This is a smart villa in a quiet development near to the small town of Carapacho. It is a short drive from Faro airport (about 25 mins) and about a 10 min drive from Carapacho (which has a good supermarket).The villa was very spacious and felt very private. The gardens were well tended and the pool was clean and a good size.At the back of the villa is another large patio area with a great barbecue.
Fantastic villa with a brilliant pool. The pool was perfect and the temperature of the water so warm. The villa was well stocked and outdoor patio was very convenient for outdoor eating. A car is required but there is a really nice restaurant that you can walk to (15 mins) via a very quiet road. Communication was good with villa representative and he always answered quickly. The location is good for visiting Olhao and the islands.There was a little bit of confusion with Aircon. I think the owner introduced an extra payment to have Aircon on during the day which we had not been informed about but this was quickly sorted out. Also the downstairs Aircon was broken but I understand that these things happen and didn't cause much inconvenience.Maybe a welcome book for the villa would be helpful. For instance it took us a while to locate the recycling bins in the neighborhood (for anyone else it is a left, right at roundabout and then a right)We were incredibly happy with our time at the villa and would 100% recommend to others.
Loved the property! It was exactly as described, wonderful areas and always ready to support in case of doubts. Between Olhao and Moncarapacho, easy to get and to relax.
Will definitely come back! Thanks!
Our stay has been wonderful. We had a couple of issues at first but Ines sorted them out almost immediately (and they were very minor).
The villa is beautiful and so convenient for Olhao. Wewould 100% return!
A great 2 weeks just spent at Casa Vista Montanha. Outdoor space and facilities were ample for 8 guests. Fully equiped kitchen, cushions and towels provided for the sun loungers and dining areas. Outdoor crockery is a good touch for safety. Beautiful pool, warm as a bath.
Stayed with a family of four and had a wonderful time. A big and roomy house, well-equipped, nice garden with BBQ and super pool. The house and surroundings are very clean and well maintained. The house is conveniently located only 10 min by car from Olhao and 20 min from Faro.
We would definitely stay there again.
This villa lives up to the listing and other reviews. It is a good size, well finished, well equipped and a good layout.There is what we decided to call âthe honeymoon suiteâ up the stairs. This has a huge double master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. There is good privacy here and hence we gave that to my brother and his girlfriend. The room has a private balcony facing out to the front over the pool.Off the staircase there is a further roof terrace with a couple of sun bedsâŠarguably available to all guests as it isnât attached to that master suite.Downstairs in the bedroom area there is a large twin room on the left, facing to the rear of the villa and a double on the right, facing the front. These share a bathroom with shower over bath. We took these rooms for ourselves and our small children.At the end of the bedroom corridor, there is another twin room which is en-suite which my parents took.All have ac but the ac in the kids twin room wasnât working, similarly was the ac in the living room. We are told these are due to be replaced shortly.The 4th bathroom has a shower and toilet.The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you could reasonably want including coffeeMachineâŠ.just ensure you get the right capsules.The pool is lovely, it is heated and if anything got a bit too warm! Plenty of sun beds, tables and options to sit and eat outsideâŠ.you can make full use of the plot as the owners have put furniture in various locations.
We enjoyed are stay at this Villa with are family. The house is big and can accommodate a lot of people. The cleanliness was great. The pool was lovely except that it was to hot! We had to get turn the heat down to enjoy it. Also, the beds are extremely firm, I would recommend the owners upgrade the beds immediately.
The Villa was better than the photos! It was very well equipped and the pool was huge. I had various groups of friends and family come to stay over the 12nights. The property manager was great sorting out minor issues and was always available on WhatsApp. The local taxis worked out well for our group but probably better to hire a car for a whole stay/family groups
The villa is superb, very well equipped with a wonderful pool. We had problems with noisy neighbours but the manager, Ines, sorted it out for us. You definitely need a car as itâs a bit of a drive to the supermarket. Portugal is still surprisingly cheap and the weather is gorgeous!
An excellent choice for a villa in the Eastern Algarve away from some of the tourist excesses further west. One master suite upstairs and three bedrooms on the ground floor. Beautifully landscaped property and a very nice heated pool. Car essential as the villa is located in a grouping of villas a little distance in land. Owners suggestions for restaurants and places in the area to see were very good. Food at Mariaâs was excellent. Ate there several times.
From straight forward booking process to checking out - everything was very smooth. Great communication from Doug and Jane, and with Ines whilst we were there. Villa was amazing. Very clean and spacious. Comfy sofa and bed. Kitchen very well stocked. TV package with sky was a bonus and meant that my husband could watch all the football. Pool was amazing. The pool cover meant that it was super warm and such a pleasure to swim in. Lots of different seating areas were great for sun and shade. Also great to have a washing line. Doug and Jane have thought of everything! The quiet location suited us, yet still not far from shops via car. We went to "Maria's" restaurant and had a really good steak for a good price. It's a small restaurant at the end of a dirt track - cash only but worth a visit. WiFi was also good. thank you again Doug and Jane -we hope to visit again.
We had such an amazing time in this villa, it was everything we could have asked for as a large family of all ages. The pool was perfect, we certainly made use of it & all the fab pool toys for the children. The surrounding gardens are amazing, bbq is a must for evening meals with it lovely big table. Actual villa is huge, pictures donât do it justice at all. Each room is very spacious & comfortable with big windows & aircon.
We hired just one car between us which we used for the supermarket & the odd run to town but taxis are ok to use. Just make sure you write the full address of the villa somewhere, rooting through emails & WhatsAppâs at 2am after a few super bocks wasnât our best moment!
The villa is away from everything but the facilities more than make up for it. Living space was important for us which is why we chose the villa. We enjoy cooking & eating together, then a few drinks once the children are in bed and it worked perfectly. Although we did venture out too, the towns are too nice to miss! Would also highly recommend and boat trip from Olhao, we went with Sabina tours. Worth every penny & a great way to see a bit more of beautiful Portugal.
Back to the villa thoughâŠ. Literally everything we needed and more. Donât even hesitate, we are not creatures of habit but would seriously consider staying here again. Our only regret is not booking 2weeks :,( super clean & the property manager was always on hand & nothing was too much trouble. Communication with her and the owners was faultless.
Thank you so much for having us :)!
La estancia ha sido magnĂfica. Todo muy cuidado, limpio y con muchos detalles positivos. Cualquier problema te lo solucionan prĂĄcticamente de inmediato. La amabilidad y atenciĂłn de Douglas magnĂfica, inmejorable.
Property was large, clean and contained everything needed. Owners and manager very helpful. Great garden and pool. We had a lovely time.
Car needed to get around as the location is away from any village shops etc.
The booking process with Jane and Douglas was flawless and our questions about the house and the nearest town were quickly answered. The house is perfect for a larger family with children and there was nothing we missed in the kitchen (possibly a gas grill). Good set of large bowls, pots, etc. Annoying is the large furniture in the kitchen that partially blocks the exit to the back porch. But the best thing about the house is a heated pool which is worth a lot with children who want to swim all the time.
The bedrooms are large with 3 fully equipped bathrooms. There is a 4th smaller bathroom behind the kitchen. We had the bedroom upstairs where the bed creaks and squeaks (needs some service). The beds are perceived as hard if you are used to soft mattresses.
All in all, a very nice house that I can recommend for a larger family.
This property does not disappoint, everything promised was delivered from the pool, BBQ area and inside spaces it had everything a family needs for a really relaxing holiday. The kitchen was possible one of the best equipped we have ever had including up market plates (unbreakable) etc for pool side. We have all agreed we cannot find fault , but maybe a knife sharpener đđđ
