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.

We all had a fabulous holiday and it was made even better by the accommodation. Our villa was very spacious, with all the comforts you need. The pool was a good size and the gardens beautiful. We have already booked another holiday in Portugal for next year, and very much looking forward to it.

The villa was everything we wanted. We chose it because of the location, which was away from the centre of the tourist area, but close enough so that we could visit if we wanted.

The facilities at the villa were excellent and very well maintained. The pool is a great size and there are plenty of sun loungers. The decor is quirky and the villa is secure and in a nice quiet location. On arrival everything was spotless and the cleaners who came during the week were very thorough and friendly. The location is great: short walk to a few shops, bars and restaurants and a short drive to Gale beach. Would highly recommend!

We booked Villa Oliveiras in Vale de Parra through Solmar Villas from the 1st May to 8th May 2010 to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with our children and grandchildren. There were 6 adults, 3 children and a baby - 10 of us in all. Solmar Villas acquired an extra bed and a cot for us at a reasonable extra cost.

The villa was brilliant. It was spacious, modern and very comfortable. The pool was amazing and the outside barbecue got used nearly every day. The gardens were well kept and there were more than adequate sun lounges. I would recommend this villa for all families to enjoy! Hope they enjoy it as much as we did.

We thought the villa was excellent value for money and in a lovely quiet location with plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. We visited the Slide and Splash aqua park and Zoomarine, both of which the children really enjoyed. Boca doce cafe was great for coffee, snacks and icecreams. Our favourite restaurant was Prima pasta. We were very happy with all the arrangements from Solmar villas. I have been recommending the company to friends.

Rated Excellent. One of the best villa's we have stayed in without a doubt. Usually go with James villas but thought we would give solmar a try. A big a spacious villa, very light and airy. everything you would need for a great holiday. Beach, restaurants and bars within walking distance. Furnishing excellent quality, big flat screen TV which came in handy for Wimbledon. No hesitation to book for next year . Quite peaceful and quite location.

Rated: Good. Excellent position, obviously been a beautiful villa when first built but the 'old lady' is a little 'tired' but is very clean and still a lovely place to stay. The pool heater was not turned initially but we did enjoy 3 days of warm pool and the wi-fi would not connect (wrong password in details) but 10 years ago this would never have been a complaint. Fabulous and quiet villa in need of some attention to make it perfect. But worthy of a visit

Rated: Excellent. The villa was everything we wanted, we chose it because of the location which was away from the centre of the tourist area but close enough we could visit if we wanted. We also chose it because of the private heated swimming pool, we spend a lot of time in the pool. The villa was well stocked with equipment we didn't want for anything. The villa was cleaned twice whilst we were there . We hired a car from the airport which made it easy to get around. There is a supermarket called Apelonia which is in Gale which is well worth a visit many well known brands and only a short drive away.

We had a fab holiday at Villa Oliveiras. Great location for the Zoomarine and water parks, as well as the beaches and shops. Very spacious, clean and well equipped. Pool was lovely and the pool heating was very much needed, great little sun trap around the pool. Security at the villa was great and helped make us feel very safe and the office was only down the road had we needed them. I would highly recommend and would love to return soon ourselves.

The villa is within a 20 minute walk to the supermarket and 20/25 minute walk to the wonderful Galé beach. The area is very nice and the villa was very easy to find with the directions provided by solmar villas. Key pick up and drop off was straight forward. We would definitely stay here again.

The location is great, about an hour from Faro, easy walking distance to Gale and even the beaches (about 15-20 minutes) which are stunning. The Gardens and pool were very well kept and the pool heating a godsend in April. The surrounding area was lovely, very pretty and peaceful with some lovely walks..

Had a fantastic holiday, Villa was superb, well equipped spotlessly clean with lovely smiley cleaner. The beaches were a 30 min walk away and well worth it, there is a coast line walk to all beaches ( bar at each beach) and it is stunning. New Aldi being built next to old supermarket 10 min walk and The Arcadia bar opposite principal offices (key collection) were very obliging and looked after our cases whilst we waited for checkin/checkout times. Highly recommended for fit and active adults who enjoy walking.
