From the moment of entering this property it was clear there was everything you need as the owners obviously spend time here. It would have been palatial when it was completed with large living spaces, huge bedroom suite, multiple bathrooms and expensive decore. Over time however it has deteriorated and I took one star off for an air conditioning unit that leaks directly onto multiple cables behind the TV as well as many plug sockets coming away from the walls. In fairness the tired nature of the property is reflected in the price and doesn't distract from the experience. The pool is glorious, the gardens well maintained and the location, although quite close to the main freeway is relatively quiet. A car is needed as everything is at least 20min away.

Fatima is efficient was in time to greet us and fixed a broken coffee machine quickly. Our poor Portuguese (none!) strained communications at times.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week with our 3 and 5 year old boys. There is no fence for the pool but a stern warning for the boys was all that was required. It is a great base to explore the Algarve and roomy enough for 2 families.

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home, personally I much prefer to stay in a well equipped and much loved home with character than a clone like unit on the beach.
