Very helpful and accommodating hosts. Allowed an early check in without issue.

Very spacious inside and lots of outdoor space as well. We could walk to everything in the marina and the beach. Nearby beach was fabulous and lots of great restaurants in walking distance.

Nice house and I do recommend.
It's a nice house, location, facilities and the availability/sympathy of Elisabeth who was in charge to take care of the house. And overall I liked the stay
I think the house (balconies, terraces) could have been cleaner. The garden could also be taken care better. The bed linen and towels were all impeccable. Unfortunately, one of the air conditioning one of the in rooms wasn't working, but the host did his best to see if it could be fixed , but it wasn't possible.

Nice villa near the marina. Finding the gate to check in was a bit tricky but as for the villa and agent it was very good.

 

Lawrence Blake   Jul 2024
Incredible value for money and the host has thought about everything you might need for your stay. The complex is quiet..
The property is in a fantastic location and the host has thought about everything you might need for your stay.
Keys: We were only given one set of keys which is not enough for a group of 6 who may want to come and go separately. Equally the key was missing for the roof terrace which means we couldn't use it. Complex: The complex is run down. But the perfect location. The villa is quite difficult to find. There's not much the host can do about this - so just manage your expectations.
David Hamilton   Jul 2024
Very clean and tidy space. About a 10minute walk to the Marina. The surrounding complex was run down and needs some attention but the apartment itself was lovely. The host allowed us to have early check in and late check out. Thank you Elisabete!

Had a lovely stay in Villa Cove, which was clean, spacious, well equipped and beautifully decorated. Just a 10 minute walk to the gorgeous sandy beach (head to Buzios beach bar for refreshments) and only €10 per sunbed for the whole day. 5 minutes walk to Noa for brunch is a must and the delights if the marina are only a short stroll from there. As others have said, the complex is a little tired and there was an occasional drains smell in the house but very quiet and there's plenty of outdoor space to enjoy.

Great location for Vilamoura and Quarteira

The villa was really nice and clean. On ground floor there's a living room, small kitchen and a big dining table and one bathroom. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The top floor has an additional terrace but we never really used it. The location was great - 7 mins walk to Vilamoura marina and 20 mins walk to Quarteira. We found that Quarteira beach was actually nicer with free umbrellas and added bonus of cheap restaurants and coffee shops on the way to the beach. (Side note: if need cheap lunch, Bambi snack bar in Quarteira is the one :)) There is parking on site if you have a car but everything local is within walking distance. We drove to Albufeira which was like 40 mins drive, without using motorway. The host, Elisabete, was really lovely and responsive to texts. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Super!!

Nous avons loué une maison à Vilamoura en Algarve au mois d'avril et tout s'est passé à Merveille. La maison était parfaite, très propre à l'arrivée, et nous avons été très bien accueillis. Je n'hésiterai pas à refaire appel à Rental Retreats pour un futur voyage!!!

 

Super!!

We rented a house in Vilamoura in the Algarve in April and everything went wonderfully. The house was perfect, very clean upon arrival, and we were very well received. I would not hesitate to use Rental Retreats again for a future trip!!!

Un bel emplacement, mais les photos n'étaient pas récentes pour la façade de l'immeuble et le terrain laissait à désirer (coupe de l'herbe). À l'intérieur, un bon sofa en L, une belle petite cuisine avec certaines commodités. Des cadeaux de bienvenus. Des bon matelas et des grandes chambres. Nous avions 3 belles salles de bains complètes.

 

A beautiful location, but the photos were not recent for the facade of the building and the grounds left something to be desired (cup of the grass). Inside, a good L-shaped sofa, a beautiful little kitchen with some amenities. Gifts welcome. Good mattresses and large bedrooms. We had 3 beautiful complete bathrooms.

 

Sylviane Martin   Oct 2023
Very comfortable and spacious villa. Located very close to Marina and beach, we had a great stay!

Villa as described. Good location for the marina and very clean and well equipped.

 

Clive Gamp   Sep 2023

We had a great stay in this spacious home. It was well located with shops, bars, beaches and restaurants all within walking distance. The host was very responsive and provided great instructions for our stay. The home was as advertised and nice and clean. We would highly recommend!

Amy Everett   Sep 2023
Great and peaceful hideaway in a busy area where you can walk everywhere, including the beach.

 

Duarte Vaz   Aug 2023
Great stay at the Villa. The location is perfect for getting to the centre of the marina and the beach.

 

Andrew Richards   Aug 2023
Beautiful house close to the beach and Vilamoura Marina.
Carlotta Rall   Jun 2023
Great stay, very clean and well supplied. Close to amenities and marina/beach. Host was extremely helpful and was available to contact at any time.

 

Lydia Yau   Jun 2023

Clean, spacious and well-equipped Villa in a great location with easy access to all amenities. Elisabete was a very welcoming and friendly host and made us feel at home. Would recommend to stay here!

Niall Ó Maoláin   Jun 2023

Last week Wednesday to Saturday enjoyed the accommodation which was very tidy, spacious and sparkling clean with a total of 6 girlfriends. The property has 3 bathrooms which is ideal with so many women ;-) The complex is outdated and in our opinion not much maintenance is done (the paths to the homes stand out, which may lead to annoying falls). When we arrived we were hesitant for a while if the house itself would also be a bit dilapidated but nothing was less true. We were pleasantly surprised by the condition of the house, the good condition of the furniture and the fine beds. The extremely friendly host, Elisabete, also took all the time to explain. The only weird thing was that the neighbor started to drill Wednesday night and Thursday night around 10: 30 pm. This always took half an hour, but we found the time very special. Nevertheless, had a lovely time and I would definitely recommend the accommodation.

Comfortable and quiet in May, spacious house.

Ich werde die Villa Cove weiterempfehlen.

Ich war schlecht vorbereitet für die Reise. Mir wurde aber vor Ort problemlos geholfen, den richtigen Kontakt vor Ort zu kontaktieren. Der persönlich Kontakt vor Ort war äusserst freundlich und hilfsbereit, vorab Wüsche werde gerne erfüllt.

 

I recommend Villa Cove.

I was poorly prepared for the trip. However, I was helped on site without any problems to get in touch with the right person on site. The personal contact on site was extremely friendly and helpful, and any requests made in advance were happily fulfilled.

Lovely Host, thank you.
Benjamin West   Apr 2023
Spacious villa with gardens, multiple balconies and 3 bathrooms! Lovely place in the middle of the centre with bars and restaurants 2 minute walk from the front door. You wouldn't think you were in the centre though as it's so tranquil with beautiful trees and birds and it's much nicer than all the high rise apartment blocks in the area. Would definitely recommend.

 

Danielle Burke   Jan 2023
Great place and location
Traveled for wedding with friends. Easy check in, fantastic location and great property. Well recommended.
Jamie Mcdonald   Oct 2022
Four of us stayed here and had an amazing stay. The house is beautiful, well stocked and in a great location including plenty of bonus hedgehogs running around at night. The beds were a little firm for my liking but in such a quiet and peaceful location that you will get a great night sleep either way. The house was very comfortable and I would definitely recommend staying here. I dropped a star for the following small reasons: To check out we were asked to empty the bins and walk around to find a public bin to discard. This would be no problem if there wasn't already a substantial cleaning fee included. There was no hammock as seen in the photos. We were there for a wedding and the house had a lack of mirrors (even though this was pointed by several previous guests in the recommendation book on site).

Great Villa in perfect location

Just returned from a wonderful trip to Villa Cove in Vilamoura. Elisabete met us on arrival and talked through everything in the Villa, it was clean, spacious, secure and was in a great location to the Marina, beach and restaurants. I would definitely recommend staying here and Elisabete couldn't be more helpful throughout our stay. We will definitely be returning.

Hankers2206   Jun 2022
Very nice villa in an excellant location. The villa had a nice living and dining area with a outside place to eat which was nice in the hot weather. The villa was clean and checkin/out was very easy and smooth. The villa has 3 bathrooms which was very helpful as the family could get ready at similar times. The location was fantastic, 10 mins walk to the loacal beach, 10 mins walk to the Marina, crazy golf and groceries, 10 mins drive to the waterpark and to the beach at the side of the marina. I would definitely stay again!

 

Siama Fayyaz   Jun 2022
Highly recommended. perfect for families. short walk to many amenities including the beach and marina. we'd gladly stay again.

 

Noel Davison   Jun 2022
Lovely place, great condition and clean. ideally placed. Only slight downside, and its being picky, the grounds didn't look very well kept. Recommended if you want a nice place and intend to go out and about.
Trevor Longman   May 2022

Maison très propre et agencé avec goût. De plus, la localisation est parfaite: pas très loin de la Marina. Nous avons passé un super séjour. Bien accueilli par l'hôte. Je vous recommande cette location a 100%.

 

Very clean and tastefully furnished house. In addition, the location is perfect: not far from the Marina. We had a great stay. Well received by the host. I recommend this rental 100%. 

Alicia Depeyre   May 2022
I would like to start off by saying we had a lovely stay at Villa Cove It's location is great, in walking distance of all the Vilamoura attractions, restaurants and activities. Entrance | Parking 3/5 Access to the villa is via a secure gated parking lot. In advance of arrival we were in contact to arrange opening of the gate. A remote is provided to open/close the gate when you are leaving/arriving. There are also pedestrian gates which are open/closed via a secure keypad (code). Gravel parking lot. Parking is a challenge, when the facility is busy, there is limited parking. There are other parking lots. Parking lot is a short walk from the villa, which means you need to transport luggage to and from car/villa. Curb Appeal 4/5 Based on the parking lot and the units you pass on the way to Villa Cove, you will first wonder if you made a mistake booking this villa. The grounds are run down, the villas in this compound are not well maintained. There is an abandoned discotheque on the facility, basketball and tennis courts are unusable - abandonned. As you walk up to the villa you are reassured as it is the most well-maintained villa in the complex. The outside has been power washed. Looks like it has received a fresh coat of paint, the outdoor terrasses are clean, door and shutters are painted. Reception 5/5 E. Lopes greeted us upon our arrival, she explained the parking situation, accomplanied us to the villa, gave us a tour of the villa and highlighted what we need to know (alarm, appliances, other). She was extremely friendly and helpful. All interactions with E. Lopes are done through WhatsApp if required during your stay. Villa 4,5/5 No surprises, the villa is as marketed, 3 bedrooms (1 double bed, 4 single beds), 3 bathrooms (3 showers, 3 toilettes). The villa is well decorated and very clean (the most important). There are 6 terraces, 2 on the ground floor, 1 off each bedroom and a cool roof top patio. The kitchen is well equipped, includes a dishwasher, stove top, oven and full-sized fridge. Plenty of plates, cutlery and cooking pots and pans. We booked the villa for 10 days, additional dish towels would have been a nice touch. Bathrooms were clean and are quite spacious. There are two standup showers and one bath/shower. Each bathroom has a hand soap dispenser (nice touch). Like the kitchen comment, as we booked the villa for 10 days it would have been nice to have additional bath towels. 1 large and 1 small were provided per guest, as we were only 4 people, we only got 4 towels. Bedrooms were also spacious and there is plenty of closet space where you can empty your suitcase and get settled in. Similar to the bathroom comment an additional set of bedding would have been great. Villa includes a washer and dryer, which is a nice touch. There is a drying rack also included. There is also a charcoal bbq available for cooking. We purchased charcoal and starter at the grocery store, bbq utensils also provided. The only negative comment regarding the villa would be the interior temperature. The villa is quite damp and cold. Space heaters are provided but they just don't cut it. Use of the fireplace would have been nice to take the damp cold edge off (wood, paper, matches). We rented in April where the nighttime temperatures were a little colder. Bed and Pillow Quality 4/5 Mattresses and pillows are decent. Bed linen white and clean. Additional bedding could be provided during the spring months as it can get quite cold in the bedrooms at night. Beds are standard European, low to the ground and quite small. Mattresses although not very thick but were quite comfortable. Facilities and Grounds 3/5 As previously mentioned, the grounds could use some work, but this is likely out of the control of the villa owners as it is managed by a board. Basketball and Tennis Courts are pretty much unusable. Grass was cut, walkways poorly maintained. Parking lot gravel, no parking lines so it is a bit of a free for all. Although there are secure pin code pedestrian gates, they are rarely closed properly. But not really an issue, we felt very safe and secure at this location, left valuables in the villa while we were not there and didn't have any issues. Internet 3/5 Internet for the most part was good, however at night it gets a little hit or miss and there was lots of buffering going on. Would we stay at this villa again in the future = yes Would we recommend staying at this villa = yes

Eloise Mcgarrick   Apr 2022
Great location- easy walk to beach and local bars/restaurants. Lovely house, spotlessly clean and really good communication/check-in with Elisabete. If we came back to Vilamoura we would stay here again!

 

Adam Bagnall   Apr 2022
The villa is in beautiful condition, it is very clean and in the best location for McDonalds (3 mins walk), great news for the kids! At only a 5 mins walk to the marina, and being within a 20 mins drive of everything and everywhere we wanted to go (including the airport) it was perfect for what we needed. We loved it, and would return.

 

Sarah Campling   Feb 2022
Perfect house for our family and superb location. Would definitely return!

 

Gemma Fisk   Feb 2022
We had such a lovely stay in Vilamoura. Elizabete was such an AMAZING host and helped us with all our needs and questions. The house was beautifully decorated and made us feel at home. It was chilly at night but the heating systems in each room made it very toasty and comfortable! I will definitely be staying here again! Thank you

 

Alexandra Tenhove   Dec 2021
Excellent communication and Elisabete couldn't have been more helpful with regards to checking in and and checking out :) The common grounds where the villa is situated is a bit run down but the location is really central. We visited in November and the house was a bit cold as there is no heating or AC downstairs. Overall a really nice stay and would stay here again in summer months.
Ali Molloy   Dec 2021
A beautiful apartment with lots of room and some lovely welcoming touches from the host. Really well located for the bars and restaurants in the marina. would highly recommend.

Foi um enorme prazer passar o nosso Natal nesta casa. Fomos recebidos com um kit de boas vindas muito gentil com vinho, água, biscoitos , chás e cafés. A casa tem tudo que você precisará para passar a sua estadia. Apesar do frio (Dezembro) dormimos confortavelmente uma vez que a casa possui ar condicionado quente nos quartos. Usamos a lareira na sala e isso nos permitiu ter momentos agradáveis. A localização é excepcional, perto de supermercados e demais comércios e caminhando cerca de 15 minutos você poderá chegar à praia. Esperamos poder voltar no verão.

 

It was a great pleasure to spend our Christmas in this house. We were greeted with a very nice welcome kit with wine, water, biscuits, tea and coffee. The house has everything you will need for your stay. Despite the cold (December) we slept comfortably since the house has hot air conditioning in the bedrooms. We used the fireplace in the living room and this allowed us to have pleasant moments. The location is exceptional, close to supermarkets and other shops and in about 15 minutes walking you can reach the beach. We hope to be able to return in the summer. 

Veridiana   Jan 2021
отличное место для вашего отдыха, все в пешей доступности, пляж 10 мин пешком, порт также. Красивый стильный интерьер, чистота, приятное общение с хозяином дома. Есть все необходимые удобства. Закрытая территория, что идеально для отдыха с детьми. Есть кондиционер в каждой спальне, летом для прохлады, осенью-зимой для обогрева. Нам все понравилось, очень рекомендую и с удовольствием вернемся!

 

 A great place for your vacation, everything is within walking distance, the beach is 10 minutes walk, the port is also. Beautiful stylish interior, cleanliness, pleasant communication with the owner of the house. There are all the necessary amenities. Closed area, which is ideal for families with children. There is an air conditioner in every bedroom, in summer for coolness, in autumn and winter for heating. We liked everything, I highly recommend it and will be happy to return!

Muito obrigada Elisabete! Great property for our team of 5 we absolutely enjoyed our time in the house. Elisabete was available to answer any questions or concerns! A bit chilly at night in november, but with warm clothes and heaters in the room we were comfortable.

 

Coralie   Dec 2019

Very beautifully decorated little house in a gated holiday villa complex with five outside spaces. Two to catch the morning sun, two to catch the evening sun and one roof top terrace with deck chairs. The hammock particularly appreciated by our children. Very friendly and welcoming contact, easy to get hold of. 10 min walk to the buzzling Vilamoura marina with all the bars and restaurants you could want. We had a fantastic few days in late October to catch the last summer rays before London winter. Really recommend taking a boat trip along the coast to the Benagil caves. Stunning!

Eva-Lena   Oct 2019
Lovely clean apartment in a great central location!

 

Tom   Oct 2019
Very well maintained property in a quiet location very close to the Marina. About a 10 minute walk. The property is on two floors and has a roof terrace.

Fabulous Villa

What a find ! A beautifully decorated, clean villa. It had absolutely everything we needed and it was in a great location . Just wish we could have spent longer. The owners were also very kind and attentive. Would definitely recommend a stay here .

Lovely clean comfortable apartment in gated shared area. Very close to the action, literally a short walk to the marina and all its facilities. Always felt safe at home and out for dinner, drinks etc.
Michael   Aug 2018
Perfect
Group of 4 stay in the Villa for 5 days in June. A perfect location for the marina. Welcomed by the lady in charge who explained everything. We were delayed and she still welcomed us with a smile and had time for us to settle in. Whilst the outside areas could do with a little upgrading the interior of the villa was clean and modern with all the requirements you would expect today.
CJinKent   Aug 2018

Très bonne location.

 

Really nice rental.

Florent   Jul 2018
Fantastic stay in a awesome location
Beautiful villa right in the thick of where all the action happens in Vilamoura. Very close to the Marina and beach. The inside of the Villa is very surprising and immaculate. T The villas community it is based in was a little run down but as early season they were working on doing it up whilst we were there but that caused no issues Will come back
Daniel K.   Jun 2018
Great villa good location to marina and beach. The estate that villa is in is not the best very run down, but once inside it's lovely. Great for a base in vilamoura
