Casa Bele Vista certainly lived up to it's billing. A quiet area outside the town of Almancil, a car is essential, I recommend AutoGem car hire.
Caroline is a superb host and will do almost anything to make your break/holiday a success. She even did our shopping prior to arrival....thank you Caroline

You won't find a better deal as I scoured the web and hundreds of locations before booking the villa with Caroline the owner. I booked for 11 days in October with my disabled sister and our partners. Everywhere was accessible for my sister who had hired a motorised scooter to get around the villa. There are ramps all around and a wheel in shower with a toilet riser too. Everything you need for a self catering holiday is there - fully equipped kitchen, tv with English channels and even a huge array of books to read while you relax.
The views are just incredible and sitting on the terrace in the morning with the birds singing was just so peaceful. The evenings were also amazing watching all the lights twinkling in the distance while we dined outside with the pool lights on.
Our host Caroline was so helpful and kind, even bringing us candles and a lace tablecloth when we dined in with Angela's Gourmet Kitchen (which was also brilliant). She met us at the airport and also kindly escorted us back as we had a lot of luggage and medical equipment. You really couldn't ask for a better host or villa. We loved it and hope to return
when we can. Thank you Caroline. xx
