If you want modern refinement, close to all the amenities don't book here, however if you are after a truly quiet and relaxing stay then you won't go too far wrong booking this villa, and when I state quiet, hardly a sound at night, ideal for a great nights sleep.It's dated but clean and closer to the true experience of a Portuguese home, however it looks like it's being updated as the bathroom was really modern. The villa has everything you need for a week or more stay with the benefit of a super large 'Olympic?' pool.We dined in the villa a few nights and everything is available to cook for a family of 4, the barbecue heats up really quickly (super hot too). The nearest restaurant is a good 10 minutes walk (and really good (booking essential)) for any others you will need a car, or alternatively Uber is quick and reliable here. By car Albufeira is 30 minutes away, Silves a similar distance and Benagil caves around 10 - 15 minutes. It seems the family next door look after the villa and we were lucky to have fresh plums picked for us one morning. They also stayed up quite late to greet us as we arrived way past 11:30pm. The carton of milk was very welcome.The television is limited on channels but if you have Netflix, Prime etc then you can use your account to log on and view movies or series. Our visit was mid June and the sun stays over the pool to way past 8pm. All in all a really enjoyable stay and we'd certainty consider booking again if we return to the area.
