The villa has everything you need. Great outdoor space. 3 big bathrooms (2 en-suite) and a great living area. Feels very safe but the area is very safe.If you are looking for a quiet relaxing stay in a rural village this is for you.
We had a very relaxing stay here. The house was beautiful, comfortable and cool and the children loved the pool. Each room had air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. Unfortunately on the last night, our youngest child wet the bed. I stripped and washed the bedding and left a note to say what had happened. The mattress had to be replaced and we were asked to pay an extra 220. This was a bit gutting having spent thousands on the accomodation, and after having had such a lovely week. One of those things, but those travelling with young kids - remember to pack a mattress protector!
Beautiful villa with everything you need. Views are amazing. Pool is very good and warm. Seating outside is great with a lovely table area. We loved it. Know the area well. It is quiet and relaxing. Just what we needed.
We were a family of 7 and the villa was perfect for us in every way. Prior to arrival communications were brilliant and as we were arriving late, provisions were made available. We couldn't fault anything. Everything we could have needed was available. The views and the privacy were amazing. 2 excellent restaurants were easily at hand and to travel further, Ubers were so cheap. We can thoroughly recommend the villa, the area and plan to return.
We loved staying in this beautiful house! Itâs very spacious, well equipped, nicely decorated and the outdoor area gives you an instant holiday feeling. We have some great family memories to look back on!
Villa was very modern, all amenities in place. Great terraces and lovely pool. Nice quiet area of the Algarve but close enough to local restaurants etc.
Great communication with the owners and Alison who looks after the villa.
Definitely be staying again đ
Lovely villa, pool, surrounding area, amazing views, very homely and comfortable just a shame of the close proximity of the neighboring villa, as we love seclusion but had a fabulous 19 days.
The property was as advertised and support from Anne was great. The neighborhood was a bit noisy but otherwise fine. The restaurant down the street, Rui's, was the best meal we had in Portugal.
We had a great stay at Casa de Pedra Furada. The pool was great - we opted for the heating which was a winning decision for the kids especially. We are mainly at the villa, which was made so easy, as it was very well equipped. Made use of the terrace and BBQ and enjoyed the views at breakfast and dinner. The great TV options came in handy as we had a day of weather warnings. Beds were comfy, clean and the area is super quiet, so lovely nights sleep all round. The space looks so much smaller in the photos - itâs a fabulous airy space, with high ceilings. We had a hire car, which I think would be essential. We didnât drive for more than an hour (one way) and experienced diverse beaches, water parks, lakes and historic picturesque towns. A great base and a fabulous place for families. Thank you.
Lovely villa with one of the best layouts of all the villas we have been in over the 25 years of coming to the Algarve. The pool was positioned perfectly for the sun all day and the pool heating enabled us to use the pool everyday of our holiday. The area has some amazing restaurants and Quinta da Tor winery is well worth a visit for the tour tasting and tapas.
As cat lovers it was a pleasure having Mia visit most days.
Wonderful Holiday in very pleasant Villa with beautiful views
Having stayed in a number of Villas in the Sao Bras area over the past 20 years this was one of the most pleasant.
On arrival access to the Villa was as per the instructions and everything was pleasing on the eye. All facilities within the Villa were top class and the Villa very spacious; pool was visited twice during our stay which was reassuring. The Villa was visited once by the Cleaner, a very pleasant young lady, who did a thorough job. We had an issue with the wind on a couple of nights and consequently we laid the Parasols on the ground during that period.
All in all a very enjoyable stay.
We really enjoyed the pool and the villa felt immediately comfortable. Lots of utensils, storage, drying facilities and the like made for a very relaxing stay. The villa was spotless and we found the bbq to be one of the best we've used on holiday!
We all slept well (in the comfortable beds) and found the area to be a great location to explore the eastern end of the Algarve.
Highlights for us were Tavira - such a beautiful and historical town with great shops and eating places - and driving out into the hills above visiting towns such as Salir and Alte.
Overall we've had a wonderful holiday and we would love to return at some point!
Muito obrigado!
PS - our restaurant recommendation is Sal da Serra - 5 minutes down the road from the villa. Spicy food from Mozambique along with delicious traditional Portuguese dishes. We absolutely loved it!
the house and location were superb, very comfy property, lovely views, well equipped, good AC if needed, you will not go wrong if you rent Annes house, it was easy to get to Faro and many nearby things to do - buggy ride into the hills, off road, quad biking, off road, teens could also drive, karting, great restaurant's with in 15 minutes drive or less at the lcoa town, great holiday
Beautiful property with a wonderful view!
The villa was spotless and Very well appointed.Alison showed us around initially and was very helpful.
The outside space was also very clean and well kept.The pool was a delight on a hot day.
It was lovely to walk down the lane of an evening for dinner at Ruiâs.We highly recommend.
Spent a week with our son , his wife and our 18 month old grandson . The villa was perfect to accommodate us all - the 3 bedrooms were spacious , air conditioned and each with an en suite. The swimming pool was a good size . The villa had stunning views with a great outdoor seating space . Communication with the owner was great . I would recommend Ruiz steakhouse which is a comfortable 5 minute walk from the villa .We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay . Thankyou
We love the Villa, really spacious rooms.
Wonderfull terrace and great swimming pool.
Love the high ceilings, good Wi-Fi and plenty of space to play with children.
The boys loved the pool.
And we loved the time that we spend in the Villa.
To repeat.
Thanks you
We loved it. All of if - the house, the place, the surroundings and the time we spent there. Check in was smooth and easy (little remark to Anne - precise address or map coordinates of the property instead of description of the directions toward the villa would make it much easier to find the property, but once the manager Alison was contacted, it was all solved). Everybody was screaming happy to find out that each of the bedrooms has its own bathroom, excellent! The layout of the house makes it feel light and spacious, laundry room with washing machine was a very welcome plus, not to mention a separate outside space within a house for drying the laundry!
Sure thing the place children could be found most of the time was swimming pool, but the role I was dealt was playing water tennis with our youngest, good to find swimming things as well at the pool!
Outside sitting area has fantastic view, just be aware that the evening winds might make you go inside earlier than you would have wished. But anyway, gazing at the stars above from the outside space are undeniably fabulous wind or not.
Having read about the dogs bothering good night sleep, I have to mention that we didnât hear a single dog barking during the night. Maybe they were just told not to bark anymore :)
Two full rows of books in English made me and our eldest daughter happily find the one and only read at the pool - each of us managed to read a book while there. TV and cartoons were consumed by our youngest prior going to sleep.
And last, but not least - all communication and attitude of Anne and Alison was also very smooth, it was pleasure to know that in case we need, they were always there to answer.
We would be happy to be back some day, thank you!
