Silva by Algarve Villa Holidays

Lovely location

Noisy hotel times next door

So modern and clean. Great location

Difficult for Ubers to find us

It looks exactly like the pictures - the pool is spotlessly clean and was attended to by a pool person several times during the week. we paid extra to have it heated and it was a toasty 28 degrees all week - well worth it for our toddlers. The house is tiled with wood effect tiles and is east to keep clean. There was only maid/cleaning service available once during the week, we declined it as everything was fine for us (family of 4) but I imagine if there’s 8 adults there it might get a bit messy! we stayed downstairs in the double & twin & used the downstairs bathroom but there was a double and twin bed and bathroom upstairs that we didn’t use. The upstairs is accessible via a marble spiral staircase and there’s no way our toddlers would safely use it. there’s a gate at the top, but if you plan on using the stairs with kids, then I’d recommend renting the stair gate. the staff in the office were very nice but we only dealt with them on arrival and departure. a really fabulous villa, only 5 minutes walk to restaurants and a lovely beach.

little things, that don’t matter massively but would be convenient; there was only one toilet roll supplied in each bathroom. no spare bin bags supplied. no bins or refuse collection so we had to walk down to the end of the road to dispose of rubbish. we also had to buy washing up liquid, washing machine pods and dishwasher pods.

lovely spacious villa, rooms were comfortable and the pool was excellent

cleaning of the was not great
