It was a wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay- only disappointment was the pool wasn’t really heated. The kids didn’t mind but too cold for me. Antoine was a great help and always very responsive. Overall, we had a very good time and highly recommend it for large groups- plenty of elbow room!

Perfect holiday
We were a group of 12 from Ireland, with ages ranged between 2y/o to 60 y/o. We absolutely loved this villa. The location was perfect, it being right beside the beach and walking distance to bars and restaurants. Areke was more than helpful before and during out stay. We had everything we needed in the villa. It was spacious and clean and had all that we needed. I would highly recommend this villa for a group and we would definitely be interested in coming back again.

A True Gem for Exploring the Algarve
We had a group of thirteen stay at the house for a week in July. Its location can't be beat - at the eastern end of the Praia da Rocha, it is in a quiet neighborhood but is only a short walk to dozens of restaurants, bars, shops, and clubs that truly come alive at night. The home is gated and private from the street, but is surrounded by higher apartment buildings that give the neighbors of view of the outdoor common areas. The pool was kept clean and was wonderfully refreshing at any time of day. There is parking for two cars on site (garage and gated drive) but on-street parking can be found nearby in most cases. Some of our crew complained about the following: low-power stove took a long time to cook, first floor bedroom was not air-conditioned, not all bedrooms are en suite, and the clothes dryer didn't seem to want to do its job. Overall, these were minor inconveniences. On site caretaker Areke was very friendly despite the fact that we showed up early and forgot to tell her. Summary: book it!

Best birthday to date
The Villa was perfect in every way. Beautiful decorated, all the amenities that you need, lovely outside terrace with pool. We had a massage on the 3rd floor balcony overlooking the ocean. The location was superb, 5-10 mins walk to beach, restaurants, shops and bars. HOLLY & ERICA were gracious hosts. Very accommodating. Highly recommend
