Great service, great locations and they really push the boat out

We have rented from Sharon and carol for 9 years and have never been disappointed. Great service, great locations and they really push the boat out. Offering to meet our shopping for us so the property has the essentials when we arrive. any problems whilst at the property are rare, but sorted within the hour if necessary. I would thoroughly recommend them every time and we would not look elsewhere for a property team.

Thank you for a wonderful and much needed holiday

We booked a villa during the pandemic, not sure if our holiday would go ahead. The agency were able to provide assurances that should travel plans change we would be able to re book for another time which gave us some peace of mind. Sharon and Carol were very helpful throughout, finding information in advance of our holiday as to where we could obtain tests needed for our return flights. We were met at the villa and given all the information needed. As the villa was not occupied prior to our booking and we had an early flight, we were able to settle in straight away which was welcome after not much sleep!
We have used various agencies over many years of villa holidays in The Algarve but these ladies were the best and made the whole experience much easier at a very uncertain time. We will definitely book with them in the future - thank you for a wonderful and much needed holiday. The villa was perfect and fabulous location with so much to do in walking distance.

A perfect family holiday in a luxurious villa

This is our second year at Villa Viva booking with the lovely ladies at Rent Villas Algarve. It has everything our family of 7 needs in a beautifully presented villa on the luxury resort of Vale do Lobo. It sits in a lovely large plot, giving us all the privacy and space we require. The children love the large pool and having an ensuite in each bedroom. The villa is walkable to the local supermarket, beach and restaurants (our favourite being Spikes at the Golf club). The whole resort is clean, well maintained and safe. Ideal for a family holiday in a stunning, high quality villa.

Wonderful family holiday

We have recently returned home after spending a week in Villa Viva, Vale do lobo. We have been travelling to Vale do lobo for over 10 years and I have to say, this was our best trip yet. The villa was just perfect for us. From the outdoor heated pool to the barbecue area to the enclosed patio area off of the kitchen, to the spacious bedrooms,we were really impressed with the villa. We were travelling with 3 small children, an almost 2 year old, a busy 17 month old and a 12 week old baby. The enclosed patio off of the kitchen and the heated pool being big highlights for us. This villa is also perfect for someone of reduced mobility. My mum travelled with us and uses walking aids to get around and she loved the villa. I couldn't recommend it enough! We are already talking about booking it for next year! Carol and Sharon were always very efficient at contacting me through email and were very helpful

Thank you for your kind words, We are so pleased that you and your family enjoyed your stay in this property. I have to agree, the enclosed courtyard off the kitchen is perfect for little ones whilst you are preparing food etc, and having 2 of the 4 bedrooms on the ground floor is great for those less mobile guests. We would very much like to welcome you and your family back anytime! Kind regards, Sharon and Carol
FAB-U-LOUS

My family - 5 adults and 3 children under 7 - had a fabulous week's stay at Villa Viva in Vale do Lobo. Finding, and booking, the villa was greatly aided by Sharon C. ( Rent Villas Algarve) who proved to be extremely helpful and efficient in the months leading to our stay and whilst we were there. Can't thank her, and her team, enough for making everything so easy and pleasant, and for the warm welcome we received on arrival The villa itself lives up to its description and is in lovely grounds with everything we needed for our stay. The pool is a good size; our little ones' swimming skills certainly improved over the course of the week, and the adults were glad to put in a few laps to "exercise off" the calories from the delicious meals we enjoyed at the Praca restaurants. We ate out most nights but everything you could possibly need to cook, and enjoy, dinner at the villa is provided. The living areas and bedrooms are comfortable and attractively furnished; the upstairs bedrooms particularly so with a lovely balcony for quiet reading or just to enjoy a moment away from the rest of the family. The villa is in a quiet cul-de-sac, has an alarm and safes in the two upstairs bedrooms. It is only 5 minutes walk from the well-stocked and fairly-priced supermarket. It is about 15 minutes walk from the beach & restaurants, OK walking down but a bit of an incline on the way back. We were glad of it ( see earlier comment about exercise after dinner!) but if you want an easier time you can book in advance to use the Resort Bus ( 25euros per week) which follows a circular route at regular times during the day and evening. The beach itself is lovely; plenty of sunbeds and parasols available to hire and toilet facilities nearby. The restaurants offer a range of food and snacks; our favourites were La Terrazza (Marta is a star), Amore ( fantastic with the kids) and Breeze (mussels and fries Mmmmmm!). All overlook the central stage offering nightly music performances which we all enjoyed and the children were able to dance in the square, where we could easily see them from our table. To conclude, we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this lovely villa and the services of Sharon C. Vale do Lobo is a great resort for families and is very clean and safe. Can't wait to go back!
