Stunning Home - Very Clean, Very Beautiful

Miriam’s home couldn’t be more beautiful. Had everything you could want and more. Only drawback is that it is a bit of a drive to many of the Algarve towns and Altura, while charming and cute, did not offer much to do. This is not a complaint, just something to consider if you are looking for more liveliness. Mirian was wonderful and very accommodating. Truly loved this property and would gladly go back if the opportunity presented itself. Highly recommended!

What a gem!

This was an amazing property to stay at. The communication with the host was immediate and they were able to help with all of our needs. The beds were comfortable, rooms were a great size, and the location of the property is a short 15 minute walk to the beach and a small shopping Center. Loved staying here!

Altura stay

Miriam assisted immediately via email any of our concerns! Ana, who managed the property was wonderful and accommodating! Kitchen was fully stocked with plates, bowls, silverware, and request for a drip coffee maker was fulfilled. We enjoyed the beaches immensely, a 15 minute walk from the house! This is a small village with very little open in February but we found two other villages close by for restaurants.

Golf and Explore holiday

We really liked the accommodations, felt they were as portrayed, nice yard etc. The location was a disappointment, loud motorcycles almost nightly, no regard for the neighborhood which is a little rundown. All in all we had a good time but would’ve stay at that location again. Another thing, be very careful with car rentals, we rented from Avis at the Faro airport, they are dishonest and trying to get two thousand dollars for two alleged chips in our windshield. TBD!

A beautiful house in a quiet area

It was our first time renting a property and our host made it an easy and pleasant experience. The house itself was beautifully finished, modern comfortable and very clean. It’s well situated with groceries, dining and beach all within a short car ride but also walkable.

Miriam's place is a lovely place to stay. Close to the beach by car and with cafés, bars and restaurants nearby. Ana, who looks after the property, was really helpful. Lovely outside space which is enclosed so great for us as we had our dog. Both Miriam and Ana answered any questions very promptly. Would definitely book again.

Perfect family beach time retreat

All my kids and I loved our stay at the property. The photos don’t do it justice. The garden is immense and shaded with a large tree. We enjoyed many dinners out on the garden table. The interior is all high-end and designer finishes for a very comfortable and luxurious experience. The host was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. I would have loved to stay more nights, but maybe we will come back sometime! The beach is more like 1 and half Km away, but is a perfect beach for young children. We all rented bikes and explored the surrounding area. I would highly recommend the place for families, and cannot wait to come back someday!

Erholung mit Wohlfühlfaktor

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung hat uns sehr gefallen. Moderner Landhausstil mit schönen Dekoelementen. Die Küche war perfekt eingerichtet und bestückt. Der kleine Garten wunderschön zum Frühstücken oder am Abend mit einem Glas Wein…Wir können die Unterkunft mit bestem Gefühl weiter empfehlen. Im Ort gibt es mehrere Supermärkte und Gaststätten. Zum Strand sind wir ca. 20 Minuten zu Fuß gegangen.

Altura im Januar

Wir waren im Januar 2024 2 Wochen in dem Ferienhaus in Altura und haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist sehr hübsch, nett und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, mit einem Garten und einer Veranda, 3 Zimmern und 2 Bädern. Es war mit drei Radiatoren zu beheizen und nicht nur mit den Klimaanlagen. Das war großzügig und im Januar auch bitter nötig Kompliziert fanden wir die Bedienung des Backofens und des Fernsehers. Im oberen Bad müsste die Technik mal wieder erneuert werden. Die Handbrause funktionierte nicht u.a. wegen Löchern im Schlauch und einer abgebrochenen Halterung . Das Instrumentarium in der Küche müsste ergänzt werden. Die Messer waren stumpf und es gab abgesehen von einer Nespressomaschine keine vernünftige Möglichkeit, Kaffee in nennenswerten Mengen zuzubereiten. Der Ort Altura ist sehr schön. Es gibt Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe und der Strand ist mit dem Rad in 5 Minuten erreichbar. Insgesamt hat das Haus eine positive Bewertung verdient. AS

Perfect Stay

Es war eine wunderbare Unterkunft für uns. Alles ist so liebevoll und wunderschön eingerichtet. Ich habe mich wie in einem Boho Traum gefühlt. Es ist mir immer sehr wichtig, dass die Unterkünfte sauber sind. Oftmals findet man Dreck oder Staub in Ecken. Aber nicht in dieser Unterkunft. Hier war alles absolut sauber, sodass wir uns alle sehr wohlgefühlt habe. Die Kommunikation mit der Besitzerin war einwandfrei. Sie antwortete immer sehr zeitnah und hat uns bei sämtlichen Anliegen geholfen. Vielen Dank für alles. Wir werden dieses Haus in wundervoller Erinnerung behalten :)

Prachtige vakantiewoning

Ruime en zeer volledig uitgeruste vakantiewoning, zeer smaakvol ingericht. De foto's op de site zijn een correcte weergave van de woning. We verbleven in oktober, en relatief weinig bewoners in de buurt. Mooi weer en leuke tuin zorgden voor een rustig verblijf. Toch wel een aanrader.
