We are two families of four and stayed in the villa for one week in August of 2017. The villa is superb with amazing ocean views, contemporary furnishing, and all the modern appliances. Uta, the owner, and Phillipa, the property manager were very helpful before and throughout our stay. The surrounding area so far has resisted the mass tourism while there are still some great dining options and various activities. It is a favored by surfers, which we are not, but we still had an amazing vacation. Local beaches are great with some breathtaking scenery. Be warned, if you have never been to this part of Algarve it may get windy during the day and chilly at night, even in July and August, so if you are looking for a hot lazy summer vacation this area may not be for you.
