We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.The house feels as if it was renovated in the 1970s and has a traditional feel to it. Having said that, it is clean and well maintained. The lounge is on the small side with insufficient seating for 6 people.The outside space is the best part of the property. The pool gets the sun for most of the day and there are plenty of sunny and shady places to sit. The pool is deep even in the shallow end which is something to bear in mind if you are with young children. The outside dining area is pleasant place to enjoy a meal.
Pool area is what makes this property! Pool is really big and amazing, sunbeds comfy, table and chairs well shaded. We spent most of our time out there! The house is VERY traditional, saying that it has everything you could possibly need, very well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, decent showers, space, clean and lots of towels and linen provided. Location was good, but would recommend a car. It was pretty much 20mins drive to anywhere you wanted to go. Steep hill walk into local village but not loads there. Quiet and rural location. We had a very quiet and relaxed holiday. Lidl and aldi 5 mins drive. Communication from Sheila was great about the booking, i found the guy dealing with us when we were there slightly rude but could be a language barrier.
Absolutely gorgeous rustic and spacious villa with everything you could need. The beautiful garden and large pool really make this villa. Well maintained and communication was excellent. Definitely need a car but fantastic base point for seeing the Algarve. 100% recommend.
Highly recommended! Everything is as described, worked perfectly and great communication throughout. We had a wonderful 2 week holiday in this quality property.
We had a wonderful time at the villa. Everything is kept very clean, the pool is large and well-maintained. We often grilled outside, and the kids could play as much as they wanted. There is a cleaning service after one week, which is very convenient. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of utensils and dishes, so you donât have to wash everything after each snack. All in all, we had a beautiful vacation with lots of Portuguese flair.
We stayed for 12 nights at this beautiful villa!
The pool was a big hit for our children (5yrs and 8ys)
Our youngest learnt to swim independently during this holiday which is a very special memory!
We enjoyed dinners on the patio and star gazing in the evening, we saw lots of shooting stars! Our little ones loved the lizards that would visit in the evening, they even named them. The air con in each room was great! Also having a washing machine was a bonus as Iâve come home with no washing to do.
Check in with Remco was great, he was very informative of the villa and the local area. If you had any queries you could message him directly.
We had a mid stay clean (bed linen and towels) pool man came a few times during our trip which was great!
It is advisable to have a hire car when staying here as you are far out from transport links.
We hired a car and loved the freedom to explore the local areas.
Everyone is so friendly in Portugal we were made very welcome.
There is a local Aldi and Lidl 5 min drive away which was super convenient.
We would recommend this villa, we have made lifelong memories and miss our daily routines already!
Thank-you for allowing us to stay x
Lovely rustic villa with a beautiful garden/pool.
Communication from the owner and the property manager was excellent.
Had a minor issue with the a/c one day and Remco was out and fixed it promptly. Property has everything you need, and was well maintained.
We had a great holiday and it is a good base to explore the area. You do need a car and some roads are narrow around the area so it may not be for everyone driving on those roads, but we found the driving fine once used to it and the locals friendly and welcoming. Great beaches and lots of nice restaurants in the region.
Die Betreuung durch Remco war auĂerordentlich gut. Die Unterkunft war in allen Bereichen funktionell und sehr gemĂŒtlich. Besonders der riesige Pool, der sehr gepflegt ist , hat uns gut gefallen
We had such a lovely holiday staying in this villa. It was our first family holiday as a family of four (children aged 1 and 5) and without a doubt one that will have long lasting happy memories. The pool was great and our son spent most of the day splashing around in it. The villa is beautiful, in a lovely location which feels peaceful and secluded.
The beaches nearby were busy (as expected over August) but gorgeous. Perfect waves for gentle body boarding and lots of restaurants nearby to make a great day out.
All communication with Sheila/ Hilary and Remco were answered promptly and lots of helpful useful information available.
We're hoping to book again for next year.
The location & facilities were perfect for our needs.
Remco was very informative about the villa.
The 2 granddaughters turned into mermaids, with Mum & Dad , and the grandparents in support. Plenty to see in the area, and 3 good restaurants in the village.
My husband and I bought a plot in 1981 with a small building (a ruin really) set on a hillside overlooking the Algarvian coast. Gradually we renovated, expanded and improved but kept the character of the original stone building and roof. The location is fantastic! Real Algarve, tranquil, almond orchards, winding lanes, village close by with bank, pharmacy and some good restaurants. Yet Vilamoura and Albufeira are only a 10/15 minute drive with beautiful beaches, golf courses and marinas. We've enjoyed many family holidays here over the years and hope we've created a home from home for your relaxing holiday.
Glorious rest and relaxation. Sometimes a shepherd grazes his sheep in the orchard in front. The garden is child friendly and the villa has a fenced pool.
