Villas in Praia da Oura

7 of us in late June. Very spacious villa well located. Portugese couple running it are great. Some aspects are perhaps getting a little dated - perhaps could do with a re-vamp.

Our stay at Villa Barlavento was a memorable one. We were greeted promptly by Ricardo who gave us a quick and informative tour of the villa, he also gave us some very useful information for local amenities. The villa itself was exceptionally clean, all of the rooms were very acommadating with more than enough room, comfortable beds with plenty of extra sheets and pillows. The kitchen was very well appointed with all of the necessary appliances, the big bonus being that it has 2 large Fridge/Freezers which was perfect for us. Also the wifi was excellent with a great signal throughout. However the best part of the villa was its garden and view. The views from the end of the garden and the roof terrace were sensational. The table and chairs were perfect for a big BBQ feast and the pool, although cold, was very clean. The only thing missing was either a pool or table tennis table for a bit of daytime fun. There is a supermarket within a 10 minute walk and if you ask nicely they will let you take a trolley home if you promise to bring it back!! The main strip is a €7 cab ride and the airport is 30-40 minutes tops. Overall then I would strongly recommend this villa, with its amazing views and peaceful location and great amenities. I'm currently booking our next stay for the same time next year!!
