Amazing holiday!

The property was lovely! The pool was a great size and so were all the rooms. Great location, with just a short Uber ride to the main town. A beautiful beach just a short walk away and some lovely restaurants. My only advice would be to use the Aldi a short 20mins walk away and a lot cheaper than the other supermarkets which are closer.

Great location

My family and I had an excellent stay. The villa was extremely close to the beach and an excellent Italian restaurant, where we ate most evenings. The villa itself was good, but in need of a little renovation (mainly painting/decorating) and the pool is in need of some TLC (tiles were missing and coming off the floor). That said we still had an amazing stay.

Family Holiday

There were a few issues with the property (front door lock replacement and unable to operate dishwasher effectively) which were dealt with quickly. We had great communication. With the property owner before the trip as first time traveling abroad with an infant. Appreciated the attempt at stair gate on both top and bottom of the stairs.

Nice but a little dated property

We had nice stay at Villa Manuel. The Villa is spacious and in good location: near to the beach, grocery shop (expensive one though) and some restaurants. Nice guarded property with peacefully location. However the property seems to be quite dated e.g tiles missing from the swimming pool, walls could use some fresh paint and washer has seen the best days. We actually noticed that the property is listed for sale which might mean that there are no motivation to do any improvements. Also the Villa is not fully equipped for large groups. There was not enough knives or large pans for cooking but maybe the assumption is that the guests are eating out? However few knives were provided when requested. Communication with the team was ok when they responded but we had some difficulties to reach them before the arrival which caused some stress. Also during the stay not all of our communication was responded. Overall the stay was ok but with the price you’d expect to get something premium and this Villa is not that.

A Very Nice House (and very, very close to the Beach)

From the team that manages the Villa until the Villa itself and its ammenities and seaside proximity, everything is 5-star.

Manuel

The villa was lovely and the pool clean. On check out, Manuel found us another villa for the afternoon until our flight later in the day. This was much appreciated.

Wonderful villa and fantastic holiday! - 5*

We had a brilliant time at Villa Manuel this spring. The villa was everything we hoped it would be, clean, contemporary and comfortable. The pool was fantastic and heated (as requested) so great for our 1 year old to swim in every day. The location of the villa is fantastic. 5 minute walk to the beach, excellent restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Our contact during the stay, Manuel, was incredibly helpful, friendly and if we needed anything he was so quick to be in touch with us. The transfer company (to and from the airport) were also excellent, on time, lovely vehicles and friendly drivers. We'd definitely stay here again! Thanks to all for a wonderful family holiday.

Excellent Location

On arrival we were greeted to the villa by our very courteous, helpful and friendly host Manuel. The villa was approx. a 45 minute drive from Faro Airport and we had hired 2 cars for our stay. (4 adults and 3 kids) Soon after arriving we realised we most definitely did not need 2 cars. Everything is so close to the villa, even having small kids age 6, 4 and 6 months, with their small little steps and pushing a buggy we could walk to the beach in 10 minutes ( a lot less for an adult on their own) There was a mini market directly across the road and a number of larger supermarkets very close by. You could stay in this villa without any car as a taxi to Albuferia for example was approx. €13. There was a company right across the road organising trips to zoomarine and aqua parks etc so while you do have a little more freedom with a car I don't think you would spend the car hire price on buses taxis etc. The beach in Gale is beautiful and has some wonderful resteraunts. You can walk all along the beach to the neighbouring town or use the boardwalk for part of the journey. It is about a 9.5k round trip best done in the morning or evening before the real heat kicks in!! We would definitely return to stay in this area and would love to come back to stay in Villa Manuel.

Very modern and cozy Villa

We stayed as a young group of 8 for 1 week. We really loved the villa! It had everything we needed to chill out (including a PS3 for some Fifa Tournament evenings). The beach is just a few minutes away and so are some very nice restaurants to eat at in the evenings. Upon arrival at the villa Manuel met us to give us the keys. He was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We loved the fact that there were 2 BBQ's to choose from (one for gas, one for coal) and there was a gas tank already there so we could start BBQing straight away. We would gladly stay again if we're back in the area some day. Thanks again!
