The villa was clean, spacious and comfortable, with a lovely big pool and large gazebo for shade and family meals. Estoi, Olhao and Faro within very easy reach by car/Taxi
Our stay at Villa Lara was amazing from start to finish. The property was perfect for our needs. The little touches like the tennis courts and the pool were a big hit with the teenagers as well as the added extras offered by Larissa in the way of jewellery making and massages for the adults. Raymond and Larissa were extremely welcoming and the communication before our arrival was excellent. As we had a late flight on the day of departure they allowed us to leave our bags at the property until late afternoon which made the transition much easier with our large party of 10. The location of the property was perfectly described and the town of Estoi was easily accessible. The recommendations of restuarants and places to visit suited our needs perfectly. Thankyou for a great stay and would recommend in a heartbeat.
Wow! Villa Lara is a beautiful place to stay and recharge your batteries.
Ray & Larissa are lovely attentive hosts, they live on site in an annexe on the side and are available to help with any issues that you may have, we only needed a new light bulb.
With 10 of us staying, we were concerned that we may be under each others feet but that is not the case. The villa is so spacious and well laid out. The pool is wonderful and after being out all day, it is lovely to come back to, to cool off and relax in the garden or on the verandah.
It is only a 10/15 minute drive to Olhao, where there are many restaurants and the ferry to lovely beaches.
Thank you to Ray & Larissa for allowing us to stay in your lovely home, we had to can else the previous year due to Covid restrictions and Ray was so helpful in changing our dates. Well worth the wait.
We will definitely stay again.

Belle villa, cependant surprise en arrivant nous apprenons que les propriétaires habitent au sous sol de la villa. S'en ai suivi au fil des jours de la location la visite du propriétaire tous les jours à n'importe qu'elle heure de la journée, qui montait par l'intérieur comme il le voulait, prétextant résoudre un soucis d'internet (qui n'a pas fonctionnait le long du séjour), il tondait sa pelouse pendant que nous étions à la piscine, couper ses haies etc... Au moment du départ pour rendre les clés nous nous sommes fait hurler dessus car nous avons sonné à l'entrée de leur sous sol pour leur rendre. Et quelques jours après notre départ, nous apprenons par Abritel que monsieur souhaite que nous réglions 50 euros pour un robinet de cuisine qui ne pivotait pas (il n'a jamais pivoté) bref à fuir! Je vous passe le détails des restrictions de règles à suivre pendant votre séjour. Je tiens à préciser que nous passions des vacances en famille avec des enfants.
