Villa Tobias

Fantastic pool and a large terrace with stunning views. The villa has a very well equipped kitchen and multiple outdoor seating areas for eating and relaxing, and cleaners came twice during our 11 night stay which was appreciated. It was a great space for a family trip.

The upstairs living area had a strong smell of stale cigarette/cigar smoke (we hadn’t anticipated any property would allow smoking in 2025!).

Good location. Lovely garden and pool

Interiors were dated and building needs some sprucing up. For example the insect blinds were broken to the main bedroom -not what you expect when spending so much on the villa. Way too much furniture by the pool, it got in the way. No lighting by bbq outside and a bit of a pain having to go up and down to the kitchen so much.

Beautiful setting with ocean views from the deck. Lots of room for 3 couples to sit and talk on the deck, lounge in the living room or gather round the dining room table. Accessible to path that went to cliffs at ocean. Swimming pool was great. Location was excellent to serve as a base for day tripping anywhere in the Algarves.

Would suggest a binder or book at the front door with house info to make it easy to find wifi password access, how to use coffee maker etc. and possibly even some restaurant recommendations, maps of the area. We did find some lovely restaurants on our own. Would be a little easier to find if the name "Villa Tobias" was by the front gate.
