“Lovely villa everything you need and more. Loads of space, fab pool area. We had the best time. Lovely area and only a 20 minute walk to Vilamoura marina. No negatives at all! Would definitely recommend and may well be back!”— Beverley - Casa Oakdene September 2025
“We had an amazing family holiday. The villa was bigger than expected. The photos do not do it justice. It was very private , felt very secure and in a lovely quiet road. Short walk to local bars and restaurants and we used the little bakery almost daily. We had a supermarket delivery the day we arrived which was so useful. We walked down to the vibrant marina and beach a few times took about 20-30 minutes but we found uber taxis so reliable and cheap we used them too. From the moment I booked this villa Dan was available to answer questions and changed our dates with no problem at all.the men found the golf courses amazing so us ladies were able to really relax by the lovely pool .”— Susan - Casa Oakdene September 2024
"Myself and 7 other adults and 4 children stayed in the property for a wedding we was attending. The property was amazing, we had everything we needed for the children, and the location was ideal. Would 100% stay here again we loved every second!”— Amy - Casa Laranjal July 2025
“My husband and I and 3 other couples stayed here for 5 nights in May, the house is well kitted out, spacious and with all mod cons that is required. Outside area is great, we had the pool and hot tub heated for a fee. Great communication with the owner and overall a great place to stay, with around a 20 min nice walk to the marina. I would recommend booking this place”— Rachel - Casa Laranjal May 2025
"The villa is very well equipped, clean & extremely spacious. It’s in a great location overlooking the Pinhal golf course & there are several restaurants & bars within easy walking distance and just a 15 minute walk to Vilamoura Marina. We made good use of the pool & hot tub, especially after a round of golf! The bedrooms were large and all have en-suite facilities Host was very helpful prior to arrival & we had a minor issue during our stay that was dealt with quickly by the managing agents. Would have no hesitation in recommending Casa Laranjal & hope to visit again one day”— Brenda - Casa Laranjal November 2024
“This Villa ticked all the boxes for us. Opted for heated pool option which was a game changer for our kids. Also, the options of playing table tennis , Pool or Watch Netflix in door out the sun , gave the adults much needed downtime by the pool. Good location and only a 5 minute Uber from the Marina. Would definitely recommend!”— Joanne - Casa Verde June 2025

“Perfect accommodation for our golf trip of 8 adults. Modern, clean and in a nice quiet location. We would happily stay again!”— Ben - Casa Verde November 2025
“There were 6 adults and 2 Children, the Villa had everything we needed and the children and adults enjoyed the games in the basement. We used the pool and BBQ constantly and we were all sad to be going home after such a fantastic week. The village bars, restaurants and supermarket provided everything we needed for a totally relaxing week. We will be back again. Many thanks. Dave”

“The villa met all our expectations. During the day we could relax by the pool or play table tennis in the basement. The shops and bars as well as the beach were very easy to reach. The arrival was very easy, as was the departure. Although we had to leave a little earlier than planned because of our flight, we would have been allowed to leave our luggage in the yard for a few hours after consultation. In general we were all very satisfied with the villa.”
— Johanna - Casa Oakdene July 2024

“We were four guys playing golf mostly in the Vilamoura area. This property was perfect for us. We each got rooms with en-suite bath. The washer and dryer were handy to we didn't have to bring too many clothes. The pool and hot tub were a welcome relief after long days at the course. We had a great time!”
— Mark - Casa Oakdene March 2023
“Fantastic villa - very well equipped and excellent for small children with all equipment provided - pool guard with a toddler was brilliant. Great location. Highly recommend for large family group. Had a couple of questions while there which were answered very quickly”
— Cheryl - Casa Laranjal June 2024
“The home is absolutely beautiful and the location couldn't be better. My only "complaint" is that it was so nice that we didn't want to leave! We loved the space, which was more than enough for four adults and three children. The kids loved the pool. It is a great base to get to all of the beautiful cities and towns throughout the Algarves. We can only hope to go back one day!”
— Andrea - Casa Laranjal March 2023
“I plan to return every year!!”

“What an absolute dream of a villa! The property offered our family everything we could have possibly needed plus more! The owners communication was amazing- quick, clear and precise. Anything we asked was answered and the couple of tiny jobs we needed doing were done! Great local Amenities too! Do not hesitate to book this villa - you will not be disappointed”
— Lauren - Casa Verde August 2024

“We all really enjoyed our stay in Casa Oakdene, it was located in a quiet residential area which was perfect for us. There were a few places locally to eat and a handy little supermarket for everyday bits and pieces. We ate out a couple of times at the marina but just enjoyed a very relaxed holiday. The villa itself was beautiful, all bedrooms were a good size all with en suites too. It was also brilliant for little ones with the safety fence around the pool and stair gates. Dan was very accommodating providing two travel cots and a high chair too. I would definitely recommend Casa Oakdene to anyone looking for family holiday in a gorgeous villa - we would all definitely come back again”— Andrea - Casa Oakdene September 2024
“We loved our stay in Vilamoura! The house was even more perfect than the photos and description. Very convenient to the marina and beaches. The pool, hot tub and upstairs deck were extra special amenities during our stay. Thank you!”— Jennifer - Casa Laranjal October 2025
“The Villa was ideal for our family holiday of six adults and three children under 3. Having the stair gates and fence around the pool was an important feature for us. The Villa is very well equipped and ideally located in a quiet cul-de-sac near the beautiful old village, with good taxi links to the local area and marina. The kitchen area. is very spacious and well equipped. A floor plan would be useful to help with the holiday planning, as it is worth noting that whilst there are four bedrooms and four bathrooms, three of the bedrooms are en-suite, however the master bedroom has a separate bathroom. Communication throughout the booking process with Dan was excellent, he was very helpful and responsive. Another useful tip - we arranged a shopping delivery for the day of our arrival with Apolonia in Almancil, who were really excellent in meeting our requirements. We all had a really fabulous holiday and will look to return.”— Michael - Casa Laranjal June 2025
“A beautiful home with everything you need. A great location for golf with some great restaurants within walking distance.”— Lara - Casa Verde September 2025
“Excellent location. Really Clean villa and contained everything you need for a home from home feeling including extras e.g. plug adapters, games, cleaning items. All rooms had lots of storage and hangers in wardrobes. Communication before the holiday was great and provided comprehensive information about the villa and the area. A group of friends had the best time and would highly recommend staying at this villa.”— Natasha - Casa Verde July 2025
“Beautiful, clean, kitted out villa in the middle of Vilamoura. Stones throw from the golf courses and a less than 5 uber to the marina and beach. We had the best time there and would 100% recommend. Pool table and ping pong table were a great addition and the host even bought us a few crates of beer to apologise for the sandy lawn that they’re repairing. Not a bad word to say. Big thanks to Dan for having us.”— Oliver - Casa Verde April 2025
“Great week in wonderful villa. Best selection of kitchenware, crockery and glasses we have ever had! Heated pool and hot tub were a real bonus. Fab week and will definitely be back!”— Lucie - Casa Verde December 2024
“We had a great time at this villa. Catered our needs really enjoyed the heated pool and jacuzzi. It was a great location in terms of getting to the marina and the surrounding golf courses. Dan was an excellent host and very efficient with all my replies and queries”

“We were a party of 9, from ages 17-56. We had a wonderful stay at casa Oakdene. Couldn’t fault the property and location. Having en suites to all bedrooms was fantastic, rooms were spacious and beds extremely comfortable. Living areas also very spacious. Outdoor areas were fabulous, plenty of sun and shade if needed. Also having pool towels included was brilliant, less items to pack. Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely book again. Thank you so much”
— Louisa - Casa Oakdene August 2024
“Fantastic stay, at this gorgeous well located property, with friends . We were a party of 7 and there was more than enough room for us all. The villa is well maintained with lots of nice touches. The pool is a good size and the garden furniture is nice quality and great for relaxing. The contact with the owner was great with good recommendations given. Would highly recommend.”
— Erica - Casa Oakdene August 2024
“Communication and helpfulness from the host was fantastic. Dan was very accommodating with early check in and late check out - this was very much appreciated when travelling with infants. Villa was a great location and enjoyable walk to marina, but if needed Ubers were only a 7 minute trip. We were there as a group of friends for a wedding and the wedding venue was in the old village , again only minutes away by foot. We stay in villas regularly, and this villa stood out with great customer support from the host and a very well looked after property. Villa was well equipped and had everything we needed. The surroundings and exterior parts of the villa were beautiful! Would absolutely return, thank you so much for a memorable stay.”
— Lisa - Casa Oakdene June 2024
“The villa was great we had the pool and hot tub included. Lots of towels provided! The pool was warm and we used it throughout our stay. Since it was January all the restaurants in old town were closed. The bar and convenience store were open. Also the little tourist train was not running but we had a rental car and used the taxi service recommended by the owner. The Marina has lots of restaurants and Quarteria beach as well. Boat tours were limited in January but we had a wonderful tour that left from the Marina. The owner has gone the extra mile to have Netflix and English Channel. The wifi is great ! Continente is a large supermarket grocery store with everything you need. Coming from Canada we are used to a gas barbeque which is not provided. However there is a large outdoor grill that takes charcoal. Everything worked heaters ovens dishwasher etc. and the owner has a top notch company looking after his property for any issues. They respond immediately. I would definitely return and recommend this as a wonderful place to stay!”

“This was our first visit to Portugal. We were pleasantly surprised how beautiful this quaint village of Vilamoura was. With this rental property just a short walk down a cobblestone road to cafes, restaurants, and a grocery store. Upon arrival to a manicured property in a quiet, safe neighborhood. This property it self was very clean, spacious and had all the amenities. With 4 couples having their own spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Beautiful backyard space over looking the golf course with a pool, hot tub and dining area which was enjoyed after a day out venturing the surrounding countryside. This area was also a short walk to a beautiful marina with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops. The owner and property management team were always very prompt with any questions or issues that may arise. We would love to return to Portugal, and would not hesitate on returning to this property. Thank you so much for this fantastic stay at your home.”

“We stayed 3 weeks in January and found the house extremely comfortable for our family. We had small children with us and the house was set up for young kids, easy access (no stairs) to the backyard, they provided a crib, high chair, baby gates on the stairs and pool safety fence. The kids loved the soccer net as well. The house was clean and very well stocked if you want to cook for yourself. We were a family with small children, but this house is also set up to accommodate a larger group and would be fun for a group of adults as well. Lots of pool loungers and wine glasses!! We would definitely recommend this property.”
— Kristie - Casa Laranjal January 2023
“This Is a lovely 4 bed villa located in a quiet area. The villa is fully equipped with everything you would need on a self catering stay. Furnished nicely with 4 large bedrooms. Air con throughout which we needed for July. Good sized pool with garden facing onto golf course. The location is great with a short walk to the old village (5 mins) where there is a small selection of bars and restaurants which we used frequently. For more variety the Marina is superb. We ate here numerous times and agree Luna Rosa Italian is excellent. The marina is a good 20 minute walk which was fine but is a little far in the heat of the day. We used a few taxis which were quite reasonably priced. Overall would recommend this villa to anyone who likes quality accommodation in a quiet location but close to full range of amenities and activities. Only one small issue - pool seems to be missing a couple of umbrella's which would have helped find outside shade. With five people sharing 2 this was the only negative on a fantastic holiday.”
— Matt - Casa Laranjal July 2022
“Casa Verde is a great getaway for a group of friends. Perfectly located in a quiet neighbourhood near the golf course and a short drive to the marina. The property was extremely clean upon arrival and Dan was great in managing any requests we had. Would 100% recommend and definitely return!”
— Liam - Casa Verde May 2024
