We have been to four resorts in the Algarve region, but I must say, I think Ferraguda is our favourite by far. We are a family of four and holidayed with our friends - also a family of four. Casa Limoeiro catered to our every need. The size of the villa was ample for both families. All bedrooms are a good size, and we were lucky enough to bag the main suite - with its very own lounge area. I was impressed that there were four bathrooms too, a kitchenette area on the ground floor - which made it easier for drinks/snacks etc by the pool. Loved having the use of a utility room for laundry etc. We are big fans of self catering and we had everything we needed at the villa.
We didn’t really need the services of George (the concierge) but he was just a call away if required. Wilma, who looked after our airport transfers and also a day trip to the local water park was equally efficient.
The villa was in a perfect location - and I feel that this was the main highlight for us. We didn’t hire a car as we only stayed a week, but also, there was no need as we were 10/15 mins away from all local amenities. The main square in Ferragudo was lovely & perfect for dining out. Loved the bustling atmosphere of, and found all the local eateries offered great cuisine. The beach was 15mins away and what a delightful bay! In comparison to other resorts we’ve visited, this bay had a lot to offer. Two lovely restaurants - one of which (Club Nau) we visited twice. Beautiful setting right on the beach with live music/entertainment. Try the cataplana - it’s fab. The bay was a lot calmer than further up the coast, and because of this we were able to kayak, paddle board and enjoy the floating inflatable obstacle course. Beds/shades readily available to hire for half or a full day. Ferragudo is clearly a popular resort for the locals. We found everyone friendly and welcoming. Lidl is a walk away, but a taxi would be required to transfer all your shopping back! However, there’s a small local store on the way to the main square that had a fresh meat and deli counter which was perfect, especially if you wanted fresh produce for a bbq.
I wouldn’t hesitate to book Casa Limoeiro and the same transfer service again. Kelly (the owner) has been more than helpful since we booked, and because of our late arrival she went over and above to provide provisions we required to see us through until we were able to get to the shops. A wonderful & memorable holiday all round!!
