I have nothing but great things to say about this rental. Don’t be fooled by negative reviews—they’re subjective and based on unrealistic standards.
As a Portuguese person who has stayed in rentals across the country, I planned an Algarve getaway with my parents and fiancée, opting for a traditional Portuguese hacienda. We were not disappointed. The villa is charming, well-equipped, and steps from the Vale do Lobo golf course—a five-minute walk, perfect for avid golfers.
It’s also a 12-minute walk to the Praca Vale do Lobo, with restaurants, entertainment, and beach clubs. A nearby parking lot is available if you prefer not to walk.
The villa had everything we needed and more: parking for three vehicles, air conditioning throughout, access doors from the living and dining rooms to the terrace, an in-ground pool, lounge chairs, a Portuguese barbecue, a ping pong table, a top-floor terrace, and more. The villa exceeded our expectations based on the pictures.
The service and response time from the owner and villa management team were incredible. Having stayed in many rentals, I can say their support was above and beyond. I thank both the owner and management team for their help and kindness.
In summary, set your expectations clearly before staying here or anywhere else. If you want a modern villa, look elsewhere. This is a charming, typical villa. It’s unfair to complain about things when you know what to expect.
For me, it’s a solid 10/10. I highly recommend this rental!
