Great stay!

We had a great time here - it is a fabulous & well proportioned villa. It was exceptionally clean and well equipped. Easy access to beach & restaurants (walkable but ubers are very cheap!). Close to road but well secluded/feels private so this was not an issue for us.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay in your great villa

The villa was fab. The garden was large and spacious. The kitchen and utility room was very well equipped and dining room had everything you would need. Loved the outdoor and the BBQ. We requested and paid extra for the swimming pool to be heated and it was a perfect temperature.

villa with a pool and garden was exceptional

The villa was well-equipped and beautifully decorated, providing a cozy atmosphere. The private pool and garden were highlights, offering a relaxing outdoor space. The team's service was outstanding—attentive and friendly throughout our stay. This villa is a top choice. Highly recommended!

Great location, great villa, perfect for families

Clean, spacious villa with lots of outdoor space in a great location. Just spent two weeks here (Aug '18) and had a great time in the pool and locally at the beach, water park and many restaurants. The villa was clean and well kept by Isaura who came twice a week and was lovely and very friendly. The kids (9 and 6) loved it and we'll definitely come again...

lovely villa in perfect setting

The house and the outdoor area were wonderful. We took day trips but were very eager to get back to the privacy, comfort, and general "hominess of the villa. Since the moment we stepped into the Villa we found everything we needed at our fingertips. Safe and heated pool and accessible fully equipped kitchen. The heated pool was a great decision as the weather was a bit cool. All in all this villa was lovely and we will visit it again.

Ruined Holiday

Our family stayed at this villa from the last week in June until the first week in July. Sadly, and without the owner or agents notifying us beforehand, the second day after we arrived a building site next door began work. This was to dig out foundations for a new property to be built next door. Unfortunately, neither the owner or the agents would accept that they should have notified us of this before we arrived and therefore our holiday was completely ruined. The villa is fine but neither the owner or the agent (Algarve Vacations) can be trusted. I would avoid this villa. The reason for this late review is that, due to several attempts to resolve the issue, it has not ben concluded satisfactorily and thus I feel we have no alternative but to bring this issue to potential visitors.

We stayed in August and the villa was perfect for our family of 5. It had good sized bedrooms all with bathrooms and the kitchen and living areas had everything needed for a great holiday. Pool and outside space perfect too. Would definitely stay again.

Villa Review

The villa was perfect for us, my husband and I shared the main suite on the top floor and our children had a bedroom and bathroom each too. The villa was very clean, comfortable and perfectly located. The pool area was brilliant and had comfortable sunbeds and inviting pool. The kitchen was well-equipped and we wanted for nothing.

Summer 21

Holidaying in Portugal in summer 2021 came with its challenges with weekly changes to rules to hospitality etc. Thankfully we had no complaints regarding villa Isa joe which we fount to be charming and practical. The pool was perfect as was the outdoor area generally. Indoor the kitchen was perfectly functional and the seating area more than adequate. The bedrooms were all of a generous size. One caveat is that it can be a little noisy outside traffic wise being on a street corner with a speed ramp immediately outside the house. That didn’t dampen our experience in any way however and we thoroughly enjoyed staying g at the property and would be more than happy to return.

Ideal for the Family Holiday

The villa is a great size for families. The location is perfect. Everything you would need in short distance, including a fantastic range of restaurants, serving very good quality food. Vale do lobo is our favourite place to holiday and the villa makes it even more special. That is why we keeping returning.

Fabulous Villa but on main road

It’s a fabulous villa, spotlessly clean. Fab pool, lovely rooms with plenty of storage. Bathrooms were first class. The kitchen is pristine with everything you might need. Furniture is a little tired but perfect for a holiday. The only issue we had is that it is on the crossroads of a busy road making relaxing around the pool or sleeping with windows not relaxing. The owners were delightful and if you are not bothered by traffic noise then you will love this villa.

Fantastic family summer holiday

We were very impressed with this villa on arrival, we were a family of 5 with grown up children and all had a really good time. You may want to hire a car to get around but we managed perfectly well using Uber’s. We had beach days, pool days around the villa, we went out for meals some nights and also had a couple of bbq’s. There is a large water park not too far away, lots of fun had there too! We were able to leave our luggage as we arrived on early flights and then went to wander around the shops. We booked the transport offered through emails from the airport, we were taken to drop bags off then dropped at the shopping centre. The cleaner was lovely, towels changed and a thorough clean through mid week which was really nice. We weren’t aware but this is quite an exclusive area of the Algarve and if you have a wander around and look at the properties this becomes quite clear. It is a lovely quiet area, the beach is around 20 - 25 minute walk, the local shopping centre with supermarket was also around 25 minute walk. Excellent communication, answered queries really quickly and a quick visit to explain a few things through early in the week was really useful and not an intrusion at all. I would definitely recommend this villa and would be very happy to visit again.
