Excellent property that was perfect for my family. Apart from days out, the grandchildren spent as much time as possible in the pool, they preferred it to going out for the day.
The property was fully equipped and excellently kept. Our hosts were excellent.

The Villa was perfect for our 40th Anniversary family celebration. All the facilities were top quality and excellent for all ages in our group, we couldn’t fault a thing. Steve and Janie were the best hosts, they recommended a local private chef who came to the villa to cook a meal, which was well worth it and they were ready and quick to help if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend as ideal for a family holiday and can’t wait to go back.

This villa was perfect for our stay - a big family of three generations. Well-kept and with lots of different spaces outside to sun-bathe, read or relax, a spacious swimming-pool and a heated waterfall-pool, and a lovely dining area outside. We had a wonderful holiday:)
Thank you to our lovely hosts, Steve and Janie!

Modern, spacious and well equipped villa with amazing private area and swimming pools.
The property is very well located in a silent area, at the same time close to many attractions and supermarkets.
Many thanks to Steve and Janie, with their outstanding hospitality, made our vacation memorable

12 of us stayed in this property for a week, including 3 generations and 5 kids. We had an awesome time. The property is brilliant, with a lovely pool, a smaller one for relaxing in, and a bar, terrace dining and BBQ. It was a short ride to the beach, and a walk to Aqualand. The holiday was perfect, and Steve and Janie were perfect hosts.

We have just returned from a wonderful 10 day stay in this beautiful Villa, perfect for a quiet relaxing family holiday. All the rooms are spacious and clean and furniture is of a very high standard. Many hours were spent around the pool where there were plenty of sun beds and chairs and in the evenings the bar was a favourite for pre dinner drinks watching the sun go down. Steve and Janie were on hand if ever we needed anything and made sure our stay was comfortable for us all. Thankyou both for a truly lovely, memorable holiday. Pam & family

The villa was beautifully clean and spacious. Variety of places to sit and enjoy outside. We all loved the pool. Very private but in great reach of local amenities. Steve and Janie are so friendly and went out of their way to help make our stay as carefree as possible and recommend suitable places for us to visit. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was well equipped, the outside BBQ area was lovely. A midweek bathroom refresh was an unexpected delight. We couldn’t have felt more welcome and we’re thinking of booking again next year!

We booked back in 2019 but due to the pandemic didn't holiday until June 2022. Steve and Janie carried over our booking from 2019 staying with the original cost. The villa was top notch and our family loved the holiday. There were 8 adults and 5 children in the group. The kids especially loved the pool. Steve and Janie organised a chef to attend for a special occasion and Steve also organised golf for the golfers among us. A great stay at a great property with great hosts.

We booked 2 weeks with 6 adults and 5 teenagers in our group. We were really impressed with the villa and the outside pool area. Steve & Janie were there to greet us and stayed in touch throughout the 2 weeks to help in any way they could. Both have become good friends and we are looking forward to returning very soon. The villa is situated in a quiet area that made the whole 2 weeks very relaxing. The pool was used every day and night and a wonderful area around the villa to have BBQ's and chill by the bar. A couple of cars helped us get around for the shopping, visiting the algarve beaches and golf. We would all strongly recommend Villa Camaleao.

We have just returned from this villa with family of 11 aging from 70 to 4 for numerous celebrations June 10 to 17
Steve and jainie were.very helpful from booking to the day we left
The villa is exactly as shown in pictures loads of space for everyone
It was spotlessly clean and we even had bathroom clean and clean towels half way through the week
The outside space is really good and comfortable nice pools even a waterfall in small pool
It is about 50 min walk into armacao de pera which is a lovely town with nice restaurants and bars
Everyone enjoyed themselves
We only had one small issue that was the remote for the gate if we went out separate who had it to get back in but we worked with it
Just an idea for Steve
I would definitely recommend this villa

Just returned from a week stay at this beautiful villa. I will start by saying all the reviews and the lovely photos do not lie. This villa is perfection inside and out, and for me what sets it apart for other villas we have stayed at are the wonderful outdoor areas which provide much needed shade for those who are not sun lovers, and the rest of us who like to chill out.
If you want to stay in real Portugal and not just a resort, this is the villa for you.
Steve and Janine were wonderful and all their recommendations were spot on, including the taxi transport they organised. (Don't even consider using any other).
Hope to return again.

My partner and I with our families had the most wonderful stay at this very special villa. It catered for all our needs (adults of mixed ages and a 20 month old baby) and was the ideal place to stay in preparation for our wedding in the Algarve. The pool outdoor area is fantastic, with so many options for relaxing and hanging out. Several fridges to accommodate lots of people and great kitchen space and worktops. Very comfortable bedrooms all with air conditioning. We had an incredible meal at the villa catered by Chef Roberto's team, as recommended by Steve and Janie. Steve and Janie were so helpful and responsive e.g. coming to meet me at check in and check out, providing us with an extra set of keys, offering to drive us to the big supermarket and quickly providing us with a new iron. We had the absolute best time at the villa, highly recommend, thank you!

Our family spent a fantastic week in the beautiful Villa Camaleao. The villa itself was very spacious and all the rooms of a great standard, with a beautiful balcony space for all the bedrooms on the top floor. The outside space was superb, with a lovely dining area and outdoor BBQ. The pool area was also great with plenty of sun-loungers for everyone, and there were also plenty of shaded areas to relax in. A real bonus was the pool table and table tennis, which kept both adults and children entertained throughout the week. The villa is set in a secure location within walking distance of local restaurants and a water park, and only a short drive to the town and beach. Our hosts, Steve and Janie, were great, very friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.

Steve and Janie were so gracious and welcoming. Had a little trouble with directions but Steve was nice enough to meet us and direct us to their amazing house. We have rented houses from VRBO in the past but I must say this was the most immaculate one yet.
We were a group of 5 and all had our own bedrooms with one to spare. Outside pool area was delightful and a wonderful place for meals. Kitchen very well equipped with everything you would need to cook for a huge group.
However, we felt the house was a little remote and not near the water or restaurants except one. Also washing clothes was difficult because the only time to start washing machine was from 12 - 2. But when we traveled around the Algarve during the day, we were always happy to return to this wonderful house. J.E.

We were a group of 12. We traveled to Portugal from October 7 through 17, 2022 for golfs. We stayed in Algarve, from October 8 through 13 in this house and stayed in Lisbon from October 13 through 17. The house is in a good location for golfing in Algarve area. We had 5 rounds of golf in Algarve.
The house location is great. It was close to supermarket, highway and local restaurants. It was clean. The pool was really nice even though you have to pay extra for warming up. The jacuzzi is not usable at night. There was no dining facilities, dining table/chairs inside house. The only dining facilities are right outside kitchen. But, the weather was very nice and we had almost no issue about it even though it was a little chilly at night. There is no smart tv. It would have been lot better if there was a smart tv.
The owner/manager, Steve, was really helpful. He was very responsive and friendly.
Overall, I highly recommend this house despite couple of minor issues.

From the moment of first contact the communications were top class. Steve and Janie could not have been better hosts
As a family we have been having villa holidays for over 30 years and this villa was by far the best - enough rooms to fit adults, teenager and under 10's. .2 heated pools to give fun all day. Plus local water park for more action
Local stores provided our food needs
Would most definately recommend

Heerlijke vakantie gehad met vrienden en familie. De villa is van alle gemakken voorzien. Schoon en netjes. Alles mooi onderhouden. Prachtige en rustige omgeving. Max 10 min. rijden naar het dorpje. In het dorpje zitten meerdere supermarkten en restaurantjes. De hosts, Steve en Janie zijn super lief en attent. Toen ik de eerste dag aankwam in m’n eentje, werd ik opgevangen met een lekker drankje en Janie had wat te eten en drinken voor me in de koelkast gelegd.
Ik was hier om mijn 40e verjaardag te vieren en Steve had me de tip gegeven om een kok aan huis te laten komen. Wat was dat fantastisch!! Het eten was subliem. Alles van de voorbereiding, tafel dekken tot en met de afwas werd voor ons gedaan. We hebben alleen maar genoten!! Ook het zwembad is heerlijk ruim en schoon. Verder waren de bedden fijn en het beddengoed schoon en prettig. Kortom @Steve en Janie: dank voor jullie goede zorgen. We hebben een onvergetelijke week gehad!!!

Fantastic place, wonderfull hosts.
Dreadfully experience from VRBO. They could not take my money despite trying to pay them about 15 times I paid the owners direct in the end.
They gave us the wrong address for the property twice and if I had not got the sav nav details from the owner we would have found the place at all.

I can't emphasise strongly enough how amazing our experience was renting this gorgeous villa from Steve and Janie or what marvellous, friendly and helpful hosts they are. We first booked the villa in 2019 for May 2020 for a 60th birthday celebration. Sadly, for 2 years on the trot, covid restrictions meant we couldn't make it but Steve and Janie didn't bat an eyelid and moved our booking twice to the exact same weeks each time. They greeted us warmly on our arrival, left a lovely welcome pack for us and showed us around the immaculate villa. The pictures don't really do it justice by the way. Days at the villa were peaceful, dipping in and out of the pools to cool down or sitting in one of the shady areas - there is always shade somewhere in the garden. You can hear birds singing all day long and watch them fluttering around the garden, there are beautiful jays to watch and there are peacocks somewhere nearby as well as a rooster who has no idea what time of day it is!
There are plenty of supermarkets in Armação de Pêra including a Lidl and the taxi fare there and back to the villa is reasonable. Our favourite bar was Pedro's. Our favourite table was on the far right where you feel like you are sitting right on the beach. All the bars are good though. We had a great evening meal in the Palm Beach restaurant, again you feel as though you are practically on the beach. We visited nearby Carvoeiro and Silves. Ideally you could do with renting a car but the taxi service is excellent and we made use of that.
We were there for the last 2 weeks in May and the beach, which is lovely, was quite quiet but it was beginning to get a lot busier by the time we left.
I could go on and on about how wonderful our holiday was, how gorgeous the villa is and what special people Steve and Janie are, but you really, really do need to go there and find out for yourself.

Steve and Janie were on hand to assist from our arrival and throughout our stay and, despite not all of our party being able to make it due to covid issues, we had a super time at the villa.
Steve confirmed our booking was safe and gave us the opportunity to move our stay however having stuck with our original dates we were all delighted with the Villa and the facilities provided.
