We loved staying in Gale!
We were a family with young children traveling with family and friends and this was perfect for people of all ages. Beach was so close and neighboring towns were easy to get to by car. We would stay here again!

First time in Gale
Location of property is excellent, eateries and supermarket a 5 minute stroll.Spacious and clean, although outside seating area is looking a bit worn, roof of pergola was weather worn and torn, and some of the tiles around the pool were broken and lifting. Not a problem for us but might be for children. Pool heating made swimming a pleasure. Couldn't open the shutters in one of the bedrooms which we were told had been reported and someone would come to fix. No-one turned up. Overall enjoyed our stay in villa Magali.
The amount of 750 euro damage deposit seems excesive, but was refunded promptly.

It was a fantastic stay at a fantastic place.
Spacious, clean and fully equipped. The house felt cosy inside and the pool and outside seating area were just perfect. Can’t fault the place at all. Well worth the price if more than 4 are staying.
There isn’t much more for me to say as the house was absolutely beautiful and made the whole trip perfect.

The villa is well equipped, very well located and had plenty of space for a family of 8 and a baby
Restaurants, cafes, supermarket and the beach are just a short walk although the villa is in a quiet neighbourhood. We were met at the villa on arrival, which was nice. There was a small welcome pack provided. We had a small issue with the pool, but this was dealt with promptly. Antonio and everyone else I communicated with was very helpful and friendly. There is a problem with the dishwasher which I didn't have time to report. The lower basket obstructs the bottom spray arm which won't spin. This prevents dishes/plates from being washed. When we discovered what the problem was, we just washed everything (a lot!) by hand. But, aside from this we had a great time and I highly recommend this great family sized villa.

Villa Magali was perfect for our stay.
Villa Magali was perfect for our stay. Lovely villa in a great location. Very close to the beach, and a few good restaurants. Supermarket only a few minutes walk away had everything you could need. The pool and outside space was wonderful. The staff at Seashell were really helpful with transfers etc. We hope to visit again some time soon.

We are glad to hear that you had a good time in our property and enjoyed our services.
Looking forward to welcome you again in the Algarve.
Superb location, gardens & pool. Interior looking a little tired. Lacking some cutlery, glasses etc, fridge freezer approaching the end of its life & coffee machine needs replacing.
Four girlfriends from High School, now in our 70's, totally loved our stay. We each had our own room and bathroom! The place was perfect and we really enjoyed the outdoor space for playing cards and relaxing. You need a car staying here. We walked a couple easy blocks to the beach where there were restaurants and beach walking. We drove our car to take the Bengal cave tour via boat and then walked the cliffs as well. Beautiful! Highly recommend.

The location was great.
The location was great, walking distance to the beach, grocery store, and some local restaurants. Kids loved the pool, especially on the cooler days where it was windy and chilly at the beach. House has a washer, but no dryer, which we did not realize until the laundry was wet. Great outdoor space. Three bedrooms/bathrooms are upstairs and one bedroom/bathroom is on the main level. Thanks for a great stay!

Heated pool listed needs to be clearer that it’s payable, at least 48 hrs notice needed once heated the pool was divine. Hot Water capacity not sure it would cater for 8 persons we struggled with 5 persons in October, AC/heating units packed up during stay top of villa cold at night in October not fixed during our stay. When working lovely 😊. Transfer from villa to airport sent wrong car on return had to get an Uber which was paid for cases travelled separately. Stressful but they put it right so again just double check prior to departure. Beach nearby superb food lovely overall we would book again but the hot water puts us off

Perfect location - unfortunately not the villa.
The villa’s location is perfect —close to a supermarket, restaurants, bars, and a beautiful beach—all within walking distance, making a car unnecessary. We’ve stayed in the Galé area many times, but unfortunately, we won’t return to this particular villa.Upon arrival, we found a severe fly infestation throughout all 4 bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and stairwell windows. Despite contacting the host, the remedy was minimal: only two plug-in repellents and a single spray were supplied - they simply gave them to me and left. The issue persisted throughout our stay, disturbing our sleep and causing numerous bites.The promised mid-stay towel and linen change was also mishandled. A man appeared on day 4 but didn’t do the job. When I followed up, the host incorrectly claimed we declined service.The villa was not secure, allowing unannounced access via the front gate. Additional issues included a broken pool filter cover (unaddressed for over two years) and a single umbrella hidden behind the shower.Despite the villa’s lower price, the fly infestation, poor maintenance, and subpar guest service made the stay disappointing. We regret not booking a more reliable villa nearby—this one simply wasn’t worth the savings.

Exceptional location
All aspects of the accomodation were excellent apart from there is no heater on the main level which gets quite cold in winter month's and the fireplace does not generate any significant heat. All bedrooms have heat and AC. Just the first floor requires something.
Main floor needs a heater

The location was excellent, close to supermarket and beach.
The cover for the pool filter was dangerous and one one of our party tripped on it resulting on their foot going down it cutting their leg. One of the sun umbrellas needs replacing and the outside areas were a bit grubby.
A great location for me and my family to enjoy my birthday, we had a great time the location was great and the villa outstanding. The local restaurants/ cafe were good and the beach was second to none. I will recommend to my friends if they were thinking off going on holiday to the Algarve.
