Wonderful villa for our family holiday of 3 generations
We've just returned from a fabulous week's stay at Lucy and Julia's gorgeous villa - clean, spacious, comfortable and with every amenity supplied. We especially enjoyed the wonderful seating area outside, with comfy seats and couches in the shade, and study wooden sunbeds for those who love to brave the heat! The rooftop area was beautiful for evening drinks watching the sun go down, and the large pool was a hit with us all.
Inside the villa, the sitting room and its 3 very comfy sofas were perfect for relaxing, and the TV and games system looked great, although we never really got around to using them much. Ceiling fans and air conditioning kept us cool. The kitchen was well equipped, and the second fridge freezer in the laundry room was perfect for storing drinks.
Gina, our contact in Portugal, was very helpful, meeting us at the villa and showing us everything the villa had to offer, but also later in the week when we had some questions. We also had a worry about the pool around 9pm one night, and she organised the pool maintenance man to come round within about 10 minutes, despite the lateness of the hour.
All in all a fabulous holiday; we were very sad to leave...
Perfect Villa in Perfect Location
We have just returned from a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa in Gorjoes. We had booked the villa to have various friends and relatives come and join us for a few days. Never having seen the villa despite knowing the area we were a little apprehensive as to how it would be for quite a few staying at the same time. We shouldn't have worried as it is beautifully and thoughtfully laid out and very spacious. The location could not have been more perfect. Easily accessible for Loule, Sao Bras and Faro, close the beaches including our favourites near Tavira and some amazing and excellent value restaurants very close by.
The villa is much prettier than the photos and the setting is absolutely beautiful. Very serene and peaceful. My favourite aspect was the view from the bed in the master bedroom suite which looks out directly to a picture perfect view. Waking to that view each morning was good for the soul. I also loved having my morning coffee and toast on the private balcony surveying the surrounding countryside and absorbing the tranquility.
All the bedrooms and bathrooms were well finished, well furnished and well stocked with some great showers.
The gardens are beautiful and well laid out so everyone can get the space they need. I was happy lying on my sun lounger with book listening to one group playing boules on the gravel in one direction, others at the table under the tree playing backgammon, whilst someone else lit the BBQ.
All of our guests loved it and we can't wait to return. Happy days indeed!
