The property is well proportioned and stands on a large plot with wonderful panaramic views across the Marina and surrounding area, which are trully spectacular. It's location, within a quite residential area, is perfect for a quite, restful holiday, but be aware, it isn't the easiest place to find! The house was clean and while it more than met my parties requirements it did show slight signs of ware and tear in some areas. The kitchen was well kitted out and we found all necessary items to be able to self cater without difficultly. The pool area, along with the pool itself was amazing with plenty of room to spred out. We particularly liked using the the outside bench table at pool level for lunch times. The hosts were very freindly and we were met on arrival, which was appreciated. Check in was straight forward, however for me, I wish the security deposit had been included within the booking process as apposed to this time being arranged on arrival. All in all a wonderful place to stay and if you end up holidaying here you've made an excellent choice.

Great villa, great location

We stayed in Villa Malu for 5 nights, wish it was longer, really nice inside and out, Id slightly more authentic than some of the modern properties you see out there, lots of spaces, lots of bathrooms, definitely recommend.

Wonderful Property and host

The house is spacious and well equipped. The numerous balconies give excellent views of the marina and beyond. The pool table and ping pong were a lovely addition and the poolside external and indoor showers (and toilet) were really handy. We would return as the house is well located and in lovely neighbourhood. The host was really helpful and friendly and the small issue we had was dealt with promptly and withourt fuss. The only reason not to give 5 stars are the pillows/beds are not massively comfortable (very hard) and there is no pool heating (which would not be an issue in the summer, but was needed in October). That said, we loved our stay there.

The villa easily accommodated 7 people and was a 15 min walk from the marina and old town. We particularly enjoyed the pool and it was great to have the pool table and table tennis.

Great stay, pictures don’t do it justice!

The villa was easy to get to and find, the outdoor area was great with a good size pool, the only improvement here would be lights above the pool table, the villa inside was spacious, clean and well equipped. Would stay here again.

Lovely villa. Good location. We arrived at midnight so it would have been nice if some water and milk had been available for a drink. Wrong no. given for villa. Stated 9 but it should have said 8. Only the fact we had read some reviews we knew name of villa. Villa next door had two lots of male youths while we were there. Quite noisy. Air conditioning in bedrooms but not in the lounge. Safe not working. No instructions how to use washing machine. All in all we had a good holiday.

Lovely place

Villa is very spacious and lovely,had a good stay,did have an issue with one of the air con systems in the bedroom but it was sorted out quickly and also the sun beds are a bit tired,could do with being replaced,just being honest. The pool is beautiful,so are the views…one thing I would say is if you struggle walking especially up hill then be prepared to get taxi’s back to the villa once you have gone down to the old town or beach as it’s quite hard work trying to get back up those hills in the heat during the day or even in the muggy evenings but overall had a nice stay.

Gorgeous villa

We had a lovely week in the fantastic villa. It was a 15 minute walk to all the bars and restaurants and the old town was fabulous. The villa itself was much bigger than we thought it would be..it had 3 large balconies so if you wanted privacy then you could have your own space. Susana was a great manager and replied to all our questions very quickly and efficiently. All the bedrooms were big and the en-suites lovely. The villa was extremely clean and we liked having a spacious sitting room to chill when we wanted to. We would love to go back.

Lovely spacious villa with spectacular views.

Villa was situated in residential area so quiet. A good walk from town but Uber save the walk back up the hill! Villa was clean and very spacious. Two families stayed and had plenty of separate space. Gorgeous views across the sea and marina

Great Location

We loved the location of the house, and Susana was very responsive to our enquiries. We would have rated the house higher, but when compared to other VRBO experiences we've had in past, namely there were virtually no basic condiments (salt, pepper, sugar, etc) which have been part of every other VRBO experience we've had, and we felt at the price level that the house furnishings were 'tired' and needed some TLC. However, we loved everything else and had a wonderful stay for our month there.

Great villa, perfect location

We visited the villa at the end of June ‘18. It is in the perfect location, 5 mins from a well stocked supermarket and 15 mins from the restaurants and bars. The villa was immaculately presented with everything you could possibly need. The view across the marina and out to the ocean is amazing. We would highly recommend this villa.

Helt fantastisk hus med fantastisk udsigt

Vi var famile afsted på 5 og nød dette fantastiske hus fuldt ud. Udsigten var fantastisk og poolen så lækker. Hvis vi skal nævne noget, som kunne være bedre, så var det madrasserne på sengene - de kunne godt have været bedre. Men bort set fra det, så var det en fantastisk uge i et dejligt hus. Beliggenheden var perfekt og selv om vi havde lejet bil, så benyttede vi os af Uber. Vi brugte grillen et par gange til at spise i huset om aftenen. Vi ville helt klart gerne komme igen og har haft en dejlig ferie i Portugal. Tak til Susana for hurtigt svar når vi havde spørgsmål.
