We had a wonderful two-week stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa.The villa is beautifully presented, with immaculately maintained gardens, a fantastic pool and excellent outdoor space. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind, and you can tell the property is exceptionally well cared for.The owner is genuinely the nicest and most thoughtful villa owner we have ever dealt with. Communication before and during our stay was exceptional, and the detailed pre-arrival guide was incredibly helpful, with lots of excellent recommendations that we referred to throughout the holiday.The daily housekeeping was a real luxury and it made a noticeable difference to our stay and is a real selling point.The location is excellent, with easy access to Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago and the surrounding area. Taxis were plentiful, reliable and made getting around very easy, meaning we never felt the need to hire a car.Overall, we had a fantastic family holiday. You can tell the owner genuinely cares about both the villa and his guests, and that really shows. We would happily return in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the Algarve.

We had a fantastic holiday. The villa is about 30 minutes from the airport in a great location near the golf courses and 15 minute walk from the beach and restaurants. The villa is very comfortable with the added benefit of Sky Sports so we could watch the golf during the Masters weekend. A great time was had by all. Thanks.

We have just returned from the most amazing stay at this lovely villa. The host went above and beyond to insure we had the perfect stay, any issues or questions we had were responded to immediately. The villa its self was spacious and clean with a lovely maid that visited daily. The outside area was exceptionally nice with lovely garden furniture which was all clean and well kept.

Another incredible stay at Rob's beautiful home in Vale do Lobo. The house is perfectly located in the resort, just 10mins walk to the beach and restaurants. 5 mins walk to the gym, spa and golf. 5 mins walk to the supermarket. It's a perfect location.

The perfect stay in Vale Do Lobo

This property is exactly what you see in the photos! It is an immaculate villa, in an ideal location. We walked to the beach most days, as well as golf and the local supermarkets and restaurants. It will be our first choice for our next stay in Vale Do Lobo. Rob was great to deal with in the lead up to our stay, very responsive and gave us lots of information, tips and recommendations. The daily maid service from Marican was a real treat, and she was so kind to our kids. 10/10

Thank you for your review Paul and it is very disappointing as this is one of only 2 non 5 star reviews in 5 years. It is a shame you did not let us know about any drainage issue, I assume the bathroom as we are still unaware of it, as we would have fixed it the same day! Thank you for your stay and best regards Rob

Lovely Villa in the Perfect Location

I can not wait to return to this villa! From the moment I made the booking, the communication with the owner was first class. The villa is even better in the flesh and has absolutely everything you need, we were especially impressed with all the kitchen equipment. The cleaner coming everyday was unexpected but fabulous and the ladies were so friendly. We had a grocery delivery which arrived before we did and the maids put everything away for us, little touches like this really made our stay extra special. The information you receive from the owner prior to your stay means that if it is your first visit you have all the info to be organised before you arrive. We stay in this area several times a year and I would highly recommend this villa to anyone. The rest of my group have all said how fabulous it was and how they would choose to stay there again too. Definitely gets a 10 out of 10 from all of us.

Lovely villa but…

The property is fantastic but and here is the issue, we only hire villas with pool heating which this did have however, when we arrived the pool was really cold, we contacted the pool manager and explained that it wasn’t heating, had he acted immediately he would have seen that the heater was broken, it wasnt sorted until near the end of the holiday which was extremely disappointing. We were refunded the pool heating money but just very annoyed as pool was just too cold. Appreciate things happen but the management of the process and delay was frustrating and our expectations werent managed as communication from property manager was poor

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Nov, 2021
Unfortunately pool heating systems do from time to time have problems even when they are brand new as this one is and sometimes parts are not immediately available. The engineer and property manager was on site the same day as the problem was reported which was the second day of the guests stay. Communication could not have been clearer. I spoke to the guest as did the engineer and property manager both of whom were on site immediately. I refunded the pool heating immediately as an act of goodwill. A part was located in the North of the country and it couriered at great expense to be delivered the next day when it was fitted. The pool temperature was still 22c and was up and fully working to 30c in less than 36 hours. Hardly 3 star service and a very disappointing comment.
