10/10
Having just returned from Villa Matias Gale for my wife's 40th birthday celebrations it's difficult to summarise how good our experience was. We were a group of 5 adults and 2 children of 5&7. The accommodation is exactly as listed. Very spacious for that size group with plenty of different areas for relaxing that we never felt under each others feet. Everything is finished to such a tasteful, unique and high standard. Beds were extremely comfy and all bedrooms a great size. Views from the (huge) balcony looking out at the sea on an evening as the sunset were truly amazing. Pool was absolutely brilliant. My 2 girls must have spent at least 3 hours a day in there and would have spent even longer if we hadn't been dragging them to 1 of the many amazing beaches all the time. The pool cover really does work well and even in late May the temperature was perfectly fine for me to stay in the pool for up to 2 hours sometimes. The beaches (for me) are really where this area of the Algarve excels. If long stretches of unbroken sand & sea is your thing you're well covered with a 10 minute stroll to Praia da Gale. It's the smaller beaches that we love though which are also just 5-10 minutes stroll away. Where this Villa stands head and shoulders above most places we have ever visited though is the hosts. They are simply exceptional. From 1st contact, sending the guide book through before we arrived, providing food for us as we arrived late, recommendations & 5* communication.
