A family getaway
Review Submitted: April 5, 2009

What a wonderful place to stay. It was our first trip abroad with our son, who was just under 2 at the time, and we wanted somewhere safe, convenient, relaxing, and with plenty of activities to do indoors and out. Faro Airport is only about 30mins by car away from the villa, and we found it very easy to hire a minibus at a car hire company located at the airport (there are many to choose from). Having never driven abroad before I was obviously a little concerned about driving, but the roads are good and the villa is pretty easy to locate. The villa comfortably sleeps 6 people. We had 5 adults and one child, and fitted in very nicely. Overall the facilities are great, with loads of space and a very large kitchen. There is a plentiful supply of information available, including books on the local area, maps, information about places to eat etc. Childrens equipment is also provided by the owner. The garden is well arranged, with a pool area, a sunny veranda just outside, and an outdoor BBQ. With Tavira very close by, and a great fishmarket, we made great use of the BBQ and often ate outdoors. The villa is set in the small village of San Estavao, which has some good facilities i.e. shop, cashpoint, and a small bar/restaurant. Tavira is a lovely fishing town, with great restaurants and some good shops. It's about 10 minutes drive from the villa, and is pretty straightforward to get too. For those wanting to travel further and explore more the villa is ideally placed, and next to one of the main connecting roads in the region. Overall, we had a lovely time and would strongly recommend Vila Verde to all. We'll be visiting again, without doubt.
Owner's Response: In the current financial climate, we believe it important to ensure that our guests receive value for their expenditure and leave with happy memories of their stay at Villa Verde; we also try to supply that little bit extra to ensure their comfort while staying at the villa.
