Villa Magali | 4 Bedrooms | Walking Distance to Beach | Galé

The villa’s location is perfect —close to a supermarket, restaurants, bars, and a beautiful beach—all within walking distance, making a car unnecessary. We’ve stayed in the Galé area many times, but unfortunately, we won’t return to this particular villa.Upon arrival, we found a severe fly infestation throughout all 4 bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and stairwell windows. Despite contacting the host, the remedy was minimal: only two plug-in repellents and a single spray were supplied - they simply gave them to me and left. The issue persisted throughout our stay, disturbing our sleep and causing numerous bites.The promised mid-stay towel and linen change was also mishandled. A man appeared on day 4 but didn’t do the job. When I followed up, the host incorrectly claimed we declined service.The villa was not secure, allowing unannounced access via the front gate. Additional issues included a broken pool filter cover (unaddressed for over two years) and a single umbrella hidden behind the shower.Despite the villa’s lower price, the fly infestation, poor maintenance, and subpar guest service made the stay disappointing. We regret not booking a more reliable villa nearby—this one simply wasn’t worth the savings.

We were a family with young children traveling with family and friends and this was perfect for people of all ages. Beach was so close and neighboring towns were easy to get to by car. We would stay here again!

Location of property is excellent, eateries and supermarket a 5 minute stroll.Spacious and clean, although outside seating area is looking a bit worn, roof of pergola was weather worn and torn, and some of the tiles around the pool were broken and lifting. Not a problem for us but might be for children. Pool heating made swimming a pleasure. Couldn't open the shutters in one of the bedrooms which we were told had been reported and someone would come to fix. No-one turned up. Overall enjoyed our stay in villa Magali. The amount of 750 euro damage deposit seems excesive, but was refunded promptly.

Spacious, clean and fully equipped. The house felt cosy inside and the pool and outside seating area were just perfect. Can’t fault the place at all. Well worth the price if more than 4 are staying. There isn’t much more for me to say as the house was absolutely beautiful and made the whole trip perfect.

Thank you. We had a wonderful stay. Our second visit. Looks like we’ll be back again next year. We loved it. Keep doing what you’re doing

Four girlfriends from High School, now in our 70's, totally loved our stay. We each had our own room and bathroom! The place was perfect and we really enjoyed the outdoor space for playing cards and relaxing. You need a car staying here. We walked a couple easy blocks to the beach where there were restaurants and beach walking. We drove our car to take the Bengal cave tour via boat and then walked the cliffs as well. Beautiful! Highly recommend.

Superb location, gardens & pool. Interior looking a little tired. Lacking some cutlery, glasses etc, fridge freezer approaching the end of its life & coffee machine needs replacing.

All aspects of the accomodation were excellent apart from there is no heater on the main level which gets quite cold in winter month's and the fireplace does not generate any significant heat. All bedrooms have heat and AC. Just the first floor requires something. Main floor needs a heater

The location was excellent, close to supermarket and beach. The cover for the pool filter was dangerous and one one of our party tripped on it resulting on their foot going down it cutting their leg. One of the sun umbrellas needs replacing and the outside areas were a bit grubby.

A great location for me and my family to enjoy my birthday, we had a great time the location was great and the villa outstanding. The local restaurants/ cafe were good and the beach was second to none. I will recommend to my friends if they were thinking off going on holiday to the Algarve.
