This was our 10th year visiting Vale do Lobo and our second time in this spacious villa. Lots of space indoors and outdoor. Great layout, lovely garden, BBQ and pool. Big TV with access to lots of channels and excellent wifi kept the kids amused when we needed some quieter time. The location is beautiful about 20 min walk down to restaurants and a stunning beach. Bruno was extremely helpful and always replied to my emails and SMS quickly. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone!
