| "We had a tremendous time for our first holiday in Portugal. The villa had everything we needed and was perfect for sharing with friends. The salt water pool was fantastic, and the location superb for access to some of the best local beaches. The villa was very clean and well kept. Many evening BBQs and breakfasts were enjoyed on the patio.
What impressed us most were the beaches there near Carvoeiro. We rated Praia Marinha as probably the best that we had seen during our stay. We visited about 10 local beaches to come to that conclusion. We also investigated some of the beaches (near Lagos and Portimao) highly rated by tour guidebooks. Nothing matched the quality and features of the local beaches around Carvoeiro. The beach at Odeceixe has to get special mention, worth a trip up the west coast less than 90 minutes away.
I have an autoimmune reaction towards chlorine that prevents me from swimming in chlorinated pools, so the saltwater pool was very welcome. I have to add that with kids, the pool offers flexibility as you are not pressured to head to the beach in extreme heat.
We had a memorable vacation and one we hope to do again with friends.

| "We had a lovely stay at Avagarosa during our first visit to Portugal in May. We found the villa spacious and very well equipped with everyday items and we felt truly at home in it. For our arrival we were left a lovely welcome pack of the essentials like bread & milk which also included some luxury extras too. The villa was kept clean and fresh by the maid who visited 3 times a week, hardly knowing she was there apart from her tunefully humming as she worked. The garden area is delightful and we loved sitting out in the sun with a good selec tion of furniture to choose from. Unfortunately the condition of the pool was a slight disappointment as it was coated in green algae which the poolman still didnt sort out even after he was contacted about it. The pool water was too cold at that time of year so we didnt use it much anyway. Half of the pool is really only suitable as a childrens paddling/play area so any swimming is out of the question and is really just a plunge pool...a little disappointing as I had been looking forward to getting some daily exercise in there.
Overall we were not disappointed in this lovely villa even if the sea view description is stretching the truth just a little.
Thank you Paul and Julia for a lovely, homely base for a wonderful holiday."

I would thoroughly recommend this villa to friends."

We were very taken with the villa and the local area and echo the comments of David & Ruth Martin. We are likely to visit the villa again, next time with some friends - as the villa is certainly large enough to accommodate two more couples and each couple with a bathroom......great!"

We had a lovely time at your wonderful villa. The weather was very changeable being late October/early November but the huge terrace was fantastic for catching the afternoon sun and the lovely patio & gardens were wonderful to sit out in the mornings - both are really well positioned to make the best of the sun. The villa itself is so spacious and beautifully fitted and it was an added bonus to discover games in the lounge display cabinet that we could play with our son to keep him entertained when we wanted to relax! Loads of restaurants in what is probably the nicest area of the Algarve - we were delighted with both the villa and the location of it and will be most happy to recommend it to our friends. Many thanks again."
