Villa with Private Swimming Pool / WI-Fi / Pet friendly

Casa Barbara is a carefully restored, rustic-style house, dating back around a hundred years. A beamed ceiling, thick walls and a fireplace retain the rustic theme of the living room, along with arched open doorways accessing other parts of the house, including the country kitchen. Two twin bedrooms overlooking the rear garden and the swimming pool and sharing a bathroom. The third bedroom, a double, overlooking a little garden, has an en-suite bathroom reached by two steps and an adjoining sitting room. Villa is countryside location 2km from Pechao village and 5km from water front bars and restaurants in Olhao, away from crowds but still easy reach of major resorts and golfing facilities.------ Corona-virus Update

We were met by our host Suzana, who was delight to meet. The property was just lovely, plenty of space and every requirement well catered for. It was immaculately clean too. The outside gardens were beautiful. In a lovely rural spot too. All in all we had a brilliant time at the villa and hope to return some day.

Excellent villa

The villa is beautifully maintained and a great size. The pool is surprisingly large and a highlight of the villa. The garden is also very well kept. Suzana is the best host, making sure that everything was perfect for us.This villa works well for a family holiday, including time at the villa and pool, and it is also well located for visiting Olhão, Faro and the rest of the region.

Fantastic stay

We had an absolutely amazing holiday at this gorgeous villa. Huge pool, great villa layout, in a beautiful rural location. The garden is so well kept with stunning selection of plants. We spent most evenings in the bbq area, with walks in the local area to explore the landscape and wildlife. 10 minute easy drive from Olhão. Suzana the host was fantastic and made sure we were settled in and had everything we need. Would highly recommend for families looking for pool time and quiet location, with easy access to the rest of Algarve with a hire car.

Lovely villa a short drive from the airport and Olhao. Met by Suzana despite it being almost midnight when we arrived. She is so nice and helpful and not at all intrusive. As others have said the pool is huge and so refreshing with good quality sunbeds and you can sunbathe in privacy. The villa has everything you would need, very well stocked and the rooms are a good size and with air conditioning in the bedrooms. We have stayed in villas for about 20 years and this is up there with the best.

Family summer holiday

We arrived late and Suzana waited up to give us our keys and also made sure we had bread, milk and breakfast and lunch supplies. The house was spacious, rustic and had working air conditioning. The pool was amazing and we spent most of our time outside by the pool. There are lots of day trips available, beaches, waterparks, watersports, towns... What a fabulous holiday, i definitely recommend staying here!

Fun in the sun

Suzanna is a great host, friendly and helpful. The villa is wonderful, plenty of space, a great size pool and beautiful gardens. We are a family of four and there was plenty of space inside and out. A rural location, a car is a must to enjoy the neighbouring areas or to explore further a field. The villa is well equipped. We had a fabulous 10 days enjoying fun in the sun.

Our Olhao retreat

If we are ever lucky enough to return to this area of the Algarve, we would not want to stay anywhere else! Suzana was wonderful. We loved the oranges from her garden that she supplied us with - what fantastic, fresh orange juice every morning. There was no shortage of supplies in the villa; from a very well stocked kitchen to charcoal for the bbq. Obrigado Suzana!

Super Villa

Great Villa in very rural location (car is a must). Suzana was the perfect host, made us very welcome and ensured we had everything we wanted. The pool was lovely, although not heated. We ate out a few times, most local restaurants only take cash but the local hotel, Quinta dos Poetas, is only a 3 minute drive and has an excellent set menu to 20 Euro. Villa ideally located for Olhau (10 Mins) and Tivira (25 mins). Overall a lovely hotel and villa

Gorgeous villa

Had a really good time here. The villa has everything you need and the aircon is much appreciated in 35-40 degrees!! Suzana was the perfect host, met us on arrival and popped in regularly to water the plants. The only thing we couldn’t find on the listing was the hot tub but no way we needed any more hot that 11 days!! The only thing to watch out for was wasps in the pool, nobody’s fault but just in case of small children trying to ‘save’ them :-) Loved sitting at night or early morning watching the various wildlife that visited the beautiful gardens The area was remote, you definitely need a car here It was perfect!

Family holiday in September with three adult offspring

I can thoroughly recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit the Algarve but wanting somewhere less developed and touristy. The property was lovely, really well maintained and the owner Susanna had obviously paid a great deal of care and attention to what people need in a villa. The villa was difficult to find when arriving late in the dark from the airport but Susanna arranged to be there when we arrived and was happy to come and rescue us when we got hopelessly lost! She lived close by and left us feeling she would happily come and help us if needed. The pool was great, a good size for swimming in once you had braved the cold we could have happily spent all our time round it but there was plenty to see and do in the area which kept us busy. Thank you so much Susanna for making our holiday!
