There are several well stocked supermarkets and a huge selection of good restaurants to choose from. Although close to the Algarve’s most popular resort Albufeira, we find most of our guests only pay the odd visit into Albufeira, preferring the beauty and peace and quite of the area around our villas, and its fabulous beaches.

Within easy walking distance are several restaurants and bars, a small shop for day to day essentials, and a supermarket. There are other larger supermarkets with two minutes drive.

Easy Self Catering
Especially for larger parties, If you would like to take the pain out of the cost of dining out regularly, or the strain out of cooking for your party whilst on holiday, the nearby Apolonia Supermarket at Gale offers a daily range of ready made meals in their delicatessen which are excellent. They are normally available every day as starters, main course and desserts and you buy it by the kilo so you can take as much or as little as you like.

The menu changes each week.

Top Class Villa

The pictures of this villa do not do it justice. This place is outstanding. We had 5 adults and 5 children and has so much space. We couldn't fault anything. It had everything you could need and more. Beautifully kept garden and bbq area. So safe for children (which was a big thing for us) the housekeeper who was so lovely and arrived second day with fresh towels and gave the house a tidy. The location is just a few minutes drive away from everything yet you still get to enjoy a peaceful rural area. I would highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back next year.

Second stay, superb villa.

This was our second stay here and once again we couldn't fault it. Villa is very clean and very well equipped. Contact from the owner is very good. Id also like to point out that we stayed here whilst there was no air bridge agreed between the UK and Portugal. However this didn't affect our holiday in anyway at all. Portugal is a very safe place to have a family holiday, we felt very safe and welcome in the Algarve.

Fabulous!

This holiday home let met and exceeded all expectations. Truly. Incredibly well thought out and designed , the high specifications in the finish adding to a sense of pragmatic opulence. Amazing. Ensuites; air conditioning; fantastic swimming pool ; lovely garden area and roof top terrace, outdoor table tennis and kitchen. More than enough space meant that all family members needs were met.The location of the house means you are near to everything and yet quietly enclosed in your own very special place. This house was a perfect base for our multi generational family annual holiday.A large group - 10 of us ranging from 7years upwards and everyone had a terrific time. The design and lay out of the house played a vital part in enabling that to happen. So many cherished memories have been made here this year. Excellent beaches ( one only 10-15 min walk from the house) and amnetities all withinin 10 mins drive or a short drive into Albufeira. Lovely, discreet friendly and helpful couple of housekeeper and pool guy who live close by , added to a sense of a well run and much cared for property. It’s not that often that a rental, even a top of the range one like this ,exceeds expectations. This rental really does!

Lovely luxury villa in a great location. Couldn't fault anything!

Great villa that catered easily for our party of 9. Everything of a high specification and exceptionally clean with the housekeeper coming in 3 times a week. Lovely pool and BBQ area. We hired a car for our weeks stay but if you don't want to drive there is a beach and shop within easy walking distance. This is one of the best villas we have stayed in and we do a villa holiday each year. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful, modern, well equipped luxury villa!

This is one of the best villas we have stayed in by far. The house is a great size and equipped with everything. It's got more kitchen equipment then I have at home! All the rooms are good size with generous wardrobe space and ensuite. The fact that you get the place cleaned and beds made a couple times a week is an amazing touch for a self catering facility. We called the villa managers who I think live a couple of doors down because we needed a high chair and they were there in a couple of hours with one and checking if there is anything else we need. We paid to heat the pool as we travelled mid/late May and that was money well spent, our toddler loved it. The air temperature was only 21degCel sometimes so it was warmer in the pool than out. It's in a great location too. If you like the touristy/loud bar scene then albufeira is close by but if you're like us and you want somewhere peaceful away from all that, this is perfect for that too! If you drive less than 5minutes in the opposite direction you can find some gorgeous quiet coves and beach's with a small bar/restaurant for snacks and can sunbathe on hired beds and make sandpits. A couple of these places are walkable. I would definitely recommend this villa and location to families.

Great villa, great location, great value - perfect

An excellent villa in a great location. Would we return? - undoubtedly yes. Would we look elsewhere in the Algarve - undoubtedly no. This was a high end villa that was spotlessly clean, both inside and out. It was extremely well designed and very well equipped and was difficult to fault. The pool and BBQ area were first-rate, but some excellent restaurants were close by and the beaches were walking distance or a short drive.away. Why go anywhere else?

Luxury Algarve Villa

The villa completely matched the description and more! Outside provided a large pool, water feature, grassed area with many mature olive trees, a terrace area with room for sun beds and which received the sun throughout the day. There was also a covered area with a BBQ, power and sink. A large table and chairs ment outside eating was enjoyed in comfort. There was also a washing machine. Both the in and outside were immaculately maintained. Inside the property was shear luxury. We tried to think of something else you could need but we were defeated. Five en-suite bedrooms plus an additional bathroom, separate dining room, lounge area and a perfectly appointed kitchen plus additional first floor terraces completed the property. The manager was easy to contact and responded quickly to a slight problem with a safe. Finally, there are several quality restaurants within a 15 minute walk, the beach is 10 minutes away and shopping Algarve is a short drive away. Our family had a fantastic holiday and we would recommend the property to everyone looking for a luxury villa.

Beautiful holiday Villa

The property exceeded all our expectations. It was wonderful to have 6 adults and one young adult each with their own space and privacy because of the size and design of the villa. All of the bathrooms were beautifully furnished. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was very effective but the villa seemed to keep relatively cool considering temperatures reached 40 C on over 3 occasions. The housekeeper did an amazing job of cleaning and tidying but was totally discreet. Just one thing, what about a circular washing line at the side of the villa? The outside area is so spacious, the pool beautiful and everywhere is so well maintained.Finally, I would recommend a hire car to visit all the wonderful beaches and villages around the villa. We would have no hesitation in recommending this villa to anyone. Many thanks for a superb holiday. Sue and Rob Wilson.

Luxury in the sun...

We have frequented this wonderful property 4 times now & never tire of all that it has to offer. It has 5 ensuite bedrooms all individually decorated to a high standard,each balcony serving a sea view, fabulous surroundings outside for those lazy days where you can while away an hour or two by cooling off in the large maintained pool in fact it's a shame to actually leave the villa! There are also extensive grounds and fabulous views from the roof top also, However if you chose to there are at least 4/5 lovely restaurants in walking distance from the villa which is an added bonus. Dom Dinis is literally a stones throw which offers tasty dishes to tempt anyone's palate & a big plus for us was the bar attached for those pre or after dinner cocktails. Another of our long standing favourites which again is very close is Oh Maheinero , beautifully refurbed, pristine turned out staff & food to a very high standard. You won't be disappointed in fact you won't want to go anywhere else on a return visit.
