The stay in the villa was fantastic. The villa itself and everything around it was perfect. Everyone had their own space and everyone found their own place. Whether the pool or billiards, the beach or the terrace, where everyone came together for the evening, were simply beautiful.
As for the service, whether it was Perdo, who really took excellent care of everything, or Melanie, who took care of the shopping and the wonderful cooking team with the waiters, it was all great and without any complaint.
Please greet everyone very warmly from me and again a thank you for the great work. This is exactly how you imagine a relaxing vacation, which my whole family enjoyed very much.

Marquesa
Europe / Portugal / Algarve
This is modern luxury living at its finest - pool, jacuzzi, gym, stunning sea views and direct beach access - truly hard to beat.
Overview
Villa Marquesa is ideally located near the charming laid-back resort of Olhos d’Agua – once a fishing village, now a town centred around a sandy cove offering a wide choice of restaurants, bars and activities. The villa is also within easy reach of lively Albufeira, making it perfect for those seeking a peaceful and relaxing escape close to a major resort, without actually being in it.
The property is accessed via a secure gated driveway with plenty of parking. Enter the property through large Italian vaulted doors which open to an expansive open plan living/dining area with impressive sea views and a baby grand piano. From this area there are French doors to a covered terrace with gas barbecue and alfresco dining space with panoramic views – guests can enjoy relaxed evening meals with the twinkling lights of local fishing boats as the backdrop. The infinity pool made with Italian Bisazza tiling is a true highlight. Villa Marquesa is fully air conditioned.
