Amazing Villa - Great Communication

Couple of little teething problems in the first couple of days - snib on a door wasn’t working and then a leak in the kitchen, but both problems were solved or acknowledged very quickly. Comms with Charles were amazing and all of the advice and recommendations were greatly appreciated. We had terrible weather, so the smart TV was a godsend with the kids. Easily able to login to Disney and Netflix! And the close proximity to the tennis club for food was fantastic. Amazing Villa overall. An option to make the master bedroom a double with zip up would have been icing on the cake.

Fantastic autumn break

We really had a fantastic week in Algarve and the house met all our expectations. The location next to the tennis and padelcenter is absolutely perfect. The pool was very nice and all the beds really comfy. We got so much help from Charles with everything from tips of car rental and tee times at the golf courses to the best restaurants nearby.

Perfect for a stay with a little one

We loved staying in this villa! It offered plenty of space and was perfectly equipped so that you can really make yourself feel at home. Location is amazing - walkable to lots of lovely bars and restaurants! Be sure to benefit from the happy hour at the tennis academy! Will stay again for sure! Thank you again :)

An amazing, well equipped villa. Would definitely recommend!

We have just returned from an amazing weeks stay in this villa. It was just as described with everything you could possibly need. It was beautifully quiet, in a great location. Karen and Charles provided all the information we could need to make sure everything went smoothly. We would definitely visit again.

Algarve at its Best

Amazing stay in Algarve, in large part due to the attention of our hosts. They were attentive from reservation to departure handling our inquiries and specific requests. We highly recommend this property for its location, cleanliness and critically important the hosts. We may not be able to return, but we have travelled the world and this is a top our list for gracious vacation experience.

fantastic property in a great location

Well equipped 3 bedroom property situated next to the tennis courts meaning ideally suited to take advantage of the facilities of Val Do Lobo, yet with privacy to relax and do nothing as the mood takes. We have stayed here for the past four years and return each year as it feels home from home with the pool getting significant use! One of those places which once found you naturally want to return to.

amazing well equipped villa, lovely location particularly for golfers and tennis players

If you're staying early season I would definitely recommend the pool heating - it might be an extra expense but it was money very well spent. The owners were easily contactable in advance and also during our visit and offered sensible advice on where to eat. Sky tv another added bonus if you have children! The wifi was nice and reliable too!

Well Maintained villa and responsive host

Stayed with family over May half term and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Villa was clean and comfortable, benefited from the heated pool and a new set of garden furniture arriving on our first day. Charles was very responsive to sort out the very few and very minor issues during the week. Also very flexible on arrival and departure times. The villa is located right next to the tennis courts and we enjoyed a family game of tennis on several occasions. Nice to sit out on the upper terrace at night. Equal distance between the 2 beach areas which was a plus! Would recommend this villa.

Nice villa and good location

We decided to book ourselves a last minute holiday in the Algarve and booked this villa just a couple of days prior to our arrival. The owners were very fast in responding to our questions and very flexible. The villa is spacious and located at the heart of Vale do Lobo, opposite the tennis courts (which were virtually empty during our stay...). Beach was about a ten minute walk. Overall, we have enjoyed our stay very much, and would recommend the villa.

Excellent location, excellent villa and lovely pool

We rent villas quite often and it's rare to find one so well equipped and with so much internal space. The first floor master suite is massive and the adjoining sun terrace is the place to be in the mornings - we were there in April and the ground floor terrace didn't get the sun until a bit later on. There is a large table outside under shade for alfresco dining as well as sun beds and the lovely (heated) pool, which is ideal for kids with a maximum depth of about 5ft. The owners were very helpful, as were the management company staff and their maintenance team. There is a small cafe at the tennis academy just a short walk away, but the nearest restaurants are the best part of a mile away. A car is a definite advantage. Anyway, we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it.

So good we should keep it quiet!

Usually at the end of a holiday spent in a property rental and considering what feedback to give, it is often quick and convenient just to give 5 stars and say “great holiday” irrespective of the experience. In this case however our comments and thanks to the owners are genuine and heartfelt. The first thing to say is that the villa is beautiful and immediately felt like home. As tennis players it could not be better located not only to play but also to enjoy watching others being coached. We quickly found our bearings thanks to the maps and guide provided, and enjoyed the beaches in every direction. The 2 terraces are perfect for different times of the day, and the pool was enjoyed by our son who loves water and was with us for 3 days, and surprisingly also by us, who are less keen swimmers 🏊‍♀️! The facilities including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and lounge are more than ideal, and we were even able to enjoy World Cup rugby on the TV. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in returning (should you have us back) or indeed recommending you to our friends.

937 Vale do lobo

The villa was perfect! Very large, clean and comfortable, we even checked the brand of mattress on the beds they were so comfy. Well equipped although another set of towels would be helpful but there’s a washing machine so we washed ours. Few minor issues as I think we were the first visitors for a while but contacted the owner and they were sorted straight away. This is our 4th holiday to Vale do lobo and although it has grown since our last visit, still great beach, great facilities and great restaurants the only downside is the bus in no longer free at 60 euros pp and an email from the owner! I would definitely book bike hire before you arrive, the bikes around the resort are for owners only. We hope to visit again soon and would definitely recommend this owner and villa

A wonderful vacation!

We booked a whole month out of season and had a wonderful time! The villa is large, spacious and very clean. The fact that even my wife thought it was clean says a lot! :-) We enjoyed using the heated pool and the bath tub(s). Also the upper terrace has loads of sunshine which we loved. The beds are also very comfortable, we only needed to get used to the beds being singles but that is a personal preference. There are also tennis courts very close which is especially great if you love playing tennis (we also got a very good discount for the courts and lessons via the owners). The beach is close (5 min drive) and some good restaurants at the beach (very fresh fish). The owners are very friendly, helped us gladly and responded very quickly to all our questions. All in all we loved spending our vacation there and would love to come back again soon!

We have already rebooked!

The villa is set at the end of a peaceful lane in central VDL. The villas are nicely tucked away and are in a quiet spot overlooking the tennis courts. The villa is in a traditional style and is furnished very comfortably in a tasteful way. The pool was just big enough for adults to cool off in and would be perfect for younger ones as it had a good sized shallow end. Everything was in great working order and we made use of the washing machine. The villa is surprisingly spacious for a 3 bedroom and the master bedroom is a fantastic size. I particularly enjoyed sunbathing on the roof terrace which was very private and peaceful. If you are looking for a peaceful, spacious, central and traditional villa, this is the one for you.

Férias excelentes!

A moradia está muito bem conservada, equipada e verifica-se a estima que o proprietário por ela. A propriedade está num local magnifico, em frente ao campos de ténis, os campos de golfe estão ali ao lado, a praia encontra-se a 15min (a pé), e a envolvente é optima para quem gosta de dar uma caminhada aproveitando as sombras dos pinheiros mansos, muito acessível a carrinho de bebés. Os proprietário são pessoas excelentes, desde o dia da reserva, tiveram o cuidado de explicar como é todos os equipamentos funcionavam, aconselharam os restaurantes e o locais de compras. E mesmo durante a estadia tiveram sempre a preocupação de perguntar se estava tudo bem. Espero voltar e recomendo.

Eu, minha esposa e filha passamos duas excelentes semanas de férias nesta propriedade, conjuntamente com alguns amigos que fomos convidando para estarem connosco ao longo desse tempo. Local muito calmo, estando a vivenda bem equipada. O contacto e disponibilidade do proprietário foi sempre excelente e adequado por parte da empresa de manutenção. A nota dois deve-se ao facto de só ter podido efetuar check in às 18:30. Local a repetir.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Wainwright

We live in the UK with our children, but love to escape to Portugal, as often as possible! With the flight being only 2 and a half hours and the resort being less than thirty minutes from the airport, it makes it all very easy. We hope you will enjoy the villa as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting the Algarve since we were children. We bought a two bedroom villa in Vale do Lobo sixteen years ago. Which was perfect for us until we had too many children! We wanted to buy a three bedroom villa but we waited for 12 years before our perfect villa (next door) came up for sale. We love this villa as it is away from the roads but has a lovely view over Tennis Valley. Vale do Lobo is a great resort with lovely restaurants, bars, beaches and golf courses.

What makes this property unique

We have just renovated the villa and put in new bathrooms, kitchen, tiling, TVs with Sky including sports, wifi and air-con. You will love it!
