This is my recomendation.....

Review Submitted: November 7, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
Beautiful property. Very high quality furnishings. Extremely clean. Owners Shaun & Jackie have made this into a luxurious home not just a rental property. Very spacious inside and out, including several verrandas and terraces, well maintained and lusciously green relaxing gardens. Delightful location and position, not overlooked, complete privacy with excellent views.

There were 6 in our party, 2 disabled, very easy and plenty of space, it would comfortable suit two families holidaying together. It was perfect for all of us. It was so huge, you wouldn't know that the Shaun and Jackie were actually on the property, but they were on hand, genuine and helpful if and when we needed anything.
Keeping this review honest and short as time never on my side, honestly if I had more time - I would still be in the villa !

Thank you Shaun & Jackie.

Perfect relaxation

Review Submitted: November 6, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
This was the perfect holiday. The villa was great, nice and spacious as there were only three of us, and so relaxing, we nearly lost our selves, also a perfect location for the race track, which we could hear the bikes practicing from (and Alvor, which surprised us, fantastic). It was great looking out over the rural landscape enjoying the peace and quiet. We are now looking to return next year.

Absolutley top notch!

Review Submitted: August 24, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
I have just returned from a 10 day stay at this wonderful villa. My family and another (which included 2 x 12 yr olds and 2 x 14 yr olds) spent our holiday enjoying this spacious and very well equiped villa. It was spotlessly clean and the fixtures and fittings were well above average for your normal holiday rental.

Lots of extras made the villa that bit more special, for example huge bean bag beds which can be used inside and out, ample outside rattan seating on balcony, BBQ and huge outside table were all of excellent quality. The owners also left us puzzles, chess, magazines to use and I found the computer handy to look up local telephone numbers and directions on the internet.

The kitchen was really well equiped with pots, pans, tupperware, filter coffee machine and large fridge freezer. There were also lots of sets of glasses and tumblers together with plastic plates and glasses which were useful to use around the pool. It was also great to have a fullsize oven and dishwasher. In the kitchen we used the breakfast table which easily sat 8 to eat breakfast and lunch. There isnt a photo of the kitchen on the website..take it from me its massive.

The pool was big and the view was great, we didnt feel hemmed in like you can do sometimes on more commercial developments. The supermarket was about a 5/10 min drive away and supplied all of our day to day needs. The owners left a very comprehensive welcome brochure which reccommended some restaurants and places to visit, we found that we were reading this every day and went out most evenings trying different places to eat.

We ventured out to a few local beaches and spent one day at nearby Aqualand which we found clean and well maintained.

The villa certainly exceeded our expectations and was alot bigger than we thought. The high quality of the furniture and the accessories gave it a really homely feel.

After dinner most evenings we retreated to the villa for a family DVD, we loved slouching in the lounge in front on the large flat screen TV. In fact I would love to know where the sofa is from because I want one!

I would not hesitate to reccomend this villa to my friends or family although it is such good find I might keep it quiet........

WONDERFUL VILLA (ALSO VERY SUITABLE FOR DISABLED)

Review Submitted: May 31, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
We have had a superb 2 weeks holiday in this lovely villa. Having a disabled person as one of our party, we found the access to all areas of the villa, including the pool,to be excellent. Shaun & Jackie had been so helpful with any of our special requests. Easy bathrooms and showers.
The wonderful terrace (now newly enlarged) with so many comfy chairs to choose from, the only problem was deciding which one to sit in!!
The area is so quiet yet not far to shops and resaurants.
The villa is very well equiped and if like us you can't manage without your emails, then the internet is invaluable!! and the pool, what can I say except it's lovely.
Another of our party has to have kidney dialysis while on holiday, the kidney dialysis unit in Portimao (only 10 to 15 minutes from the villa) is excellent and booking dialysis is so easy. If anyone is interested Shaun or Jackie has our telephone number and we would be pleased to let you know how to go about booking the dialysis.
To have Shaun & Jackie so near is lovely, but equally they are extremely unobtrusive.
We can't recommend this villa enough, we are returning for another 2 weeks in September.

Wonderful Family Holiday

Review Submitted: May 6, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
We have just returned from a 10 day stay at the villa and it was one of our best holidays ever, we were all sad to leave yesterday and have already arranged to return next year.

This was our first holiday with our 2 year old son and we didn't know what to expect but the villa was perfect and he loved every minute. The villa and surrounding area were more than we expected, the photos don't do it justice. The living space was huge but you can't help but spend all your time outside in one of the many comfy sitting areas.

I can't really comment on the local attractions as we didn't stray much further than the local supermarket (which is about 5 minutes drive away). We have been to Alvor before and just wanted a relaxing holiday with family and friends.

Thanks to Shaun and Jackie for sharing there wonderful property and being the perfect hosts, always contactable if you need information, help or advice but never intrusive.
