The house was perfect for us. We are a family of 4 with two teenagers. It was the first time we rented a villa with its own pool and it makes it so easy, as all can have their own activities (e.g. paddling or reading) but still be together. We ate all meals outside, including a good numbers of barbecues. It was also great that we could use the pool when we wanted to.

Even though the pool is quite small, we all had great fun in it.

The house itself is perfect for a family of 4: enough space to prepare simple dinners and to stock food for the week. The two bathrooms made it easy. The bedrooms were a good size and have plenty of storage space.

It only takes just over 10 mins to walk to the centre of the resort, which suited us. There is one small supermarket in Pedras Da Rainha and a spar in the main part of the village.

Restaurants are good there. Trip Advisor have a good selection. Our favourite was Sabores da Ria (the restaurant is great, the tapas bar not quite as good).

Activities in Cabanas are quite varied: cheap boat crossing to get to a very beautiful beach, longer boat trips, kayak hire, cycle hire.

Tavira is a very nice town to visit.

When we went, the weather was quite windy, but we don't know if that is always the case.

Supermarkets we used were Continente in Faro on arrival and Continente in Tavira in a very modern shopping centre.

All in all, a very pleasurable stay.
