Great communication before arriving at the Villa. Really happy to see such a lovely, immaculate property on arrival. Met by Fernando who is the most helpful of people and a legend. Quickly found the surfing sites ( no need to pre-book lessons etc) made great use of the table tennis and BBQ area in the Villa. Cheap enough to buy charcoal in Lidl/Aldi but definitely recommend a large family shop for a week at the continentle supermarket on the way to the Villa in Mafra. Aldi and lidl quite restricted on choice - especially for a group of 10 people. Loved the old town. Rooms in the Villa were immaculate and we had everything we needed. Just need to take things like toilet roll, bin bags, condiments. Lots of cutlery, glasses, etc. available to use including cooking utensils. Pool was well used and enjoyed by all and in the evening a game of Scategories around the BBQ went down well. Back to Fernando - we asked if he could take a photo of us all as a family and he obliged, he even acted as a taxi service to take us all into the old town to celebrate exam results and a evening family meal. The older children stayed out late and could not get a taxi back, so they took Fernando up on his offer of calling him, whatever the time... he dutifully picked them all up at 0500 and bought them safely home... went above and beyond to make our holiday enjoyable. Would recommend to families of all ages as the Villa caters for all.
