We had a great time at the villa, very spacious. We were 3 generations so it worked well. Great location. Some of the pool area needs updated or fixing but didn’t stop us using it. Lovely place would stay again.

Excellent, modern villa in quaint location

Brilliant base for playing golf - kitted out with everything you could need. Villa was immaculate in terms of cleanliness, beds comfortable (even those in the basement). Really nice location in the old village, close to plenty bars and also very walkable to the marina. Communication from host was also spot on. 10/10 hope to return soon.

Family holiday

We were a party of 9, from ages 17-56. We had a wonderful stay at casa Oakdene. Couldn’t fault the property and location. Having en suites to all bedrooms was fantastic, rooms were spacious and beds extremely comfortable. Living areas also very spacious. Outdoor areas were fabulous, plenty of sun and shade if needed. Also having pool towels included was brilliant, less items to pack. Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely book again. Thank you so much

Great location, great host and well looked after villa.

Communication and helpfulness from the host was fantastic. Dan was very accommodating with early check in and late check out - this was very much appreciated when travelling with infants. Villa was a great location and enjoyable walk to marina, but if needed Ubers were only a 7 minute trip. We were there as a group of friends for a wedding and the wedding venue was in the old village , again only minutes away by foot. We stay in villas regularly, and this villa stood out with great customer support from the host and a very well looked after property. Villa was well equipped and had everything we needed. The surroundings and exterior parts of the villa were beautiful! Would absolutely return, thank you so much for a memorable stay.

Fabulous

We had an amazing family holiday. The villa was bigger than expected. The photos do not do it justice. It was very private , felt very secure and in a lovely quiet road. Short walk to local bars and restaurants and we used the little bakery almost daily. We had a supermarket delivery the day we arrived which was so useful. We walked down to the vibrant marina and beach a few times took about 20-30 minutes but we found uber taxis so reliable and cheap we used them too. From the moment I booked this villa Dan was available to answer questions and changed our dates with no problem at all.the men found the golf courses amazing so us ladies were able to really relax by the lovely pool .

Clean and comfotable. Well equipped. Lovely warm pool. Longer walk than expected to the marina, but taxis were cheap. The "Old Village" is a misnomer, the area was fairly modern, though pleasant.

Family holiday

We all really enjoyed our stay in Casa Oakdene, it was located in a quiet residential area which was perfect for us. There were a few places locally to eat and a handy little supermarket for everyday bits and pieces. We ate out a couple of times at the marina but just enjoyed a very relaxed holiday. The villa itself was beautiful, all bedrooms were a good size all with en suites too. It was also brilliant for little ones with the safety fence around the pool and stair gates. Dan was very accommodating providing two travel cots and a high chair too. I would definitely recommend Casa Oakdene to anyone looking for family holiday in a gorgeous villa - we would all definitely come back again

Excellent stay

Clean spacious villa, the basement room was ideal for our 14 & 10 year old. Any issues on both sides were rectified promptly & we had good communication with the owner who was very responsive. The villa was as described, situated in the old town Vilamoura away from the hustle & bustle of the marina, which was a 20 minute walk away. We would definitely return.

There were 6 adults and 2 Children, the Villa had everything we needed and the children and adults enjoyed the games in the basement. We used the pool and BBQ constantly and we were all sad to be going home after such a fantastic week.

Very relaxing

The villa met all our expectations. During the day we could relax by the pool or play table tennis in the basement. The shops and bars as well as the beach were very easy to reach. The arrival was very easy, as was the departure. Although we had to leave a little earlier than planned because of our flight, we would have been allowed to leave our luggage in the yard for a few hours after consultation. In general we were all very satisfied with the villa.
