Sesmarias holiday villa

We are just back from our holiday and would say we were over the moon with the villa, the photos don't do the property justice as it really is lovely. There is plenty of room and the pool is a great size, a little cold though although we didn't choose the heated option. The management were very efficent and were over to us in 10 minutes when we had a problem with the hot water. You do need to do some of you own research on the surrouning area before you go as there is very little information in the villa, also in my opinion a car is a neccessity as the supermarket that you can walk to is quite expensive as it caters for tourists and the local restarants aren't the best and you may want to go a little further. The roads are well sign posted and is is easy to find your way around. Locally there are a few dogs that seem to have a free run and seem quite snappy. There is a market at Loule on Saturday for food and a gypsy market, fruit and veg here was really good and very good value. Nice retail parkin Gaio, and go karting a little further along.Carveiro is a bit run down and shabby, not how it looks on the internet, we only walked through it once and didn't go back.
The views from the villa are amazing, especially in the evening, the villa is spotelessly clean and the pool and gardens are realy well maintained and very pretty.
