Pleasant Portugese Villa
This villa is perfect for visiting Portugal. There is plenty to visit within a half hour's drive. The beaches are great and the scenery is beautiful. The shops are about 20 minutes away and are well stocked.
The outside of the villa is it's best asset. The pool and upper gardens are particularly good. The views are amazing and we spent many hours reading by the pool and observing the views.
The general organisation could be better. The 'maid' didn't turn up when we arrived, so I had to telephone Isobel to get the key code, so ensure you have Isobel's number. The villa wasn't particularly clean, so we had to spend an hour cleaning the bathroom sinks and toilets and the kitchen as soon as we got in. It would have been nice to have a small welcome pack of water, milk, tea and juice (for the children). After several hours of travelling, the last thing you want to do is go shopping after you've walked through the door. My advice would be to visit the shops before you get to the villa.
The 'maid' never answered her phone when we telephoned her during the two week stay, but thankfully Isobel was able to answer our questions or sort out any problems. We got most of our local information from the visitors' book. A pack of information (like in many other villas) detailing the shops, best beaches, tourist attractions, medical facilities (just in case) etc. would have been very useful.
With a bit of organisation and planning, I could have graded this with 5 stars!
