We were a family of 8, and we couldn't fault the villa at all. Communication with the host and the manager was spot on. Nothing was too much trouble, If we needed anything or issues sorting all were carried out in a timely manner. The villa was spotless, had everything you needed. The supermarket was 1 minute walk away, just down a few steps and over the road. There was also a local inside market with butchers, fishmongers bakery and grocer with fruit and veg. There was numerous restaurants and bars nearby as well, nothing loud, just perfect for a few drinks. New York bar was just up the road from the supermarket, that played sport and the world cup. The beach was small but ideal and there are a few restaurants and bars there too, that was 10-15 minute walk away. The guitar pool was perfect for our family and 4 year old grandson. Would highly recommend this villa if you want a relaxing holiday with just a few bars and restaurants nearby. You can also get a bus or taxi into nearby Vilamoura or Albufeira. Every thing was just perfect. We all had the best time.
