Susan was extremely welcoming. The property is spacious, private and extremely clean.
Well equipped throughout. Walking distance into town and beach was a real bonus. Thereâs a selection of top quality restaurants in BurgauâŠfresh fish and seafood readily available. We enjoyed Miam, Barraca, the beach barâŠ.all exceptional. Surf school also popular and great to watch beginners and veterans sharing the waves.
With regards to the property. If fancy gadgets or state of the art facilities are important then this isnât for you. The bathrooms are dated but extremely clean and simply functional. Endless hot water in a peaceful setting is so much more important than a faddy shower with changing colours and jetsâŠ.in our opinion. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The large kitchen was cool in the day and warm in the eveningâŠeverything worked perfectlyâŠ.a proper farmhouse kitchen! The living room is gorgeousâŠ.it wasnât cool enough to light a fire but everything was ready for a colder evening including extra logs in the stables. The terrace is large and has sun all day long.
In summary, we had a perfect week in this property. Private, quiet, clean, spacious, convenient and comfortable.
Thank you Susan.
We had a fabulous holiday here! We all (two adults, two teenagers and an 8 year old)loved the space - the house, pool, peaceful surroundings, and wildlife - such beautiful birds! It is only a short walk to Burgau beach which is stunning, really picturesque. We hope to come back as it was a truly relaxing break, the most enjoyable family time together in a long while! The owner was fantastic - showed us around, provided helpful information and was contactable should we need anything. The house is very private, wonderfully secluded. Thank you so much!
Klasse Alleinlage am HĂŒgel, wenige Gehminuten von Burgau entfernt. Im Ort gibt es einen schönen kleinen Sandstrand, gute Restaurants und alles, was fĂŒr den tĂ€glichen Bedarf benötigt wird. Das Ferienhaus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was in der Anzeige beschrieben ist, der Pool ist sauber. Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und reagiert prompt auf Anfragen.
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit hier.
We had a perfect holiday. The house is much larger than it appears in the pictures. Everything was provided for a relaxing holiday combining countryside with the beach and pleasant walk away. Great value and I will definitely be visiting again next year.

Ein wunderschönes, ruhig gelegenes Haus, das trotzdem die NÀhe zum Ort bietet.
Sowohl von innen als auch von auĂen strahlt dieses Haus eine besondere AtmosphĂ€re aus. Wir haben besonders die Terrasse genossen, auch wenn es im MĂ€rz noch nicht die wĂ€rmsten Temperaturen gab. Die Umgebung ist lĂ€ndlich, natĂŒrlich, die Mimosen blĂŒhen, die Vögel singen. Man kann Wiedehopfe und sogar mal einen Fuchs beobachten.
Als Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr Wanderungen in die Umgebung ist das Haus ideal.
In Burgau findet man Restaurants und einige kleine LĂ€den. Am Strand ist man in 10 Minuten.
Wir werden wiederkommen.
Wow! From the moment we drove up until the end, it was a truly relaxing holiday. Little bit closer to the road than we thought, but fantastic. Truly recommend it. Plunge pool was useful to cool off in an afternoon. Would definitely go back.
Sehr gerÀumiges und schön eingerichtetes Landhaus.
Sehr gerĂ€umiges und schön eingerichtetes Landhaus. Tolle, ruhige Ortsrandlage. Burgau ist ein hĂŒbscher Ort mit netten Kneipen, der vom Haus leicht in 10 Min. zu FuĂ erreicht wird. Der schöne Strand ist nur ein paar Minuten weiter. Ideal zum morgendlichen Schwimmen, da die Wellen hier nicht hoch sind. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, die Matratzen sind fĂŒr meine Begriffe sehr hart. Die Terrasse ist groĂ, es sind auch ausreichend LiegestĂŒhle vorhanden. Was nicht ausreicht ist der Schatten. Das es keinen natĂŒrlichen Schatten gibt, wĂ€ren zwei groĂe Sonnenschirme oder ein Sonnensegel wĂŒnschenswert. Zum Ende des Sommer (September) ist der Garten wegen der Wasserknappheit sehr trocken und verdörrt.

Lovely peaceful villa, very comfortable and equipped well enough for holiday needs
I did have concerns re size of pool initially, but more than big enough to cool off in. We also had a few WiFi issues which wouldn't have been a problem , other than waiting for A level results! Wouldn't have bothered otherwise. Loved the patio and the hammock! and the cats and pony (who all ate very well for the duration of my daughter's stay) The village has some lovely restaurants, but be warned, cashpoint does run out of money and a lot don't take cards. Beach was busy but very pretty.The national park nearby is also worth a drive as the scenery is beautiful. Owner is lovely and friendly and has lots of local knowledge re whats going on. We had three teenagers with us who could have been bored but actually were more than happy to read , sunbathe and relax when it was v hot , followed by trips into Lagos and Portimao later in the day. Loved the medieval festival in Silves. A lovely, relaxed holiday in a peaceful secluded spot, definitely thinking about booking again.
We hebben genoten van onze vakantie in het voorjaar van 2016. Met name de prachtige ligging van het huis, mooi terras en uitzicht, met op loopafstand een zeer gezellig Portugees dorpje met allerlei restaurantjes en een prachtig baai, hebben gemaakt dat we goed konden uitrusten en een heerlijke vakantie hebben gehad. De gastvrijheid van de beheerders stelden we erg op prijs, zeer bereikbaar voor kleine vragen. We zullen zeker terug komen!
