Fantastic 12 days stay
Just back from a fantastic two week break - 8 adults. The villa is superb as is the location close to bars, restaurants and shops. A great beach about 500metres away makes for a change of scenery. The villa itself is very well equipped including large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, micro wave, washing machine, good outside seating area at the front over looking the pool and an additional area at the back off the kitchen with decent size BBQ. Interior is a little dated but to be honest we didn’t spend any time inside!!!! Can definitely recommend and will hopefully be returning.

Great stay at Jan’s villa
Jan’s villa was an excellent base for our trip and is highly recommended. The locations was extremely convenient with easy access to the beach, a shop, multiple restaurants. It was also easy to visit Albufeira and was close to the airport. The pool was warm and air conditioning was very efficient. The house was well appointed and very clean.

Nice house and location
My family stayed at Jan's house for 5 days after Christmas and we had a lovely time. The house is big enough for 7 people with a good size swimming pool but unfortunately the water was too cold whe we were there. The shops and the beach are just nearby which was a plus. The electric system might need updating as when we tried to use the hob and the kettle, the electric always tripped off. Will definitely come back again.

Away from the hustle & bustle
We had a great stay away from the hustle in Albufiera but not in a remote place - all the amenities we needed were on the door step. we could have a meal and a drink with out having to drive - Beach was only minutes away and not overcrowded. Villa was really lovely though we lived mainly around the lovely pool area! Central for all the larger resorts too!

Beautiful villa and highly recommend
This villa is in an excellent location, 45 minutes from Faro airport and with a small supermarket and some restaurants and bars with a couple of minutes walk. It's also 20 minutes in a car from Vilamoura and Albufeira old town, and roughly 15 minutes in a car to a large supermarket. The pool is fantastic and got sunlight for 12hrs of the day, and the outside BBQ area is also excellent. The property was clean and was a good size for our party of 8, and communication with the owner was easy, with quick responses. The WiFi was a little unreliable at times, so something to bear in mind, and some of the doors and floors also creaked quite a lot, which could be challenging with young children in the villa. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone

Villa Douro 2
I stumbled on the resort of Falesia which I’m so pleased I did. The area is beautiful with a very local feel to it. The villa was spacious and the pool an absolute dream where many a day was had lounging by it. The kitchen was a bit tired and would benefit from a refresh. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would definitely return to Falesia.

Great location and spacious villa
We had a lovely stay at the villa, it’s a little dated but clean and tidy. We were two families of four and there was plenty of space. We had a couple of minor issues but Jan the owner was always very responsive. The location is brilliant, next to a supermarket and several restaurants, bars, ice cream parlour and shops. Few minuets walk to the lovely beach. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Fantastic property
The property is spacious and stunning. Outside areas including pool amazing. Located close to beach and very close to supermarket, restaurants and bars. A charming area. Plenty to keep you occupied on a relaxing break but if you want bright lights and nightlife maybe go to Albufeira which is a short shuttle drive away easily booked at the tourist information office across the road. I hope to come back in the future.

The house was spacious and clean and the outside area and pool a real treat. The property is ideally located with a supermarket just metres away and a lovely square with bars and restaurants less than 5 minutes walk. The beach is around 10 mins walk and lovely and sandy. We would definitely return to the property and the area and already talking about a trip next year!

Super long weekend away with friends
This is a very spacious property with an excellent pool and sunbathing area, plenty of bathrooms and walking distance to the gorgeous Falesia beach. Having the small supermarket so close was really handy for us to pop and fetch supplies. Jan and the housekeeper were very flexible around our arrival and departure times, which was really helpful. They also responded quickly, and resolved, a small hot water problem we had one morning It would be useful if the notes about the property, facilities and local area were in English as well as German. This way we might have worked out the air conditioning system a little sooner!

A dream come true!
Me and my girl friends had a WONDERFUL long weekend at Villa Douro! Jan was quick to respond during booking and check in was simple. Almost too good to be true, we had everything we needed and only a short (& cheap) Uber into the main town of Albuferia. Cant wait to book again and go back to the beautiful Villa Douro!! Sarah

Outstanding holiday
Staying at Villa Douro with my wife, son and wife and 2 year old and daughter and husband and 1 year old has been a wonderful experience. The villa exceeded all expectations on every count. The maid comes every day so the cleanliness was first class and to have 2 high chairs and 2 travel cots provided was exceptional. The poolside furniture and outside tables chairs and parasols were plentiful and the pool itself great. Three upstairs en suite bedrooms have sun terraces and the beds are comfy. The kitchen is so spacious and well stocked and leads to a very pleasant outdoor, shaded seating area. Forget about using Intermarche, Lidl or Aldi-the local supermarket is absolutely first class and sells everything. I even managed to buy a birthday candle for a 1 year old. The bakery in there is great for fresh bread/croissants in the morning. Having a car we did go to the Lidl at Boliqueime to stock up on bottles of beer and the ‘own brand’ Castle Garcia costing 1.6euros and just as good if not better. It is called Cooperative Agricola de Felgueiras with a blue and cream label. and is a green wine with a slight fizz and not too alcoholic 9.5%. The location of the villa is brilliant and the square has restaurants and bars aplenty. We are in them all once but by far and away the best eaterie is Quinta do Mel. Leave the villa and walk through the Pine Sun Park and exit at the far end turning right down a slight hill and follow the big brown sign. Without doubt this will be the best food you have tasted on the Algarve and all at a reasonable price. Wednesday is the barbecue evening with entertainment. The walk to the beach is easy but there are a flight of stairs down to the sand and once there you can walk (easier at low tide) all the way to Olhos de Aqua named after the fresh water springs that still appear in the sand. For the first time ever I used Uber and would recommend anyone who doesn’t want to drive too much to forget about a hire car and use Uber. For example, it is about 11 euros to Albufeira and 30 to the airport. I suspect you will have got the message by now that we have all been blown away with our 10 days here in Açoteias _ we had a fantastic holiday.

Lovely villa in an excellent location
We have just returned from villa Douro 2 after spending two weeks in this truly lovely villa. We are a group of eight adults (four couples) and found the villa very spacious and well equipped. The outside areas were more than we expected and the location of the villa was excellent, an easy walk to the supermarkets, the square with lovely bars and restaurants and also the amazing Falesia beach. Getting out and about was easy too as we used taxis and buses with no problems at all. The owner Jan has been very helpful and informative when we have contacted him, always quick to respond to any question asked. A few minor things we feel could be easily rectified are regarding the bed linen and pillows which we felt need replacing but other than that we have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful villa to anyone looking for a place for a group or family holiday. We truly didn’t want our holiday to finish and hope to return again to Villa Douro 2.

Amazing spacious villa with large swimming pool and close to all amenities
We have just returned from villa Douro after a 9 day stay. 4 adults, 1 teen and 3 kids. The villa is huge!!! 4 good sized bedrooms and 5 bathrooms! It is so well equipped with everything you could ask for, so much crockery etc and BBQ to cook great meals. We had maid service nearly every day who were friendly and discreet. We had no troubles whatsoever, air conditioning was easy to use but only needed it one day as house is airy and breezy. The house could do with a little updating but that didn't matter to us. The huge positive is the pool area. Clean, large and just beautiful. We spent all 9 days relaxing there. The beach is a very short walk, bit hilly and steep for the little one in the heat but apart from that, it's stunning. We spent most evenings in the square (1 min walk) eating, drinking and enjoying some live music. Lovely buzzing atmosphere and friendly locals. The supermarket is fab, no need to go any further for one. Cheap and literally next door! Perfect! We will definitely come back here, it was wonderful for a relaxing time away.
