Villa with pool 100m from the beach in quiet area

Very well localized, great for holidays in algarve.

First impression was how accurate were the photos and description of the villa in the VRBO ad. Absolutely spot on! The villa instruction book covered everything about the Olhos d agua area. With which we were already familiar, as we had wintered from Canada several times before. This year was a bit chilly, but the bedrooms were equippedwith samsung fan heater units. Only the lounge/dining room felt chilly as it is open to the hallway and front door. Soon rectified with permission to use the fireplace which has a blower to circulate the heat to the room; so we were soon cosy! The kitchen was well equipped with highend stainless cookware and small applliances, (but this being Portugal..care needed to not use (eg)toaster and kettle together! The pool area was a wonderful sun trap(tanning area). The patio adjoining the living area was comfortably furnished and we enjoyed al fresco meals there; and used the BBQ in the shady courtyard below. The 4 bedrooms each had 2 beds, medium comfortable. We would have liked less lumpy, higher grade pillows! Though. Restaurants and Supermarket are walking distance. The accesss to the beach and cliff walking trails was nearby..serviced by well maintained stairs. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. (Be aware, though, electricity use, separately billed and visibly metered could be a higher charge than you would expect to pay in cash at the end of your vacation!) Cautious use of heating and A/C recommended. Hope this info is helpful!

Villa Lima is in a fabulous location right next to the beach and a short walk to the shops and restaurants. The villa is very nice, the only thing that let it down was the garden was very unity and not looked after. We'll certainly be going back though.

Very disappointed in villa. Have stayed in many villas but non as bad or a "tired"as this .Cigarette butts on kitchen floor on arrival.Furniture in lounge very primative. Couldnt sit on it. Outside shower very dangerous. Tiles all loose exposing concrete. Pool needed cleaning and requested someone to attend. Very mouldy smell in 2 ground floor bedrooms. Bedding had marks on blankets . Bbq had to be cleaned before use. Paving dangerous .All uneven. Took an hour to sweep up leaves etc before able to use BBQ area. No welcome pack just to tied us over til we got to supermarket. Not even a cloth to wipe the surfaces!!!Made this unhygenic. No change of towels or bedding in a 10 day stay .Not suitable for young children as too many steps. There were other things wrong but feel I should leave it there. On a positve note the water was always hot for showers and the villa itself is in an excellent location. I do sound very negative but feel that this villa needs to be brought up to a better standard and is relying purely on its location .
