The house was amazing. The pool, hot tub & sauna made it feel like you were at your own private resort surrounded by beautiful landscaping up on the hill with views of the water. The putting green was incredible. So much to do at the house, but in a perfect location to get away to hike the 7 mile cliff trail, less than a mile from the house down the hill. Absolutely beautiful views - wild flowers everywhere & a large fort ruin at the top of the hill and the incredible Burgau beach below. It felt like a private beach as we were the only ones there. Burgau is such a special place. The food was amazing at every restaurant we went to & the people were incredibly friendly. We hiked, surfed, played gold, chartered a boat for a day touring the caves & remote beaches and explored Sagres and Lagos. Burgau is tucked just between the two so the house is in an ideal location. David was incredibly helpful in ensuring we had a wonderful stay.We are definitely coming back.
The exterior of this property is what makes it so amazing. The garden is immaculately kept and the pool area is beautiful. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the amazing weather and playing wiffle ball and table tennis. The interior is a bit dated and some of the patio furniture could use a refresh, but the location, amount of space and privacy made it well worth it. The hot tub is very small, but overall this place is amazing and we would definitely come back.
This was best holiday weâve had and made even better as the villa was out of this world. It was so spacious and worked well for us and our adult children. Before arriving David was very responsive to emails and Nuno was helpful for anything we needed when we weee there. The pool was great and having it heated meant we used it a lot. The men really enjoyed the putting green. We would love to come back
House was so much better and nicer than we expected from the pictures. Huge, large bedrooms each with own large bathroom. Recent upgrade was noticable.
Would definitely return.
We would just like to thank David and Nuno for making our long awaited holiday so amazing. The villa is outstanding. For our family group of 7 it was perfect. The layout of the villa meant they we had plenty of communal space but also private space when and if needed. The views were spectacular and the swimming pool the focal point of our holiday! Keeping adults and teenagers amused for hours. Would highly recommend this villa and location for a memorable holiday. We look forward to returning next year! Thank you
This lovely, spacious villa suited our two families (4 adults, 4 children) perfectly. The children spent hours in the heated pool and the jacuzzi was an added bonus. Nuno gave us a warm welcome with fresh bread, snacks and wine and was helpful throughout our stay. Great location, more sheltered than others places we have stayed in over the years. Loved it.
We had a lovely week at the villa. It had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. The pool area, with a jacuzzi and table tennis table , were very popular! I would definitely return to this villa.
We had an amazing time in this villa. The cool Atlantic winds made the heat bearable even in mid July.
The pool area is perfect for both swimming and relaxing and suitable for the whole family. The big balcony and its views is awesome for eating any time of the day. And the umbrella makes its possible even during hot hours.
Initially we had some trouble with the AC in one of the bedrooms but it was fixed after a few days. Nuno was very helpful.
Our first visit to the west Algarve will certainly become a second.
Beautiful home, every bedroom and bathroom was large and well furnished. The kitchen was well equipped. There was a better view of the ocean than we had expected. The pool and hot tub were very clean . We had them both heated, the hot tub could have been a little warmer. Overall a great place with lots to do at the house. I would rent it again if we were in the area.
We had a great time staying at David's villa. The villa is very well kitted out in a very large plot. The house manager Nuno looked after us very well and was very attentive.
The villa is beautiful and the location although slightly remote is not overly far from anywhere in the Algarve. You need a vehicle in this area to truly appreciate the remote villages, beaches etc. We also traveled to Lagos and Travira during our brief stay. We also quite enjoyed the pool and hot tub after a day of sightseeing.
The only downside with the property is the extremely poor internet and TV connection.
We truly had an amazing time at David and Carol's house, we just came back to NYC and we already miss it very much.
Not only the house was super clean and very comfortable, but its geographic location right between Lagos + Luz on one side and Sagres + the most amazing coastline on the other side was just perfect!!! Not to mention Nuno, our property manager who helped figure out babysitters, boat trips, etc...we will be back!!!!
Large beautiful house near beautiful beaches and little towns
We had an amazing stay in this beautiful villa. Paying extra to heat the pool in October was well worth it. Plenty of extras to entertain four children ranging from 5-14 and adults! Iâve only given it four stars as there are a few things that need a little bit of tlc. The villa was everything we needed for an October sunshine break. Thank you
Wir waren 6 Erwachsene und verbrachten eine Woche in dem Haus. Die Schlaf und WohnrĂ€ume sind sehr gut aufgeteilt und jeder Bereich hat auch einen eigenen Balkon , also genug RĂŒckzugsmöglichkeiten. Die Terrasse mit Pool ist besonders groĂzĂŒgig und mit einem zusĂ€tzlichen Tischtennistisch ein herrlicher Ort fĂŒr Entspannung, Sport und Spiel. Die Lage des Hauses ermöglicht in kurzer Zeit beide KĂŒsten zu erreichen welche sehr unterschiedlich und besonders schön sind.
Eine kleine EinschrĂ€nkung, die Möblierung/ Stoffe des Aussenbereichs benötigen eindeutig ein "Upgrade". Weiters ist das Reinigungsteam, speziell was die KĂŒche betrifft, nicht so ambitioniert gewesen.
Just returned from a wonderful fortnight- villa was fantastic! So much space for us all to spread out and the lovely grounds really added to a truly relaxing holiday. We spent lots of days playing in the pool and relaxing in the jacuzzi. Also explored the local area, beaches were beautiful (if a little windy!) and walked into both Burgau and Salema along the coastal path. Visited the Slide and Splash water park which was a great day out. We had a wonderful meal at the beach bar which was very good food and a really friendly atmosphere. All in all very highly recommended.

Superb villa -what you see is what you get.
Our extended family including a toddler,children aged 7 and 10,three adults and three senior citizens have just returned from a weeks stay in this lovely villa and every one of us loved it.Nuno and Cheryl were very helpful and when something went wrong (a drain problem) it was dealt with immediately and professionally.
The layout of the villa is ideal if like us however much you love your family you also appreciate a rest from them!The children loved the TVs and PlayStation in their room for example and the adults loved the views and balconies.The toddler loved everything and all but one old fogey loved the pool though we chose not to have it heated in July.
A car is needed but everything you could wish for is within a 5-20 minute drive away.
We are family with 3 Children (Now adults) who have grown up using the Villa for Holidays. We live in Ireland and love coming to the Western Algarve when ever we get time.
After renting a property in 2008 in this specific area area we fell in love with the Western Algarve which is unique and so different to the other areas of the Algarve. We had stayed in many areas in the Algarve previously but this is a unique and beautiful area. We are on the edge of the national park located beside the beautiful villages of Burgau and Salema but close to Lagos and the motorway so access to everything is close by.
Walking up to the stunning view and wildlife and going early in the morning to the local bakery in Burgau to get fresh bread for breakfast or the excellent range of quality food and facilities This is just some of to many unique benefits of the villa and its location.
