So glad you had a lovely time! For anyone reading this, the Villa was refurbished and redecorated 5 years ago with good quality new furniture, fixtures and fittings imported from the UK. The bathrooms are original and are now tired, but will be completely refurbished this year after the holiday season, and other areas will be redecorated. The villa was also fitted with with new shutters and windows throughout.

Fantastic Stay in an exceptional villa

We found this villa a real home from home, so stylishly furnished and presented really nicely. Could not fault anything especially the sofas! Lovely and central in Vale de Lobo it's right opposite the tennis academy and only a ten minute stroll to the beaches that nestle beside the sandstone ciffs.

Photos do not do this villa justice, much more spacious inside than it looks. Perfect location being a 20 minute walk to the beach. Ubers very cheap if you don’t have a car. Management agency and owner very pleasant and efficient. Would highly recommend.

FABULOUS!

Beautiful 'home from home'. The owner has really taken care to furnish the villa to a high standard with good quality items. 3 beautiful terraces to sit quietly and enjoy the sunshine or mix and mingle with family. Great location, 2 minutes from the tennis academy and within good walking distance of the beach. Very enjoyable holiday and looking forward to returning!

Super location in Vale Do Lobo

Our family had a super stay at Gill’s villa. Perfectly positioned by the tennis club, equidistant from the Praca and the restaurants on Garrao beach. House is spacious and comfy, quiet position. Perfect stay. Gill was easy to communicate with. Also Uber was incredibly reasonable, €5 trip to Julias’s etc so we didn’t rent a car which was lovely.

Fabulous villa in an idylic spot on the Algarve

A beautiful villa in an idyllic location on the Algarve for a wonderfully relaxing break. Furnished to a high standard, everything had been thought of and every facility you could ask for was available. Even able to keep up to date with UK TV. Location would be difficult to beat, The Tennis Academy is close at hand (access is included with the villa) and the beach, and some fabulous restaurants and bars are all nearby. Would definitely visit again and recommend to anyone.

Great villa. Home from home.

The villa was perfect for what we wanted and could afford. Has all the creature comforts you could want on holiday which helps you relax. Has aircon but we hardly needed to use it as it stays very cool. Pool with cafe is very convenient but beach is amazing so spent most time there. All in all highly recommended.

Lovely and Very Spacious Villa

It was very spacious and very clean. The sitting room was very relaxing. The bedrooms are all large and two are en-suite. The different balconies were nice to use at different parts of the day. The villa is well situated in Val do Lobo, near tennis academy and not far from golf and beach. We had a great week and happy to recommend villa to others. No negatives.

Perfect

Just spent nearly 2 weeks here. The villa was spacious (with the most comfortable sofa EVER ! )for our family of 4 and the location is perfect for both the Praca and Julia’s beach. Uber’s are always available within minutes and the restaurants are superb. Two must visit places are BJ’s on music days and The Shack for the kids. The tennis academy is minutes away although the swimming pool area and gym is a bit tired so my suggestion is to head to the beach. We would definitely stay here again

Fabulous villa, fantastic host

Lovely, clean, comfortable villa presented to a very high standard. The villa sits in a quiet part of the resort, with easy access to the tennis club, praca/beach and golf club. Lovely comfortable bed, fabulous living space with the most sumptuous sofas. Well equipped kitchen with good quality equipment. Gill as a host was fantastic, quick to respond and so supportive in allowing us if needed due to flight changes to a full refund. Thankfully we were able to stay in Gill's lovely home. We hope to be back again in the future.

Lovely Villa and great host

We had a lovely stay at Gill’s villa. She is a very responsive and helpful host and quick to respond. The Villa has new bathrooms and kitchen and is extremely comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. We breakfasted on the downstairs terrace every morning which was quiet and is screened by bushes. We enjoyed use of the tennis club pool and gym as part of the package. It’s a great location- right by the tennis academy and within easy walking distance of the Praca. We highly recommend and would love to visit again. A great holiday.

Lovely house in a great location

Very impressed with the comfortable living room with quality furnishings and tasteful decor. The icing on the cake is the lovely patio in the front of the house which is very private compared with neighbouring houses, and we ate most of our meals out here. The house is a 2 minute walk to the tennis club and its pool, which was a great place to swim and relax, and it's easy to get around the resort on foot, as well as by the convenient resort buses from this house. The wifi is good and fast, and the beds are comfortable, with quality cotton linens too. All in all, a great house, highly recommended.
