1st time for us in Portugal, had a fantastic holiday! Communication from Nuno was excellent, check in & out a breeze. The Villa is as you see on the photo's, really nice & well mantained, the gardeners came once during our stay and the pool guy comes every week, cleaners came half way through to change the bedding etc. You do need a car or some form of transport, it is not miles out just a bit far to walk to shops etc. The main shopping centre is only 5 minutes drive in the car and Albufiera old town is 15 mins. We did have a car but used UBER for the nights when we wanted to drink, around 8 euro's into the old town, very reasonable. The villa has everything you need, I bought a new kettle as the old one was tripping the electrics, We left the kettle in the villa as it was easier than contacting Nuno for a new one, enjoy your new kettle :) Our only recommendation would be to upgrade the fridge freezer, the current one is too small for a family, old and really struggles if you load it up (teenage boys drink alot...) I still give this villa and Nuno top marks!, if you are looking for somewhere not too far out of town, quiet and peaceful, not too far from the main shopping centre this villa is the one for you.
