Villa Licinia was fabulous with wonderful views of the sea, a quiet location but not far from shops and good restaurants. We have stayed at many villas in the Algarve and this is one of the best, never stayed at one with two kitchens!

Villa Licinia was a wonderful holiday property. The quiet location was perfect for us but within easy reach of restaurants and amenities. The gardens were beautiful and the pool was spot on. Thoroughly recommend this villa.

This was our second stay at Villa Licinia since 2017. The villa is in a beautiful location with amazing views. The swimming pool is great but could do with the option of being heated. The bedrooms are spacious and air-con a real bonus. Since 2017 sun loungers, patio table & chairs have been updated along with a new handrail into the pool plus a new walk-in shower is great for those with mobility issues. Vale da Parra is a short walk away but car hire is a must if you need more amenities.

A well equipped Villa in a great location. We had lovely views of the sea and could walk to the beach within 30 minutes. A car was necessary as the location was reasonably isolated, but that assured a degree of privacy and that's what we wanted. Food stores beaches, restaurants and activities were all in a short driving distance, so the location of the villa did not restrict what we wanted to do. Swimming pool was relatively small for three teenage kids albeit that didn't prevent them utilising it at every opportunity. Definitely would book this Villa again

Very nice villa lovely location and fantastic view of coastline from balcony comfortable and well equipped the only downside was the pool looked a little dirty around the edges and was only cleaned two days before we went home , other than that would come back just for the view.

We returned for a second year to Villa Licinia as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there in 2017. We love the villa and our two boys love the pool. It’s in a great location for getting to some amazing beaches...

The villa is comfortable and clean with all necessary facilities. It is located in a quiet rural area but still only 10 mins to Gale beach or Guia in the other direction.

Having visited the Villa Licinia some years ago (pre-facelift), we found it just as enchanting as previously. Everything we needed was there, everything in excellent condition. One tiny thing - the new, lovely kitchen is now located at a little distance from the dining area and pool area, so everything for meals needs to be carried out through the villa; previously the kitchen was very conveniently sited. Not a big problem though!

Villa was clean and well maintained inside and out and had everything you could want to make it comfortable! It is close to great bars and beaches but just enough out of the town to be brilliantly peaceful. Would definitely recommend
