We had an amazing stay at this villa! The photos don't do it justice – it is absolutely beautiful. It was big enough for our group of 9 with plenty of room and never felt crowded. The pool area was gorgeous with plenty of sunbeds for us all. There is an Aldi around the corner which was very handy. Ken was a great host, super helpful and responsive from start to finish. We highly recommend this villa.

Fantastic Villa

What a fantastic, relaxing holiday.... Upon arrival everything inside and out was spotlessly clean, all beds made & clean towels in all the bathrooms. The Villa is fully equipped with everything you could possibly think of, the pool is quite big with a large terrace and has plenty of tables, chairs, sun beds & mattresses. A short walk away are various shops and restaurants, we really enjoyed our stay at Cathcal and could not have asked for a better location or facilities it was just what we needed. We will defiantly be booking again for next year.

5 star stay!!!

Villa Cathcal was perfect for our group of two families and we had a superb time there. Mrs. Lucinda was waiting for us, she was very nice and helpful throughout the entire stay. The living accommodation and bedrooms were very spacious, with plenty of sheets and clean towels, AC in all rooms. The TV system did not worked very well, maybe because the internet signal was low or bandwidth was insufficient but really during the holidays the TV is a secondary thing, although we would appreciated a better internet bandwidth. The kitchen was good, large with a big table, plenty of cutlery and crockery. The fridge had some difficulty in cooling the beverages, especially the beer, so we put them on the freezer for 10m and they were on the spot. Outdoor space was excellent, the pool is big with a large terrace and had plenty of sun beds & mattresses. We spent great time enjoying the pool. There was a barbecue area, which was also very used especially at lunch time, with a good table and plenty of chairs. The gate could have a remote control so we don’t have to get out of the car to open it. But this is a minor thing that did not made any difference in the great time we had. We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Cathcal. An excellent holiday in an excellent villa. 5 star stay!!!

Wow, lovely huge fully equipped villa

Wow! Our first impression of our holiday villa was its size, ample space for my husband and I and our two children(6 and 11) Ken and Carol the owners went out of their way to ensure our stay was wonderful, taking me to a large supermarket for a weeks shopping and escorting us to the beach, old town and marina so we could get our bearings before hiring a car, they were very kind and I cannot thank them enough. The pool,( we opted for if to be heated) patio/barbeque area (with built-in barbeque) were very well appointed and the most used areas of our stay,plenty of room for the children to run around whilst we enjoyed the sun loungers. The poolside w/c and outdoor shower were very handy , especially for the children. the pool and patio were cleaned and attended to regularly and previous guests had left lots of inflatables. Lovely large patio area with multiple areas to play or relax. The living accomodation was superb, had heating in all rooms, a well furnished lounge with large flat screen tv, Sky box (take your own Sky card), DVD player, lots of books and some childrens games. Bedrooms, very large and comfortable, with plenty of sheets and clean towels all en-suite. Downstairs bathroom (with bath) ideal for children. The kitchen was fantastic, large with a BIG table, all mod-cons, every utensil, lots of pots&pans made eating-in a pleasure. Laundry room was well used and meant we did not have to carry heavy cases of clothes for messy kids! Lucinda the cleaner did an excellent job and was very respectful, the place was constantly spotless. The villa is very secure with electric gates with a key pad security system and alarm (with a safe in needed) excellent for peace of mind. The local area has good restaurants and bars within walking distance, reasonably priced and family orientated serving snacks and child sized meals. A mini-market, 2 minutes walk away, has basic English products and freshly baked bread rolls twice daily. Larger supermarkets a short car ride away. You need a car to get to the beach, the main one is Gale and has 3 lovely restaurants with good staff, Albufeira Old Town and marina are only 8 minutes away in a car, but Ken the owner or Andy in the English office organised all of this without any fuss or extra costs that hire companies often add on, a great help and testament to their professional caring service. A brilliant holiday in a superb villa. We'll definitely be going again.

My wife Carol and myself were holidaying in our neighbouring villa Casa James at the same time as the family who wrote this review were enjoying their stay in the villa Casa Cathcal.It was an absolute privilege to meet them,not only the adults but two delightful children as well and we thank them for leaving our villa in immaculate condition and will be always welcomed back. Ps We have left our own sky viewing card ,so clients do not need to take one.

Great Family Holiday

My partner and I and our three children stayed at Villa Cathcal in May and had a brilliant time.The villa is so quiet but only a hundred yards or so from the nearest shops and restaurants. All of the restaurants are good quality too! The villa is spotless, and has loads of space. The rooms are all very generous in size, and there’s everything you might need. Lots of wardrobe space too. There is a lovely kitchen with all mod cons, and the air conditioning and heated pool make this place even more enjoyable. You can also keep an eye on the children because the villa has locked gates, which is very re-assuring. (what a sensible idea). Villa Cathcal is a delightful holiday villa and we wouldn't hesitate to return. Lisa Bell & family
