4 groups of friends, 15 of us altogether and we all had the best time.
Ana and her brother went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From arranging the airport transfers, to stocking up the fridge for our late arrival, to including a baby gate so our little ones were safe, we couldn’t have asked for better hosts.
The villa itself is amazing. As others have said, the pictures just don’t do it justice. It’s incredible. We never felt like we were under each others feet as there was so much space.
The outdoor space gets the biggest thumbs up though. Pool, ping pong, football table, hot tub, inflatables, they had everything you could think of.
The area is very quiet and residential. The metro is within walking distance, the nearest shop is about a 15 minute walk, and the beach is about a 20 minute walk (unless you have 7 kids with you like we did, in which case it’ll take a good 45 minutes including an ice cream stop!) but Uber is available - which we only thought to use on the second to last day - so if it’s hot, we’d advise using one to get back to the villa. It’s really cheap.
We also enquired about getting a catering company in one night to cook for us. Ana recommended her friends Armanda and Manuel. They cooked the most amazing Portuguese BBQ for us. We would highly recommended hiring them. Such wonderful people and amazing chefs!
Thank you Ana, you are a great host and we will definitely book the villa again!
