I and a group of friends rented this stunning property for my 60th birthday celebration. It was everything I could have wished for and more. Marc was a fantastic host, was around in the background but totally non-intrusive.
The place was clean, really well equipped with 2 stoves, 4 fridges and ample plates and kitchen equipment and totally private
Thank you marc for a memorable trip!!
The house of Marc is fantastic!
Perfect for big groups, each one can have his own space.
I could make my 30s there and it was just perfect. Thank you again Marc, we had such a great moment in your place.
Mitte September verbrachten wir mit 25 Personen eine unvergessliche Woche im tollen Fazendinha Landhaus von Marc.
Es war von Anfang an klar, dass es wohl kaum einen besseren Ort in der Algarve gibt, um mit einer groĂen Gruppe eine tolle Zeit zu verbringen.
Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war sehr angenehm und sowohl auf deutsch, als auch auf englisch jederzeit sympathisch und freundlich.
Besonders hervorzuheben ist die unglaubliche Hilfsbereitschaft, das Engagement und Entgegenkommen das Marc vor, wÀhrend und sogar nach dem Aufenthalt an den Tag gelegt hat.
Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und die Unterkunft lieĂ keine WĂŒnsche unserer GĂ€ste im Alter von 1 bis 88 Jahren offen.
Die AtmosphĂ€re in und um das Haus ist einfach faszinierend und lĂ€sst sich nur schwer in Worte fassen. Bleibende EindrĂŒcke und besondere Highlights waren: Cookie die Hausdame, der wunderschön angelegte Garten, die Aussichtsplattform auf dem Berg hinter dem Haus und natĂŒrlich der groĂe Pool, die stilvolle Ausstattung mit Liebe zum Detail und die ĂŒberaus praktische Aufteilung des gesamten GelĂ€ndes und der einzelnen Zimmer.
Alle GÀste waren ausnahmslos begeistert und somit bleibt uns nur zu VIELEN DANK zu sagen und uns auf das nÀchste mal zu freuen!
Mit den allerbesten GrĂŒĂen,
Kathi und Carl
Weâve just returned from staying at Fazendinha. What a lovely peaceful place with everything you need to hand. We were a family group of 20, a mix of adults and kids. We loved to barbeque in the evenings after the kids had fun in the pool all day. The Accomadation comprised of different size family rooms was absolutely ideal for our group. Loved it, hope to return many thanks Marc!
Marc's place is a perfect place for large family groups to stay. Each room is different, but all have en-suite and their own private terrace and table and chairs. The pool area is amazing - areas to sunbathe, sit in the shade, chill out, eat, bbq....and the setting amongst orange groves and the river valley was very beautiful. We had young kids and older teenagers, as well as senior folks, and everyone was comfortable and had a great time.
The property was ideal for a party of 16 (10 kids and 6 adults). Great location and plenty If space
Excellent stay, great location for 3 families with 10 kids and 6 adults. The property was ideal with various areas for all to enjoy. The pool was great and the bbq facilities were perfect. Great location near tavera and other beaches. Very clean and easy to deal with the owner. Highly recommended!
The villa was the perfect place for a group holiday. Surrounded by the most beautiful gardens.
The villa was great. Lovely pool area and well equipped. Perfect for a group holiday. Only a short drive into tavira. Cookie the dog was a lovely addition to our stay. Marc was very helpful in helping us with things to do in the local area. Fans in all rooms would be a bonus, some rooms were quite hot at night.
Marcâs place is enormous and has everything youâll need if travelling in a big group. Thereâs loads of rooms of different size and bed combos, a huge communal area and an amazing pool / barbecue area. Itâs well kept, clean and has everything youâll need. Marc is incredibly helpful and on hand should you have any questions. Itâs about a 10 min drive from town / supermarkets. Would certainly visit again.
Eine groĂartige Unterkunft fĂŒr Quality Time in groĂen und kleinen Gruppen
Die Unterkunft ist perfekt geeignet, um abzuschalten und die Zeit mit Freunden oder der Familie zu genieĂen. Wir waren 20 Freunde und hatten die gesamte Unterkunft fĂŒr uns. Dank Pool, Gemeinschaftsraum, groĂer KĂŒche, Barbecuemöglichkeiten und vielen Sitzmöglichkeiten drauĂen, war die Unterkunft wie fĂŒr uns gemacht. Marc ist ein sympathischer und entspannter Gastgeber, was alles abgerundet hat. Vielen Dank noch mal!
We have just returned from an amazing group holiday (10 adults 11 children) at Fazendinha. We loved the balance of a quiet location within easy reach (15 minutes) of gorgeous beaches and water parks within an 1 hour for the kids young and old !! Fazendinha is perfect for large groups with lots of shared communal space as well comfortably sized bedrooms. The pool area and outside BBQ area are fantastic and the villa gardens and landscape around it are beautiful. A real escape. We would love to return.
Only request would be fans in all rooms (no air conditioning so nights were uncomfortable at times) and plenty of mozzie repellant!!
We've just returned from a wonderful 4 nights family reunion at the Fazendinha Guesthouse. Having booked the entire place, we've had access to all the rooms, and found them all to be very pretty, authentic Portuguese, and decorated with a lot of care and to a high, solid standard, that I wouldn't be able to pick one over others. Each room has it's own patio, and there is also a large number of other outdoor seating areas around the property, all kitted with comfy garden or pool furniture, available to all the guests. That, combined with the huge living/dining room meant that at no point did any part of the indoors or outdoors space feel crammed or busy, and we were 20+ strong, including 8 children. The gardens are gorgeous and beautifully kept. Marc the host was so very kind, friendly, calm and generous, which must be why everything about Fazendinha feels positive and relaxed. Places like this stay in one's heart, which is why we recommend it wholeheartedly, and will happily visit again ourselves.
La estancia fue estupenda. Los apartamentos eran preciosos y pudimos tener cada pareja el suyo y hubo habitaciones para los hijos mayores.
La casa central estaba muy bien equipada y las zonas comunes de piscina, porche y barbacoa eran una pasada!.
Todo estuvo fenomenal.
I wanted to celebrate my 30th birthday in portugal and Marc made it happen.
THANKS A LOT one more time.
the house is beautiful, clean and cozy. a perfect place to staz if u arrive with a big group but still wants to have a little bit private time. as everz room has thier own bathroom everzone can decide when to be with the group and when to stay by himself. Marc assists us with everzthing, food information, adresses, service, flowers and coockie (the house dog - who was alwazy looking after us :)
the team is super nice, thez made the cleaning very early in the morning - so u never really realised people being there - I really liked this so we had a verz private feeling with all my guest. Though I could reach Marc whenever I wanted and needed.
I am looking forward to spend more time there - I hope there will be a reason to come back.
totally recomend this to everyone!
best, T.
Alles SUPER !!! Marc ist ein sehr netter unkomplizierter Gastgeber. Wir waren mit 3 Familien (je 2 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder) dort und es war einfach nur KLASSE !! Alle sind total begeistert gewesen.
Diese Unterkunft werden wir jederzeit wieder buchen. Vielen Dank, dass wir den Aufenthalt genieĂen durften.
We were a family group of 14 people including adults and children. Most of the group were from Portugal and some came from England. We found out about Fazendinha through home and away website and we then went to visit in person in June before we booked. We met Mark in June who showed us around and was really friendly so we booked our week for July. We were there for a week in July and i have to say it was really relaxing. We had 4 of the rooms and there was more than enough space for everyone. We were really lucky to get really nice weather and temp of 30+ degrees everyday. The kids all enjoyed the pool area. There was a large pool which the older kids loved and even a small pool for smaller children which was a hit with the younger ones. The water was always a really good temp even for some evening swimming. By the pool you have two BBQs which we used twice and we had two very nice dinners which usually lasted until 1-2am as the atmosphere was just perfect. The outdoor areas are really well looked after and make you feel very relaxed walking round. There was a common living room with a tv with sky tv, a basket with lego toys for the little ones and a ping pong table which the kids spent alot of time using and having fun. There was a common kitchen which had all that you needed for self catering. The Fazendinha is only 10mins by car from taviras town centre where we went in the evening for ice creams and to see the little fair. The best near by beaches we recommend as we are familiar with the area are cancela velha, cabanas and manta rota. The beaches are nice and the water is amazing, all around a 20-30mins drive from Fazendinha but worth going for the day. Fazendinha is also close to some local activities we went to try stand up paddle in cabanas in the Ria and we did a horse ride hack in tavira in the countryside. Mark the owner and host was very accommodating and extremely friendly and helpful. Being dog lovers we couldn't forget to mention his dog cookie who was so nice to all of us and the kids loved to cuddle her. We only left today but are all already missing Fazendinha. We highly recommend it if you wish to have a relaxing, fun holiday. â±
24 of us stayed here from Canada and we had an amazing time. We were six families in total and Fazendinha was perfect for our needs. When we arrived, we asked Mark where we could buy groceries. He offered to show us the places where we could do that in town and so we had a small car convoy following him around town as he pointed things out to us. He Was so helpful. He graciously answered any questions we had and helped out in anyway we needed.
The grounds themselves were absolutely lovely, the beds comfortable, and the bathrooms were quite pretty. We made good use of the kitchen and the outside barbecue. The kitchen is very well-equipped and we had everything we needed. We appreciated getting fresh eggs every morning from the chickens on site.
The pool was well-maintained and someone seem to be cleaning the grounds every day.
We would all go back in a heartbeat. Each of us kept telling the other how amazing it was and how perfectly suited to us.
Der Mailverkehr vorab war etwas schleppend was wohl am Urlaub vom Vermieter Marc lag. Im Endeffekt hat aber alles funktioniert.
Am Haus angekommen wurden uns ( Gruppe von 15 MĂ€nnern ) sofort die Zimmer zugeteilt. Schnell und unkompliziert. Die Zimmer sind von ganz unterschiedlicher GröĂe aber alle ordentlich ausgestattet und sauber. Kein Luxis aber vollkommen ausreichend fĂŒr unseren Aufenthalt. Die Fazendinha liegt wunderschön gelegen neben einem FluĂ, viel GrĂŒn in der Umgebung und auch die Anlage an sich ist gepflegt und wunderbar pflanzenreich mit Orangen- und ZitronenbĂ€umen. Der Aufenthaltsraum samt KĂŒche ist fĂŒr alle zugĂ€nglich und gepflegt. Die KĂŒche ist bestens ausgestattet. Kleiner Wehrmutstropfen war das wir entgegen Marcs Zusicherung die Unterkunft nicht fĂŒr uns alleine hatten. Bei 15 MĂ€nnern auf einer Mannschaftsfahrt ist es nunmal lauter, jedoch kamen wir mit den GĂ€sten die wir gesehen haben sehr gut klar. Das man auf einer Mannschaftsfahrt 3 Tage lang Alkohol trinkt und dabei lauter ist, ist fĂŒr uns normal. FĂŒr Marc war es das scheinbar nicht ganz und er Ă€uĂerte Zweifel am richtigen Lebensweg. Ich kann Dir versichern Marc das am Montag alle wieder ihren Berufen als Lehrer, Anwalt...nachgegangen sind ;-).
Das war etwas unnötig aber im GroĂen und Ganzen muss man sagen das Marc ein sehr netter, entspannter Vermieter ist der uns die 3 Tage lang weitestgehend machen lieĂ und wahrscheinlich ein bisschen Sorge hatte wegen der anderen GĂ€ste.
Wir hoffen das wir die schöne Fazendhina gut behandelt haben. Um MissverstÀndnissen vorzubeugen sollten solche Gruppen vielleicht vorher genau sagen was sie dort vorhaben!
Wir haben ĂŒbrigens auch den Wasserfall in der NĂ€he besucht. Pego do Inferno. Der Wasserfall war da. Der Weg dahin fĂŒhrt durch das, an dem Tag, gut gefĂŒllte Flussbett und ist deswegen vielleicht ein wenig beschwerlich und nicht ganz einfach zu finden. Aber es ist abenteuerlich und man wird mehr als belohnt wenn man da ist. Der Strand ist im ĂŒbrigen ebenfalls sehr schön!
Alles in allem waren es super Tage in Tavira auf der schönen Fazendinha. Wenn Marc noch mal will kommen wir vielleicht noch mal wieder ;-).
Alles Gute weiterhin und bucht ruhig hier euren Urlaub!
Lieben GruĂ
Marcel
Ons verblijf in Fazendinha was werkelijk geweldig.. Vakantie gevierd met onze hele familie en genoten van het werkelijk prachtige huis en heerlijke zwembad. Iedere avond heerlijk buiten gegeten met heerlijke verse visjes op de bbq.. Locatie top!
Marc een geweldige gastheer en zeer behulpzaam. Aanrader voor grote groepen!
