Leave ReviewIt is a marvellous place, close to everything yet private.
By Martha on 10-Jan-2023Stayed 2 weeks It is a marvellous place, close to everything yet private. We had a great time during Christmas and new year. The house is everything you want and more and the outside pool is just amazing. We spend a great time and hopefully will come back.
Perfect host, helpful, very kind and gives the best restaurant tips.
By Daniela on 31-Oct-2021Stayed 1 week Perfect host, helpful, very kind and gives the best restaurant tips. The villa is also in a very nice location - not too lonely, but you are still to yourselves. The heated pool is fantastic. This will definitely not be our last stay there. Translated from German
Exceptionnel
By Jacques L on 05-Aug-2019***** 5/5 Exceptionnel La propriété est exceptionnelle. Les rapports avec le gérant très facile. Il est très disponible et répond aux attentes le plus rapidement. Séjour parfait à tout point de vue. 08/05/2019 at 4:04 PM
Family friendly
By Kerrie C on 01-Jul-2019***** 5/5 Family friendly We have just enjoyed our first Villa holiday. This villa was amazing for our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children aged 12 and 9 (who is autistic), it was literally home from home. Lovely lounge area with patio doors onto the terrace which provided shade all day, clean kitchen with new dishwasher and washing machine and all the utensils and kitchen items you would need. 3 double bedrooms all with en-suites, each room had a colour theme which was a nice touch. Pool was perfect, we opted for heating so the younger one could swim all day without going blue! Location is brilliant 15/20 minute walk to a supermarket which had all the groceries we needed. 15min walk to the strip, with restaurants, bars and ice cream parlours. We also booked our transfers through Carlos which was so easy, Hugo and his team were very friendly and you could WhatsApp them if you wanted to use them as a taxi during your stay. A trip to the old town was only €7 in a taxi. Carlos the villa owner visited whilst we were there and he was very friendly and accommodating. The entire process was so easy.I had a telephone conversation before booking to ensure the villa was fully secure and suitable for the 9 year old, it was there was no way of escaping! Looking forward to staying again in the near future. 07/01/2019 at 4:34 PM
Home in the Sun!!
By Ray O on 14-Apr-2018**** 4/5 Home in the Sun!! Totally enjoyed our stay at Villa Estrelicia. It was fabulous from start to finish The location was perfect for us, it was far enough away from the hustle and bustle but not not too far if you wanted to have a good night out. The villa was very clean and spacious. The welcome pack was a nice gesture, especially if you arrive late at night. The pool area was very clean and tidy, surrounded by garden furniture and sunbeds. The villa is in a quite location and I would recommend the use or hire of a car. Carlos was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. We totally enjoyed our stay at the villa and would highly recommend it. 04/14/2018 at 9:21 AM
Great villa and location
By Birgitte K on 05-Apr-2017***** 5/5 Great villa and location We spent the month of march at the villa with our two boys and had the best time. The villa was great and just as described, super pool and a wonderful view. Amazing beaches near by. Carlos was very helpful and sweet as usual. We stayed at one of his other villas, villa Borboleta 8 years ago and Carlos's sense of service, helpfulness and of course the beautiful villas was the main reason we returned. We can highly recommend a stay at the villa. 04/05/2017 at 4:17 PM
