We rented Villa Lopes for 9 of our wedding party. From the outset the management company were very easy to deal with and when we viewed the villa in advance Raul, a neighbour and house minder was very nice and obliging. We hired 3 villas for the event and this was by far the best one.
The villa is finished to a very high standard throughout with all bedrooms ensuite. Raul, who minds the house recently oversaw a remodelling project on the house and it appears his hospitality background has paid dividends. Raul was on hand at all times to advise on local shopping, services and even mechanics!
The villa consists of 2 downstairs en suite double bedrooms, 2 upstairs en suite double rooms and 1 upstairs twin en suite. All but one downstairs and one upstairs double bedroom have walk in showers, this room has a bath/shower unit. There is a roof top terrace, large (well equipped) kitchen, large dining room and table and a large sitting room. The washing machine is industrial sized and the cooker is induction hob. It’s a 15-20 minute walk in to town and 10 min walk to the supermarket which is well stocked and reasonably priced. There is parking in the driveway or outside the gate. There is an outdoor bbq, wc and lots of garden.
There is a step just inside the front door to the kitchen and bedrooms and a step between the sitting room and dining area. 1 step ramps would be required for disabled access. Guests would need to be warned of them also.
The Jacuzzi is heated at extra cost (can’t recall the price but worth checking in advance). I was slightly annoyed that the mgmt. co. deducted paypal costs from my deposit.
I would definitely stay here again with a large group and have no reservations in recommending the villa to others.
