Good place to stay, few issues to be solved
This is a lovely villa in a lovely peaceful location, the pool was well maintained and the house was clean. There are however a number of negatives with this property; when we booked the property the pool was advertised as heated, it is not. There are air conditioning units in the sitting room and one in the master bedroom, neither of which work, we understand they have been "disabled". We were very uncomfortable at night even with the window open, there is a fan but it is noisy and it smells as though something is burning, so we couldn't use it. The property is three bedrooms but has six single beds, so a couple has to push the beds together but of course, there is a gap. There appears to be a double bed in the master bedroom but again it is two single beds pushed together. I would have thought there should at least be a proper double bed in the master bedroom. We were in the property for ten days but there are no replacement sheets or towels available, we were given the option of washing our own sheets and towels, there is a washing machine but no washing powder. This could be a perfect holiday rental property, but only if these issues are dealt with.

Beautiful villa in peaceful location
Absolutely loved this villa. Great areas to sit out from sunrise to sunset and enjoy the views. Lovely pool. Well equipped house. Enjoyed the remote location in the hills- bird life, great views, very relaxing, remote. We went with our 10 month old daughter who had a great time. Host made everything very straightforward and good directions. You don’t really want to leave the villa but we had some good trips out to surrounding towns. Would definitely recommend if you want to get away from it all.

Fantastic setting and property, shame about no wifi.
The gardens and pool are absolutely stunning and the location is beautiful and very peaceful. We had a fantastic week here. The only downside was that the wifi didn't work at all. We tried the terrace and various other locations around the property and rebooted a few times, but nothing. We suspect it hadn't been topped up. Our data was also very patchy as it is so remote. If you want no contact with the outside world at all, this is the place for you, but if you have teenagers who do want some contact with their friends or you want to check the odd email, this is probably not the best option. We feel it would be more transparent to advertise as not having wifi. On arrival, several electrical sockets were partially hanging out of the walls and the pool light didn't work for our duration. Both issues were raised with the pool cleaner and we did text the owner about the wifi, but didn't hear back. However, overall it was a great week and these things didn't spoil it.

Lovely farmhouse in a peaceful location
A lovely secluded little house, perfect for anyone who wants to get away from the crowds. The farmhouse is easily big enough for two adults and two (older) teens and could easily accommodate six. The outside space is fantastic, with a covered area for eating, loungers by the pool and seats under a tree. Plenty of room so no one feels like they are getting in each other's way. A beautiful 40 minute drive from Faro, and 30 minutes to Tavira (definitely recommended!) The only thing worth pointing out is that the track down to the house is quite narrow and has a hill to one side, so nervous passengers may want to get out and walk the last 50 yards of the journey. Certainly not a reason not to go though! Hope to return next year, and we've never returned to any cottage or villa we've rented before!

ottima soluzione per godersi l'Algarve nella quiete assoluta. La casa oltre ad essere in una posizione unica, è splendidamente equipaggiata e arredata con gusto. Il giradino circostate è curato in ogni dettaglio. Perfetta in ogni dettaglio. Complimenti all'owner.

Heerlijke plek!
Ruime woning op een prachtige locatie. We hebben genoten van de rust en de natuur om ons heen. De kinderen vonden het heerlijk in het zwembad. De keuken is goed uitgerust zodat het fijn is om zelf te koken of gebruik te maken van de gas BBQ. Prettig dat er een wasmachine is en de kinderen vonden het heel tof dat er goede WIFI was! Zij hadden een kamer met goed bereik, dit was niet in alle kamers. Buiten onder het afdak was onze favoriete plek om te relaxen, eten, drinken, lezen en spelletjes te doen. Als je dit huis bezoekt, kijk dan ook eens in het fotoalbum over de verbouwing van dit huis. Heel bijzonder om te zien hoe deze plek opgebouwd is! Je bent ongeveer 10 minuten, met de auto, onderweg door de bergen om op drukkere plekken te komen. Er liggen gezellige stadjes in de buurt die je kunt bezoeken. Ook een autotocht door de bergen maken is erg leuk. Kortom: Wij hebben van onze vakantie genoten! Familie Kerckhoffs

Mala experiencia en general
La ubicación no era mala, pero mal camino de acceso. En el anuncio decían que había aire acondicionado, pero no era así. Aunque nos hicieron un descuento, no mereció la pena. Pasamos mucho calor. Barbacoa sin bombona de gas( hasta el día siguiente de pedirla no nos la trajeron. Obra en una casa que hay pegada con el consiguiente ruido. Y además para colmo( aunque sé que no era culpa de los dueños) teníamos máquinas trabajando toda la noche cortando árboles y haciendo caminos. También nos fallo varias veces la luz, una noche varias horas, incluso tuvimos q hacer la cena y cenar con las escasas velas q había en la casa.
