Notes of importance:-

Please pay special attention to the Parasols and ensure that they are not open when windy. In the case of damage during your stay, damages will be charged from your security deposit.


As every effort is made to be environmentally friendly, we kindly ask that you do not leave on air-conditioning units running in unoccupied rooms, unnecessary lighting, or waste water.

Rubbish removal is the responsibility of the guests. There are normal bins, and recycling bins by the roundabout, at the top of the road.

The gardeners generally come for about an hour on Wednesday mornings to cut the lawns etc.

SPECIAL NOTE:- Please note that we don't allow the use of P20 or any all day suntan lotion or oil as this turns everything (sofas, bed linen, towels, etc) yellow.

Fantastic
From start to finish this stay was fantastic. Howard was incredibly helpful, informative and accommodating. The Villa is just fantastic with so much space, clean and so much to do, if you don’t want to go anywhere you are still entertained for a whole day. I’d heartily recommend this stay and Howard as a host.

Villa Gourmet - an excellent choice
The Villa is in a perfect location just minutes away from the Marinha beach and other attractions alongside the beautiful coast of Algarve. The Villa is in a very good condition. Everything from furniture, interiors and equipment is of a very high quality. The owner of the Villa is just minutes away and he was very helpful if we needed any assistance. Also the housekeeper that came every weekday was so nice and helpful and she is keeping the Villa in a spotless condition. The Villa has an amazing pool house with all you can ask for, even a Pizza oven. It has so many different seating areas with views of the landscape and the beautiful garden. There are so many things to do in and around the Villa, pool table, table tennis, football, amazing heated covered pool, jacuzzi and a small golf course in the garden. And we all loved the fridge room. We had an amazing stay and we all can't wait to go back. Jens and Anna Gustafsson

lisa r.

the best villa in the Algarve !
This review comes a little late ,but we had the best holiday staying at villa gourmet . A group of 4 adults and 5 kids ,there was everything provided at this villa and more. Trampoline, hot tub,fantastic heated pool, playpark, outdoor kitchen.... the list is endless! Extremely well equipped and the maid, think her name was Maria? She was amazing and happily cleaned up after us all and was so cheery . Howard was an amazing host and was on hand for advice and any little issues that cropped up like when we had a power cut due to the weather. I'm reluctant to say much more as we want to come back again this year and don't want it to be booked up !
