Stunning Villa in an exceptional location. We have been visiting this location and nearby every year, for more than 12 yrs. I can honestly say we had one of our best vacations yet.Rob is genuinely one of the best, most professional, helpful and accommodating hosts we have had the pleasure of dealing with.This is a well run property and the villa is exactly how it looks in the photos. Miguel and the lovely cleaning ladies were great and so efficient that we barely knew they were there. The villa had everything we could have possibly needed and the helpful recommendations including the car hire service ( the best we have experienced) and all of the restaurant and supermarket suggestions and reviews were spot on. We cannot wait to book again for next year.Thanks again to Rob and the team for making our stay perfect!Clare and Dan

The house is in an exceptional location, just minutes from the golf course, gym, and beach. It is very well equipped, and the pool area is truly spectacular—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, making it ideal for hosting guests. Our host was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond, including providing some outstanding dining recommendations. I would highly recommend this property and would gladly return.

Great Property, Great Host, Great Location

We stayed here for 2 weeks over the summer and had an excellent experience. The host was very responsive, but we found that we didn't need to contact him much after the first day or two because everything went smoothly. The place was clean, modern, well-maintained, and very pleasant.

Great villa and a great stay

We had a great week at Rob’s villa. It was perfect for our needs - well located, clean, plenty of space, well equipped. And the heated pool was a big hit. Rob was super communicative and helpful before and during our stay. Would highly recommend.

The villa is well located at the entrance to VDL near the Golf Reception and Supermarket. You are not overlooked and it felt very secluded. a couple of issues were sorted very quickly with no fuss.

Great holiday

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 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.

5 star property and host

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. I can assure you if you book this villa you will not be disappointed.

2nd Year in a Row

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 outdoor area is a dream! We have such a wonderful time relaxing there with our family. Can't wait to return!

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

Enjoyed the stay… cleaners everyday… person on hand locally just in case… location very good. Room for improvement? Drainage needs sorting in the upstairs bedroom. Other than that all good!

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.
