We looked for a villa for a long time, as this was going to be our first holiday in a villa. We were looking for somewhere remote and private as we are a large neurodivergent family and we need space, self catering, a heated pool and the opportunity to be loud if we need it. We have 4 children, 2 teens, 1 8yr old and an 18 month old. The Villa was absolutely perfect for us! It offered everything we wanted and much more. The gardens are excellent, and superbly cared for. The terrace is a beautiful space for a family, and the hammock was a huge hit for our autistic daughters. The pool is huge and fantastic for our water addiction, and our toddler loved the hot tub addition too! The teens absolutely loved having an en-suite each, and the space we had in the whole villa was so good for when we all needed some down time. The air conditioning is really good, and needed in the 30 degree weather! The Villa is really well stocked too.We hired a car which was very useful, and we explored Alvor beach and a few restaurants, but we also ate in the villa every evening as this suits our family more. The hosts Mellisa and Clive are so friendly and helpful, and it’s actually very convenient having them on site. They gave us the space and privacy we needed and were also on hand for any questions, or support we needed. We had a lovely week and we all really enjoyed it, and we’re already planning to return next year!
