Just back from 9 night stay at Villa. The villa is in a great location with respect to distance to the local area. A comfortable stroll to the marina, the old town and quarteria so plenty of options. Our hosts Carlos / Ana were very good with communication and information when we booked, prior to arriving and during our stay. We found the villa exactly as described. Its a traditional villa with everything you need. We found the villa to be clean throughout. As only 2 of us where staying there we used the downstairs space but upstairs has a great space with 2 bedrooms that you access one through the other and a large outside balcony.Downstairs space is roomy, comfortable and has a large kitchen with everything you need. Separate outside laundry room is also available as well as a bbq area. Outside area great with sun on the back and a great sized pool. Looking forward to going back soon!Thank you Carlos & Ana we had a great time

Friendly, understanding and respectful guests. I recommend it without reservation to any owner. The best.
We were very happy with the level of comfort and tranquility provided by this spacious villa. Additionally, the convenient location and responsive communication with the Host made our stay particularly enjoyable and relaxing. We were sad to leave. Would 100% recommend!
This is an excellent accommodation for anyone wishing to stay within walking distance of Vilamoura Marina and beach. Our arrival, check in and communication with the host was very smooth and we were able to arrive sooner than advertised check in which was a big help due to flight times. The property took the 6 of us (3 adult couples) easily with an additional room to spare. All rooms were spacious with either en suite or bathroom next door. The kitchen was big and well equipped. It had a small table but there was a large indoor table and outdoor one for us all to eat at. The pool was clean and not too cold given that we arrived in April. There were plenty seats and loungers and we were provided with lots of towels. The laundry was a big help for washing and drying. The villa itself is a traditional villa with lovely garden. There is good security, alarm and a safe. We used Bolt taxis at least daily, but they were never more than 5 and more often than not we walked to the marina or local Spar which had everything we needed. We’d recommend trying the crazy golf locally, the water park and of course the numerous bars and restaurants around the marina.
Well maintained and very clean villa in a fantastic location. Better than it looks in the photographs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very quiet and private yet a 10 minute walk to the marina.
We had a lovely stay at the Villa. It contained everything we needed, spotlessly clean and cleaner attended twice a week too.WiFi coverage was a bit patchy but spent most of our time in the large and quiet outside area. There is a good size pool and plenty of loungers with cushions for them which was a nice touch. There is sun around the pool all day, although the pool itself is in shade for quite a lot of the day.Great location, a genuine 15-20 minutes stroll to the Marina and surrounding area. Great choice of restaurants.Comms with the Villa owner were good and straight forward, we’d very happily stay again.Thank you Carlos and Ana.
Villa is lovely, spacious, clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Pool and garden area are great, in a really nice, quiet location 20 minutes walk to the marina and only 10 minutes from nearest supermarket. Highly recommended.
Lovely villa in a quiet area but within walkable distance of Marina & shops. Very clean & pool area amazing. Had a slight problem with hot water but was resolved very promptly. Would definitely recommend staying here. We had a great time 😎
Great property, photos don’t do it justice. Pool very well maintained and great for kids. Bedrooms comfortable and well sized. Break out areas well equipped with good wi-fi. Would love to return next year.
Villa was as advertised with all modern convivences supplied, a well stocked kitchen, air con in all bedrooms and the sitting room area was very nice.
Outside pool area very well maintained and nice amount of seating, pool good size, location perfect for walking or touring the rest of the surrounding areas from Faro to Portimão, enjoyed our stay very much.
This is our repeat 2nd year at Villa Merlo and we have again had an amazing holiday with family (9 of us) sharing the Villa
Great authentic Portuguese property
Stunning pool and sun trap, and best of all a 10 minute walk or €4 Euro taxi into vilamoura marina
Jose is a great host and is really good to deal with
Already booked this villa again for summer 2020 👍

Mr. Brain e sua familia são os hóspedes ideais. Gente amável, generosa e de confiança. Fico feliz que a nossa moradia tenha proporcionado umas boas férias a esta simpática família. Espero corresponder da mesma forma no próximo ano. Bom ano de trabalho e até para ao próximo Verão.
Obrigado por tudo
Don't hesitate to book Villa Merlo! We are returning from a 3 week stay which was just perfect for a family, great location, very spacious and the villa had everything we needed. Very attentive hosts. Would highly recommend and we will definitely return
The villa was perfect for us (5 adults). The location was good, very quiet estate just a 20 minute walk to the harbour, perfect for eating out and an 8 minute drive to a fabulous beach. The pool is a good size and very well maintained. We used the BBQ one night, worked well. 5 min walk to the local supermarket. Communication with the owners was excellent.Would definitely consider rebooking.
The house was clean and nice, fancy neighborhood and good wak of max 30min to the beach. Communication was easy with the owner. So everything was perfect, we had a really nice time and loved the pool ❤️
We loved the villa, gardens and pool, the area was really lovely too. The villa was spacious and the kitchen well equipped. We had a cleaner arrive on the Tuesday and change of towels. We had a couple of minor issues which were promptly dealt with by the owner. The only thing we would suggest is a small welcome pack so that we could have a drink and a quick bite to eat whilst waiting for our shopping to arrive.
It is a very well equipped property with space inside the house and in its garden and pool area. It is great for relaxing or having fun with the children. It also has a good location, near the marina and in a nice neighborhood.
As a plus, at the middle of the week the house was cleaned and the pool treated.
Regarding the communication with the property manager, I must say that everything was quick, clear and smooth.

Excelentes hóspedes. Correção máxima em todos os aspectos e fácil comunicação.
The property was easy to find and in a great location. The town was only a 15 minute walk away. The listing doesn't do it justice as it was Huge! Plenty of room for the 5 of us with a large pool. The villa had everything you need apart from a dustpan and brush or indoor broom. This would make it alot easier to clean up when you have a mishap. A cleaner came halfway through the week and was friendly and did a thorough clean. We would definitely recommend this traditional villa to everyone!
Fantastic property, perfect location. From start to finish great communication with host. Cot & high chair both supplied by host. Villa is very well set out & very spacious. The pool is amazing, was cleaned every morning by local guy, property also cleaned with towel change mid stay. Kitchen is very well stocked for cooking big family meals. We were a family party of 7 + a baby & we all loved everything about the villa & hope to return. Lovely walk to local spa for fresh fish & meat. Again a lovely walk to marina both during the day and on an evening where it really comes to life with lots of live music and busy restaurants.
We arrived on 10th Oct 23 for a 10 night stay at the Villa Merlo, 6 adults all over 50. The villa was just as advertised, spacious and clean, lovely pool area and gardens, and very close to the shops and Vilamoura Marina.
Carlos / Ana were always available by message if required and couldn’t have been more helpful. We would definitely recommend this Villa to anyone wanting a relaxing time away.
Some useful info: Uber taxis were here within 2 mins usually, a Spar and Krunchy Kream coffee and doughnuts within 5-10 min walk and Intermarche another 5 mins further, with the marina another 5 minutes further on.
Only drawback we found was (and nothing to do with the Villa) there was a lot of mosquitoes about and we definitely had to buy insect repellent and cortisone cream.
