Nice, spacious house and friendly host

The house is located on a golf resort (which we did not know), but the house and garden are very nice. The house has some character, is spacious and has everything you need. The pool is great. The host is very nice and I would definitely recommend this place for your holiday!

Thank you for your positive review. All bathrooms have been refurbished with newest standards in the last 2 years. Aircons are new. The kitchen has new fridge, oven, dishwasher, washing machine etc. many of our clients who come for many years love the original massive wooden kitchen. We were thinking of replacing it but decided against . We like to keep the traditional Portuguese character of the house and our clients appreciate the uniqueness of casa Asylma.

Fun in the Sun

The property is ideally situated for access to shops, beach and restaurants. Whilst the property is a bit dated there is everything you need to be able to cook and enjoy the facilities. The pool is lovely and a great space for swimming and children to enjoy. The main bathroom has been updated and bedrooms are roomy worth good wardrobe space.

Der Colin, Thanks for your comments. Honestly,we are quite shocked you felt our villa smell,unclean. We never got such feedback before. Our maid service prepares entire villa prior to arrival of guests for several hours that's why we are surprised about this feedback. We are very sorry about this inconvenience and will do our utmost to avoid such feeling from our guests again. Thank you

Holiday 2025

Very spacious villa for living and bedroom needs, with good facilities overall. BBQ would have been preferred (Hoping we didn't miss it!) and kitchen area - whilst had everything we needed, it was just a little dated with regard the cupboard spaces. Management company very responsive, cleaning staff, gardener and pool attendant all very polite and efficient.

A true "Home Away"

The house is wonderful, a true "Home Away". Fully equipped with everything you could wish for. The location is great, close to the clubhouse of Vale do Lobo, in a quiet neighborhood. The contact with the owners was very friendly and they were very cooperative to help in any way. Thank you very much for your kind hospitality! We hope to be able to return to this beautiful house soon!

The loveliest Villa we have ever stayed in!

We don’t normally travel to Portugal in April but we needed a break after a harsh winter. The villa was situated in a lovely, quiet setting but also within walking distance of the golf Club and the Praça. It was lovingly and comfortably furnished and it felt like staying in a friend’s home. Having the pool, the terrace and the garden meant that each member of the family could find their own personal oasis to relax, sunbathe or work. We hope to return again as it was definitely the loveliest villa we have ever stayed in ♥️

We have enjoyed a most wonderful week in your lovely house. It is situated perfectly - on a quiet one way road but also within walking distance of the club reception, golf courses and the local shop. The house had plenty of space and was perfect for a family holiday. And the garden and pool were an additional bonus.

Lovely Family Home

We were impressed from our arrival at Vale do Lobo. The area is beautiful. Then we got to the villa and were even more impressed. It's obviously a well loved and enjoyed family villa. We loved the years, the space, the pool, everything was great. Unfortunately we had to leave a day early and wished we didn't but such is life. This was a fabulous way to end our 1 month European trip for our 25th anniversary. Thanks for letting us use your villa!

Wonderful stay

We’ve been coming to Vale do Lobo for years and still love it. The resort has a lovely feel to it. Excellent places to eat and drink, super beach, very clean and many fab villas to dream about owning! Casa Asylma didn’t disappoint. It was everything promised in the description and other reviews were accurate. Spacious, clean, full of everything needed for a 2 week holiday and extremely well located in central Vale do Lobo. Our kids loved the pool and spent loads of time jumping in and out of it. I’d highly recommend the villa and the resort.

Amazing stay in Vale de Lobo

This property was perfect for us, downstairs bedroom and bathroom was perfect for me in the wheelchair. I asked the villa management company if they could recommend a place to hire needed mobility aids and when we checked in, everything I had mentioned that I would need had been delivered to the villa. Pool was great, spent most days lazing on a lilo and then just a twenty minute walk (wheel) to the local bars and restaurants. The villa had everything we needed and we will 100% be back, Thanks Vivie.

Three generation stay

Peaceful location, with the most comfortable beds I’ve stayed in in the Algarve. Other than no bbq everything was provided that we needed and my under 2 grandson loved the tiny chairs and the truck to play with. The kitchen is old but all the appliances are up to date so no problem to us. The two bathrooms are obviously new too. We had a lovely stay

Fantastic House

Vale do Lobo as always been my favorite place. This house is situated in what i consider to be one of the best areas in VDL; close to the beach and Praça, but without all the fuss and noise. 3 great rooms and a 4th one that was improvised but it suits very well. Good living room with fair internet connection and cable TV. A/C in all rooms which is a must if you want a good night's sleep in the Algarve (in the summer...). Outside area is very good with an excelente pool and lots of space. Great House overall.
