Resort Description
A sweeping three miles stretch of perfectly manicured golden sand dominates this part of the Portuguese coastline, and is backed by dramatic limestone cliffs making it one of the Algarve's most picturesque resorts. Gale beach (or Praia de Gale) is suitable for all ages, with calming waters ideal for paddling on some days, and on others there are stronger waves making water sports a great option. Our villas in Gale are within easy reach of the beach, whilst the vibrant town of Albufeira is just a short drive away.

The Villa was very spacious, the bedrooms were very comfortable, it is situated in a good location. The only negatives, the kitchen is slightly small but who wants to spend hours in the kitchen on holiday, also there are four bedrooms that can sleep 8 people but I would suggest the sofa can only fit 3 or 4 people.

Very clean, spacious and nicely furnished villa. Everything you need for a villa holiday provided. Great location, nice pool and garden area. Easy walking distance to beaches, supermarket and a few restaurants. There is a taxi rank 10 minutes walk away if you don't want to drive.

Couldn't fault the villa, it was really lovely - had everything we needed and great location. Gale has some great beaches and has a quieter pace, great for those looking for a relaxed, quiet place but is not far from Albufeira old town (about 7kms and easily reached by taxi or bus) for a more lively resort.

Villa Marquesa was perfect for our family. Well located near to the Apolonia Supermarket that supply a fab selection of food. Within walking distance of beach with great restaurants. Pool was well used by us all and was clean and well maintained. In fact the facilities within the villa were ideal too, great tv, bedrooms and bathrooms of a good standard. Also super Barbeque/outdoor cooking area was enjoyed by us all Would definately recommend

The villa is in a great location, walking distance to beaches, supermarket, restaurants, bakery, it is a quiet location so perfect if you want a peaceful holiday with not lots of people around. The beach was wonderful, great for children & has 2 lovely restaurants in the cliffs overlooking the sea. If you want to go to Albufeira for an evening it’s only a 10 min taxi drive. Portugal is very friendly & most speak English. The villa was well equipped & clean, the bathrooms were lovely as was the 3 bedrooms upstairs, it’s spacious & the pool was very clean & well maintained. The only negative comments I have are : we had to buy ant powder as there were lots in the kitchen, the water in the pool was very cold but it is early in the season & not the choice to heat. All said we had a wonderful week, we loved Gale & are looking to returning.

Firstly, we had a fantastic holiday and wish we had booked for longer. The villa is in a great central location with everything you need close by with quick access to some lovely smaller beaches. Great restaurants nearby in fantastic locations, seafood and fish is a must to eat in Portugal....delicious. Modern and clean villa, plenty of space and a great barbecue and entertaining area outside. Bathrooms and bedrooms were large with plenty of wardrobe space. Only have two small recommendations; the beds are a bit hard and gave us a stiff back in the morning and the kitchen could do with a few more pots/ utensils, knives desperately needed sharpening also, Would be useful to have a sign up to say that the windows and door shutters should be locked to secure the villa properly but it does have an alarm and a safe. Arriving on the first day, unpacking and getting food etc we didn’t have time to look at the folder before we crashed out for the night. Overall we loved the villa, Galé and Portugal and will be back again.

Had a great time here. So clean and had every single thing, and more, that you could wish for especially in the kitchen. Nice pool and outside area. It was near a supermarket and there were places to eat around a 10/15 minute walk away. These are not all located together. There is no 'strip' of bars and restaurants as such and no proper walk way along the sea front but it's also not touristy. We loved Gale. We also loved the Dubliner bar. A wee bit further walk but well worth it as the food was excellent and tasty and there was live music Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Would definitely go here again.
