This villa is centrally located in the Algarve, so served as a great base for exploring the area on our first visit here. The owner, Manuel, lives next door, was very welcoming and provided us a lovely "welcome" supply of food and drink on arrival. Throughout our stay he and his daughter were most helpful and very approachable. That said, unless we had any concerns, we were left to our own devices.
The property feels secure, as it is in quite a secluded area and has an electric gate.
The 3 bedrooms available suited us well and the whole property was air conditioned. There were 3 bathrooms, effectively 2 en suite and one communal one, though we allocated a bathroom to each bedroom.
The open plan kitchen/dining/living area is very pleasant, and there is a well-connected, if rather small TV in the lounge. The wifi is very good throughout the property.
The garden is a decent size for the property and is well sup[lied with comfortable sun loungers, parasol and other seating options. There is a good-sized pool - we didn't have it heated but it was fine for general use despite being early June. We enjoyed the use of a fine gas BBQ and there is also a charcoal one available. There are some pool toys, and indeed there is a supply of books and some games indoors, which was a nice touch.
There is room for 2 vehicles to park (we had 2 rental cars), but it might be tricky to park a large car/SUV on the site, though it would be possible to park on the street if needed.
Overall a great stay
