Villa Monte da Alfarrobeira

The owner Carlos was fantastic, he is easily contactable by phone/text and sorts any problem out quickly. The Villa and pool were amazing, we had a super holiday as the pool is a really good size. The pool is waist high at the shallow end and I was out of my depth at the deep end (I am 5'6) It was a gradual slope at the deep end, so the pool was ideal for my 5 year old at the shallow end. The pool was perfectly clean and the water was great too, as it is their own treated spring water. The villa is set in the mountains in a quiet location, so you definitely need a car to get provisions for your stay. The local Lidl was easy to get to for food and drink. There were 4 sun beds and a double bed outside for lounging around the pool and hammocks in the shade. A couple more sun loungers would be good if everyone was around the pool at the same time, but our party of 12 were in and out of the pool at different times of the day, so it wasn't a problem for us. The location of the villa is completely private and it was very tranquil being up in the mountains. The Villa and grounds are a good size and the views are super. We dined outside every evening, as it was still nice and warm and there was good outdoor lighting. Carlos and family are lovely and helpful and were there to greet us on arrival and to take keys when we departed.
