Rural authentic house, difficult to locate (a signpost would be helpful) and parking space very difficult to access (if you’ve been used to James/Solmar Villas it’s not really like that). Kitchen very well equipped but oven difficult to use because no manual and control knobs had no visible markings; hob moved during use. Fridge/freezer badly in need of defrosting. A/C in living room but not very effective in bedroom. We had issues with general lack of cleanliness. Also with dirty or broken kitchenware on arrival which Natalia helped with promptly. Initial comms excellent; subsequent (when we had a problem with the pool) not so much so. Natalia did compensate us for the inconvenience. We felt the pool and house were not cleaned or maintained adequately. Recommend all comms are via Vrbo chat. We had safety concerns with emissions from the boiler in the kitchen (Natalia assured OK), and the electrics generally in the house. Bathroom not clean enough and needs re-modelling. Bed was very comfortable. Wardrobes in bedroom very old/uninviting. Expect loose rugs/heavy narrow doors. Not enough available power points (only found 2). Information on recycling would have been helpful. Pics on Vrbo of the interior don’t seem recent. In summary, we have stayed 15 times in a wide variety of villas in the Algarve, so have a fair experience of country properties there, but this wasn’t in the same category as any of those. It is priced competitively, but don’t expect a typical “villa rental"
