Monte das Palmeiras by Algarve Holidays

The villa was in a lovely quiet area (occasional dogs barking from next door during the day only). You do need to be a driver or get taxis, as it's quite remote It's about a 5 minute drive to Loule town centre. The villa was spacious and clean and the pool area was lovely with comfortable sunbeds. There was a lack of sun shade but as soon as we requested an umbrella, they delivered and installed one on the same day which we really appreciated. There is plenty of parking and beautiful views all around.

All 3 bedrooms had aircon but 2 of the units are quite old and could do with an upgrade to be more efficient. The 2 double beds in the upstairs rooms were very hard. My husband loved it but myself and my parents found it a bit too hard. It's totally subjective of course! You have to hold the shower heads to have a shower in the 2 ensuites and this could be easily rectified. All in all this is a great choice for a holiday villa!

Swimming pool, kickers, cleaning level, well equiped kitchen. A big plus for guests with children is that the pool has a fence around it.

The water pressure in the bathrooms and the matresses.
