Tranquil, secure, spacious, gorgeous private pool.
A lovely quiet villa situated on a dead end road, meaning no traffic drone. The pool is great, and the garden is far more spacious than the photos suggest. There is an almost tame Jay that will land on your breakfast table, eye you up and down, walk across the table to your plate, and swipe a piece of chopped melon! And then again! It will also land on your head with a squawk and fly off. Enchanting! PLEASE NO-ONE GET RID OF IT!! The bedrooms were very comfortable, the bathrooms airy and clean. The downstairs bathroom has a shower but no wall attachment, so it is impossible to have a decent shower with the handheld unit. Neither of the baths have non-slip surface stickers, or a non slip rubber mat in the tub. The floors of the villa are tiled, so lovely and cool, but coming down the stairs they are so well aligned that the last step you tend to overstep it if not careful. A non-slip visible edge on every step would be a great improvement. One thing that was VERY unsafe indeed is no hand rail on the stairs. It is unnerving having nothing to hold on to walking downstairs. The maintenance man could install a hand rail very easily.
The villa is near enough to the centre of Vilamoura to make it tranquil, and a joy to return to every day. The hand drawn map that is sent to you initially is completely useless! Request the map "Vilamoura Resort Map" ISBN 972-8554-77-X. It cost us €8.50 and is absolutely essential. (eBay has it at £22, and A$44.) Worth it's weight in gold.
The plane was delayed and then we got lost (NO MAP!!) and we found the agent Paulo patiently waiting for about 3 hours at near midnight! He is efficient, reliable, helpful and willing to answer any queries. (Note: when calling the provided numbers, put 00 before the country code.) The stove top ignition needed to be explained to me, there is a drip-coffee maker, but no cafetiere as they are unknown in Portugal. And there is no bottle opener or corkscrew. Bring one if you need it!
Watching golfers on the fairway from the lawn was great, added to the calm enjoyment. It is a welcoming villa well maintained, well laid out, light and secure and within easy distance of many other places to visit. We enjoyed our stay so much we intend to repeat it next year. Vilamoura is clean, tidy and delightful, the Marina bliss for strolling, the restaurants providing delicious meals at decent prices. All highly recommended. Enjoy it. We certainly did!
