Great location

Lovely villa in a great location close to bars, restaurants and beaches. Communication with the owner was excellent and he agreed to a late check out which made our last day very relaxing.

A lovely stay with just a couple of observations

We have just returned from our family holiday staying in Richards villa. Me, DW and two sons 20 & 17. I consider myself fair and honest with details I’d like to know so bear with me. From the outset Richard was prompt and friendly with correspondence. A few weeks prior to our arrival I received villa location and entry details plus useful info on where to eat, nearest beaches etc. When we arrived and collected our keys we made our way round to the villa. Although situated within the Balaia complex, you enter the drive of the villa via a public road to the left of reception if using google maps, which for me wasn’t an issue as the road is quite quiet but some people might like to know the villa isn’t completely within the Balaia grounds. Just to add, we never had any issues from the public road, only my inability to reverse onto the drive (which is recommended as the gates are quite tight). My wife found this hilarious as I am a Police Traffic Officer. Oh how I laughed with her.... The villa itself is huge, three good size bedrooms that would easily accommodate six adults. The decor is lovely especially the master bedroom. Good quality kitchen with lots of items left by previous renters such as cereals, salt, pepper, and washing machine detergent. I guess this could be a bit hit and miss as to what is left. Nice big tv in the lounge with lots of UK TV channels including many sky and BT sports channels for those silly enough to go on holiday during the footy season (six times). The villa has a lovely terrace and grassed area to the rear. During our time the sun was in the rear garden from around midday onwards until around 1830hrs. DW would be down at the pool by 0830 and would return to the garden around 1300hrs. The walk from the garden to the pool took no more than 30 secs. Through the rear gate, along a short path and through a man made hole in the hedge. Pool was lovely as well. All in all we had a lovely time and have no complaints. Just a couple of minor observations from me. The villa is suitable and advertised for six people but only have four loungers with only three having cushions. Also the boiler didn’t seem to have the power to heat enough water to run more than one shower at a time. Not an issue for us with only one female but may be an issue if you have a group of ladies preening themselves for 30mins at a time... Other than these two minor “issues” we had a lovely time and if we return will happily rebook Rich’s villa.

A Great Place to Stay

The villa was lovely, on a beautiful complex and in a great location for beach, bards and many restaurants. It offered the perfect combination of a peaceful location, while being close enough to everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

Great place for a family holiday

I have stayed in several properties on Balaia Golf Village and this was by far the nicest. It has lots of space , both inside and out. The private garden and roof terrace were great for sunbathing, while the main pool and bar/restaurant was only a few yards away. Inside the open plan kitchen and lounge with large TV was ideal for evenings in. I also liked the fact that everything we needed , from supermarkets, to the beach, bars and restaurants was within easy walking distance meaning that we did not have to hire a car (I do enough driving at work, so appreciated the break). All in all it is a great place to stay and we will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Long

We bought the villa in 2002 as a place to bring our young children for holidays. It has been a perfect holiday villa - and we now bring the grand children !

Why they chose this property

We loved the fact that when we get to the villa there is no need for a car , so we can just relax. The villa is on a peaceful complex with fantastic grounds , yet everything is in walking distance, including the beautiful beach, golf course and hundreds of bars and restaurant's.
We also loved the fact that it is on a complex , where there are kids clubs and kids activities and the children can easily make friends in the clubs or just in the pool.

What makes this property unique

One of the only holiday complexes in the Algarve that has a golf course (and driving range) , yet is within walking distance of the beach and nightlife.
