Modern Villa in a quiet spot, with a large private swimming pool
Horta da Avozinha (translated into) "Granny`s Garden" - sits in a lovely garden and orchard where you can pluck a fresh lemon straight off the tree for your gin and tonic!

Wide French windows in the large living-room-dining area lead straight onto a covered veranda with steps leading down to the swimming pool It could not possibly be any more convenient; especially if you needed to keep an eye on young children. There are sunbeds too with parasols to lounge on including a dining table and chairs to facilitate true outdoor "al fresco" or "barbeque meals" by the pool where you also have the facility of your very own built-in outdoor oven!

Beautiful location and very safe
The property has a large electric gate which made us feel very secure and the children could run around in the garden safely.
Unfortunately the pool didn’t heat while we were there so we couldn’t make use of it. Also the hot tub was £40 for 30mins which wasn’t advertised until we got there so couldn’t use that either as it would be too expensive.
We had a few power cuts whenever 2 or more electricals were in use but the owner did her best to rectify this.
The fresh lemons, oranges, avocados and other fruits were amazing. We felt like we had a small part of paradise.

Fantastic Villa - Brilliant Holiday-Lovely Owners
We stayed for three weeks over Xmas and New Year and had a lovely time.
We had my daughter and her family out for 10 days and the Children 10 and 15 had a good time - they particularly enjoyed the Chickens and Geese ( all fenced off and secure), so much so that they are planning to build a Chicken Coup in the spring at home! Being able to pick fresh Oranges and Lemons from the many Trees in the grounds was a new experience for them they were delicious, it will be hard going back to supermarket ones!
The Villa was very well equipped everything you could want including WI Fi !
We have a dog Kevin the Cockapoo who loved it here - completely safe as the property is completely securely fenced off - he struck up a respectful co existence with the Geese and I think will miss them!
The Villa is about 3 minutes drive from Espiche which has some nice restaurants - we ate at the Indian and had a fantastic meal at the Pizza Restaurant - go for the Giant Size ones unbelievable!
Luz is a 5 minute drive and we loved it there. No high rises a beautiful beach and a lovely restaurant overlooking the sea where you can catch the last of the sun and have a late lunch and drink or two.
We explored further west to Sagres with stunning coastlines and big surf.
We particularly liked Salem’s a great Fish restaurant again overlooking the sea - stunning!
If you play golf then you are spoilt for choice Espiche Golf Club is a 5 minute drive away and they do lovely food.
Shopping is close buy with both Lidl and Aldi 10 minutes away.
The Villa is an ideal base for touring but mostly we chillled around the Villa after the Grandkids left enjoying unbroken sunshine and temperatures at about 20 degrees for the entire duration and no rain😎
If you want a lovely peaceful holiday away from the hustle and bustle which is within easy reach of all amenities then you will not find better - it is a bit rural but that is its charm !
If you have a dog there is a very good vet close buy who will sort out your Pet Passport - English Speaking - Lagos Veterinary Clinic.
Jose and Teresa are the lovely owners of the Villa- nothing was too much trouble for them and we hope to visit again👍

earthy
we enjoyed the owners Teressa and Jose very much. property is somewhat remote but very quiet and peaceful. We were there during a cold snap in February, but luckily the fireplace kept us warm. Bed is lumpy and should be replaced. Overall, you have everything you need for an extended stay. Kitchen is well equipped and the place was nice and clean. We would return again.

Lovely Villa, Lovely Location, Lovely People!
As you drive up to the villa entrance there are two large electric gates and as you drive through it opens into a small wonderland. There are three villas, two are rental and the owners live in the other. On arrival Josey & Teresa will welcome you, they are a lovely couple who will do anything to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. Each villa has its own pool (ours was heated) and there is everything you need to make your villa your home. The grounds are interesting with lots of fruit trees and in season, you won't need to buy any oranges, tangerines, grapefruits or avocados! Its a safe and quiet place where you can enjoy time around your pool, eating, drinking and relaxing. Soak up the sun and cool off in the pool!
It's an ideal base to explore the region. Praira da Luz and Lagos town are a short drive away as are the golf courses of Espiche & Boavista and a great way to unwind at the end of the day is in the Jacuzzi watching the sun go down with a glass of bubbly!

Perfect place for a family!
We stayed in the villa for 8 days with our three young children. The home was clean and welcoming upon arrival, with a few necessities available in the fridge and a full basket of wood for the fireplace. The pool, deck, and hot tub were immaculate. The yard was maintained and the swing set was hung with a baby swing as soon as the owner saw the ages of our babies. Everything we asked for was available on demand, from details like detergent for the washing machine, toys for the beach, and recommendations for things to see and do in the area. We won't stay anywhere else in Portugal and plan to return with visiting family this summer!

Nettes Ambiente doch am Haus muss etwas getan werden
Teresa die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Lage ist super schön , ruhig und abgelegen . Dennoch ist man schnell in der Stadt Lagos , an verschiedenen Stränden etc. Das Haus ist wirklich in die Jahre gekommen und hier muss meines Erachtens nach wirklich was getan werden ( Fenster , Mobiliar , Badezimmer komplett) .

Gewoon top van begin tot einde
De woning is rustig gelegen langs een goed berijdbare zandweg midden avocado plantages en wijngaarden. Kust, winkels en een mooi natuurpark liggen allen op een 10 minuutjes rijden. Teresa de gastvrouw is ontzettend vriendelijk, warm en behulpzaam. Teresa had ook een gul welkomspakket voorzien. Iets zoet, iets hartigs en drank. Je hoeft niet direct naar de winkel te hollen. Wij verbleven in het huisje met 2 slaapkamers en 2 badkamers. Alles is beschikbaar zoals beschreven. Vanop een mooi terras kijk je op een zeer ruim privé zwembad. In het seizoen kan je zelf je citroenen, sinaasappels en mandarijnen plukken. Gewoon een aanrader in de Algarve.
