Great location and leafy green place with nice pool wish there was central ac for very warm days. But overall very responsive and helpful owner who quickly resolves problems. Well behaved neighbours

Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with us.
I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay.
Just to clarify for future guests:
the villa has two air-conditioning units (in the master bedroom and the living room), and every bedroom is equipped with a fan to ensure good airflow, also on warmer days.
Thank you again for your feedback — you are always welcome back!
Warm regards,

The villa is in a great location with a south facing very sunny pool/garden and terraces. It overlooks the practice range of Pinhall golf course and a 100 paces from 2 of the best restaurants in Vilamoura. There are shops and a few bars 15 mins away in Old Vilamoura and you can walk to the Marina in 30 mins.The beds were super comfy, the villa is spotlessly clean and Maria the cleaner makes sure of that. We were there as a couple for a month with our dogs and the villa has all you need, very fast internet and a VPN made sure we could watch Sky on the TV. It's relaxed well located and Michaela a great host.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the sunny pool area, the garden and the view — and that the location worked so well for you. It’s great to know you felt comfortable for an entire month and had everything you needed.
Maria will be very happy about your kind words — she cares a lot about keeping the villa spotless.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
You’re always welcome back — with your dogs too!
Warm regards,
Michaela
Traditional Villa overlooking the golf course.Michaela was very attentive and communicated brilliantly responding to all requests throughout.We loved the traditional style of the design downstairs and the beuatiful flowers outside by the swinging chair. The pool was a perfect size! The bedrooms were a little outdated in decor.There was one bedroom with aircon. We went during a mini heatwave and we all coped fine. Maria, cleaner, was lovley and went above and beyond what we expected, hanging our washed clothes out and taking the bins out. Overall we thought it was very good value for money. Only think we could criticise is that we could not get the showers to work at a steady warm temperature, it was either freezing or boiling. I would book there again without a doubt.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The villa is a nice set up and the location is great. The pool is nice and it’s a private setting.Some rooms have been modernised and are very nice. You can walk to some shops/restaurants, especially the lovely restaurant at the end of the road. The balcony is lovely and gorgeous views of the golf course at sun set, a set of chairs/table is needed to appreciate it as the sofa is too small for that size villa. There a few things that need to be improved:Some of the cutlery/plates weren’t clean and had to be washed before first use.There are quite a lot of ants near the pool, not a major issue but could be attended to.The manual in the villa is out of date and needs updating.The limited aircon in two rooms is insufficient during height of summer, especially as the room with the cot was not temperature controlled. The host was very communicative via WhatsApp, but not through Vrbo. Unfortunately communication about check out was not to standard, and there was incorrect check out times given to the cleaning lady who was very unfriendly. A washing machine was delivered with 2 cleaners and 2 delivery men all in the villawhile we were trying to eat breakfast before checkout, with no prior warning and with a baby we felt uncomfortable. This spoiled the end of our trip and could have been avoided with better communication. Before this incident, I would have considered returning. As long as you’re clear on check out and communication I’m sure you’ll have a pleasant stay.

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing what you enjoyed — the location, the privacy at the pool and especially the beautiful sunset view from the balcony. We’re glad these parts of your stay were memorable.
I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience on your departure day.
The washing machine broke unexpectedly during your stay, and we arranged a replacement as quickly as possible. The delivery was planned to happen while the cleaners were in the house, between check-out and the next check-in, so that you wouldn’t be disturbed. Unfortunately, this coordination did not work out as agreed, and the delivery team arrived earlier than expected. I understand that this was uncomfortable, especially with a baby, and I apologize sincerely.
Thank you also for the helpful remarks regarding other improvements. We have already taken action on these points.
We appreciate your honesty — feedback like yours helps us improve the experience for future guests. Thank you for still acknowledging the positive parts of your experience.
If you ever decide to give us another chance, please message me directly — I would love to welcome you back and make sure your stay is smooth and wonderful from start to finish.
Kind regards,
Michaela
