Villa med Fantastisk Havsutsikt och 5 Minuters Promenad Från Stränderna

Villa Marine is a beautiful property. The pictures on the website do not actually do it justice and we were shocked by the size, cleanliness and style of the property. The bedrooms were beautiful and everyone had their own bathroom or shower room. We had some minor issues, for example, water drainage in some of the showers but any problems were dealt with immediately with help arriving usually within the hour!! I could go on and on but to sum up I would stay again in this lovely villa. 5 stars. Thank you for our stay.

Pros: Great location near beautiful beach and 10 min from Albufeira; great views of the sea, palms and adjacent whitewashed villas, particularly from fabulous upstairs deck; house and grounds beautifully designed and furnished with one exception (see below); kitchen very well equipped. Within few minutes' walk of tennis courts at Ponta Grande Resort. Cons: House is NOT winterized, no central heating and electrical room heaters are woefully inadequate; hot water is not reliable and rarely afforded hot showers; house sleeps 12 only counting downstairs bedrooms which are dungeon-like and accessed only from the exterior such that when the house is locked, downstairs occupants cannot gain entry; electrical load limit is inadequate (can not cook and heat the home at the same time) with frequent engagement of master circuit breaker; internet is unacceptably slow and unreliable. The security gate failed for most of the week but was repaired toward the end of our week's stay.

Villa is very well located with unique view to the Ocean. The interiors are perfectly maintained and with good quality. The two masterpieces are the terrace at first floor and the swimming pool in the garden. 3 families are well accomodated.
