Travelled last week of October with family. Villa was easily found, directions were spot on. Picking up keys was fine but electric gate wasn’t working but hadn’t been told so had to call to find out that it was manual (didn’t want to push/pull & break gate) could have been useful info before arriving. Villa was lovely & clean. Looking round had plenty of space & rooms were good sizes, felt lost at first with doors leading off to various areas! Some lights didn’t work, could have done with possibly being labelled to which switches worked which lights. Villa manager had been in touch to say some things were broken due to other guests & not had chance to fix/replace but we didn’t find anything particularly that we couldn’t use due to this. Asked for late check-out on last day due to late flight & was able to stay until noon as nobody was in the villa after us. Villa has lots of steps, including little half steps which could be tripped on if not looking where going/unfirm on feet. Could do with a plan of the house, as travelling with children its ideal to know that they will be close by during the night in case they needed us (mention this on every villa we stay in). Bedroom downstairs on pool level is only accessed via outside, no internal staircase (could be good information to be made available). Plenty of towels provided, lots of cutlery & crockery available, variety of different utensils. The villa could do with some work doing, there are obvious cracks in some rooms and some painting needed. Doors didn’t seem to completely shut (sliding patio doors left a gap, shutting one side fully opened the other side very slightly) so didn’t feel 100% secure but due to location & the villa being out of the way it didn’t cause us much concern. Electric gates working would have provided most security. Pool was big & kids enjoyed using it but it was quite cold & would have been used much more/by whole family if it was heated. Weather at beginning of week was cooler. Enjoyed our stay & it was perfect for us (family of 8 aged 5-59) with plenty of space & seating to be able to spread out & not be on top of one another. Would definitely use the company again as the information/conversations were informative & responded to in a timely manner.
Good
The photo is old, property is in need of a maintenance update. There was nobody to meet us at the property and no welcome book to explain how things work (eg where to put garbage). There were things broken/no working (dish washer, air con unit, bug screen on window, broken paving, etc). Location of property is good, outside garden overall good, but interior not really acceptable for the price. One major thing for improvement should be the low wall (no more than a foot high) by the swimming pool. There is a c.15 foot fall the other side on to rough ground. This was a concern with young children using the pool. Would I go to this part of Portugal again - yes, would I book again with Vrbo - probably, would I stay again in this villa - definitely no.
First arrived at the property and it was really quite impressive. Very large luxurious looking villa. Initial scout round and every seemed good. Once we unpacked and settled in and got accustomed to the venue everything started falling short. On closer inspection the place needed a major overhaul. One of the toilets were broken in isolation not a big deal, but others we loose, sink taps in bathrooms not working and not hot water in the kitchen sink. Also a number of the air conditioning unit didn’t work as these were absolutely needed as it was very cold. Overall we ended up using less than half the space. The photos are clearly a few years old as the place is slightly tired.
