Had such a great stay here. The villa was clean, spacious and had everything we needed for a family of 5. Keith was very responsive and all the information he provided made everything really easy. Great location within the resort but would recommend a car.

Hi Julie. I am so pleased that you had a great time and that the Villa was presented so well. Vale do Lobo do a great job. I always rent a car myself and you can often shop around and find good rates, I like the convenience of it. However I am also a big fan of Uber at the villa as their prices are so competitive. Also Vale do Lobo sell Family Cards which can give you access to the Resort Bus.
We look forward to welcoming you back.
We have been going to The Algarve for a long time now and renting villas but have to say this was the best one we have ever stayed in. A great location, overlooking the golf course, a lovely pool, sun all day long, beautiful furniture throughout. I cannot say enough good things about this place, we would love to stay here again if the oppyarose.

We have just returned from a lovely stay at the Villa. The Villa is very well equipped, the kitchen has all you need. Wifi worked perfectly, 3 adults and a child using it with no issues. If you do not hire a car uber works great and is very reasonable. You will need to use an uber from reception to the villa as its a bit of a walk. The pool is great, ideal for little ones and adults. Our 2 yr old granddaughter spent 2 hours in it just floating with her armbands :).

Thanks for the review Karen. I am so pleased you enjoyed the Villa. Remarkably quite a few walk to the shop. Personally I always rent a car and as you said Uber out there is great and very reasonably priced. Also if you procure a resort card from Vale do Lobo you can use the bus as well.
We hope to see you again soon.
Great property. Well appointed. Good communication with owner. The owner provides a lot of information about the property, community, and general area. We loved the area.

The property is in an ideal location on the edge of the golf course and close to the main reception and shops.
A pleasant walk through the golf course to the beach was a daily delight. The villa is spacious and well kept, clean and with all the amenities and equipment needed. I'll be back!

We thought that the villa was perfect for our break in the sun. The Villa was very clean, very good features within, and great for getting the sun throughout the day.
Great communication and instructions
Two great golf courses and some tennis lessons to add to making a successful trip.

The villa has a very homely feel about it and it is very beautiful. It is situated in a perfect location. We were a group of 5 ladies and we used Uber to get around which was very reasonable. Keith the owner of the villa was very approachable and always got an instant reply when we contacted him. If you are looking for a perfect villa I would highly recommend it.

Great holiday at villa folly. Situated at the NW corner of val do lobo just beside the ocean golf course in a private development of properties. Spacious house; bigger than expected. Clean and relatively modern. Air con. Big new tv. Large lounge. Great pool and loungers; perfect size pool for us as we had small children. Shops walkable but we had a car which was useful in the heat of summer. Great communication from Keith. Hopefully we will return.

Superb accommodation, excellent location, great host
Extremely well equipped house, it has everything you could need. Great BBQ and outdoor area, nice clean pool, loads of loungers. We didn't heat the pool in early April and it was fine - lovely and refreshing after being out in the sun.
Beautiful and clean area very close to loads of excellent places to eat and visit.
Excellent communication with the host.
Top marks all round!

Mike, thank you for a great review, we have tried to make the Villa a great place for all our guests. The Algarve weather and the Portuguese restaurants does all the rest. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Great villa, beautifully kept, great amenities. Have stayed in VDL many times and this was certainly one of the best. Lots of space both inside and out, plenty of seating in the villa, large outdoor area with sun loungers and large table and chairs. Great to have a barbecue as well. Having had a couple of questions with the owner he came back to us with answers almost immediately. Will stay again and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for an upmarket stay in Vale Do Lobo.

Thank you so much for the review. We have tried our best to make it a great villa and a great place to stay and your review makes it all worthwhile. See you again, soon, I hope.
We have been visiting family in Vale Do Lobo for 25 years. This was the first time that we rented a property so it felt like a leap of faith. Straight away Keith's communication content and communication style provided comfort and put me at ease. The villa is a peaceful spot and had everything we needed for a family of four. We had a very comfortable stay and a great week in this excellent property.

Thank you for such a lovely review - delighted you enjoyed the villa, resort and maid service and that our communications before you arrived enabled a smooth and relaxing stay. It will be our pleasure to welcome you back!
Lovely villa with a lot of space for the whole family. Nice terrace with a pool which a large enough to have fun for the kids and to jump in for a quick refreshment. Even if you decide to stay at the villa Folly for a day just to read your book or doing nothing at all you'll feel energised at the end of the day. All equipment worked very well. Large kitchen to prepare meals. Lovely walk through the golf area of 20 minutes to go to the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Mr Keith Spengler
Hi there, this is my family - I have two daughters, Fern and Holly, (hence the name Villa Folly) and am now blessed with three beautiful granddaughters, Ruby, Nelly and Poppy - who arrived in August 2020! It would appear that we do not do boys! We all live in Oxfordshire and try to have an annual break together at Villa Folly which is our second home. I am now retired - but lead a very busy life with golf typically at the centre of it - particularly when we are at the villa! I also do Spinning which has helped to keep me as fit as I am, particularly during lock down, when I have used Zoom to join my classes in Portugal with my local spinning and health instructor (I would highly recommend her whilst you are at the villa). It is important to us that our guests enjoy our second home as we do and to this end we endeavour to do everything possible to ensure they have a happy and relaxing holiday whilst there.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with the Algarve after a friend took took me there for a weekend golfing trip. The villa is our second home. We bought it off plan and when it was built we were not disappointed. The area is beautiful and quiet yet close to all the amenities. It has been fitted to a modern standard with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and plenty of living space. My family and I think there is no where better to enjoy the weather and relax.
What makes this property unique
I absolutely love Vale do Lobo and the location of the villa in Val das Flores. Even during the peak holiday season it is lovely and quiet. The outside area is mainly patio and pool. Outside dining is near to the kitchen and also has a great BBQ. Both upstairs bedrooms have their own private patios for you to relax in as well and from the master bedroom patio you have views across the 8th tee of the Ocean Golf Course to the sea in the distance. It is heaven.
