Our recent escape to Alvor was a serene journey into relaxation, thanks to this modern villa nestled in a quiet location. The well-designed living spaces, comfortable bedrooms, and the allure of the green garden created a retreat that felt both contemporary and close to nature. We loved that. Thank you!

All Good
This modern villa was an absolute joy. The interior was stylishly decorated, and the inclusion of a pool table added a fun touch to our downtime. The well-maintained garden and refreshing pool made for a perfect retreat. The local representative's assistance in booking Algarve tours ensured our stay was not only enjoyable but also effortlessly organized. A highly recommended haven for a perfect blend of modern comfort and entertainment.

Excellent, very clean and spacious villa.
The villa itself was immaculately presented and spotlessly clean. The pictures are an accurate reflection, but don't really do it justice - it really was a "wow" moment when we walked through the door. Everything you could need, is provided. When you book, there are various additional options for you - ie food hamper, heated pool, airport transfer, car hire, boat trips etc. We decided on a private boat trip and are glad we did - excellent value and very enjoyable. When booking is confirmed, you are sent a very handy list of nearby amenities / places of interest etc. In Alvor, there are loads of lovely restaurants and a fairly large tour
Stayed with a group of seven friends over four nights in late June.
The villa is a perfectly secluded and private getaway, so much so that it is almost impossible to find (even the welcoming agent couldn’t find it!). Once one of us figured it out, we sent GPS coordinates to the others (Waze, Google Maps etc will all fail you).
The photos are accurate. Beautiful infinity pool, outdoor kitchen and eating. Well appointed en-suite bedrooms. There’s also a secret fifth bedroom/office not listed.
All the property needs are a few missing touches to give it a five star rating:
- a printed welcome package/home manual with all the FAQs for the property.
- basic package of house supplies (etc, extra towels, soap/shampoo, dish soap, cooking ingredients (salt, pepper, olive oil). We literally had to buy all the basics from a store.
- WiFi was unreliable and only in the living room area. Not ideal for remote working.
- Electricity kept tripping off when the air conditioners were on. That’s a problem in 30 plus degree summer heat.
I’d stay there again if these issues have been addressed. Otherwise, there are better options in the area.

Deception
Déçue par la maison, odeurs d égouts dans une chambre, beaucoup de fourmis dans les chambres placards salle de bain et beaucoup dans la cuisine
Le ménage pas top ,
Le portail ne marchait pas , tous les matins nous avons été obligés de le « dégonder » sinon on ne pouvait pas sortir
Four ne fonctionnait pas
Frigo rouillé
Les seuls point positifs sont la piscine et le calme de la maison
This is obviously a very new villa. It is extremely modern and clean. (Although it is already showing some minor signs of wear and tear!). The bedrooms are excellent, kitchen is spacious and easy to use. Extremely comfortable. We were a party of 4 male senior citizen golfers but the villa can obviously cater for a lot more that that. The pool is ideal for families and there's loads of space around the pool and in the gardens. It's not within walking distance to Alvor....just! Taxis are cheap. The approach to the villa is a little disconcerting but, once you've opened the electric gates, you'll be happy wth the privacy and comfort inside.
