Casa Alegria · This villa is perfect for a family

Great place. Arrival instructions were easy to follow. The villa itself had everything we needed and is conveniently located to everything you would want for a family holiday if you have a car.

The property itself is fantastic and the location was wonderful because we had a car so could get anywhere. The day before we checked in we were told that there would be no access to the pool house containing a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. We had booked the property with emnough bedrooms for our party so people had to share rooms for a week of the stay until they were able to deal with the issue. None of the shower drains drained water properly so all showers had to be used at minimal pressure to ensure water did not flood into the hallways. The pool heating we requested and paid for ahead of time was not turned on at all u til a couple days into the stay. Then we used the stove top with a small pan for eggs one morning, left for the whole day, and returned back in the evening it was no longer working we requested someone to come look at it while we were there and no one came but after we left they billed up 350 for damaging the stove top. On top of all of this people who were cleaning staff, garden staff, and pool staff, showed up at random times through our stay with keys and let themselves in without us being told they were coming so it did not feel private at all.

Complete kitchen, quiet and easy and quick access to the beaches.

Perfect

Villa Alegria is a very comfortable property in a quiet, rural location but close enough to shops, services, dining, groceries, beaches, restaurants, etc. It's outdoor area - pool, deck, many dining tables and seating areas is spectacular and at the right time of year I can see spending most of your time outdoors. Some of the best features of the Villa are: - all beds were very, very comfortable - cleaning service is excellent - kitchen is reasonably well equipped for dining in - all appliances worked well and manuals were available if any questions re operation - living & dining areas are spacious - house is very well equipped with CDs, books, tourist info - there was a portable heating unit that we used in the living/dining area - property is very private and we found the area quiet - large parking area - proximity to two of the best Algarve supermarkets - Apolonia and Intermarche - communication with property management company was good and they reacted quickly to any questions we had. Only a few shortcomings for us: - we were there in late January & February, and there were some very cold days - it would be nice if the home had an AirCon/Heating Unit in the living/dining area ... the same type that they have in each of the bedrooms - downstairs shower does not drain well - living room couch is leather (slippery) and not particularly comfortable. I think in renting this unit people just need to decide if they are happy being in this rural location. You're not far from Carvoeiro and Lagoa, but you're also not in walking distance to much of anything except one restaurant. Enjoyed the property and would recommend it.

Such a lovely area and a great home to stay! Absolutely everything we needed in (and around) the house. Having a big and warm pool was an extra enjoyable feature. Close to major sights, town life, restaurants and supermarket. Good to have a car. Correspondance with the agency very fast and friendly. Would love to come back one day.

We booked this lovely villa at very short notice, for an autumn lockdown escape. We took advantage of the heated swimming pool and beautiful garden/terraces on sunny days. The wood fire was perfect for cosy evenings. There’s a perfect mix here of the rural location and easy access to all of the Algarve’s delights. It was easy to take advantage of the really well equipped kitchen with nearby access to excellent supermarkets (Apolonia).
