"We had a truly wonderful week at this beautiful villa in Portugal. The house is stunning! Elegantly designed and tastefully furnished with a real sense of comfort and style. Some of our favourite parts were the well-equipped kitchen, the enormous living room with breathtaking natural light and the outdoor pool; we actually found ourselves preferring to stay in and cook rather than go out as the house is so beautiful and welcoming that no one wanted to leave. The space is calm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxing holiday. That said, there were a couple of issues that we feel are important to mention. The wooden pool deck, unfortunately, hasn’t been maintained properly and caused quite a bit of discomfort. Several of us ended up with splinters in our feet, and one day turned into a bit of a drama when my son got ten splinters—removing them was not easy and quite distressing. This area really needs some attention and oiling to make it safe for barefoot use.Despite this hiccup, the villa is truly a gem and we would love to return, especially once the pool deck has been refurbished. Thank you for a memorable stay! We are totally in love with Portugal."
