This is a stunning property. The outside space is so relaxing and lovely to look at but also well laid out and practical. The electric canopy that comes out over the outside dining table is fantastic. We didn't eat indoors even once. The pool is a really good size and good wide steps to get into. My Dad who is 78 was able to get in and out comfortably. The inside of the house has everything you need and is air conditioned which is a God send, and the little extra touches like the coffee machine, plenty of ice trays and all oils and herbs and those bits you don't really want to buy just for a week, help make this more than a holiday let. It's like a home from home and obviously well loved and used by the family that own it. The location is really good as only 3/4 minutes by car into Loule itself or you can walk down (although walking back up the hill in the heat is a challenge), Villamoura is worth a visit at only 15 mins away and a maybe 25/30 mins to Albufeira for the more 'seaside, football, drinking, vibrant' experience. It really is the best of both worlds. The local supermarket the 'Continente' was amazing, the deli counter, seafood and bread is like nothing we have here and we could stock up quickly on everything including a good supply of vegan products. Regards location it is up a hill going into the countryside so nice and quiet but so close to all amenities and a main road that access to everywhere is easy. I would definitely book this property again, it really was a cracker!
