A home away from home

I loved this place. It looks like it does in the pictures. Slightly dated, but not shabby. Typically Portuguese. It’s huge, has its own little garden, and 4, yes 4 terraces. My 9 yr old had her own bedroom with a bed for herself and one for her teddy’s. She also had her own terrace and toy boxes in the room with toys. Our teenagers had a large room with their own en-suite and a door that meant they could shut us out at night haha. Before we came I messaged Nette a few times to ask if there were items like an iron, or a hairdryer. She was very communicative, and also patient with me, answering yes everytime. What I’m telling you is, don’t ask these questions. This place has EVERYTHING. After years of renting this place I can only surmise, that unlike other hosts who probably take and keep anything left behind by previous renters, Nette definitely does not do this. We had plenty of washing machine detergent, plenty of dishwasher tablets. Cleaning fluids, sun tan lotion, shampoo, you name it. There’s even a fully stocked drinks cabinet!! We loved that, but as we don’t drink we left it still fully stocked. But at meal times we did love to drop the door of it and stand our sodas, waters and iced tea bottles in there.We didn’t use the TV box, as we always take our own fire stick. However, I realised on tnf last day that the TV has loads of channels, and I’d missed the opportunity to watch the Man United game, and the snooker!! I want to go back already!

Balaia Golf Village in November

The villa is a nice sized three bedroom ground floor with a good sized garden area, set in a location that is not far from all that Balaia has to offer . It is well equipped with all necessary items and plenty of extras. The beds were comfortable. There are plenty of TV channels, if needed. We would stay again in the future.

Wonderful!

We have just enjoyed a glorious few days in Nette’s beautiful villa. From booking, to check-in, and any questions we had during our stay, Nette was a super host. The villa is the best equipped accommodation we have ever stayed in! You name it - it’s there; toiletries, condiments that you normally spend a fortune on when you first arrive, golf clubs, towels, books and much much more! I think it’s probably located in the best location in the village too! Balaia golf village itself is beautiful, with several pools to try out. The cafe bar at the pool immediately next to the villa was closed for a refurb while we were there so there was a bit of building noise but it all reopened the day we left (typically!). My husband made excellent use of the golf clubs which are in the villa and managed to play 4 rounds of golf on the Balaia course. Hiring clubs would have cost him a small fortune so we are very thankful that Nette allowed us to use the set she has in the villa. We hired a car to get around - the centre of Olhos D’Agua was a bit further than we had anticipated so was so much easier to drive and there is parking immediately outside the villa. All in all, we had a fantastic week and will definitely return in the future!

Fantastic family holiday

We stayed for a week at the property as a family of 6 and we had the most wonderful time. The property was clean and fully stocked with all you could need - plenty of towels, books, games, tennis racquets, even a selection of hats! The rooms were a good size and the beds were so comfy. The outdoor space was fantastic. Sitting out in the back door, just a few steps from the pool and pool bar, we couldn’t have asked for a better location. The area around the golf village was also lovely. Just a short walk to the beach and restaurants and easy enough to get taxis to and from Albufeira. Nette the host was easy to contact with any queries and always responded promptly. All in all, a fantastic stay from start to finish! Thank you!

A Great Family Holiday.

Stayed at this lovely villa at the end of June. Two adults and two teens. From the outset, Nette was polite and prompt with all correspondence. The villa felt more like a home than a holiday rental. The kitchen had everything you could wish for including things like foil, cling film, spices and a cracking four slice toaster. What I also liked was that beer and crisps (unopened) that were left by the previous renters were still there for us. Just what I needed after a flight and drive! The bedrooms were lovely. Beds were soooo soft. My only observation and is in no way a moan, was that the en suite has the two single beds in rather than the double bed. Been a while since I slept in a single bed. The wife was happy not to have to put up with my tossing and turning!! The a/c was lovely to have in the rooms as well. Showers were lovely with good pressure. An abundance of towels for sun bathing, beach and for showering was also appreciated. We spent our time on the back patio area with our own cushioned sun loungers. With us not having young kids to keep an eye on whilst swimming this worked perfectly for us. I counted, 27 steps from the edge of the grass to the pool. Lovely!! The sun is on the rear lawn from 0800-1800, even that's enough for my sun worshipping wife! Loungers around the pool were available most of the days whilst we were there. UK TV stations available if you fancy a catch up of your soaps before you go out or some late night viewing when you come back from eating. We went to a few beaches whilst we were there. Falesia was our favourite. Breathtaking views and some great waves to muck around into just a five min drive away. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance or a short trip to Albufeira. The ONLY feedback I would give to Nette that I feel could improve the stay is I'd like to see a couple of golf clubs in the villa. There is a driving range within the complex and, although you can get a bucket of balls for €2 they want to charge you €10 per club to hire. I feel bad suggesting it as the villa has pretty much everything else there!! All in all we all had a fabulous time, villa was perfect in every way and I would not hesittate to stay there again, in fact we're looking at it for next year already. Prepare for a booking Nette!!

Traditional villa in a perfect location

Overall experience was fantastic and we will definitely be returning. This was our first family holiday with two young children, the villa and location were perfect. The pool is only meters away from the villa and a lovely beach is within 15 mins walk with a buggy. The villa is very spacious, has everything you need from towels, beach toys and books. The owner provided us with a taxi number, who we used and were excellent. Overall a fantastic family holiday.

Fabulous Villa, excellent location

This was our fourth stay at Balaia and this villa is the main reason we keep coming back. With the pool a few steps away from the rear terrace, the ability to drift between the pool and the villa is very convenient - no long treks for drinks/nibbles/towels/toilets or Sangria. The resort itself is well maintained and there are plenty of other pools to seek out and the children always enjoy the adventure of finding all the pools within the resort. A short (15-20 mins) walk takes you to the nearby beach and although this can be crowded at times, nothing beats sundowners by the sea. There are many other attractions a little further afield, but you can consult Trip Advisor for that! The villa is very well appointed, clean and well maintained with the added benefit of air-con in the bedrooms. The WiFi was extremely useful for when we had run out of energy for being good parents and caved into to various iPAD and tablet requests. All the other facilities work well and having a dishwasher and washing machine reduces time spent inside! Overall this is a brilliant villa for a family holiday with all the facilities that you need to make life comfortable whilst enjoying the outdoor life.

Stunning Villa

Our first stay at Balaia Golf in the Algarve. We loved it. The villa is amazing, as discribed by the owner. Air con in all three bedrooms which was a good thing has the tempeture was in the high 30's when we were there early September. One of the six pools onsite is just a stones through away from the villa which for us was great,. We could either sit around the pool or outside the villa and still have a view of the swimming pool. My two teenage sons played golf at Balaia, they loved it. Fabulous Beach nearby with-in walking distance. We decided not to rent a car and found public transportation taxi and buses to be convenient and reasonable priced. Balaia Golf grounds and pools immaculate. Staff very friendly and helpful. All I can say is that my family and I had a great vacation and the villa lived up to expectations. Would definitely book this villa again if we were to return to Balaia Golf.
