We had the most incredible week at Villa Gourmet. Our host, Howard, was exceptionally hospitable—he met us at the property, gave us a tour, helped us settle in, and answered all our questions. The housekeeper’s visits a few times during our stay added an extra touch of luxury, making the experience even more special.
The house was stocked like none we’ve ever stayed at before. Every cooking appliance you could imagine was available, along with endless amenities and activities to keep us entertained. We found ourselves so content that we barely felt the need to leave the property, enjoying cooking in the outdoor kitchen and spending time in the beautiful garden and pool.
We celebrated our 10-year-old’s birthday and my husband’s birthday during our stay, making the week even more memorable. We did two fantastic excursions: visiting the Marine Zoo, which delighted our animal-loving daughter, complete with water slides as an extra bonus. On my husband’s birthday, we took a private boat tour along the coastline to explore the stunning caves and grottos. It was such a unique experience, and we learned so much about the Portuguese and their love for their beaches.
Our only regret is that we didn’t book a longer stay. We hope to return soon!

From start to finish this stay was fantastic. Howard was incredibly helpful, informative and accommodating. The Villa is just fantastic with so much space, clean and so much to do, if you don’t want to go anywhere you are still entertained for a whole day. I’d heartily recommend this stay and Howard as a host.

The Villa is in a perfect location just minutes away from the Marinha beach and other attractions alongside the beautiful coast of Algarve. The Villa is in a very good condition. Everything from furniture, interiors and equipment is of a very high quality. The owner of the Villa is just minutes away and he was very helpful if we needed any assistance. Also the housekeeper that came every weekday was so nice and helpful and she is keeping the Villa in a spotless condition.
The Villa has an amazing pool house with all you can ask for, even a Pizza oven. It has so many different seating areas with views of the landscape and the beautiful garden. There are so many things to do in and around the Villa, pool table, table tennis, football, amazing heated covered pool, jacuzzi and a small golf course in the garden. And we all loved the fridge room.
We had an amazing stay and we all can't wait to go back.
