We were a party of seven adults and two children (6y, and 22mths). We were so looking forward to staying at Villa Quina: we were not disappointed. The descriptions for location, layout and facilities were spot on. It was very well equipped, with lots of room for everyone to find chill out areas. The beds were comfortable and everyone was happy with the cleanliness. We enjoyed the pool immensely, being a good size for swimming lengths. We had an evening barbecue under the pagoda which was sheltered and quite magical. The views across the orange groves were beautiful and the evening scents of the vegetation delightful. Inacia, the housekeeper, was friendly and lovely to talk to. She quietly got on with her work and kept the villa in tip top order.
We had several excursions to explore the local area, visiting Silves Castle, Albufeira town, beach and marina, Praia de Marinha hill top walk and beach, and the board walk. The Villa is well placed for getting supplies. We shopped at Guia, Silves, Alcantarilha and Albufeira enjoying local wines, beers, fruits, olives, artisan breads, fish and meats.
All in all we had a lovely time, confident that should there have been any problems, the Villa Quina team would have sorted things out for us. We had no problems and feel that everyone behind the scenes have created a real home from home with good instructions on what to expect and what was expected from us. We sincerely hope we can visit again and would happily recommend the property to friends.
