Top Class Villa

The pictures of this villa do not do it justice. This place is outstanding. We had 5 adults and 5 children and has so much space. We couldn't fault anything. It had everything you could need and more. Beautifully kept garden and bbq area. So safe for children (which was a big thing for us) the housekeeper who was so lovely and arrived second day with fresh towels and gave the house a tidy. The location is just a few minutes drive away from everything yet you still get to enjoy a peaceful rural area. I would highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back next year.

Second stay, superb villa.

This was our second stay here and once again we couldn't fault it. Villa is very clean and very well equipped. Contact from the owner is very good. Id also like to point out that we stayed here whilst there was no air bridge agreed between the UK and Portugal. However this didn't affect our holiday in anyway at all. Portugal is a very safe place to have a family holiday, we felt very safe and welcome in the Algarve.

Estadia perfeita

Casa maravilhosa, impecavelmente limpa e mobilada e equipada com o máximo de cuidado e requinte. A casa é ainda melhor do que as fotografias mostram. Destaque para as camas e colchões, extremamente confortáveis, e para o espaço exterior, que permite momentos muito agradáveis na piscina e na zona de refeições.

Fabulous!

This holiday home let met and exceeded all expectations. Truly. Incredibly well thought out and designed , the high specifications in the finish adding to a sense of pragmatic opulence. Amazing. Ensuites; air conditioning; fantastic swimming pool ; lovely garden area and roof top terrace, outdoor table tennis and kitchen. More than enough space meant that all family members needs were met.The location of the house means you are near to everything and yet quietly enclosed in your own very special place. This house was a perfect base for our multi generational family annual holiday.A large group - 10 of us ranging from 7years upwards and everyone had a terrific time. The design and lay out of the house played a vital part in enabling that to happen. So many cherished memories have been made here this year. Excellent beaches ( one only 10-15 min walk from the house) and amnetities all withinin 10 mins drive or a short drive into Albufeira. Lovely, discreet friendly and helpful couple of housekeeper and pool guy who live close by , added to a sense of a well run and much cared for property. It’s not that often that a rental, even a top of the range one like this ,exceeds expectations. This rental really does!

Lovely luxury villa in a great location. Couldn't fault anything!

Great villa that catered easily for our party of 9. Everything of a high specification and exceptionally clean with the housekeeper coming in 3 times a week. Lovely pool and BBQ area. We hired a car for our weeks stay but if you don't want to drive there is a beach and shop within easy walking distance. This is one of the best villas we have stayed in and we do a villa holiday each year. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful, modern, well equipped luxury villa!

This is one of the best villas we have stayed in by far. The house is a great size and equipped with everything. It's got more kitchen equipment then I have at home! All the rooms are good size with generous wardrobe space and ensuite. The fact that you get the place cleaned and beds made a couple times a week is an amazing touch for a self catering facility. We called the villa managers who I think live a couple of doors down because we needed a high chair and they were there in a couple of hours with one and checking if there is anything else we need. We paid to heat the pool as we travelled mid/late May and that was money well spent, our toddler loved it. The air temperature was only 21degCel sometimes so it was warmer in the pool than out. It's in a great location too. If you like the touristy/loud bar scene then albufeira is close by but if you're like us and you want somewhere peaceful away from all that, this is perfect for that too! If you drive less than 5minutes in the opposite direction you can find some gorgeous quiet coves and beach's with a small bar/restaurant for snacks and can sunbathe on hired beds and make sandpits. A couple of these places are walkable. I would definitely recommend this villa and location to families.

Thank you Michelle We are so pleased you enjoyed our villa, and the fact that so many of our guests return each year says a lot. I realise that many people looking for a holiday villa tend to take the villa description, and reviews, with a pinch of salt, but in our case, I think you agree its a top villa. Its a perfect location for the nearby beautiful beaches and coves, restaurants and supermarkets. We look forward to hearing from you again soon. Best regards Andrew

Schitterende villa. Verwarmd zwembad is een absolute pre!

Villa compleet van alle gemakken voorzien. Slechts 900 meter lopen naar een fantastisch klein strand. Verwarmd zwembad is heerlijk. Service met schoonmaak en zwembadonderhoud is heel goed, keurige Portugezen doen deze klus met liefde.

Again we were not disapointed with this fabulous villa in Portugal This was our second year to come back and will be booking again shortly the area is very private and quiet just as we like it. Thank you for your attention to detail every thing you need is there. My only suggestion is to get a washing line or rotory Thank you Jackie

Great villa, great location, great value - perfect

An excellent villa in a great location. Would we return? - undoubtedly yes. Would we look elsewhere in the Algarve - undoubtedly no. This was a high end villa that was spotlessly clean, both inside and out. It was extremely well designed and very well equipped and was difficult to fault. The pool and BBQ area were first-rate, but some excellent restaurants were close by and the beaches were walking distance or a short drive.away. Why go anywhere else?

Luxury Algarve Villa

The villa completely matched the description and more! Outside provided a large pool, water feature, grassed area with many mature olive trees, a terrace area with room for sun beds and which received the sun throughout the day. There was also a covered area with a BBQ, power and sink. A large table and chairs ment outside eating was enjoyed in comfort. There was also a washing machine. Both the in and outside were immaculately maintained. Inside the property was shear luxury. We tried to think of something else you could need but we were defeated. Five en-suite bedrooms plus an additional bathroom, separate dining room, lounge area and a perfectly appointed kitchen plus additional first floor terraces completed the property. The manager was easy to contact and responded quickly to a slight problem with a safe. Finally, there are several quality restaurants within a 15 minute walk, the beach is 10 minutes away and shopping Algarve is a short drive away. Our family had a fantastic holiday and we would recommend the property to everyone looking for a luxury villa.

Dear Mrs Fish Thank you for your review of our villa Cantinho Oliveiras. As all will see from the reviews on Owners Direct, we get many like this, and I assume there are holidaymakers out there who are sceptical of our reviews, but we can assure everyone that they are all genuine, as our guests will know. We hope you will consider returning to our villa soon, but don't delay, we are already almost fully booked for 2018. Best regards Andrew

Beautiful holiday Villa

The property exceeded all our expectations. It was wonderful to have 6 adults and one young adult each with their own space and privacy because of the size and design of the villa. All of the bathrooms were beautifully furnished. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was very effective but the villa seemed to keep relatively cool considering temperatures reached 40 C on over 3 occasions. The housekeeper did an amazing job of cleaning and tidying but was totally discreet. Just one thing, what about a circular washing line at the side of the villa? The outside area is so spacious, the pool beautiful and everywhere is so well maintained.Finally, I would recommend a hire car to visit all the wonderful beaches and villages around the villa. We would have no hesitation in recommending this villa to anyone. Many thanks for a superb holiday. Sue and Rob Wilson.

Luxury in the sun...

We have frequented this wonderful property 4 times now & never tire of all that it has to offer. It has 5 ensuite bedrooms all individually decorated to a high standard,each balcony serving a sea view, fabulous surroundings outside for those lazy days where you can while away an hour or two by cooling off in the large maintained pool in fact it's a shame to actually leave the villa! There are also extensive grounds and fabulous views from the roof top also, However if you chose to there are at least 4/5 lovely restaurants in walking distance from the villa which is an added bonus. Dom Dinis is literally a stones throw which offers tasty dishes to tempt anyone's palate & a big plus for us was the bar attached for those pre or after dinner cocktails. Another of our long standing favourites which again is very close is Oh Maheinero , beautifully refurbed, pristine turned out staff & food to a very high standard. You won't be disappointed in fact you won't want to go anywhere else on a return visit.

Dear Mr Gleeson We ae grateful you have taken the time to submit your review, and delighted that you have once again enjoyed Cantinho Oliveiras. Although we use Dom Dinis and O' Marinheiro restaurants, we also enjoy chicken piri piri in Guia, and several of the beach restaurants nearby such as Evaristo and O Sardinha. Thank you for re- booking for 2018, we are sure you will enjoy it once more. Best regards Andrew
