Amazing Villa - Great Communication
Couple of little teething problems in the first couple of days - snib on a door wasn’t working and then a leak in the kitchen, but both problems were solved or acknowledged very quickly. Comms with Charles were amazing and all of the advice and recommendations were greatly appreciated. We had terrible weather, so the smart TV was a godsend with the kids. Easily able to login to Disney and Netflix! And the close proximity to the tennis club for food was fantastic. Amazing Villa overall. An option to make the master bedroom a double with zip up would have been icing on the cake.

Well Maintained villa and responsive host
Stayed with family over May half term and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Villa was clean and comfortable, benefited from the heated pool and a new set of garden furniture arriving on our first day.
Charles was very responsive to sort out the very few and very minor issues during the week. Also very flexible on arrival and departure times.
The villa is located right next to the tennis courts and we enjoyed a family game of tennis on several occasions. Nice to sit out on the upper terrace at night.
Equal distance between the 2 beach areas which was a plus!
Would recommend this villa.

We loved staying in this villa! It offered plenty of space and was perfectly equipped so that you can really make yourself feel at home.
Location is amazing - walkable to lots of lovely bars and restaurants! Be sure to benefit from the happy hour at the tennis academy! Will stay again for sure! Thank you again :)

So good we should keep it quiet!
Usually at the end of a holiday spent in a property rental and considering what feedback to give, it is often quick and convenient just to give 5 stars and say “great holiday” irrespective of the experience.
In this case however our comments and thanks to the owners are genuine and heartfelt.
The first thing to say is that the villa is beautiful and immediately felt like home. As tennis players it could not be better located not only to play but also to enjoy watching others being coached. We quickly found our bearings thanks to the maps and guide provided, and enjoyed the beaches in every direction. The 2 terraces are perfect for different times of the day, and the pool was enjoyed by our son who loves water and was with us for 3 days, and surprisingly also by us, who are less keen swimmers 🏊♀️! The facilities including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and lounge are more than ideal, and we were even able to enjoy World Cup rugby on the TV.
We would have no hesitation whatsoever in returning (should you have us back) or indeed recommending you to our friends.

Algarve at its Best
Amazing stay in Algarve, in large part due to the attention of our hosts. They were attentive from reservation to departure handling our inquiries and specific requests. We highly recommend this property for its location, cleanliness and critically important the hosts.
We may not be able to return, but we have travelled the world and this is a top our list for gracious vacation experience.

The villa was perfect!
Very large, clean and comfortable, we even checked the brand of mattress on the beds they were so comfy. Well equipped although another set of towels would be helpful but there’s a washing machine so we washed ours.
Few minor issues as I think we were the first visitors for a while but contacted the owner and they were sorted straight away.
This is our 4th holiday to Vale do lobo and although it has grown since our last visit, still great beach, great facilities and great restaurants the only downside is the bus in no longer free at 60 euros pp and an email from the owner!
I would definitely book bike hire before you arrive, the bikes around the resort are for owners only.
We hope to visit again soon and would definitely recommend this owner and villa

We have already rebooked!
The villa is set at the end of a peaceful lane in central VDL. The villas are nicely tucked away and are in a quiet spot overlooking the tennis courts. The villa is in a traditional style and is furnished very comfortably in a tasteful way. The pool was just big enough for adults to cool off in and would be perfect for younger ones as it had a good sized shallow end.
Everything was in great working order and we made use of the washing machine. The villa is surprisingly spacious for a 3 bedroom and the master bedroom is a fantastic size. I particularly enjoyed sunbathing on the roof terrace which was very private and peaceful. If you are looking for a peaceful, spacious, central and traditional villa, this is the one for you.

A luxurious, well maintained and well situated property
A delightful villa.
This property is luxurious and well maintained, with tasteful decor, and extremely comfortable beds and sofas.
My husband was delighted with the range of channels available on the television.
It overlooks the tennis courts at Vale de Lobo, which are set amongst trees, and makes this a lovely retreat.
The pool is warm and clean. There are two outdoor seating areas ... perfect for outdoor dining. The kitchen is very well equipped, and there are good wine glasses - so often missing from a rental property!
One of our favourite features was the log burning fire, which made the villa pretty and cosy at night.
Karen and Charles, the property owners, were charming and marvellously helpful. They recommended some excellent restaurants situated nearby.

Late summer getaway
We had a great stay and enjoyed the facilities the villa had to offer. It's a lovely location. A car is a must as restaurants and supermarket are too far to walk.
The information about the villa and surrounding area was really useful and directions were spot on!
The decor and homely feel was just what we wanted, it would have been better if there was bin bags, dish cloth, kitchen and extra toilet roll as well as salt provided as these are basics we expected to be in the villa.
The pool was ideal and nice and private and definitely needed to be heated in October.
Communications with the owner was good and happy to help.

Excellent location, excellent villa and lovely pool
We rent villas quite often and it's rare to find one so well equipped and with so much internal space. The first floor master suite is massive and the adjoining sun terrace is the place to be in the mornings - we were there in April and the ground floor terrace didn't get the sun until a bit later on. There is a large table outside under shade for alfresco dining as well as sun beds and the lovely (heated) pool, which is ideal for kids with a maximum depth of about 5ft. The owners were very helpful, as were the management company staff and their maintenance team. There is a small cafe at the tennis academy just a short walk away, but the nearest restaurants are the best part of a mile away. A car is a definite advantage.
Anyway, we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it.

amazing well equipped villa, lovely location particularly for golfers and tennis players
If you're staying early season I would definitely recommend the pool heating - it might be an extra expense but it was money very well spent.
The owners were easily contactable in advance and also during our visit and offered sensible advice on where to eat.
Sky tv another added bonus if you have children! The wifi was nice and reliable too!

A terrific week in Vale de Lobo. Nice apartment with all essential amenities. Suited us perfectly for week of relaxation. Nice outdoor furniture, spacious balconies and a heated pool. Location is a little away from the beach but we found a nice short cut around the side of the tennis courts which saved 5/10 mins. Nice restaurants in the area which were recommended by the owner. We found having a car essential for getting to supermarkets and restaurants but everything we required for the week was within 15/20 mins of the apartment.

Property itself is great, lots of space, sky, wifi, heated pool, lots of movies and very comfortable overall. Golf fees were also greatly reduced and the courses are top class. A great property and the owners couldn't have been more helpful, responsive and keen for us to have a great holiday in their villa. Highly recommended.

The villa is perfect, nice quiet location. The added view over the tennis academy is great lots to watch during the day. The pictures of the villa do not do it justice. Lovely walks around the area and not far to the boardwalk.Shops and restaurants not to far and a wide range of different cuisines. Will be returning next year.
