The linked house is air conditioned and is luxuriously furnished to a very high standard. The beautiful Ria Formosa!: The Ria Formosa in the Algarve is a beautiful labyrinth of lagoons separated from the sea by a coastal dune system which is broken up by various natural inlets. It is one of the most important nature reserves in the network of wetlands that links Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. The Ria has an enormous variety of natural habitats that provide refuge, feeding and breeding areas for an infinite number of flora and fauna and is a haven for birds.
The beaches of the isles of Faro, Barreta, Culatra, Armona and Tavira form a natural barrier to the Ocean. Behind are the dunes, sometimes just a narrow strip and sometimes wider and then come the labyrinth of lagoons and small sand islands and channels. At low tide other salty habitats are uncovered forming marches and salt marshes.
A wintering ground for many migratory birds. The Estuary has an enormous variety of natural habitats and biotopes that provide refuge, feeding or breeding areas for an infinite number of organisms.

Great location
House was perfect for our situation. Just a short walk to a beautiful beach. Within close driving distance to many restaurants. Fantastic bakery within a 5 minute walk. As North Americans, we were shocked that no amenities were provided such as beach towels, beach umbrellas, beach chairs, shampoo etc. I guess that it is not common in Europe to provide those things. They are things that we cannot bring all that way in our luggage. We made it work though.

Lovely beachside villa
Mixed weather meant we could not take full advantage of the outside villa. Stunning beach 5 m8nute walk away with 2 great beachside restaurants with fab cocktails and food.Beds linnen and towels great quality.Very well socked kitchen with crockery utensilsand 0lenty pots abd serving dishesMinor but a bread knife and working corkscrew is needed slong with a sturdy clothes horse for hanging washing outside.We did not bring a haidryer as the billa was advertised as having one.I dare say if we had contacted the owner one would have been brought to the villa.The bakery,.shop come cafe restaurant 5 minutes walk away had everything needed and we used it every morning for coffee and padtried.vey reasonable and delicious it wad too.All in all we would use villa again but leave it to later in theseadon .

Lovely location and property but very rainy weather .
We loved the house and location however it took (2) days of heating the house to get the chill to retreat and make it tolerable . The tile floors on the first floor retained the cold; so we retreated to the upstairs bedroom to warm up to sleep. We are sure it would be a more pleasant experience in the summer months

Amazing new part of Portugal
We come to Portugal every year, staying in new places all the time, 12 people or more.
This property was very close to an incredible beach, when i say close i mean less than 5 min walk with young ones at heel.
They came and changed the sheets and kept things clean, the icky thing i missed that we usually see is someone cleaning the pool, but the tools where handily they're and the kids loved to do it.
We will most likely come back!
Definitely recommended

Amazing
We stayed here with our extended Portuguese family for a long overdue reunion and ot was all great. A few little issues to start with, very promptly tended to and understandeable for the start of season. A great house, with all the necessary facilities. Well equipped, well located. Only a short walk to the beach and a quick 7 to 10 minute drive to any supermarket you choose. Very short drive to the Monte Gordo village with good restaurants and great walking paths along the beach. Overall an amazing stay in a very good house. Thank you so much. We had many tears from young to old when leaving....

Disappointed
Check in was easy and house was in order. After that things went downhill. House didn't have any of the normal extras like salt and pepper, dish soap, hand soap etc. I've come to expect with VRBO listings. (We were left 2 dishwasher pods and 2 laundry pods-not adequate for 4 people doing their cooking at home for 5 nights). 2 of the wine glasses in the cupboard were cracked and a 3rd broke in my hand while towel drying it.
Owner states he lives nearby but was not responsive for nearly 24 hours when the sink backed up, the dishwasher leaked all over the floor and the hot water went out. Fortunately my friend was able to figure out the hot water problem so we didn't have to take any more cold showers. His agent (who was a gem when she finally came) is only available during office hours, so if you have a problem in the evening or weekend (which we did) you're out of luck.
There was no hand soap or garbage receptacles in either bathroom and no place to hang a hand towel in the upstairs bathroom for washing hands. Lastly, the house sprung a leak in the bathroom upstairs and we had to line the area behind the toilet with towels for 2 days.
I've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals, and this was by far the most expensive I've ever rented. It's only the 2nd poor review I've ever left. I think the house was recently renovated and we were the unlucky problem finders and owner didn't seem very concerned.

Lovely stay mid October
House suited us to the ground.
Pool well used by eldest daughter.
Pool table great for the rainy day.
Perfect position for the beach and a good walk to catch the boat to Spain for a day.
Well equipped except for a bread knife. But who’s bothered by that?
Recommend a stay.

Opinion on Casa da audiencia
Great location for beach access, outdoor space was amazing, close to cafe and mini market and in walking distance to train in MG. Lots of tv options! 8 adults made it a little crowded esp on rainy days when we were inside! The beds and pillows were not to our liking- too soft ! Overall, we enjoyed our time there!

The area was great with the beach only a short walk. The neighbourhood was quiet and it suited our needs perfectly. The town of Monte Gordo was a short walk along the beach and minutes driving. We did feel that that house needed a little updating but it didn't hinder our stay. We would very much love to return.

the property is well proportioned all our visitors over the month we had it were happy with their rooms , located handily for the beach we were fortunate to have good weather throughout our stay feb/mar with a cafe/ bakery close enough to pop out to and a good fish restaurant on the beach ,
we had a couple of minor problems with electrics and took us a while to figure the gas had run out when hot water stopped basic instructions would have helped
overall our stay was exactly what we hoped and would happily stay here again

Perfect for our needs
Well located.Near restaurants beaches shops but in a quiet location.
In a less touristy side of the Algarve but not isolated from any amenities.
Pool warm enough to swim even early April. Kitchen well supplied with utensils and white goods. Plenty of room in the bedrooms. Games room with pool table and table football a real bonus for young ones especially on rainy days. Great barbeque area outside.
Would highly recommend for a self catering family to the Algarve.

Boa localização, 5 minutos a pé da praia. Bom para quem gosta de fazer caminhadas/jogging. Muitas almofadas e com qualidade, AC em todos os quartos e sala de estar. Para um alojamento que acomoda até 12 pessoas, devia ter mais espreguiçadeiras e utensílios de cozinha. Piscina virada a norte, pelo que tem pouca exposição solar.

Boa casa, precisa de manutenção
Já temos escolhido esta casa várias vezes nos últimos 11 anos para passar férias em família. Gostamos muito da cas e do facto de poder acomodar até 12 pessoas e de ser perto da praia. No entanto, achamos que a casa tem falta de alguma manutenção, o que está em contraste com o aumento do preço do arrendamento de cerca de 50% que sofreu nos últimos 3 anos.
Houve alguns problemas de manutenção que não ficaram resolvidos durante a nossa estadia
