8/10
The property was as described, well maintained and with a great view and good value. We had a great time. What I did not like was the check-in process. I travelled 6000 miles to come to the Algarve and be told that instructIons would be emailed to me just prior to the official check-in time, assuming that I even had local mobile data service. On top of that the address sent could not be found on Google Maps and I wound up driving up and down narrow and hilly roads until they deemed to send me the specific GPS locationThe accommodation was described as Townhouse Mar 1 and when I arrived at the complex there was nothing there described as such and a mystery to the available residents that I talked to. The information referred to a Lockbox at the door so I walked around and checked out all of the doors that had a lockbox and tried using the combo that was given so it was through the process, Townhouse labelled X. Would have been nice if they told me upfront.We have used VBRO/ Homeaway all of the world and never encountered this type of situation, subsequently we discover that our “ Owner” is Vacation Algarve who manages 300 properties in the region, not used to dealing with this type o group on VRBO
