I did a lot of research in looking for our holiday , I wanted somewhere secluded and with a pool and wanted the villa to be very spacious, I found this one and noticed the owners were from England and after numerous email tennis back and forward with loads of questions and photos back etc we decided to book it as it sounded just what we wanted,
Few weeks before we were due to go we recieved directions and keys etc , on arrival at Faro airport, we picked up car hassle free and followed the easy directions to the villa
on approaching the gates we were very impressed of the location and privacy of the villa , on opening the door WOW the spacious cleaniness of the villa was 10/10 ...3 bedrooms , kitchen , dining room/ lounge and 3 toilets , every room had patio doors that opened onto the pool area and behind the pool a large garden ,
This was my first time driving abroad which resulted in my car door mirror havin an argument with a wheely bin and coming off second best , I contacted the police on 7 diff numbers but due to my strong scottish accent they couldnt understand me , I contacted the owner in England and within 30 mins I had the portugese caretaker of the villa at the door who contatced the police and stayed till they arrived to translate , I honestly dont know what I would have done without this help
THe owner is also very helpful as theres loads of maps and a guest book with places to go, places to eat etc
The nearest Town is called Paderne which is about 2.5 km from the villa by car or 10km if your walking lol , its superb as its not in the tourist part and very quiet just what the dr ordered :)
who wants to go to main towns when you have your own pool and total seclusion, we went to a few main towns and couldnt wait to get back
All the locals are very friendly and always acknowledge you
For the record on holidays if theres a problem I,m the biggest complainer , this holiday i,m speechless and all credit to the friendly owners
many thanx for a superb holiday
