Located near the Estoi, this house has an ideal location for those seeking a relaxing holiday, rural environment, as well as being close to amenities.Enjoy a comfortable stay at our beautiful vacation villa in Estoi, Portugal, is an ideal getaway for you. This four bedroom retreat is perfect to sleep up to eight. The bedrooms have double beds and twin bed. If you love to cook your own meals, you will find the fully equipped kitchen matching up to your requirements.
In general I could spend a few days in the house, I will not repeat this experience.
The television is broken, and the owner knew and did not change, in the room there is an opening to the outside that has an iron net which makes the room very cold at night. It has no gate to the outside, so security is jeopardized because the windows can not lock and the door of the street can not close inside.
As described, spacious and functional. Ideal base from which to explore or, you can just laze around the pool.
We had a fab stay, looking to go back next year.
We didnât want to leave . Weather was fab it was our first time in Portugal
Definitely return
Suggestions
Could use a pizza tray and pizza cutting wheel. Also, an Airer would be beneficial.
An excellent spacious villa in a quiet location whilst being walking distance to the village of Estoi which has a few great value restaurants and a number of cafe/snack bars. Only 15min drive to Olhao and Faro. Would recommend the pool heating this time of year. Would definitely return.
This was my first time renting a villa and I was quite happy. As soon as we arrived at the house the owner was there to greet me and my family and suggested areas around the villa that was worth exploring. I would 100% rent this villa again.
We had a lovely week at Maryanneâs villa. So handy for the airport and the fishing port of OlhĂŁo where we spent many evenings having a drink / meal on the front. The pool was amazing, the boys had hours of fun in there.The villa is a good size and has everything you can ask for. The pool table was also a hit with matches going on late into the evening. We wandered into the village of Estoi where we walked around the palace and had a quick drink in the cafe by the church, very reasonable and menu looked good. All in all a wonderful holiday, 10/10.
We had a great fortnight here, lovely weather, ideal location for many of the Algarve's attractions. The kids loved the pool, and we all enjoyed the nightly pool table competitions.
Highly recommended!
La casa esta bien equipada pero no lo suficiente para albergar con comodidad al total de su capacidad . El salon es grande y tiene una mesa de billar que esta muy bien, pero quita espacio y solo pueden sentarse comodamente 5 personas en los sofas, asi como la cocina donde la capacidad maxima de personas a la mesa es de 6. Por lo demas tiene de todo en la cocina y habitaciones , solo nos fallaba el aire acondicionado del salon. Espero que lo solucionen.La piscina es un acierto y se agradece con el calor
Afgelopen februari 2017 een weekje in deze woning geweest. Een hele mooie ruime woning. Tijdens deze week was het weer wat wisselvalig maar met een zonnetje werd het al gauw behoorlijk warm. Verwarmd zwembad was een zeer aanbevellingswaardige optie. Om zwembad te laten verwarmen moet er wel bijbetaald worden maar zeker de moeite waard. In februari is het in de avond wel wat koud maar met een open haard en airco die ook op warm kan was het al heel snel prima te doen. En dan de omgeving. Werkelijk fantastische kust in vooral de buurt van Lagos en Portimao. Onze kinderen hebben zich (en wij ook) heel fijn met bakjes en zandschepjes vermaakt. Eigenlijk geen minpuntjes behalve dat je wel rekening moet houden met weinig spullen voor kinderen en dat je zelfs afvalzakken zelf even moet halen maar verder complete huis met alle toebehoren! We gaan zeker weer eens terug.
We had a lovely holiday in Maryanna's beautiful villa with just a 5 min walk frm nearest coffe shop.There was everything you could possibly want or need,the kitchen was fully equipped.Heating in every room plus fire place in living room,very comfortable beds and lots of space.Good quiet rural retreat.15 min by car to Olhao.
We spend great time. Villa was beautiful and clean, everything that was needed for living was there. Owners of the villa very lovely people, very helpful. I give it 5 stars with no doubt!
This is our third time staying at Maryanne's villa but am only getting around to writing review!!!!!! On all three stays we have had a great holiday. We are a family of two adults and three children and usually have another few people staying over the duration of our two weeks. The villa is lovely. A very good size and well equipped with everything you would need for your holiday. Maryanne and her family are very friendly and helpful but only if you need them, they do not intrude on your holiday at all. Estoi is a nice village and within walking distance of the house. It has all the basics but you would need a car to get to beaches, larger supermarkets and restaurants. All of these are within a short drive of Estoi. We love this place and hope to visit again in 2016. Orla (Ireland)
Maryanne was very lovely! The DVDS player wasn't working and she gave us one from her own home immediately. She was close by for any questions. The villa was very clean and had everything we needed. The area was very quiet and a short walk into the village for small shops and cafes/bars and a quick drive back to Faro for bigger store. Great value for the money!
Villa Casa Ornella is set in a quiet rural location on the Estoi - Olhao road. The village of Estoi is a 5-10 minute walk with a few Cafe's serving light meals, 2 mini supermarkets and a butchers. Cash points are also available in the village.
The Villa itself is well maintained with a good sized pool which if not heated was 26 deg in July. The 3/4 size pool table was also lots of fun.
The villa owners are very friendly and helpful; they were not obtrusive during our stay despite living only a few metres away from the property.
We would recommend a car if staying here as the bus stop is a 15-20 minute walk and takes you to Faro (25 minutes) where you make all other connections to other locations in the Algarve. The beaches are beautiful but are at least 25 minutes to the nearest one by car. Most beaches near to Faro are only accessible by ferry.
All in all we had a very relaxing and pleasant stay and would recommend staying at Villa Casa Ornella if you're looking for a quiet relaxing break.
The villa was one of the best we have stayed in because of the location and good size pool. We walked to the local bars and staying in Estoi gives you a real feel and understanding of Portuguese life. Maryanne, the owner, was on hand if we needed her, as she lives next door, although Maryanne respected our privacy.
Fantastic villa for all the family. There were eight of us staying for a fortnight and everything we needed was provided. Four adults, two teenagers and two children all had a fantastic holiday though a car is a must if you want to see more of the Algarve.
Maryanne was very helpful, especially when we needed to get to a hospital within a few hours of arriving. She took the 'casualty' in her own car to Faro and waited 4 hours with him ... Could not expect anything better.
Having the swimming pool was great. Two grandchildren taught to swim in two weeks!
The walk into Estoi is not too taxing and there are two small supermarkets and butcher that all speak English so shopping is no problem. There is a small variety of other shops though going to Sao Bras de Alportal lets you shop at a Lidl supermarket which is only about 10mins by car.
All in all well worth the money and highly recommended. Our thanks to Maryanne and her family for a great time.

Thankyou Maryann and family for looking after us all so well. We had a lovely time, despite my husbands mishap on our arrival, ( stupid boy!) Everything was perfect and we have started saving to come back in a year or two. Loved the festival on our last day. Hope to see more of the beautiful horses next year. Thanks again
Wendy and Darren and kids.
The villa advertised as "Villa with private pool heating" suggests the pool is heatable, which appeared not to be so. The owners only have the intention to make the pool heatable.
In the bathrooms, close to the toilets, there is an important notice with the following contents: "The plumbing system in Portugal is not of the same standard of the UK. To avoid blockage please do not dispose of any toilet paper or tampons down toilet. Please use the bin provides. Thank you."
It would have been appropriate if we were informed about this in advance.
