Fabulous family holiday
A spacious & well thought out Villa that was perfect for my hubby & me, grown up daughter & her partner and our lovely toddler Granddaughter to enjoy some precious family time together is the sun.
It was very clean & the lovely maid that came 3 times during our 12 day stay was superb & a nice addition.
The pool, patio & garden were perfect for enjoying quiet relaxation during the day & fun with a few drinks in the evening after using the well placed built in BBQ.
Our daughter enjoyed the Aircon as she is not great in the heat. The WiFi was excellent. I welcomed the fly net blinds which were at every window & patiodoors, I am vulnerable to Mosquito bites so it was nice to sleep with windows/doors open with the net blinds pulled over. The kitchen is well equipped with ample crockery & cutlery. The kettle is a little tired & the washing machine has been well used !!
We hired a car & glad we did as it gave us the flexibility to drive into Galé for restaurants & Alberfuria for the shopping (we found a great gym that you can buy weekly or fortnightly pass for)
There are some good value restaurants that we walked too but we preferred the restaurants in Galé.
ZooMarine is very close & we loved the Dolphin & Seal Lion shows, definitely recommend getting there before 11am as it gets really busy from midday.
Had no contact from either the management company or owners, but the maid was lovely & the pool guys were discreet in maintaining the pool so it was fresh & clean throughout our 12 day stay.
There was only 1 thing that made me sad which is something the owners/management company can not control but might be able to influence is the poor dog in the grounds of the Villa opposite that seemed to be left 24/7 & is clearly unhappy from the howling it did some mornings as dawn broke. I have dogs so I found it disturbing to hear the dog being so unhappy & feeling unloved.
We will return to this Villa as it is lovely 😊

Relaxing family holiday
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the sun at this property. The villa is very well equipped with all you need, we loved the pool (which we heated for our baby granddaughter & was so warm it was like getting into the bath) and outdoor area. We used the lovely bbq & terrace meaning we went out much less than on usual holidays. There was so much room that we didn’t feel on top of each other & had our own privacy travelling as three generations. The villa is really bright, spacious & full of character.
It is a short walk to Guia where we used the little supermarket for daily needs (having shopped at the large supermarket at Algarve shopping centre nearby on arrival) and had lovely meals at Ramires, Oviera & Palladium during our stay.
This is the first time we have booked through Home & Away/Algarve holidays & found the whole experience from booking to returning home simple & much better than anticipated; we would definitely book another holiday with baby/young children this way again as made a much more relaxing family holiday than being in hotel type accommodation.

Quiet Villa
Villa was easy to find in quiet neighbourhood with a welcome package on arrival. TV is well equipped with English channels and there are a lot of English books available to read. A travel cot was included for us in the price as an exception but there is normally a charge for this and a charge for a high chair which we have not encountered with other hires where these are normally provided as standard.
Pool and outside area are very nice, sunbeds are well kept and pool heating worth the extra money, particularly as we had a baby with us.
However we did find the furniture is an older style and appliances in the kitchen functional but old now and need updating. Washing machine shakes violently on use and was not kind to the clothes. That said it was well stocked with kitchen utensils.
Workmen turned up during our stay to fix a broken toilet without an appointment which was a little unsettling though the maid assisted in understanding purpose of their visit - I would recommend giving renters advance notice to avoid worry.
On the whole the villa is good.

Wonderful property in a nice quiet location but also only a 10 minute drive to Albufeira
What can I say - a very nice and well appointed comfortable property with lots of space and comfort. Kids loved the pool , which is bigger than it looks in the photos. The village is 10 minutes on foot with a few nice restaurants, bank, chemist etc and there is a very large shopping centre 5 minutes away with everything you will ever need. Sad to be going home and will definitely return .

Lovely villa and lovely relaxing holiday.
We stayed for 10 night and had a great time. The villa was just as we expected although I’m not sure we needed to have the pool heated because it was exceptionally hot while we were in Portugal. Definitely recommend the villa and the location. Close enough to everything, shops, beach, old and new towns, zoo marine (wouldnt go back there though). My only criticism is not something that the owners can control so wouldn't stop me going back but there were two dogs in the villa opposite that were left all day, every day and continuously barked every time a car/person went past!

Nice place away from busy areas
A villa in a quite area which has everything you need. Close to a shopping mall and 10 mins in a car to the coast. Local beaches are worth a visit but they are busy. 40 mins back at the airport the most amazing beach .

A Lovely Fortnight in Portugal
We have stayed at this property before. It is very well situated with a short stroll into Guia which has a huge choice of restaurants. The property was chosen as it met our requirements. Air conditioning throughout, lovely garden, parking for two cars, good pool and three bath/shower rooms.
We had a problem with the dishwasher which took a few days to sort out as it happened on a Saturday. But Florence and her staff were helpful as always.
The reason I haven't given the villa five stars is because it's beginning to look a bit tired. Nothing too important but the kitchen appliances are getting towards the end of their life. The outside furniture needs replacing. A few pool tiles are missing. None of these issues really lessened our enjoyment of the holiday but they do need addressing.
We also had no water for a day but that was a general problem for the area.
Overall, we had a great two weeks and will probably be back in Guia next year as we love the place. Most things you need are in the village (special mention here for Palladium and the Football Club) and the wonderful beaches are a short drive, so a hire car is essential.
Lastly, Manuela (the maid) is like an old friend. She is lovely and whisks around the villa without you knowing.
We'll be back.

Great property but you'll need the car.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The kids loved the pool, the house is very clean and comfortable. Gardeners and cleaners came and went during our stay very discreetly. The house comes with great facilities including excellent wifi which we all enjoyed. The village of Guia although is very close to a large shopping centre and the zoo marina park, does lack in options for restaurants and shops. Saying that there are plenty of nice places to eat within a 10 min drive. It's a short drive to albuferia and it's great to leave the hustle and bustle and come back to a quiet village environment. Overall a great property located in a very quiet area.

Stayed May 2017-Would definately re-visit to explore more.
The villa was charming as described and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.It had all we needed and we really made the very most of using the swimming pool but glad we had arranged for it to be heated in May. So all in all a great time was had by all.
Our only criticism, and this may just be because we have softer beds at home, but we did find the matresses quite hard on the beds and had to improvise a bit but nothing that would put us off returning at a later date.
Manuela was warm friendly and really helpful during our stay and helped to polish up my French!! Many thanks. Sally & Derek

Amazing!!!
The villa was amazing, it had everything you could need.Including pool and beach towels which take up room and weight in your case. It also had a hair drier in each of the 3 bedrooms so no need to take one with you. The location is great as it only takes 10 minutes to walk into the village where there are a selection of restaurants to choose from. We were here at the beginning of September and it was very quite and peace full.

Lovely villa, highly recommend it
Whilst you can tell the advertisement has professional photography, we found the house is exactly as advertised (if a little dated) as compared to the photos.
We enjoyed the quiet and private surroundings, the fine views from the balcony and the upstairs windows, the handy walking distance restaurants and amenities, and the heated pool which was a necessity as we were travelling with a 2-year old son of mine. The furnishings are as advertised --- I personally would have liked some more rugs or wall hangings to help with the echo but that is just a personal preference.
The pool was perfect (cleaned once during our week's stay) with plenty of sun loungers, the yard and laws meticulously kept with lots of pretty flora.
The house was kept clean and well-stocked with clean towels by the lovely maid Manuela. She speaks very little English so prepare to brush up some key phrases 1) to show willing which is really appreciated and 2) to make things easier.
The whole house is kitted out with various security devices -- I am not going to enumerate them here for obvious reasons but let's say they were sufficient for complete peace of mind.
The kitchen was reasonably well kitted out for a holiday let. The coffee maker only makes 6 small cups of coffee at once, so if you are a large coffee-swilling party, prepare to take turns in the morning. We had to buy a vegetable grater and a cheese slicer due to our personal preferences. We left them to whoever comes next.
We had a crack at the barbecue a couple of times, which is better if you get some firewood instead of messing about with charcoal. Florence and co did promise to sort out some firewood for me as long as I let them know when I want it (can you tell we are intending to go back...)
I was very relaxed when coming back, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Will go again next summer, let's hope the weather improves :-)

Loved it
The villa is gorgeous, very spacious and clean. All utensils you require along with washing machine and dish washer. The pool is a good size aswell although going in April i would suggest heating the pool, it was a bit bbrrrrrrrr. The algarve shopping centre is within walking distance and has a good range of shops and eateries but everything else you really need a car for. Couple of british bars that are really good aswell. We loved every minute of it.

Een mooi ruim huis! Hebben een top vakantie gehad.
het is mooi huis in een fijne rustige omgeving.
De ruime woning is netjes en schoon
Wel zijn er dingen die de aandacht vragen zoals de douche deuren in de kleine badkamer beneden en sommige horen zijn aan vervanging toe.
Maar we hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad.
Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar !!!
