Fabulous villa with wonderful views
We chose this villa for its location ( peace and quiet) away from the busy tourist areas. The villa itself was perfect for us, modern, comfortable with a great outdoor area and pool. Obviously to get good views you have to go high up and the road leading up to the villa is a little tricky but worth it.
Our only complaint really was the structure of management and a few things that could make the stay more enjoyable. The booking was done through VBRO but the company that the owners use is Interchalet, they then use a local agent as the owners do not speak any English so we had difficulty communicating and had to contact the local agents if we needed anything. The check-in was tricky as the owners did not speak English and we did not speak Portuguese.
We had to give them €200 cash and then pay €1.50 per day per person tax in cash ( it would have been much easier if the tax was just included in the price). It would have been helpful if spare rubbish bin bags and a couple of dishwashing tablets were left for guests but the local agent told us that this was not their policy to leave items like this for guests.
We thought that for the money we paid leaving one bag in the kitchen bin with no spare and one dishwasher tablet for a 9 night stay was a bit mean.
It would have also been helpful to have a book with helpful suggestions re: restaurants, places of interest in the area etc. We enjoyed our stay and would book again but hopefully the owners will value our constructive feedback.
