3 bedroom Villa, Private Pool, Private Location. Close to Guia, Near Albufeira Beaches & Old Town.

Lovely pool and outside area.

Bon sejour

Villa Julia was very pretty and very clean .Everything worked - information provided was excellent -Bathrooms lovely and plenty of hot water - Pool very nice also -some sunshade would be nice around the pool area . Pool beds fine - Maybe a king size bed would be nice in the main bedroom but maybe that’s just me. -kitchen utensils need updated - more side plates and plates and mugs needed .Location was good - took about 15 minutes into main town which was heaving with youth.

Beauty Vila me and my family loved it kids absolutely loved the swimming pool and great host

We had a wonderful two weeks in this villa, it is set in the countryside with views all around and is so peaceful, we all really relaxed and enjoyed the space. The pool was great and we used it every day. The property is very clean and though older inside, it is very charming. You need a car if you stay here but the beach was only 10 minutes away and to return every day to our own property with total privacy was wonderful. Thank you for letting us share your home.

A property with character - that doesn't mean that it's gone to ruin! Honestly it has stood the test of time and is beautiful - the pool and bouganvilla are awesome and it's such a peaceful place to be. (Mind the mosquitoes though - not many but you only need one....). Generally well equipped but a few things that would be useful additions are a cheese grater and a peeler. So great to have not only bed linen and towels provided but also pool towels . Poor communication - or lack of - with the Portugala representative (but wasn't a big deal - just that his directions to the property were rubbish if arriving in the darkl!)

Everything was good abort the villa. The only bad side was barking dogs at the neighbors house. Friendly host that helpt us threw the stay!

This spacious villa was very relaxing and comfortable. We could sit by the good sized pool without any neighbours or passers by seeing us and could barely hear traffic in the distance. The grounds were well maintained, the kitchen well equipped and there was no shortage of towels etc. We would definitely stay again.

The photos of the property are misleading. The outside is fine except the second half of the garden (not shown in the photos) is becoming a dumping ground. The pool furniture is old and not comfy. Inside the villa is full of old furniture, the beds are OK but small. The linens are old, nothing matches, didn't feel fresh and clean so I ended up washing it all. The kitchen has old appliances showing rust. Nothing felt clean and the crockery was disgraceful. We struggled to serve food because there were no sets of anything we only found 2 matching large sized plates. We even ended up buying two sets of glasses. The Bathrooms are also in need of serious updating. There was mold on some of the tiled areas. The baths are old and you have to climb into them to take showers which we considered dangerous especially if you are elderly. The sinks were chipped and the facets leaky. If you go in the cooler months then take note the Villa is extremely cold and the best form of heating was to light log fires which is not ideal. There were two very small heaters but they were too small to heat the larger areas. Another very big downside was the dogs at the surrounding properties and the Kennels located down in the valley, they barked constantly for hours. It is advisable to have transport if you stay at this property, its very remote and walking back from the town late at night is not recommended as it is not well lit. One huge positive is that Carlos, the Property Manager was excellent. Always available, extremely helpful and always on hand to help and give great information on the surrounding area. The WiFi system a great plus point which Carlos supplied, was also a remote system and worked really well. Definite 5* to Carlos. All in all this Villa was a huge disappointment however, if the owners would consider making some big improvements it would have so much going for it.

Villa Julia is just as described. Excellent communication from Carlos from a phone call before we arrived to outstanding driving instructions (a car is advisable), easy check in with a lock box and suggestions for restaurants and things to do. He really was always available and so helpful. The villa is beautiful. Sun all day and a lovely pool. The kitchen is well equipped and there was such a spacious feeling to the place. The wifi was via a portable modem which was so handy as it could come with us when we went out saving our data. The villa felt very secure with lockable gates and a huge drive. Although it seems remote it is only a 7 min drive to Albufeira old town and 15 mins to lots of lovely beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it.
