We had a great family holiday at the villa - kids enjoyed the pool as did the adults and it’s fairly close to the beach and restaurants - a visit to zoomarine and mr singhs is a must

Traditional property that felt a little 'tired' and in need of updating.
On arrival we were a little disappointed as the property looked much better in the photos. Although very clean and well stocked in the kitchen some of the furnishings need replacing. Patio doors to bedrooms would not lock, although the shutters did provide some security. The outdoor dining table and chairs had been well used and the chair cushions were threadbare and had holes. One of the umbrellas had holes and tears which didn't look very nice. This was mentioned to the office and we were told as it was near the end of the season items like these would be replaced at the start of the next season. It shouldn't matter what time you visit the property it should be in excellent condition throughout the season. It would be nice to have beach towels for use outside and at the beach instead of bathroom towels. However, we did enjoy our stay, the property was comfortable and in an excellent location. We have visited Vale de Parra numerous times over the last 20+ years staying in different villas. Barros was a little too traditional for us in terms of the interior styling. The pool was kept clean and the maids did an excellent job. Overall we felt the property's fixtures, fittings and furnishings needed updating.

Wonderful Private Villa
7 girls on a 50th celebration! Having 4 bathrooms between us was fantastic, the villa and its grounds were immaculate. Girls in office were very quick responding to the one and only problem we had which was only that we needed another key!! Would highly recommend to families or groups of friends. Lots of lovely restaurants close by to walk to, the local Indian restaurant, Mr Singh makes amazing curry, we all agreed it was one of the best curries we had ever had. Having a locked gate and an alarm at the villa makes you feel very safe when in or out of the villa. We would all definitely go back again.

It was a wonderful stay with the whole family in Springtime.
The house is big enough for 6 adults and 2 Childern. Everything is well kept and very clean.The pool is clean and heated as desired. We enjoyed the daily bath very much. The location of the villa is good. The beach is within walking distance. Since the house is at the end of a cul-de-sac, it is very quiet.200 meters from the house is a Indian restaurant, which is highly recommend. The people in the office were very nice and helpful. The only thing that was a bit difficult was the many steps in and around the house with small childern. We would rent the house again at any time and recommend it.

A beautiful villa which was ideal for our family holiday.
The villa was well equipped and very clean. The furnishings were to a high standard and very comfortable. The swimming pool was the highlight -we had heating as we were not sure of the weather at this time of year. There was plenty of space for all the family - children enjoyed the playhouse and lots of areas for adults to relax. We did not hire a car but think it would have been a good idea as the supermarket was a good 10-15 minute walk and it would have been easier to get to beaches. However the taxis were efficient and reliable and we enjoyed visits to Zoomarine and Albufeira. A very enjoyable holiday.

Villa Barros
A perfect holiday home. Easy to follow instructions for picking up and dropping off keys. Well equipped, cleaned twice whilst we were there.Very close to restaurants, a short walk to the supermarket and a slightly longer walk to two beaches. A bus stop at the end of the road for those wanting a trip to Albufeira.

This is an amazing place to go especially it's small children!
We have been to this villa twice now I love it! I would go every year if my husband let me! We had an amazing time everything is so close only downside is there is not a shop very close to pick up essentials like water but supermarket only 15 minute walk and it is amazing! Lovely beach close by and nice new pizza pasta place opened up near the beach! Feel really safe in the villa and it has everything you need!

Excellent Villa
We have just returned from a 2 week stay at Villa Barros. We are two families, with 3 grown-up children, so 7 adults. However, the villa was spacious enough to accommodate us all. In fact, it was bigger than it looked on the website. We enjoyed the pool, which was regularly cleaned and also the maid service. We had numerous BBQ's and ate outside every meal. Being at the end of a cul-de-sac the villa was secluded and quiet. We liked Gale, particularly the beach and its numerous bars, and would recommend it for a relaxing beach holiday.

Excellent villa, perfect location
The villa was absolutely fantastic, it had all of the equipment and comfort you are looking for when wanting a lovely week away with family. Although there was only three of us (2 adults and an 18 month old) we love s the space that the villa offered and the outside area was great. Although there was a limited view, it was so peaceful and private which we really appreciated. The bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen were all lovely, and the twice weekly clean was very welcome. Thank you to all of the staff that attended the villa, they did a great job. We did unfortunately have a power cut the first three nights but as soon as the team at the Principal office found out they rectified the problem within the hour - which was a short in the external lights. The only delay was due to the cyber attack as we didn't realise our messages weren't getting through initially. Florence was so helpful prior to arrival and answered all of our questions. The welcome basket on arrival was very welcome after a 4.30am start to get there. The villa is located perfectly, restaurants in walking distance, a supermarket and beach also in walking distance but we had hired a car which made things much easier with a little one. Gale beach was beautiful and we spent each morning there which our daughter loved and then afternoons out or by the pool. If you hire a car and don't want to spend a small fortune on food, there is an Aldi on site next to makro where we saved a small fortune but got some delicious food. Overall, we would highly recommend this villa, and although we don't usually return to the same place twice we would definitely consider it a small it was so good for a family holiday.

Lovely villa
We stayed here for a week in August 2016 and loved it. The villa is really lovely, very clean and spacious. The pool is a really good size and we enjoyed many days and evening outside around this area using the bbq and just relaxing. The villa is very private and is not overlooked. It has a well equipped kitchen and has everything you could need. There are even a few games and a selection of books to read. All the bathrooms are lovely and clean and as you see in the photos. We did walk to the beach one day which took about 15 mins but we found it more convenient to drive to the Salgados beach which has a large car park and is only about a 2-3 minute drive and was a little quieter as the beaches were very busy. We enjoyed an Indian takeaway one evening and this is within a 2 minute walk. We would definitely recommend this villa, it is lovely.

Perfect holiday villa for a large family or group of friends
We have just returned from staying in this perfect villa. It is very spacious and well equipped for a large family or group of friends. The pool is large and well laid out with plenty of sun beds, towels and parasols. The garden is pretty with lots of colourful flowers. The Wendy house was much appreciated by our four year old granddaughter. I would recommend paying for the pool to be heated as we did as this meant we could have early morning swims. The villas interiors are well designed and every thing is clean and in good order thanks to the 3 times a week maid service. I can't think of anything that was missing! The supermarket is within a 15 minute walk, but be aware prices are more expensive than in the UK. We would recommend Mr Singhs Indian at the end of the road. Our biggest thanks goes to the taxi drivers who are very good. A special mention for Pedro who drove us all over to Aqua land, Albufeira old town (many times) & the beach at Armacao de Pera. He is very friendly & helpful man who will fit you in at short notice and also return to pick you back up later which is great when you are traveling with a 4 year old and a baby. Overall, a great holiday for all ages, we would definitely return.

Très belle villa a proximité de la plage, des commerces et des restaurants
Villa située dans une impasse calme du quartier de Galé et a proximité (à pied) de la plage, du supermarché et de plusieurs restaurants agréables. Les chambres sont spacieuses avec chacune leur salle de bain, elles-mêmes en très bon état. Salon et salle à manger bien aménagés, cuisine bien équipée. Espace extérieur pas très grand mais fonctionnel, piscine chauffée très agréable. Agence professionnelle et à l'écoute En résumé, très bon séjour à la villa barros

Excellent holiday thanks to superb villa
Villa Barros exceeded our expectations. The provisions left for us on arrival was a lovely touch and very welcome, very appreciative. Six adults and two grandchildren 2 and 3 but we all had our own space if we wanted. Upstairs was allocated to our newly engaged son and fiance which was fantastic as they had their own space to retreat to. The other adult bedrooms had own patio area to sit and relax/read if needed. The Villa was spotless and cleaned twice in our week and also towels changed. The pool was also cleaned regularly. We loved the privacy of the Villa not overlooked at all and pretty garden with heated pool a definite must and used all through holiday. Little ones confidence and swimming skills improved throughout the week. The lemon tree supplied us with slices of lemon in our drinks. Beach a little further than we thought took us about 25 minutes to walk (we are mid-60's). There was a supermarket about 10/15 minutes away and level walk, on our first shop we did get a taxi back, don't forget to get the turkey and lamb kebabs for BBQ they were delicious. The restaurant on the beach Pedras Amarelas was superb, food and service was second to none not to mention the fantastic view. Price quite high but worth it at least once. The restaurant at the top of the road Do Ti-manel was also very good and just a couple of minutes walk away, very popular, lots of people were queuing while we were eating and were still there at 9.00 p.m.so must book. I could go on with all the positives but have to stop sometime!!! Our first experience of Portugal and Villa Barros together with the very friendly Portuguese people made it a holiday not to be forgotten. Many thanks to all, we will be back.

Summer At Last!
After escaping the horrible British summer, rain, rain and more rain, we made it to the beautiful Villa Barros. The villa was everything we expected and more. Spacious, especially if you bag the top bedroom with two balconies, but every room has a terrace and some nice nooks and crannies to escape with a good book. The wendy house was a hit with my 2 year old and he spent most of the day in there, handy when the sun was so hot. The indian restaurant at the top of the road is first class, non greasy and loads of choice! Beautiful beaches within 15 minute walk with beach bars and lovely soft sand! What more could you ask for. Many Thanks for an excellent holiday! C & Family

Super, spacious, private well proportioned villa
We had a lovely relaxing week. The villa has very good sized living space and excellent bathrooms and bedrooms. The outside space is very pretty with of course the lovely pool and a nice grass area that my kids could play on too. We had the pool heated this year which I would highly recommend. Everything was kept very clean and tidy and we would definitely come back. The area is very peaceful and the beaches are beautiful. Can't wait to return.

Perfect for a family of various ages! Well equipped and ideally located!
Absolutely perfect for our family! Very well described by owners direct. The property was spotless and everything was in good working order although we never found out how to switch the pool lights on. The maids visited regularly to replace towels etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone. There were plenty of decent bars and restaurants a short taxi drive away and a few within walking distance. The local beaches were very quiet and beautiful. All in all a perfect holiday.

Beautiful property with lovely views and great pool
Our stay at Villa Barros was really great, the villa was beautiful with a great pool and lovely views. We did travel out of season so not much was open in the area but enough for what we needed. There is a couple of lovely restaurants in walking distance and the rest were a short drive away. The villa was immaculately clean and well presented and the pool nice and warm. We would definitely recommend the villa to anyone.

Perfekter Urlaub
Das Haus entspricht der Beschreibung in vollem Umfang. Es ist sehr gut ausgestattet, sehr ruhig gelegen, die Schlafzimmer und Bäder sind groß, hell, sauber und modern eingerichtet. Auch der Pool ist groß (im Oktober bis zum Nachmittag in der Sonne), es gibt eine überdachte Terrasse, auf der man im Oktober noch angenehm in der Sonne frühstücken konnte. Zum herrlichen Strand sind es fußläufig nur 10 Minuten. Mehrere Supermärkte in unmittelbarer Umgebung, einschließlich Aldi. Das größte Schlafzimmer im OG mit großem Bad hat zwei Balkone. Das fanden wir schon sehr luxuriös. Der Kamin im Haus ist allerdings nicht zu benutzen. An unserem letzten Tag war es bedeckt und geduscht werden konnte dann nur noch lauwarm. Insgesamt ein perfektes Urlaubsdomizil, das wir jederzeit wieder mieten würden.
