Nice Villa close to the besch

This villa is a home from him. It has everyone you would need for a stay. It was very clean and had everything we could wish for in a holiday home. The kitchen has everything, the beds are very comfortable and the en-suite is big with an excellent shower, badly needed after a day on the beach which is a 5 min walk from the villa. We would definitely look at using this property again if we were back in Vale De Lobo

Great location villa but issues on our stay

Villa is as listed and in a great location for VDL beach and restaurants. Villa was clean and had good facilities. There was an issue that there was no hot water on the first day of our stay which was out of the owners control, but it meant I spent my first day back and forward communicating with the owner, which isn’t ideal when you are on a weekend break. The owner did her best to get the issue sorted quickly but when we asked to stay on a few hours on our last day when the villa was not booked, I was told I would have to pay for an extra day. It would have been a nice gesture to make up for our inconvenience.

Relaxing short stay.

Checking in was confusing & got mixed messages from host. The property was a little difficult to find too. Loved that there was a key safe. It was a warm day & we weren’t familiar with our surroundings. It would’ve been nice when we arrived to have bottled water in the fridge. Caused hassle as we didn’t have a car & was dropped off at the resort due to no early check in. Villa is clean & a lovely space. We found it to be well located to the restaurants & beach. A long walk to the supermarket. I do believe it would’ve been helpful to have a resort guide, map etc available to view in the property along with suggestions & restaurant reviews.

Extra comfortable villa in one of the nicest parts of the Algarve

We spent 9 days here in low season and could imagine a longer stay next time. The bed in the larger bedroom was comfortable (we didn't use the other bedroom) and having 2 sofas to relax on at night was super, as was the satellite TV and great wifi connection. We walked or cycled all day and the paths and trails, including the boardwalk as well as the beaches provide superb scenery. The kitchen is well equipped and it was easy to cook at home if desired. We enjoyed the patio on warmer nights, and bring day from any traffic was terrific. A car is essential, though there is one quite good small supermarket that's walkable. The sunrise and sunset views at the villas here are lovely. We travel light and a washing machine is a must; this one was ready to use and we loved being able to dry things outside. The short was excellent, too. We enjoy stays at different places. The fact that we would seek to stay here again speaks volumes for how lovely the property is. There are also many restaurants a short walk along the beach or quick drive away. Vale de Lobo Is a great spot for golfers to stay, it anyone who wants to explore the Algarve from a lovely, comfortable and peaceful base.

Short break Vale do Lobo

Fabulous little villa 5 minutes from the beach. We normally stay at the Dona Filipa hotel but we found this stay to be much more relaxing with our own private space. The villa is well equipped with washing machine, dishwasher etc and outside there are chairs, a table and even a Weber BBQ. Would we stay here again - absolutely YES ! My only gripe would be it is quite difficult to find in the dark even when using Google maps (our flight was delayed) so a detailed description of the route would be useful.
