Após reclamação, foi enviada equipa de limpeza, ainda assim fica uma grande desilução. Aspectos positivos: moradia espaçosa com boas divisões. cozinha bem equipa com dois frigorificos - um deles para bebidas. Local rural, bem sossegado e silencioso, mas muito ventoso. ##### Olga B.

Sep 12, 2017 #### Uma casa extraordinaria Casa muito bonita com bastantes comodidades. O facto de estar um pouco isolada foi para mim importante. Boas áreas e uma vista bonita. Apesar de uma ou outra avaria, a responsável, que não estava presente, resolveu sempre tudo com grande diligencia. Recomendo vivamente. Há alguns anos que faço este tipo de férias no Algarve e esta foi, claramente, a melhor casa onde já estive. ##### João Paulo C.

Aug 30, 2017 #### Wonderful villa Stayed here for 2 weeks in July, the villa is amazing. Kids loved the pool which was quite warm despite it not being heated. The villa is massive and has everything you could want to make a really special holiday. There are some lovely beaches nearby and we ate out in Tavira plenty of times, such a pretty little town. Sam was first class in her communication and could not have been more help. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place and hope to go back in the future. ##### Abbie H.

It had everything we needed for a fantastic relaxing holiday. The villa was fantastic. Very spacious which meant we all had our own space. The pool was great and was well used. The bbq was well used and allowed us to eat alfresco and make use of the great outdoor space. We had a brilliant holiday and would highly recommend the villa to anyone - as long as you dont mind having to drive as a car is essential. We loved it. ##### Karen T.

Jul 12, 2017 #### A Perfect Holiday at Villa Flora Antonio We have just arrived home after an amazing holiday in Villa Flora Antonio, Vila Nova de Cacela. Eastern Algarve. The villa is located high on a hill set way back from the road with far reaching views over the stunning countryside. It is so peaceful! This spacious luxurious villa is both light and beautifully decorated. There was more than enough space for the eight of us. We love to BBQ and found that there was everything we could possibly need to serve up a magnificent feast. It has a full height drinks fridge, fridge and 1/2 size freezer, a large oven and 5 ring gas hob. There are TV's everywhere and music stations. The beautiful large en-suite bedrooms are air-conditioned and have enough wardrobe space for a six month holiday! Outside is a beautiful spacious entertaining area with a sun-terrace that wraps around the large swimming pool, a huge pagoda with a large outside lounge area for those who want to escape the sun or sit outside into the wee hours. Sun-beds for all and a further outdoor dining area and large brick built BBQ. We had so much fun playing in the pool with the water guns and lazing around! Rua Jose Colaco Fernandes is a traditional rustic Portuguese restaurant which is approximately a 5 minute walk away. We ate delicious food there a few times and got to know the friendly staff. They were so accommodating and would cook off menu for the fussiest of eaters and even allowed us to use them like a shop when we ran out of some food supplies. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this beautiful villa to anyone wanting a fabulous retreat to unwind. There is plenty to do further afield: beautiful beaches, and an abundance of restaurants a short drive away plus a couple of golf courses including the prestigious Monte Rei Golf Course which is a few minutes' away. We will be back! ##### Carlamaria J. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Ray D. Sep 20, 2016 #### Very well equipped, spacious rooms, lovely pool. We were delighted with the villa which suited us, a group of six adults wanting to relax for a few days in a good quality villa in a quiet location. Everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable was provided and the owner Sam could not have been more helpful. Villa Flora Antonio is excellent value for money suitable as an adults get away or for a family. ##### Ray D. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette S. Sep 4, 2016 #### Wonderful, spacious Villa We enjoyed a wonderful 2 weeks at Villa Flora Antonio. The villa is amazingly well equipped and had everything we could possibly need and more. All of the bedrooms are spacious and the living areas too, which was a bonus as there were 8 of us!! The new addition of the pergola and outside furniture were perfect and the pool was loved by everyone, especially our children! The location was great and Sam was very helpful both before, during and after our stay. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this villa to anyone who wants a relaxing time in peaceful surroundings. ##### Annette S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Becky S. Aug 21, 2016 #### The Beautiful, stunning Villa Flora Antonio We are a family of five with three teenaged children so Villa Antonio was the perfect destination especially as the children had their own rooms. The Villa is set in a beautiful peaceful location, within a 5 minute walk to the nearest bar/restaurant and a short drive to the gorgeous, unspoilt Eastern Algarve beaches and Spain. The Villa is finished to an incredibly high standard throughout both inside and out and has the most amazing swimming pool! The Villa and garden are really clean and well maintained and is a credit to the local cleaning staff and gardener. Sam, the owner, does everything that she can to ensure that your stay is as comfortable as possible and is incredibly lucky to own such a beautiful Villa. We will no doubt be returning again in the very near future! ##### Becky S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Sullivan Jul 19, 2016 #### Fantastic Villa stay Recently enjoyed a stay for our extended family at the villa, attending a wedding at the nearby Monte Rei Golf resort. The villa was exceptionally well furnished with all that you could want. Outside, the garden furniture was very comfortable and the newly added pergola given welcome shade. The pool and gardens were well kept and we used the charcoal bar b q several times. The villa is in a very quiet location with lovely views across the valley. However, the downside of this is that a car is essential as there is very little within walking distance. It is a 10 minute drive to the N125 and about the same to Vila Nova which had all we needed. Sam was extremely helpful before and during our stay and we would highly recommend this property. ##### Andrea Sullivan This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise F. Sep 4, 2014 #### Wonderful holiday I stayed in this villa for four weeks this summer and if I'm honest I didn't want to leave! I was there with my three sons ( 14, 11 and 6 ) and between work commitments my husband joined us too. The villa is very tastefully furnished and with everything you could think of at hand it really is a home from home. It is only a short drive to the nearest town and we found a couple of really inexpensive supermarkets so we ate at the villa most evenings and completely chilled for the entire month. We went to Aqualand water park twice which was great fun and my oldest son went diving at a nearby diving school so the kids were entertained. Having wifi at the villa was a huge plus for the teenager in the house ( and handy for communicating for me too ) and the large pool meant I could read my books in peace. Heaven. Would highly recommend this villa if you like peace and quiet but with the option of doing the usual holiday trips to town/the beach if you prefer. Sam the owner was absolutely wonderful. Nothing was a bother and anything that needed sorting was done promptly and without fuss. Super service. She also helped me source a fantastic local car hire which was extremely inexpensive and easy to locate at the airport. Great holiday. ##### Denise F. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert J., Somerset Mar 5, 2014 #### \*\* OUR 'DREAM' VILLA \*\* My husband and I would not hesitate in recommending this villa as a perfect holiday destination. If you want peace and quiet in well kept beautiful surroundings then look no further. The villa is fitted out to a very high standard and is clean and well maintained. It provides everything you might need, from a well equipped kitchen/laundry room, spacious living area with comfortable furniture, lovely bedrooms with big comfortable beds. Although this is a luxury villa it is very much home from home. The outside area is very relaxing with plenty of patio space around the good sized private pool and well kept gardens. A car is necessary to enable you to explore the area, should you want to. There are lovely beaches about 20 minutes away at Manta Rota or Monte Gordo, plus many others. Monte Gordo also has a casino is you fancy a flutter! There are a few good supermarkets also about 20 minutes at Pingo Doce or Lidl in Villa Real san Antonio. Tavira has a very nice shopping centre. There are plenty of restaurants around the area, whether you want a light midday snack on the beach or evening meal. Sam (the owner) is always very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. She has always been most helpful should we need anything and nothing is too much trouble. My husband is able to work whilst on holiday as the Villa has broadband available . . . . unfortunately on the occasions he works I HAVE to sit around the pool with a good book and maybe a glass of wine!! The drive from the airport is approximately 40 minutes and very straight forward. The motorway is very quiet and the toll is easy now that you no longer have to pay at a post office as most hire companies have their cars fitted with a device to automatically take payment, this is relatively inexpensive. We love returning to this part of the Algarve, in particular Sam's Villa. ##### Robert J. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Hotel.h4071.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagos Avenida Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Lagos-Avenida-Hotel.h19333855.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Salema Beach Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Vila-Do-Bispo-Hotels-Salema-Beach-Village.h15175162.Hotel-Information) > > [Velamar Boutique Hotel - Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Velamar-Boutique-Hotel.h2928512.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Falésia](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Falesia.h1787641.Hotel-Information) > > [VidaMar Resort Hotel Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-VidaMar-Resort-Hotel-Algarve.h5670748.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Santo Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Monte-Santo-Resort.h2135874.Hotel-Information) > > [São Rafael Holidays](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Sao-Rafael-Villas.h8516728.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Lagos.h2543952.Hotel-Information) > > [Marina Club Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Marina-Club-Suite-Hotel.h1489839.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Blue Ocean](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Blue-Ocean.h14861176.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Algarve Hotel - Beach & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Jupiter-Algarve-Hotel.h1133428.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta Pedra dos Bicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Quinta-Pedra-Dos-Bicos.h1200216.Hotel-Information) > > [The Navigator - Solaqua](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Solaqua.h4461872.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Marina Portimao Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Portimao.h976931.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Apartamento Brisa Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Hotel-Apartamento-Brisa-Sol.h2335413.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Alvor-Algarve-Resort.h33811605.Hotel-Information) > > [Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sagres-Hotels-Martinhal-Sagres-Beach-Family-Resort.h3091253.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Pedro Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Dom-Pedro-Lagos.h1382394.Hotel-Information) > > [EPIC SANA Algarve Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-EPIC-SANA-Algarve-Hotel.h5995034.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Clube Praia da Oura](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Muthu-Clube-Praia-Da-Oura.h1182280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Algarve Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Hotel-Algarve-Casino.h6468.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Atlântico Algarve by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Kimpton-Atlantico-Algarve.h3036868.Hotel-Information) > > [W Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-W-Algarve.h73757170.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Cerro Alagoa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Cerro-Alagoa-Hotel.h891218.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Tivoli-Lagos.h876691.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Petra](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Vila-Petra.h1100476.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Oriental Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-AP-Oriental-Beach.h912470.Hotel-Information) > > [Cascade Wellness Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Cascade-Wellness-Resort.h4018224.Hotel-Information)
