Family holiday

This property was exactly what was described, and what we were hoping for. It felt like a family home which was perfect. We felt comfortable there and wished we had stayed longer. We love the area and Santo Antonio complex. The host was attentive and helped with lots of information for our stay.

A wonderful family holiday

The villa was superb, spacious and very comfortable. The temperature of the pool was just perfect. The addition of an electric pool cover was very welcome, and the roof top terrace was a perfect venue for yoga during sunset! There were numerous areas for outside dining, and you could seek shade or enjoy the sun whatever was your preference. We would love to return in the near future. Thank you.

We had an amazing week staying at this villa – perfect for two families! There was plenty of space both indoors and outdoors, so everyone could relax together or enjoy some quiet time alone. The outdoor area was a highlight, with a great pool, a relaxing hot tub, and lots of space for both kids and adults to unwind.The hammock was a favorite spot for afternoon reading and naps, and we loved cooking in the well-appointed kitchen and grilling meals on the outdoor BBQ. Each bedroom had air conditioning, which was a real plus, especially during the warmer nights.Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up – we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. Highly recommended!

How did we love Casa Palmeira? Let us count the ways.The beautiful villa. The warm, inviting pool. The hot tub. The well-stocked kitchen. The beach just minutes away. The majestic trees. The birdsong each morning. The privacy. The sense that, for a little while, we had discovered our own hidden corner of Portugal.Most of all, we loved how Casa Palmeira made us feel—relaxed, restored, and completely at home. It felt less like a vacation rental and more like a personal retreat. The hosts were wonderful, and every aspect of our stay reflected their care and attention.Some places are pleasant. A few are memorable. Casa Palmeira was magical.The only complaint from the three of us? Eventually, we had to leave.

Amazing little gem

We were a family of 7 including 3 children (9-12) and 2 grandparents. The property was very spacious split across 2 floors, downstairs had its own small kitchenette which was handy for the gp's. Master bedroom was devine, loved the bed! Aircon in the bedrooms was a godsend as it was very hot when we were there. Main kitchen was amply stocked with every utensil you could need for a large family. The outside of the property and pool area was stunning. Pool itself was lovely and jacuzzi a nice touch. Only small downside was there were no bars restaurants in walking distance so a car is def needed, but we knew that when we booked. Overall cant recommend highly enough. Team were attentive and speedy in their responses too! Thanks guys!

A peaceful and relaxing family holiday

The villa was easy to find as part of Santo Antonio. The size was perfect for our family to stay for one week. The garden and pool area was beautiful and everything we needed was in the villa. The range of books is great and we played board games in the evening. Spikes Bar on site is good for a bar snack, Vincentinos good for eating in or a takeaway. D’adlieia (pizzas) very good and a close drive. Our favourite restaurants were Agua na boca and Spice Cottage - both in Salema, approx 10 min drive. Dolphin watching with Salema Tours was great, and a visit to the spa on site for a massage! Driving in The Algarve is very easy and the local supermarket is 5 mins drive from the villa. We loved the villa - peaceful and relaxing allowing us all to rest and enjoy family time. We had everything we needed and Margot was on hand via messaging throughout the booking process. The pool lights were not working on arrival and we contacted the property management company. It was not an issue at all and the repair was carried out during the week. Thank you to all involved for a great stay - we hope to come back and we recommend this villa and area!

Amazing Villa in a beautiful surrounding in fantastic Western Algarve Region

We absolutely enjoyed our family vacation week (6 Adults) at Casa Palmeira. The Villa perfectly sleeps up to 8 people wit it‘s 4 Bedrooms + 3 Bathrooms ( 2 of them en suite). The views from the main level as well as the small rooftop terrace over the golf course with the hills and the Atlantic Ocean in the background are breathtaking. The Villa was perfectly clean when we arrived and we appreciated the very flexible check-in / check-out procedures. This is definitely a place where we would love to come back in the future.

Experiência agradável

A experiência foi bastante agradável e tudo correu bem, em geral. O check-in não correu bem, o staff não atendia o telefone. A televisão da casa não tem canais portugueses e durante toda a estadia (1 semana) não houve limpeza à casa nem troca de roupas (de cama e banho).

Sofia says no check in staff were available, and no-one answered their phones. Well, the situation was that she asked for an early check in, at 12 noon - 4 hours early. We juggled all sorts of things and agreed.. The guests didn’t turn up til 6pm, by which time my managers were doing other things, and had no phone signal. Sofia messaged me and I instantly responded and spoke on the phone ( twice) to the other family staying ( Sofia herself still hadn’t arrived) and told them where the key could be found. They were happy. We don’t change bed linen and towels for a 7 night stay, and she didn’t ask for this. Our VRBO listing is clear - we only offer UK free to air TV channels. She never asked about Portuguese channels.

Tout était parfait !

Un Check in rapide et complet : merci maria ! La maison est très bien organisée, très silencieuse, la cuisine très bien équipée et l’arrière cuisine très pratique avec lave linge et SÈCHE linge. La situation est idéale : en fin d’impasse et entouree de verdure ; le jardin est juste magnifique, arboré , très fleuri et sans aucun vis à vis Les literies confortables, 3 salles de bain , et de nombreuses terrasses. Le jacuzzi était le bienvenu et la piscine chauffée très agréable pour rester des heures dans l’eau . Margo a été particulièrement attentionnée, réactive à nos questions avant et pendant le séjour ! Nous recommandons vivement cette villa de rêve

October in Western Algare

We had a most enjoyable family holiday and the house was really well equipped for all of us. My 2 grandchildren, 8 & 3 , loved the heated pool and we all had BBQs and enjoyed the hot tub. We would recommend this villa for all looking for a relaxing family holiday.

Comfortable villa in beautiful location

The villa proved to just like the description on Home away. It was really well equipped for 8 people and the facilities provided made it feel like a home from home. We particularly enjoyed the large heated pool and the surrounding garden. With regard to location, the coast, Lagos, and a range of supermarkets were all within easy reach with a car. The only thing that could have been better was the outside garden furniture, which is showing signs of its age, but this is only a minor detail and didn't spoil the experience in any way. We all enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider returning.

Hi Peter. Thank you so much for taking time to write a review, and I’m delighted that you enjoyed your holiday in the villa. We would of course be delighted if you decided to return some time. Thank you also for your comments about the outdoor furnishings. We welcome all feedback. We carry out a careful check at the start of each season to make sure everything inside and outdoors is fit for purpose, and in fact recently replaced all the sunloungers. However, the Portuguese weather, and indeed sometimes, sadly, our guests, can be tough on outdoor furniture which, by the end of a long season, can be showing the effects! We will certainly make sure that any which are just not coping are honourably retired. Best wishes, Margo

Spacious and comfortable villa, well equipped and in beautiful surroundings. Lovely garden.

We stayed for a week at the end of Feb 2019- aiming to get away for a bit of warmth and to escape the winter in Cornwall. The villa couldn't have been better- masses of space for our family of 5. The area was obviously out of season but supermarkets/ main restaurants open as normal and everyone was very helpful. Being out of season has it's advantages as the whole week was peaceful and relaxing which is what were hoping for. The weather was kind and not dissimilar to an English Summer- but in February! The area is lovely with stunning coastline to compete with Cornwall but with quiet roads and easy driving. The whole holiday was straightforward, easy flights, simple drive to the villa, warm welcome from Maria the manager, and we couldn't really fault anything. The pool was surprisingly warm and we spent a lot of time just chilling out at the villa and following the sun around the lovely terraces and often ended up having a drink on the rooftop terrace with it's panoramic views. A perfect, relaxing week- many thanks, we would love to return.

Lovely villa with beautiful garden

Great villa with beautiful gardens situated in a calm and peaceful position overlooking the golf course.Easy and stress free directions to property. Villa's furniture, crockery and cutlery all of good quality. Plenty of tips in Villa suggesting restaurants within easy reach and if leaving the car at villa a number for an excellent cab service. Golf course was fun to play and the Spike bar is highly recommended. When contacted the local agents were very helpful with any questions we asked. One week was not enough we would love to come back.

A beautiful villa in a fantastic location!

The villa was amazing , the outdoor space around the pool and the multiple outdoor eating areas really make it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the weather. Location wise it's great, 5 min taxi to the beach and restaurants and 15/20 minutes to Lagos. Customer service was second to none and made for a very enjoyable and relaxing week. Would highly recommend!

What a fabulous Villa!

My wife and I ust returned from a fabulous week at Chris and Margo's 5-Star property in St Antonio. The villa is really well kitted out and we made full use of the hot tub and pool during our stay. Being right next to the National Park, we also went on a couple of nice long walks in the late afternoon, and if you plan it correctly and pass under the main road to the little village (can't remember the name) there is a very nice pub where you can have a refreshing beer or glass of wine. Although we didn't eat there, they have a good menu and I heard good reports from others about the quality of the food. The golf course is good and can be challenging given that it is built on the side of the hills and a lot of the holes are either down or up a valley. If you prefer carrying your clubs it is possible (as I did) although there are a couple of long uphill climbs on a couple of the holes. Lagos is not far away if you want some nightlife, a taxi is about EUR40 to get home afterwards. We will certainly be returning and would have no hesitation in recommending this to others.

Renny's Relaxing Retreat

The travel information provided prior to our holiday meant we arrived with no problems and only 1 hour 10 mins after leaving the airport we were at the villa. This villa has everything you could possibly want on a self catering holiday and more! The whole house was immaculate and the welcome pack in the kitchen ensured a snack on arrival was exactly what was required. The villa is spacious and cool despite the temperatures outside being 40 degrees whilst we were there. During our week we met the cleaning staff, the pool staff and the gardeners who were all so friendly and unobtrusive. The restaurants recommended came up trumps and we ate out most of the week in Salema as there was a variety of restaurants which were excellent. Would also recommend the Italian restaurant on the complex- fantastic value. We were all so impressed and our friends who accompanied us raved the whole week about just how relaxing our holiday was. We will definitely be back in the future. Most definitely recommend it - excellent holiday!

Beautiful villa located in stunning golf resort

Great villa with lovely pool and gardens. Various options to eat and relax both indoors and outside the villa. The property was clean and spacious and a great choice for a family holiday. There are so many stunning beaches in this part of the Algarve. Our favourites are Salema, Zavial, Mareta and Amado (especially good for body boarding).
