Leave ReviewAmazing villa !
By Dan on 25-Jun-2025We had an amazing 10 days stay at the villa, hosted by Steve and Janie. The villa was perfect for our family and 2 young kids who absolutely loved the two pools, one little kids one where they could play games and then bigger one to swim around . There were lots of local restaurants that we could easily jump in short uber to with some lovely food. Villa was 5-10mins drive to some incredible beaches where we had lots of fun. Thanks to Steve and janie for being great hosts . Dan
What a wonderful week we had at the Villa, we were a party of 7 people. This was our 2nd stay at the Villa.
By McGinnes Family on 01-Jun-2025This was the 2nd time we have had the pleasure of staying at the Villa and meeting the Owners. The Owners are fantastic hosts and all of our needs were met. What a wonderful week we had, there was 7 of us staying at the Villa and we wanted for nothing, so much space and the Villa is of very high quality. We do hope that we will get the opportunity to have future holidays here - we cannot recommend the Villa enough and strongly recommend this to other holiday goers - Superb from start to finish!!!!
A wonderful stay in an Amazing villa
By David Napier on 10-Aug-2024Our party of 11 had a wonderful stay in the villa. Great facilities and really friendly and helpful hosts - Steve and Jane, made for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The villa was well equipped to deal with the heat of the summer, with plenty to occupy 5 children and 6 adults. Although the property is located in a quiet area, it is only a short drive from the coast and other attractions, and within walking distance of restaurants. Would definitely recommend.
Unforgettable Stay in Villa Camaleao
By Lukas Huber on 03-Aug-2024Our week-long stay in this holiday villa was nothing short of spectacular. As a group of 12 friends, we found the villa to be spacious and accommodating, providing more than enough room for all of us. The villa was exactly like in the photos and very clean - every other day we received new towels. The landlords were incredibly kind and accommodating, adding to the overall enjoyment of our stay. The villa was well-equipped with all the amenities. Its location was ideal for us - peaceful. All in all, it was a perfect vacation and I wholeheartedly recommend this villa for any large group looking for a memorable getaway. Thank you Steve and Janie
An Amazing week in sunny Portugal
By Paula on 27-Jul-2024We have just had the most amazing week. The villa far surpassed all expectations. As a party of 11, including 1 toddler and 3 children, we needed the space and Steve and Janie’s villa had plenty. The pool was a great size and the children loved the waterfall and the plunge pool. Steve and Janie were the best hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back.
Great for large family with everything you need
