The loveliest Villa we have ever stayed in!
We don’t normally travel to Portugal in April but we needed a break after a harsh winter. The villa was situated in a lovely, quiet setting but also within walking distance of the golf Club and the Praça. It was lovingly and comfortably furnished and it felt like staying in a friend’s home. Having the pool, the terrace and the garden meant that each member of the family could find their own personal oasis to relax, sunbathe or work. We hope to return again as it was definitely the loveliest villa we have ever stayed in ♥️

Three generation stay
Peaceful location, with the most comfortable beds I’ve stayed in in the Algarve. Other than no bbq everything was provided that we needed and my under 2 grandson loved the tiny chairs and the truck to play with. The kitchen is old but all the appliances are up to date so no problem to us. The two bathrooms are obviously new too. We had a lovely stay

Wonderful stay
We’ve been coming to Vale do Lobo for years and still love it. The resort has a lovely feel to it. Excellent places to eat and drink, super beach, very clean and many fab villas to dream about owning! Casa Asylma didn’t disappoint. It was everything promised in the description and other reviews were accurate. Spacious, clean, full of everything needed for a 2 week holiday and extremely well located in central Vale do Lobo. Our kids loved the pool and spent loads of time jumping in and out of it. I’d highly recommend the villa and the resort.

Yet again a really lovely holiday. This is our second stay at Villa Asylma. It is in an ideal situation, plenty of space and quiet location. Pool is great and villa accommodation works well. Renovated upstairs bathroom is a good addition.

Amazing stay in Vale de Lobo
This property was perfect for us, downstairs bedroom and bathroom was perfect for me in the wheelchair. I asked the villa management company if they could recommend a place to hire needed mobility aids and when we checked in, everything I had mentioned that I would need had been delivered to the villa. Pool was great, spent most days lazing on a lilo and then just a twenty minute walk (wheel) to the local bars and restaurants. The villa had everything we needed and we will 100% be back, Thanks Vivie.

Fantastic House
Vale do Lobo as always been my favorite place. This house is situated in what i consider to be one of the best areas in VDL; close to the beach and Praça, but without all the fuss and noise. 3 great rooms and a 4th one that was improvised but it suits very well. Good living room with fair internet connection and cable TV. A/C in all rooms which is a must if you want a good night's sleep in the Algarve (in the summer...). Outside area is very good with an excelente pool and lots of space. Great House overall.

We have enjoyed a most wonderful week in your lovely house. It is situated perfectly - on a quiet one way road but also within walking distance of the club reception, golf courses and the local shop. The house had plenty of space and was perfect for a family holiday. And the garden and pool were an additional bonus. Vivie was absolutely brilliant in her communication with us and was extremely helpful whenever we contacted her; thank you so much!

The property is ideally situated for access to shops, beach and restaurants. Whilst the property is a bit dated there is everything you need to be able to cook and enjoy the facilities. The pool is lovely and a great space for swimming and children to enjoy. The main bathroom has been updated and bedrooms are roomy worth good wardrobe space.

Quiet location
Lovely peaceful location yet close to restaurants and supermarket. The outside space is well equiped with chairs, loungers and tables. Inside was a bit disappointing. Rather tired, especially the kitchen, and cluttered, however the ground floor bedroom and shower are ideal for those who find stairs a challenge. Check-in was a problem. The communication from VRBO was largely in German, so we were in the dark. Phone calls to the local manager were unanswered and their office was locked. We contacted the owner who saved the day by promptly telling us where to get the key.

Thank you for your review. This house is one of the first in VDL and has the charme in being authentic. Most of our guests love the old fashioned wooden kitchen which is well equipt with everything a cook is longing for. Usually the check-in ist't a problem but due to corona our villa management is missing some employees. Never the less we hope to welcome you again in our second home.

A very lovely stay at Villa Asylma
We were a family of 5 for this holiday, myself and my husband, granny, and our two young boys. Villa Asylma was perfect for us all, the boys spent most of the week jumping in and out of the fantastic pool! We loved the small garden, and the location was great - a very quiet neighbourhood yet close enough to walk to the beach each day, and plaza in the evenings! The villa itself had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Thankyou very much Vivie and family for having us!

Charming and comfortable
The villa was charming and comfortable. Possibly a little quiet for teenagers who might not be easily compelled to respect the quiet neighbourhood when coming in at 4am but otherwise lovely. The air con worked brilliantly and the villa had most mod coms. The gardens are not extensive but very pretty and immaculately maintained and provided a very welcome sense of privacy. Although we had a couple of hiccups with sprinkler timers etc, Vivie was easily accessible by email and everything was sorted quickly. A lovely choice for a family holiday.

Great holiday at this villa with our 5yr old son.
Stand out elements of this property are: its location easy walk to the supermarket- 5-10 minutes, easy walk to beach - 15 minutes. Lovely garden and good sized pool. The villa is spacious, well equipped, quiet and fully air conditioned. Very easy check in and out. The garden and pool are looked after by gardeners and the cleaners popped in too. Excellent to have the Wi-fi too. Thank you for a fantastic stay, we would recommend this villa to anyone wanting a relaxing, family friendly easy holiday in a beautiful area.

Lovely family home from home
We have just enjoyed a fabulous week with family (4 adults & 2 children) in this beautiful, well equipped villa. The swimming pool is great and loads of outside space for the children to play whilst helping to keep the villa extremely private and peaceful. Superbly located as it's walking distance to the supermarket (5 minutes), golf club (3 minutes) and praca (10 minutes). Vivie, the owner, has been great at answering any queries we had prior to our trip and whilst we were there. We have done lots of self catering trips in private villas/apartments and this was definitely one of the best. The beds were extremely comfortable, showers great etc etc. If being at all critical then although the kitchen is extremely well equipped and functional, the hob/oven could do with updating. Only 2 of the 4 rings really worked and the oven wasn't the best too be honest. A new/bigger BBQ would be great too but in the grander scheme of things everything was so perfect that it really didn't matter much at all. Fantastic.......will definitely be back!! Regards, Will, Hayley, Rory & Connie Sharon & Nigel

Idyllic and relaxing break
It's a lovely villa with a large swimming pool situated in the heart of Vale do Lobo near the golf course. Yet it's on a quiet circular street with so little traffic it's so quiet and peaceful. The villa does need a little work doing to it but it's full of charm and such a relaxing place to be. I've just been with my family (kids, wife & Grandmother) and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. I would seriously recommend this villa to others.

Sehr sauber, gut ausgestattet und ruhig gelegen! Perfekt für einen entspannten Urlaub!
- gut gelegen, nur 10min zu Fuß zum Meer und den Restaurants - sauber - Küche ist gut ausgestattet - Bäder sind sauber - funktionierende Klimaanlagen in allen Räumen - guter Reinigungs- und Gärtner-Service - schöner, großer Pool - gepflegter Garten Einziger Nachteil: Die Betten sind leider sehr unbequem. Vor allem das im Erdgeschoss und eines im Obergeschoss. Das müsste zeitnah erneuert werden bzw die Matratzen erneuert werden. Wir hatten alle Rückenschmerzen. Wir können die Unterkunft aber jederzeit empfehlen und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Der Ort ist wunderschön und man kann hier wirklich ein paar entspannte Tage verbringen.
