This was a perfect setting. The villa and annex were excellent. We were much nearer the beach and restaurant facilities than we expected, but spent most of our time around the pleasant pool and lawn area. Definitely recommended! ##### Robin W.

Our family of 10 recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning villa in Galé, and the experience exceeded our expectations in many ways. Situated right in front of the beach, the location was nothing short of spectacular. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying panoramic sea views was a daily treat that made our Algarve exploration truly memorable! Their warmth and professionalism truly enhanced our overall experience and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. Everything was perfect. ##### Steve This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isabel Mar 8, 2024 #### Perfect location and incredible villa.

The experience fell significantly short of our expectations on many fronts, leaving us feeling thoroughly let down. Upon arrival, it was immediately apparent that the entire villa was very dated. ##### Bob B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ute B. Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Die Lage war sehr gut, strandnah und Blick auf das Meer von der Terrasse aus. Dachterrasse mit sehr schönem Blick. Schöne Einrichtung und bequeme Betten. Einzig, daß Gläser nicht genügend da waren. Nur ein paar Weingläser für so eine große Villa ist zu wenig. Der Geschirrspüler im Haupthaus war defekt und wurde trotz Reklamation nicht repariert. Wir mussten alles in das Nebenhaus schleppen und die Maschine hat nicht wirklich sauber gespült. Da könnte man mal was neues funktionierendes anschaffen.Aber allgemein war es eine wunderschöne Location und wir haben diese Woche sehr genossen. ##### Ute B.
