3 BEDROOM POOL VILLA LOCATED WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO THE MARINA & BEACH

This was the first time we had ventured abroad with our 3 children and we had the most fantastic time staying at the villa Manuela in the Old Village, Villamoura.
Paulo provided a very efficient booking service, answering all our queries.
We found the villa was as described and surpassed our expectations as it was much larger and nicer than we expected. The gardens were beautiful and the children were never out of the pool, all of which were well maintained. The maid, gardener, and pool chap visited regularly. Lots of books in the villa but it would have been nice to have had a few DVD's as there is no British TV channels or Wifi connection.

Within 5 mins walking distance there are a handful of very nice cafe bars and restaurants which were very geared up for us brits with fried breakfasts etc. We found Villamoura itself quite an expensive resort (although very nice) and perhaps not great for young children as the cafes and bars were quite a way from the beach. We preferred nearby Quarteiria (5 mins in car)as cafe bars, ice cream palours and restuarants lined the promenade opposite the beach.

We visited the nearby water park on two occasions and had the most fantastic time staying until closing time, as well as Zoomarine which was good but perhaps more geared to children under 10.

There is a local tourist train that you can catch into Villamoura and it would be perfectly possible to walk into the centre as not far, but a car would be recommended to get the most out of the holiday. We collected ours from Faro airport and it was approx £200 for 2 weeks hire so very reasonable.

It would be good to add a visitors book in the villa with local information, tourist attractions, and a section for customers to write their comments.

All in all a very good holiday.

Many thanks

Wonderful holiday. Spacious very clean villa with great garden and pool. We were lucky when we stayed in that no adjoining properties were occupied and the only noise we had was birdsong.
The only downside was the beds. They all squeak and creak on the slightest movement although were fairly comfortable. Earplugs did the trick.
I would love to stay there again and have many happy memories of our stay there and Portugal generally.

Brilliant holiday will book again the villa was lovely and clean, we had maids everyday expect weekends ideal for family's as it has loads of land for kids to run about,not far from the beach and the marina, can't wait to book again next year will do 2 weeks next time.
