Positief: Netheid
Starting with the positive points:1. Good location, close to the beaches. Next to main road from Almancil to Quinta do Lago/Vale do Lobo but relatively quiet at night.2. Good size garden (not very large swimming pool tough).3. Good size BBQ, but placed right in front of a bedroom window, so if you forget closing the window the room will be filled with smoke.The not so nice things:1. On arrival instead with being greeted with a welcoming bottle of wine (or even water) you are informed that there are touristic taxes to be payed. These are legal but always included in the price. This was a first. They are referred to in the place description so always read the fine print to avoid nasty surprises.2. The place looks and feels cheap. For example, the place to eat outside its just some plastic chairs, a plastic table and a lamp hanging from the wall on two electrical wires. You cant seat straight on one of the rooms bathroom toilet without your knees hitting the lavatory (ridiculous). Everything is an absolute minimum.3. The villa is part of a compound with other villas and a kind of a farm where some days there are kids parties. If you intent to spend the days at the pool you can count on noise and lack of privacy (the place where those parties take place is right next to the villa and the fence offers no privacy).I do not recommend this place. For this price tag you can get much better in the same area. In fact, in 25 years this was my worst experience in Algarve
