Luxury Villa - 3 Bedroom Holiday Vila With Pool for Rent in Vilamoura

We had a very frustrating experience at this property. Here’s a concise summary of the key issues with our Vrbo rental:Key Issues:• Owner Behavior: Mr. Manuel was intrusive, entering the property without permission, controlling (e.g., monitoring pillows, towels, and furniture placement), and confrontational when items were moved or guests visited. He was present daily at 7 AM, reducing privacy.• Communication Problems: His hearing issues led to miscommunication and distorted interactions.• Property Condition: The house was outdated, lacked air conditioning, had old furniture, and smelled of mold. The garden was misrepresented online, now covered in sand with artificial grass around the pool, and loungers were prohibited.• Amenities Issues: No garage, distant and outdated laundry facilities, an old kitchen, and a gas oven that ran out of gas mid-use.• Misleading Listing: Photos on the Vrbo website did not accurately reflect the current state of the property.I will be filing a formal complaint with VRBO.I do not recommend this property at all.

Amazing, perfect location, spacious inside and out, comfy beds, very clean, pool and terraced cleaned everyday. Hosts were wonderful and accommodating. They were quick to answer questions and the whole family were sad to leave.

Our week in Villa Richard was great. The villa is very well kept & the pool cleaned daily. Getting into Vilamoura centre is straight forward. The location is peaceful.

We loved our stay. The property was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. When not exploring, we spent most of our time in the pool, and outside on the spacious patio area where we ate most of our meals. Our children are both good swimmers and we all enjoyed the size and depth of the pool, and the large pretty garden. The supermarket is a short drive away. The marina is about a 25 minute walk or short taxi ride where there are many restaurants. Loule has a great market which is about a 20 minute drive. A special thank you to the owner Manuel, who was very helpful. He welcomed us at the start of our holiday, we saw him once mid week, and then when we left. We would definitely return.

OK, I will split this into 2 parts Outside and inside, Outside:- The villa and pool are set in large sloping grounds, the pool is large and deep, it has a very small area ranging from 0.9m to 1.2m, then slopes down very steeply to 2.4m (Nearly 8ft) this is not suitable for children/poor swimmers, the step leading down to the pool has a very serious safety issue it permanently has a length of hosepipe stretched across the to step, the patio area is under a very large tree that cast a huge shadow, if you want to sunbathe you will have to chase the sun around, there is just enough space for 2 sun loungers in the sun at the end of the day, as usual the outside suffers from an ant problem, the villa was described as quiet, yes if you are Dog deaf the property opposite has numerous dogs that bark for hours setting other dogs off, property on Rua de Mimosa also has several building works going on, get used to hammers and angle grinders. The lawns have had a problem and were mostly grass/mud ... Inside:- Inside is very dated, the Bedrooms were very clean, the bathrooms need a big makeover, Brown swirly tiles and small carpets around the toilets is very 80s, the lounge has no less than 28 places you can sit, seats/stools/sofas and 9 tables, the sofas are straight out of your Nans front room with tasselled cloth throws and flowery cushions, why did it feel like 3 of us were staying, the owner!! no less than 10 visits in 1 week, forget sitting outside for a quiet breakfast !!!

We faced a series of unacceptable issues. We were met with misleading information regarding the property's condition and unsuitable power outlets. Additionally, we were continuously disturbed by the owner with invasions of our privacy and shockingly disrespectful acts. Misleading Information: We were informed that the house would be fully prepared for our stay, featuring a functional garden and pool. However, we found out that the house only had British power outlets, causing significant logistical issues for us. Moreover, we were informed only on the eve of our stay that the garden was in poor condition, severely undermining the property's value. Daily Disturbances: The owner showed up every day between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM to water the garden. This act interrupted our sleep, making it impossible to rest. Invasion of Privacy: On the fourth day, after the house was cleaned, we had no hot water. The owner entered our house without permission while we were having breakfast. He disclosed that he had turned off the hot water, thinking it was too hot Disrespectful Actions: On the fifth day, we found a diaper on the hood of our car. I had placed this diaper in an outside trash bin overnight, fearing the odor it might cause indoors. The owner admitted to moving the diaper to the car and derogatorily called me a pig. That same day, while we were at the pool at 16h, the owner was watering the garden and deliberately wet our clothes.

We had a great stay. Pool and outside area are excellent and property was spacious and clean great location for golf and marina

Cant thank the owners enough for their kindness and letting us stay at their villa. Beautiful villa and excellent location will definitely recommend and return! Thank you

We enjoyed our stay very much and had a fantastic weeek, Ecellent Hosts :-)

Spacy house with lovely garden and pool. It says 3 bathrooms, but 1 is only a separate toilet.
