Great location and very quiet
The property was lovely and in a great location, with peaceful surroundings.
The owners provided everything you could wish for in a self-catering holiday.
There were only two negatives :
The toilet for the second bedroom hadn’t been cleaned since the previous guests and was very dirty and the top sheets for the two beds we slept in, had a couple of holes / tears in the material.
Having said that, if there were no similar issues next time then we would definitely book again.

Beautiful secluded villa
Absolutley beautiful villa. Exactly as the listing. This is by far the best stay we have had through VRBO. The host was perfect for communication. We arrived a little earlier and were allowed access to the villa. The pool and back garden is fantastic! Four of us happily played in the pool. There is loads of different seating areas/loungers etc. The property itself is spacious and well equipped. There are supermarkets within a ten minute drive. We had a car for the week but uber is accessible and there were always cars available which we used on an evening for meals out. We went into Vilamoura a few times and it is absolutley beautiful for walking along the marina, plenty of eateries and shops. So many beaches within a short distance. There is nothing directly around the villa, it is very secluded which we really loved. I would highly recommend.

Villa was perfect. Location was easy to get out and about, very quiet which is what we like.
Villa was well equipt and lots of nice little touches.
We had a minor sink blockage issue and Sharon and Bill sorted it out quickly and were both really helpful during our stay.
Tv was the best we have ever had abroad, basically Sky tv.

Fabulous
If you like peace and quiet but still like things to see and do relatively close by then this is for you.
The Villa has everything you could want/need.
Perfect place to relax and unwind but yet close to Vilamoura and Albufeira and plenty of other places.
Taxis are freely available but we had hired a car to explore in and go to the many supermarkets within minutes for supplies.
The pool area is wonderful to relax by (and in) with a seating area given shelter by a gazebo when the sun is at its highest.
Dealing with everyone else involved was a pleasure.
A really nice touch was the welcome pack. Thank you.
Would highly recommend

Lovely Pool
The villa was lovely; secluded, clean with a lovely big pool and plently of outside seating.
Nice touch was the chees, bread, water and wine. Thank you.
The villa is remote, which suited us so you would need a car although there is a bus stop at the end of the road.

Relaxing Girls Getaway for a 50th celebration
Just back from a fabulous 4 night stay. We were looking for a secluded villa with easy access to shops/restaurants/bars if we felt we wanted them and this is what we got. The villa was lovely. The outdoor space is fantastic. So many different places to enjoy the sunshine or the shade. The pool was gorgeous and although it wasn't heated we were able to enjoy it everyday. Kitchen was really well equipped and beds were comfy. Uber is the way to travel. We had booked transfers from the airport but were let down by the company on the way out after there were long delays at passport control and the driver didn't wait for us. An Uber driver was there within 5 minutes. So cheap and convenient. We shopped at the nearby Aldi or Lidl. $5 in an Uber. And we only ventured into Albufeira Old Town once which was about $10 each way.
The host was really helpful before we travelled and we had numbers for contacts nearby if we needed them but didn't end up using them.
Would highly recommend if you want to be able to relax and enjoy a very private villa but still be close enough to take in the sights of the Algarve.

Wonderful!!!
Place with beautiful pool!’
They even left wine & baguette for us.
Arrived late in the dark so don’t recommend that. Impossible to find without having the gracious host on the phone.
Also there are hidden drawers inside drawers in the kitchen which we didn’t discover for several days so no wine opener u til then😳
We would come again if we return to Algarve 😀

Serene and secluded
My husband was interested in a place near all the best golf and he found it. I was looking for a peaceful villa away from the tourists but central enough for trips to the beaches and towns nearby for daily excursions - while also finding a place from which I could paint. We both found what we were looking for. Walks to fountains, lunches at the beach, climbs along steep steps, incredible hidden gems of restaurants off the beaten track. The villa itself was beautiful. We grilled lamb chops we bought from the local Mercado for Easter dinner, fresh fennel and delicious fresh bread and desserts! We loved the villa! If we return to the Algarve, we would definitely stay there!

Relaxation in the Algarve
We fully enjoyed our time in Portugal, and it was made all the much better by this wonderful villa. Amenities were top-notch and it’s close to everywhere. You need a car and having a car will give you access to the entire Algarve region. The pool is fantastic although we went a little early in the season, and it was too cold to swim in(at least for us). Don’t miss this Saturday market in Loulé.

2nd Stay (and hopefully not the last!)
This was our 2nd time staying in Eleanor’s property and the experience was as good as the first. It has everything you need for self-catering with a large modern kitchen, BBQ, comfortable beds but what makes it is the pool area which is just prefect and much bigger than would be found at larger properties. Unlike our first stay we headed out a couple of nights to Villamoura and Albefeuria and ubers were easily accessed to and from the property and inexpensive. I can’t imagine it will be our last stay!

Take me back!
An amazing property, well placed for loads of trips out. We didn't hire a car so used Uber every day and is was really cost effective. The property is perfect but the icing on the cake is the outdoor area and pool. The weather was fab, if a little hot so the pool was most welcome. We loved watching the red rump swallows having their daily dip in the pool. We only wish we'd booked to stay longer but we will be back.

Fabulous private location
We loved our stay. Bill was very responsive to any questions we had. The location is nice and private but still close to everything you need. Comfortable and relaxing, we loved the pool and the swallows that come by for a dip. I agree with another review that it may be a bit hard to find, we ended up adding the local place called Licks into the GPS and then following Eleanor's detailed directions from there made it very easy.

Great base for exploring the Algarve
We had a lovely stay at this house - it had everything we needed and was located in a good spot to set off on explorations. Since we came in off season (November) we didn't use the pool but it was very pleasant to enjoy the deck. Its in a very quiet and secluded spot which would probably be a bonus in high season when things must be crowded. For us it was nice for the peace and quiet. Enjoyed Barbecuing fresh fish and veggies on the grill after returning from our adventures. Hosts were very attentive. Amenities all worked just fine.

Wonderful stay at this beautiful villa
We have just returned from 10 days at this fantastic villa. It was spacious and really well equipped with everything you need for a brilliant family holiday. The outside area was absolutely perfect: very pretty with plenty of seating options so you can be in sun or shade depending on your preference all day long. The pool was a great size and really was the highlight of our trip (a little chilly for our daughter on windy days so bringing wetsuits for kids might be a good idea). The built-in outdoor BBQ was great and we had many lovely dinners sitting on the terrace. There are so many beaches, attractions, resorts and restaurants just a short drive away. We can't wait to go back!
