Great family villa with everything you need

We had an amazing family holiday at Villa Zanzibar. The house is really spacious and well-equipped, with everything we needed, from a big dining table to the pool, ping pong and foosball tables, there was always something to keep the kids entertained. The kitchen had all the essentials, and we loved eating outside near the BBQ. The area is peaceful and green, and just a short drive to Olhos de Água and Albufeira. We'd definitely recommend it for families looking for a quiet but fun base in the Algarve.

Villa Zanzibar

Although we had a good stay at the villa, it is very isolated from the nearest shops, bars restaurants etc. thank god for the Trevelers Cafe at the end of the lane. I think the kitchen could do with upgrading and the table tennis table has warped with the heat. Unfortunately we were swamped with Ants during our stay. Not sure what can be done about this! The pool was a great size and thoroughly enjoyed by all ages. We used Ubers to get us to and from olhos d agua and Albufeira which are both beautiful places. Also it would have been welcomed if some basic essential were complimentary such as water, milk, tea coffe and biscuits on arrival as we had an early flight and had to wait 4 hours before being able to check in.

Zanzibar holiday

Overall very good, just lack of communication with the representatives for the Villa. We asked several times to confirm a late check-out and nobody called us back or confirmed although promised they would. We were also told they would help us work out the washing machine but did not get back to us. The day before we all had to leave we were told ( when I made a call) that we had to leave by 10, there were 8 of us left at the villa at that point all with different flight times so it would have been useful to know what was happening. The cleaners were waiting outside at 9.50 which made it quite stressful at the end of our stay.

Short stay in the Algarve

We had a fantastic time here for a short stay with a group of friends/colleagues. The property was great and we were well taken care of on arrival. Taxis are plentiful and cheap, easy access to Albufeira, Vilamoura and other local towns. Thoroughly recommend. Great coffee shop next door too!

Perfect villa for a family holiday

In our group, we were a total of 12 people, from 2 to 70 years old. The house, with a total of 4 bathrooms, worked excellently as a holiday base for us. A short distance to a grocery store, restaurants and a small center made the stay easy.
