Quiet retreat

This property is at the end of an unmade road which means you will see almost no-one during your stay so it's very private. It's an easy 30 minute drive from Faro. Rui, the host, is very helpful and easy to talk to. Accommodation was clean and comfortable and we wanted for nothing.

10day winter stay

We received a warm welcome from Rui who was very supportive and gave us lots of local information. The property was as described, with lots of outside space in a secluded but not too remote spot. The fresh oranges we could pick directly from the tree were well appreciated. We would not hesitate to visit again.

Wonderful stay at lovely home. Completely undisturbed - wonderful for birdwatching. House very clean and well set up. Air con in living room is brilliant and both bedrooms had effective fans. The outdoor pool is lots bigger than we had thought - 20ft diameter and a fantastic addition. Rui was very friendly & welcoming and explained things very clearly. He also made himself available throughout our week's stay via Whatsapp which was kind. Must have a car but easy driving to lots of gorgeous beaches and local towns. Thank you so much!

Warm welcome to Portugal

Very well equipped with everything you need for a perfectly relaxed stay away from it all. Particularly enjoyed sitting outside in the evening on the covered veranda. Property is very secluded and was spotlessly clean. Rui and Ana were so friendly and communicative at all times. They met us at the property even though we arrived after 11pm. We would love to return. The whole area is a hidden gem. Lots to see and do without the crowds. Beautiful beaches and pretty towns with lots of history. Water sports, cycling and long walks all within easy reach as well as good restaurant's within walking distance, torch required.

Petit coin de paradis

Petite maison très agréable au milieu des champs - calme absolu - et à seulement quelques minutes de voiture du marché d'Olhão. Rui et Ana Paula sont des hôtes parfaits qui ne manqueront pas de vous indiquer les bons plans. Un coin de paradis !!

Excelente estadia nesta casa no campo com quintal.

Foi bom estar no meio do campo, sentir o sossego e ouvir as aves . Local perto das principais vias de acesso do Algarve pelo que é facil chegar a Olhão/ Faro e ou à zona de Tavira/ Vila real de Santo António.

Vriendelijk en aangenaam

Eigenaar gaf alle mogelijke uitleg. Dit was een super ontvangst. Hij hield ons ook tijdens het verblijf via berichten op de hoogte. Er was net een staking van vervoerders van brandstof gexurende ons verblijf. De eigenaar bracht ons op de hoogte en gaf ons alternatieven. Woning perfect geschikt voor een ontspannen, rustige vakantie voor z personen
