Lovely quaint little house in a perfect location 2 mins to the beach Nice restaurants nearby but also a good supermarket a short drive away so we ate on the terrace a few nights with the sound of the waves in the distance looking out over mature gardens.

Loved this villa!

This is such a great little villa, the perfect size for 2 of us but you could easily stay here with kids too. The location is amazing, you’re a few minutes walk from the Praca and have a great sea view. The terrace at the front and on the roof are great for sunbathing and relaxing, you’ve got everything here you could possibly need, we can highly recommend a stay here!

Our stay at the little house by the sea

We had a really great stay … the house is a real gem, well configured, beautiful terrace, great location ( 5 min walk to beach), down the street from two great golf courses, fantastic property manager and housekeeping staff. We also appreciate Ema giving a lot good information to check in and enjoy the area. We intend on returning to continue enjoying the Algarve area, its people and food.

Lovely villa

This little villa was well equipped but still charmingly rustic, Vale de Lobos is an exceptional community. We were there in the off season so we could not take advantage of all of the amenities but we thoroughly enjoyed the restaurants and bars. Ema was quick To answer any of our queries, we would stay again and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely retreat.

September break

This is a charming rental with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. It was quiet and peaceful and within easy reach of the beach. The terraces were lovely for meals and relaxing. It is possible to take a very pleasant walk to Vilmoura along the coast. Just a note that the swimming pool advertised/pictured is only available by paying a, rather expensive, daily rate.
