there appears to be and there are plenty of seats around the outdoor table as well as sun loungers for everyone. The tech is great with huge TVs and great sound systems. We had a few glitches with the power cutting out but once Kevin had explained where the switch was to fix it we could do it easily if it happened again. The gym and pool table were used daily, especially by the teenagers and the cinema room was great although we needed some help to understand how to make it all work! We hired a car because of an older member of the family but you could walk to restaurants and bars as well as the supermarket for a light shop. I’d recommend Lourenço restaurant a few minutes walk away as well as some others close by. Transfers were arranged by Lisa and.we used the same company for trips out as a group too. Although it’s on a road it’s at the bottom of a quiet cul de sac so no through traffic at all and pretty quiet other than us and a couple of neighbouring villas. I’d highly recommend staying here to anyone, just note all rooms are double beds rather than twins but it worked perfectly for us

House was gorgeous but you need a degree in computers to be able to work all the mod coms in the house

This is a very lovely property. The location is convenient, the backyard/pool area offers lots of places to sit and is relaxing. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom so all guests have privacy. We had a fabulous time! We couldn’t have asked for much more.
