We were very impressed with this villa on arrival, we were a family of 5 with grown up children and all had a really good time. You may want to hire a car to get around but we managed perfectly well using Uber’s. We had beach days, pool days around the villa, we went out for meals some nights and also had a couple of bbq’s. There is a large water park not too far away, lots of fun had there too! We were able to leave our luggage as we arrived on early flights and then went to wander around the shops. We booked the transport offered through emails from the airport, we were taken to drop bags off then dropped at the shopping centre. The cleaner was lovely, towels changed and a thorough clean through mid week which was really nice. We weren’t aware but this is quite an exclusive area of the Algarve and if you have a wander around and look at the properties this becomes quite clear. It is a lovely quiet area, the beach is around 20 - 25 minute walk, the local shopping centre with supermarket was also around 25 minute walk. Excellent communication, answered queries really quickly and a quick visit to explain a few things through early in the week was really useful and not an intrusion at all. I would definitely recommend this villa and would be very happy to visit again.
