Guest comments
(1)We have had a wonderful holiday. The villa is well positioned, gardens, pool and villa just perfect. Arriving late the welcome pack was much appreciated. We are pretty familiar with the Algarve having rented many villas and this is excellent. We may see you soon again.
(2) We had a fantastic stay in your villa and been out to some fantastic places. The games room fab and pool brilliant. Please thank the maid for putting my toy dog on my pyjamas, it gave us a giggle.
(3) Another year, another wonderful holiday here, in a fantastic location, quiet and peaceful. It is a haven having restored us just when we needed it. We will certainly be back next year - it's like our second home now!
(4) A wonderful, relaxing and perfect two weeks - thank you. Your villa has everything we could have hoped for, thank you for guiding us from the airport, it sums up the quality of the whole experience. We leave with batteries re-charged and aim to return. Difficult to beat a villa like this.
