The property is beautifully situated on a hill to give great views over the sea. The terrace is wonderful for capturing the views well including the sunsets. Only a short walk to the promenade. The living space is good, well sized. The furniture is tired, definitely not luxurious, but functional. You can feel that the property is one of many by the same company as it lacks some of the personal touches you find from small owners. We had little in the ways of a welcome pack either in terms of provisions or information. We were also unlucky as the host representing the company for this property could not be available as much as she would usually be before or during our stay. We did not meet a host. But I see from other reviews that clients usually experience good care and communication with her.
When you book your confirmation will show you are staying at Villa dos
Mundos. Ignore this and ignore the random street number given. Pay full attention to any messages you receive that have a different number for the address. I did not spot the difference which caused some confusion (and a little panic!) when we arrived at the wrong property.
I would certainly go back and would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a great base from which to explore a beautiful island.
