This villa was in a lovely quiet location with a nice pool and garden for the children to play in. The kitchen was really well equipped which was important to us as we cooked quite a bit. It was very clean, though a little dated in places (the bathrooms, especially the smaller shower). The beds were comfortable and the travel cot supplied was good, large and sturdy. It was great to have the washing line up on the roof terrace to get our washing dry (lots of it with 2 children under 5)! It was well located to explore the many lovely beaches in the area but also for access to the N125 road with its larger shops and other places to visit on rainy days. Though a car wasn't absolutely essential, I would definitely say it was desirable to be able to explore different beaches, though the villa is actually on the bus route to Albufeira for non-drivers.

The outside space at the villa was good and it was peaceful. The villa needed some cosmetic updating although you could see they had tried. There was an ant problem in the shower room and kitchen and the middle bedroom had a dusty smell . Location was good 5 minutes drive from Gale beach. We had a holiday with Solmar last year and had a great experience so we're a little disappointed against last years standard.

Spacious villa, everything you need is there. Kitchen is a good size with all utensils and appliances required. Cooker, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, toaster. Big bedrooms and nice size social areas. The pool is big, outdoor space is a good size and the grounds of the villa are well kept and spacious. Bonus of roof terrace too! Shops are not too far away and a few eating places within walking distance 3-4beaches in a 15-25 minute walk from the villa. Rabbit beach (Praia da Coelha) is the closest Had a fantastic time at Villa Lourenco and would definitely return.

This is our second time booking Lorenco through Solmar .They offer great last minute deals, we booked the day before we arrived. The villa itself is set in a very nice residential area . A large villa with pool it also has super fast wifi. Located just a few minutes walk are several restaurants and shops,and a short drive takes you to the Old Town. We will use Solmar again and stay at Lorenco.

Villa was ideal for us 4 guests. Lovely Pool. Very peaceful. I would actually say a car is advised as there isnt a lot local to the Villa. The odd bar and restaurant. But thats it. Lovely small beach a good 25 minute walk away up and downhill. Area isnt for the unfit.

I'd rate my overall experience for this villa as: Excellent. We have hired about six villas in the past and this one has been the best. Fully equipped, and I mean FULLY, even down to the garlic crusher. Very clean and no sign of wear. Beds were good, pool size great, everything was wonderful. The only thing we did not like was having to leave to come home!

Rated Excellent. The villa was very well equipped and the layout was good too. The outside area was excellently maintained and the view from the roof terrace was amazing. The swimming pool had an added ledge all around the pool which I thought was a brilliant idea. The food pack was very luxury I thought as far as food packs go, my whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. Great value for money with this villa, you will not be disappointed.

Rated Excellent. First time using Solmar Villas and we will def use them again .The guy I dealt with at Solmar UK was very helpful and passage of info was outstanding Outstanding! The villa is beautiful, a bit dated with interior decor, but the bath rooms were modern .The Villa itself is in a fantastic spot ,very nice garden and pool ( cleaned daily ) , a 5 min walk in either direction takes to local eating houses .Friendly staff and really good food .10 minute walk takes you to a small shop with again very friendly staff .A 10 minute drive takes you into the old town .And a 15 minute drive takes you to a excellent mall with all the designer labels .Only one downside , trying to find the actual entrance to villa at midnight was a nightmare! But that was the only fault we had .Stunning, clean , peaceful , great restaurants close by .we will be back again in 2015

The villa was clean, well-equipped and had a fabulous swimming pool. Only downside was that the tv had very limited channels, although we didn't really watch much tv anyway. The area was quiet and we had to get taxis if we wanted a livelier night out. A couple of lovely nearby restaurants within walking distance. Would recommend this villa to families with young children.

Excellent location, being convenient for shops and walks. Easy access to Albufeira, and good selection of clean beaches, either small or the larger Gale beach. Villa itself well maintained and kept very clean by the owner who was both very friendly and helpful. This is our second visit to this villa and therefore knew what to expect and were not disappointed..
