Beautiful 3 Bedroom Villa With Direct Access To Pool Salema

Villa was great. Photos don't really do it justice. Villa is air conditioned. All 3 bedrooms are on the ground floor, then the main living/dining area and kitchen. There is a small courtyard area which then leads out to the swimming pool area. There is a roof terrace and BBQ are on the second floor (we did not use it - it was quite windy up there). The swimming pool appeared to be unheated and therefore was quite cold for the kids - but once in, you got used to it. It would be cold if you were going during early or late summer (but I would hope the resort would turn on the pool heating at that time....) The swimming pool area for this particular villa is gated and semi-private (it is shared with about 20 other properties). The other swimming pools on the resort were not gated, and so can be used by anyone on the resort. Therefore, this villa had the best of both worlds (we could visit all the other pools but "our" gated pool area also gave us a bit more security with the kids and a bit more peace). This pool was also the best pool on the resort. The resort was quite quiet when we visited (August 2015). There are no restaurants on the resort (although this resort is right next door to another resort where there are several restaurants, spa, golf etc). Get your bread in the local village (5 minutes walk - it is quicker to walk than drive). There is also a large supermarket. There is a great local sandy beach called Salema with lots of restaurants.

The villa was very well appointed and decorated to a high standard. The villa management throughout the booking process and arrival were extremely helpful. If you are looking for a quiet Holiday with little distractions around you .... book this one.

We chose Quinta da Encosta when our first choice in Martinhal was not available and have absolutely no regrets. The apartment has two floors and roof top terrace which is excellent for BBQ's. All the rooms are extremely comfortable and well equipped. Having two large shower rooms was well appreciated especially as there was no shortage of hot water. The surrounding area was quiet so you can "chill-out" when you need to. Budens has an excellent Supermarket within reach. The apartment is really close to a range of excellent beaches and places to eat. Thoroughly recommended

We had a lovely holiday in this super villa. Great service all round (the maid service was much appreciated!).
