Perfect space for three-generation four-family holiday, celebrating granny & grandpa's 75th birthdays. Situation of the villa very quiet and exclusive (gated group of villas). The very nice beach really is only minutes away, though we only went a couple of times, because the pool was lovely, and it worked better with having a toddler needing daytime naps. The bedrooms lovely - and very spacious, particularly the master (nb, other grannies/grandpas: the cot is too big to move, so master bedroom has to go to the qualifying parents of eligible grandchild): but as all the rooms are nice, it was no problem. The kitchen is very well equipped (even for pernickity cooks like our family). Likewise utility facilities. We managed well with one ordinary hire car, as shops & good restaurants really are all within walking distance. Only needed a taxi for one further-afield trip to Albufeira. Manfred is very friendly and looked after us well, popping in with his pastries on Day One, and responding extremely quickly to a couple of my queries by text. There was a very welcome little collection of food supplies in the fridge when we arrived: Tracy & Manfred made this a great holiday for us all. (They even arranged exceptionally warm weather for the mid October half term holiday - at no extra charge!)
