About this property

Refurbished, home from home. Villa with private Pool. VDL resort members

After 16 years of family holidays and full usages we finally took the decision to fully upgrade the villa. 2025 we re-decorated inside and out, reshaped and retiled the front terrace and pool. Changed the funiture, beds and installed a new kitchen with all new modern appliances. We are in the heart of Vale de Flores, in Vale do Lobo and we are resort members. Set amongst the Portuguese pine trees, Casa dos Pinheiros is an ideal home-from-home for your next family holiday. The Villa is on a quiet cobbled street, close to the 8th hole of the Ocean golf course. It offers a beautiful base for a fab holiday. The property has great living space and air condition in every room. 3 Bedrooms and 3 bathrooms over 2 floors. The 1st floor terrace at the front has sea views and offers wonderful additional outside sitting space. The newly reshaped private pool can be heated at your request, at a cost depending on the time of year. The front patio has new comfortable seating and sunbeds by the pool side. The back garden has a built-in BBQ and a new gas BBQ, a large dining table perfect for summer evenings, or spring time breakfast. Steps leads up to a roof terrace with stunning views of the surroundings. Our Vale do Lobo membership can give you guest discount on golf.

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay and gracious host at this villa in Vale do Lobo. This is our second time staying at the resort and, as before, had a wonderful experience. The villa was clean, comfortable, and well appointed to make us feel at home. Within minutes of the beach, amenities, and the many enjoyable aspects of the Algarve.

Family holidays

A chance for us all to get together. We chose this villa for quality and location. Betina was very helpful at all times and sent all relevant information prior to our arrival. The villa was very clean and comfortable. It was well equipped and provided a great setting for our holiday. There are activities nearby but they all add considerable cost to your stay. Guests should research membership if Val de Lobo to see what is available and associated costs.

Beautiful terraced house in Algarve.

Great house with three very nice bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathrooms. Well organised, furnished and everything needed. Easy to check in and very responsive host. Everything worked very well in the house. Shopping in the local supermarket is good, and very nice restaurants around. The pool is a bit small, and the distance to the great beach is about 25 min walking, so a good exercise. The area is well kept, however there has been a recent fire that has impaired the view from the back side of the house.

Lovely villa but need transport for beach, shopping and restaurants

The villa is very spacious with great air con., lovely beds and furniture, In a lovely setting, although the fires destroyed the park at the rear. It takes around 25 mins to walk to beach etc. We managed without a car and used the excellent uber cars. Unfortunately we spent some time sweeping around the pool and clearing the pool filters when we arrived and there were cigaret butts and bird mess. The maid came twice during our week stay to clean indoors but didn’t change the towels. The lady who owns the villa is lovely but I think the management company are letting her down somewhat.

Dear Sheila. Please may I thank you for your kind words. I am sorry to hear that the pool area wasn't tidy enough on your arrival and I have forwarded your comments to our management company. It is the first time we have had negative comments on their performance and I truly hope the last. Going forward I will make sure to mention that towels are only changed once a week when welcoming future holiday guest. We hope to welcome you and your family again. Kind Regards, Betina

This property was tired and in need of updating. Outside paintwork and woodwork need redoing. The barbecue needed cleaning and the rusty grills replacing and although management company responded it wasn’t until near the end of holiday they were replaced. The fridge freezer was defective and would over freeze in the fridge if door not pushed shut, also damaged inside.We had no response from the management company on use of the safe after we asked to use it. It was closed on arrival. We were also told they didn’t want us to use the alarm system.

Dear Sallie I am so sorry to hear you didn’t get quick enough response from our management agents, and I wish you had contacted me, which I encouraged in all my messages to you. It’s so hard for me to step in to help if I don't know you are having issues. I truly hope you still enjoyed your holiday and appreciated all the brand new beds, new sheets, new bedding, new towels, complimentary maid service, new smart tv and otherwise homely feel we have tried to create to give you and anyone else who wish to stay in our lovely holiday home.

Férias espetaculares

Usufruímos da casa na semana de 10 a 17 de agosto, uma família de 6: casal, filhos de 10 e 19 anos e os avós. A casa serviu muito bem para todos porque cada um tinha um quarto com casa de banho. Muito confortável e bem decorada. Ótimo espaço para férias, ambiente seguro, calmo num aldeamento muito privado. A zona da piscina foi muito usada, apenas pediria para a próxima vez a piscina aquecida. Recomendo!

A Beautiful home from home with a heated pool. Fantastic for ALL the family!

We had a fantastic stay at Betina's property which is located at the back of the Vale do Lobo community resort. The house is so much more beautiful than the pictures - we stayed as a family of 5 with children and grandparents and the property worked really well. Three spacious bedrooms all with their own bathrooms, a beautiful living area with British TV and board games and x2 verandas to sit out on. Betina was SO helpful and gave us restaurant recommendations as well as helping us with a few issues whilst we were away. The house also has a local property manager - KG Villas- who were also fantastic and incredibly helpful! Betina's house has little added extras like parasols to take to the beach, floats for the pool and games which my children loved playing. The kitchen was also so well equipped and it made cooking when we weren't eating out really easy and enjoyable. Things I wish I'd known- there's an amazing Lidl just down the road for shopping as well as a convenience store on the resort. The pool isn't huge but is perfect for the kids to splash around in / float on a ringo and read. The house is at the back of the resort so walking down to the beach with young children is a challenge. It means a car or access to the resort mini-bus is needed but both are easy to do. The bugs are bad so insect spray is needed ( we were there in October.) People get really dressed up for dinner in the Golden Triangle in certain places - take your lovely dresses & going out clothes. Thank you to Betina for a lovely and really memorable holiday. We hope to visit your beautiful holiday home again!

One week stay for May 1/2 term

The holiday was initially planned for Summer 2020, but we rescheduled due to the Covid uncertainty. The owner was very flexible around rescheduling/refunds due to the changing circumstances. The Villa was perfect for the 5 of us. It was bigger than we expected and the multiple gardens and terraces were perfect for catching morning and late sun. The heated pool worked well and could spend relaxing afternoons by the pool with the children. The checkin/checkout process was very easy and the managing agents provided us details on where to get the Covid tests done before we left. Overall we had a great holiday in the villa and Val do Lobo. We plan to go back at some point.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs B Goodall

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 - who have always loved coming to Vale do Lobo. After renting for many years we decided to buy our own, something we have never regretted. We hope when you visit you will love our refurbished holiday home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love the fact our villa is a quiet street in Vale do Lobo. Some of the properties by the square can be noisy during the hight of summer. As Vale do Lobo Resort members we love to have the full use of all the many excellent facilities, but at the same time have beautiful 380 degrees views over green tree tops from our roof terrace.

What makes this property unique

We hope the photos of the villa shows just how much this villa is very much a home, rather than a just a 'rental' property and we will try our best to make your holiday the best it can be.

With every rental we offer complimentary maid service twice a week.

If you want maid service every day or perhaps a specific food parcel on arrival, just let us know, we are happy to help.

We will also email you our tested list of restaurant recommendations in the area, before you arrive.

Vale do Lobo offers an excellent car rental service, they meet you personally at the airport and walk you to the car in the short term car park. UBER are cheap or you can use the excellent Vale do Lobo mini bus service (small weekly cost) - or why not use the hop on hop off bikes now available and get fit at the same time!

If you are a golfer - speak to us, we will be able to book your rounds of golf as our guests, and therefore at discounted price.

If you want to play tennis or padel, Vale do Lobo has fantastic facilities, including their award winning academy weekly courses - for all ages.

The Vale do Lobo website will show you all the facilities, including the beautiful SPA and Gym, restaurants, child care etc www.valedolobo.com
