Another fabulous stay
The villa is in a quiet location which we loved. A car is essential to get out and about. While we didn’t play golf, we utilised the on site facilities and the staff at the bar & reception were very friendly. The nearby town of Vila Real is a lovely town which has managed to avoid mass tourism so far! We found the area very reasonable too.Overall I would highly recommend this villa & location.

Stayed for a week in the villa. Well equipped with good space. Resort was great, quiet yet close to a couple of local towns if you have a car and if you are a golfer the facilities are also good. Food was excellent in the clubhouse

Holiday with friends
This is our third visit to Tom’s villa and still a pleasure to go there. The kitchen is fully equipped, only downside was the size of the kettle! Made full use of the patio and the swimming pool. We love the peaceful setting although a car is a must to appreciate the local area. Hope to visit again in the future.

Amazing place
What a property! Loved our stay and it had (almost) everything that was needed.
Friendly staff at clubhouse and check in was a very easy experience. We were very lucky to be able to check in early.
BBQ was there, kitchen was awesome. Bedrooms were great. Pool was sublime. Everything was great, seriously great. My golf game was not brilliant but not a problem of the course.
Only thing missing (may have been there but couldn’t find) was the tools for the BBQ. Difficult to flip a burger with no flipper.
Anyone looking for a relaxing golf break should look here. Quinto Da Vale course is just six minutes away and Monte Rai is just fifteen minutes away. Perfect base.

Already booked the same dates for 2024.
My family and I have travelled to Castro Marim Golf and Country Club annually for 18 years. We have rented many villas on the complex.
We encountered one or two minor issues on arrival, which we reported to the villa owner Tom. They were treated like major issues. Tom’s response was immediate and effective. The same can’t be said for all landlords at CMG. We had a superb trip. The villa is spacious, clean and well equipped. Everything we expected. Very happy indeed. The pool is great, as is the golf. Spain and the beaches at Monte Gordo and Praia Verde are a short drive away.
Thanks Tom.

GOLFERS PARADISE
Six average golfers from Wales playing Castro Marim for the first time since Covid19 lockdown. We had stayed three times before & were concerned that the golf courses, the clubhouse, the staff and mostly the accommodation would not be to the standard we remembered. Golf facilities were great and the villa was perfect. Loads of space, clean, all the facilities we could have wished for. Excellent pool, comfortable beds, air conditioning, etc, etc. We will be booking again when we can gather together enough balls to replace those lost around the course.

Lovely Villa for families
We stayed at Toms Villa for a short 5 day holiday in April and were pleasantly surprised with what we got. The villa was very clean, had all the utensils that you would require and the best thing about it was the size. Its perfect for a big family or even a few couples sharing as each double room (there were 3) had its own private bathroom. We had some decent weather in April and the kids loved utilising the large pool it has, we even managed to have a BBQ (there is a choice of a charcoal or a gas BBQ which was useful). Tom made sure that any request we had was managed swiftly, like having a food parcel available as we arrived very late in the evening, as well as beach towels and organising late check out. The Villa is located in a nice golf resort with beautiful views of the course from the pool area, very peaceful and was a short car ride down to local villages and beach front. All in all, a very satisfying holiday and would definitely recommend the villa for families as we had a great time. If there were anything I would do to improve the experience, would be to ideally leave a dishwasher tablet or two and/or washing powder for the washing machine but that’s me being very picky and definitely will not stop me going back!!. Thanks very much Tom.
