Portugal Family Vacation April 2025

We enjoyed the house, location was convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. The only negative is ants, they are a problem. We kept all food off the counters and in the fridge, also took garbage out daily. We did buy ant spray and that helped. Overall the house was clean and spacious, cleaner came weekly. Our stay was for 3 weeks.

Very nice , we paid to heat the pool but was still cold , told we needed to wait for a couple of days for it heat but paid from the first day. Pool needed cleaning mid way through holiday. We lost a day and half waiting for it to be. done. Over all though spacious , clean in a lovely area.

Not so amazing-poor support

Wi-FI does not work on the second floor. Poor check-in process. Got the instruction for the key pad code 1 hour late. We were charged for some towels which had already some of the spots that were reported by manager. Make sure you take pictures of all towels and linens because you run the chance that you will be charged for replacements like we were. We never thought of reporting the stain spots thinking that it looked like normal wear and tear which generally refers to the expected deterioration of a rental unit as a result of the tenant's everyday use. This can include things like loose doorknobs, worn out carpet, towels, and minor scratches on the walls and floors. Also, I should had taken pictures of the water quality of the pool which was poor and had many green algae spots. This was reported to Steve on our arrival. Maintenance showed up a few days after our arrival to clean it and added some chemicals. The pool was not the greatest when we left. Furthermore, the fire detector started beeping during our first night in the villa. The battery had to be taken out at 2AM in the morning. We reported the issue by e-mail and was told that someone would come to replace the battery which was never done for our entire stay. I feel that the charge for the towels is very close to a scam. Some of the spots shown on the pictures(towels) were already there. honestly, they look like the normal wear and tear which generally refers to the expected deterioration of a rental unit.

Decent villa

Very strict ID and checking timings,... balanced by very casual approach to WC hygiene process and disposal. Pool was missing tiles and had cracks on the steps and bottom. Cleaners still there at check-in, they were also an hour early on checkout day.

Great villa

Villa was amazing, loads of space for 7 people. Pool is a good size and worth paying for the heating in April. Walking distance to the beach and a few bars and restaurants. Local supermarket very expensive, worth a longer walk to Aldi or spa. If unable to get an early check in, it’s worth looking at Scooby’s bar/pool. Will provide entertainment for the day aswell as having a luggage storage area. About. 20 minute walk from the villa.

Family birthday holiday by the beach

The villa was perfect. As a big family holiday for my birthday i wanted everyone to be comfortable and with the 4 ensuites and great living space this was spot on. The pool was a great size and we loved playing pool by the pool. Fabulous breakfast cafe by the supermarket. Lovely restaurant on the nearest beach 5 minutes walk away. Could not fault the location. You don't need a car and if going further ubers are great.

Family vacation in Portugal

The home was lovely, spacious and offered plenty of entertainment. The Management Company was very prompt and was an excellent resource to help navigate tours, travel and restaurants. The one area to tighten up is directions to the house - two separate UBER drivers had extreme difficulty in finding the house, so plan accordingly.

Villa was lovely - check in was not ideal.

Villa had more than enough to keep us all entertained and it certainly helped with the great weather. Although the security deposit for a group of friends is a bit steep and there was an absence of a proper walk around (still awaiting communication regarding security deposit refund), we really enjoyed our stay. Karen was really helpful and her suggestions of activities were really good, including water park and fish restaurant. We were not happy about check in, although it states 4pm - we put our bags on the property and it was already cleaned and ready to be moved in, we kept checking in with the 24 hr line, but kept being told to call later and they don’t have the information. It would have been nice to check and allow us to move in early if it was ready, since we pay for that day. Also we were told the pool would be checked, but this was not done and the towels were also not changed halfway through our stay as mentioned by staff. Fortunately our stay was only a week, if this didn’t happen during a 7+ day stay, this would have been a bigger issue. The pool, table tennis table and pool table were good additions. A table next to the outside bbq would be a welcomed addition. I would like to say a huge thanks to Karen and Olivia for assistance, especially Karen who sorted issues with internet and outside lights as soon as she was aware.

Had to cancel twice because of COVID but was well worth the wait the villa was perfect for our party, my grandchildren loved the pool which was set at a good temperature.

Great villa lots a space around the pool, lovely views, great aircon, sun all day on the pool

We really enjoyed our stay the views were lovely, the sun was on the pool all day there’s plenty of sun beds and everything you need. Aircon was great in the bedrooms the staff were very quick to help replacing the toaster within a few hours. We had the pool heated it was great to get into even late when the sun was setting. Only thing we didn’t expect was a bedroom in the basement. It was a large cool rooms so no problems with it but would have been nice to know before we went. Would go again 👍
