    We didn’t hire a car so a-bit further out but we didn’t mind as we like walking plus Ubers were very cheap and quick. The nearest lively areas are not to our taste anyway. (Old town Albufeira )

    Beautifully presented. High end finishes. Huge bed very comfortable. Gorgeous private outdoor area and pool with sun loungers. Loved the plants and landscaping of the communal area. Lovely helpful host and daily cleaning.

    Beautiful surrounded villa and garden, very nice swimming pool, comfortable poolside beds and all the peace and quiet you want. The villa is splendid, everything you need is there, high quality decorated, nice bathroom and a superb and extremely big bed, we slept like a rose. Very polite and helpful staff and Claudia is the best, if need be, you can reach her always with every problem or question, even on the days she is not working!

    The only downside if I can say that is the lack of facilities near by you had to walk or get a taxi to the nearest supermarket. It wasn’t a complaint at all but we didn’t realise this when we booked .

    The Villas were like home from home with every facility available. The setting with the gardens and the pool was beautiful . They were so comfortable and catered for our every need the bed was so comfortable .

    We loved everything. Just a tiny bit of feedback: the check-out process wasn’t clear to us. We couldn’t find any information on how to check-out so we just left the key in the villa, which thankfully, was fine but that could be improved 😊

    Everything was perfect. The villa itself. The pool. The garden. The staff. We had an amazing time.

    Nothing, was perfect!

    Property is amazing 😃. Villa is spacious and the grounds are astonishing, kept clean and beautifully maintained. Claudia is brilliant and provided us with plenty of information on things to do/places to eat which was great. Location wise was fantastic. Away from the hustle and bustle of old town or the strip to escape the noise, but close enough and easy to get to these places when you wanted to. And Vilamoura just down the road also (25-30 mins) with its beautiful marina 😃

    Luxury accommodations with complete amenities. Manager Claudia was always available for assistance and local knowledge. Quiet place out of the mainstream hustle and bustle for relaxation...but close enough to beaches and restaurants. The peaceful gardens and pool were exactly what we needed! The beds were fabulous as well. Want to give a huge shout out to Claudia and her staff!

    Cleanliness was excellent. The privacy was also excellent. The staff were so nice and friendly and nothing was an issue. Claudia met us as planned went through everything and gave us numerous recommendations for places to go and good restaurants to eat in. Villamouura is on 15 minutes in a taxi so depending on what you want the area is very quiet which suits us. Recommend going to old town and give new town a miss.

    None!

    It is a very beautifully decorated and well maintained collection of villas with great amenities. The villa we stayed in were nicely furnished with all the things you’d need in a comfortable home. The pool was great to cool you down on a hot day with comfortable pool chairs all around it. The garden is also exceptionally well taken care of. The cleaning staff and equally importantly the property manager, Claudia, are superb and super helpful at all times. It is also located in the quiet part of Albufeira but also not far from all the happening spots! I’d highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again in the future!

    The only downside is the environment outside the residence. It's an old holiday center that has probably been sold, and there are some renovations by new owners, but nothing is visible inside the residence, so there's no visual impact. A car is essential.

    This accommodation is great. The small individual villas are really beautiful, tastefully decorated, and very functional. You have everything you need for a pleasant stay (privacy, kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine, smart TV with the option to install your streaming apps, etc.). The heated pool is a real plus. The beach is just down below at 1km. I highly recommend it!

    The little shop and restaurant on the site was not open but given how early in the season it is was only to be expected.

    We were met by the wonderful Claudia at 9pm on a Saturday evening. Claudia showed us around the villa and showed us how to work the television , alarm system, and the Wifi. She even dropped us into town to get something to eat. By Sunday morning she had sent lots of information by Whatsapp with links to numerous websites. Her team were all exceptional and hard working. Nothing was too much trouble.
