What a location. Beautiful traditional Portuguese villa, located near bars, restaurants and shops. A few restaurants and bars were closed due to it being low season but there were plenty of bars and restaurants/cafes/shops within a short distance to suit anyone. No need for a car.
This villa is equipped with everything we needed. Kitchen and everything in it was fine. The cleaning ladies were very attentive and did a great job as when we arrived the property was shining.
We loved the heated pool as we were in November. Having the pool heated allowed us to enjoy the pool area and the sunny days.
During the welcoming meeting we were suggested to go on a boat tour, operated by the local representatives. Bruno, gave us important information and we decided to go. We did the full day trip and it was an amazing day. We even saw the dolphins at sea, playing near the boat. We also have enjoyed the river during the afternoon as we went up to Silves city. Great job guys. Miguel, the sailor, was very patient and answered all our questions, always with a smile. The skipper Tiago did a great job.
We also went to Old Albufeira, and we had a great meal that night. Very picturesque town, where we can feel secure. That is one of the most surprising thing... security. The streets are very secure and the locals are very friendly. A very rare thing nowadays.
We are thinking of staying during 3 weeks next year... that's how much we liked it.
