Relaxing
Great accommodation. the villa itself is comfortable and clean. We had a great help of Olivia in advance and Martin helped us well with the introduction on our first day. All the equipment in the villa worked well
Although the payment process was choppy and not well organized, the property was perfect. The property is very roomy and comfortable. The kitchen well stocked. My children and grandchildren came for a family BBQ and we had enough dishes and utensils to serve everyone. The swimming pool is large and very well filtered. Once you pass the original paperwork step, the experience is one of pure delight.

Relaxing holiday with beautiful views
Villa Martinica gave us the best of both worlds, a peaceful countryside feel and quick access to Albufeira and Salgados beach. The villa itself is very well kept, and the layout works really well for familiescouples travelling together. The pool area was our favourite spot, surrounded by greenery and very private. Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out.

Great family villa in a calm location
This villa was just what we were looking for, calm, spacious, and close to everything without being in the middle of the crowds. Guia is only 5 minutes away and has great local restaurants. The kids loved the pool and garden area, while we appreciated the privacy and lovely rural views. Kitchen had everything we needed, and the outdoor space was perfect for evening meals. Highly recommend it for families.
Very clean and spacious, big outdoor area, Olivia/Karen very helpful and friendly! Would recommend and would stay again! Thank you

Peaceful countryside retreat near Albufeira
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Martinica, it's tucked away in a quiet area near Guia, which was perfect for relaxing after busy beach days. The views over the countryside were beautiful, and we especially enjoyed our meals on the terrace with the built-in BBQ. The house was spotless, with three good-sized bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, great for our group of friends. Would happily return!

Disliked: Communication, location
Kitchen had basics, nothing extra.Sheets and linens were worn out.Pool was nice.Property manger was not much help, more interested in sending us to her favorite restaurant, lost power one day and did not here back for 12 hours.
Das Haus ist sehr geräumig. Alle Schlafzimmer mit Klimaanlage und angrenzendem Bad. Erfreulicherweise wurden in 2 Badezimmern die Badewannen durch begehbare Duschen ausgetauscht. Der große Pool ist sensationell. Wir lieben diese Villa.
Sehr ruhige Lage. Auto oder Taxi erforderlich.
Großer Pool, schöne Außenanlage. Das Haus ist geräumig, jedes Schlafzimmer hat ein eigenes Badezimmer. Zusätzlich ist eine separate Toilette vorhanden. Insgesamt ein hoher Erholungswert, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Als Kritikpunkte sind zu erwähnen: Außendusche funktionierte mehrmals nicht, wurde auf Anfrage behoben. Die Außenbeleuchtung am Pool und am Eingang flackerte, behoben wurde nur die Beleuchtung am Pool. Schade fanden wir, dass wir mehrfach bis zu drei Mal an unsere Mängelanzeigen erinnern mussten, damit sich jemand kümmerte. Dadurch dauerte die Mängelbeseitigung immer relativ lange. Genereller Sanierungsrückstand: Lichtschalter teilweise defekt, mehrere schon länger bestehende Wasserschäden an den Wänden, teilweise große Setzrisse in den Wänden und Wandfliesen.
Maison très propre, belle piscine, très agréable d'avoir 3 salles de bain, linge très propre, lits très confortables.
Arrivée pratique avec les clefs en boitier.
Merci à Sandra pour son déplacement et sa sympathie.
Réponse rapide en cas de petit soucis, robinet d'évier défectueux à l'extérieur changé le lendemain.
Toutefois la gérance se passe en Angleterre et pour les personnes non bilingue c'est assez compliqué lors des premiers échanges par mail.
Il faut également préciser que la maison est mitoyenne avec une autre location semblable, mais fin septembre ca n'était pas un problème.
En résumé nous recommandons cette location.
Excellent outdoor space with great pool and well kept garden. Villa is very spacious but in need of some repairs, updating and a bit of TLC. Peaceful location and beautiful beach nearby.

TLC needed
This basic property is in need of updating and some maintenance too. The furnishings are mostly tired and dated. In particular, the pool furniture could be replaced. Overall, we genuinely believed that we overpaid for this villa. That said, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.
Het huis lag perfect. Veel ruimte in en om het huis.
Alles wat je nodig hebt is er.
Alleen het keukengerij moet geslepen worden. Alle mensen waren bot.
Urlaub bei bis zu 29 Grad Ende Oktober.
Viel zu unternehmen von dieser tollen Villa aus. Absolute Alleinlage und damit tolle Familienzeit. Pool etwas kühl, aber nicht für die Kids...Wir haben die Auszeit sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder.
Fabulous Villa, very clean, beautiful location, peaceful and tranquil. Very comfortable beds. The sofas in the lounge area are a little worn however that didn’t affect the comfort. I would recommend this Villa for all the best reasons and it’s close to all amenities. If you want to go to the beach I would recommend a car, we hired a car from the airport to the Villa but if we wanted to go out and not worry about drinking and driving we hired an Uber they are cheaper than taxis.
La cuisine de la villa est bien équipée et nous avons apprécié le barbecue. Il ne manque rien pour passer de bonnes vacances aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur. Nous recommandons vivement !
Really enjoyed our stay at this spacious very well equipped Villa
We had a lovely quiet relaxing time there. The Villa is very comfortable with home to home facilities. The boat tour was also fantastic! Thank you all.
We had an amazing family holiday and have made memories that will stay with us forever.
Karen did everything in her power to make our stay unforgetable. Thank’s a lot! You was right! The boat trip was the best choice to know the Algarve coastline and the beautiful caves
