Clients Reviews:
"Fantastic Villa, great location
We have been renting villas all over the Algarve for 20 years and this is the best one. We wanted a private, quiet location within a short drive from shops, restaurants and bars. We wanted a good sized swimming pool, a comfortable bed and decent air conditioning. We got all of that at Villa Garbe. The kitchen was very well equipped. It is a great base from which to explore the surrouding area by car, and an Uber into Armacao de Pera was just 5 euro. Finally I would like to thank our host Baltazar. He responded to our small queries quickly and positively. We will definitely return here in the future.UK Guests2022"
"Fantastic villa!
The villa was perfect in every way. Its in a beautiful setting with gorgeous views and feels really private and secluded even though you're only a few minutes drive away from amenities. There's loads of outdoor space and a huge infinity pool which was a big hit with the kids. Inside the villa is really spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The location of the villa is fantastic - Armacao de Pera and the beautiful beaches of Praia Grande are within easy access but its also a great base for exploring the rest of the Algarve. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend."UK Guests 2024"
"Perfect holidays
Everything is perfect, the house, the pool, the view, the silence with no neighbour, the communication with Baltazar. All the shops and beach are at 5 min by car Thank you very much."German Guests 2023"
"Beyond exceptional- just exquisite!!
So - this was a pretty late booking and we were getting a bit panicky!! We being 2 grandparents in our 70's, son and daughter in law (late 30's) and children aged just 3 and 6. We had holidayed in Portuguese villas together several times previously and wanted something comfortable , spacious and tranquil - we were not disappointed. The villa is lovely and I need to say the photos do not convey how stunning is the location - it is exceptionally peaceful and for the entire holiday we were on our own and totally undisturbed with views of the countryside across the huge pool (what a bonus). We decided to "risk" not hiring a car as we would have needed an estate or similar so we used Uber exclusively - trips to the supermarket were 5 Euros return and only slightly more to reach golf courses (Dad and Grandad) and beaches/water parks (the whole family). The gamble was a huge success saving us literally hundreds of Euros over the 2 weeks. As everyone on the reviews has already said the area lacks for nothing in shops, beaches, entertainment and restaurants at significantly lower prices than more vaunted areas in this brilliant part of Portugal. We really had a fabulous 2 weeks and then there is Balthazar who looked after us royally . If you don't believe he can be as amazingly efficient as everyone else has said then think again. We were only sorry we never got to meet him in person - a top guy. We are still buzzing - if you get the chance book it. You will love it. We did.French Guests 2023"
