Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hugo V. 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very pleasant stay, the house is very nice and in an excellent and relaxing area. If you’re looking for nature and relax this will be certainly one of the places to stay. Big enough for a big family or group of friends. The pool is nice (although with wind the pool may get a bit dirty with leaves). There are also always a lot of wasps around the pool looking for water and some end up dying inside the pool. The access to the house (outside) is not ideal for big cars but still manageable. The house could have some sort of shed for one or two cars (there’s plenty of space and during summer time under the sun the whole day, the car gets too warm inside). The garden is great to stay, and enjoy the pool. In front of the kitchen there’s a very nice place to eat outside ##### Hugo V.

The villa was very large and fit our family well. We enjoyed the pool and the pool table and the location to Faro and surrounding area was easy to access. The road leading to the villa is very narrow so a smaller vehicle is recommended. The location to the closest Lidl and Continente grocery stores in Sao Bras de Alportel was very convenient. Thank you Villa Murta for an awesome family vacation. ! ##### Mrs. Fran M.

We had gone for the pool to be heated due to the time of the year this wasn’t very efficiently ran so it remained cool but the owner generously reimbursed us for this! The communication was great and I would recommend and return my self. ##### Lee C. Stayed 11 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura H. 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Villa lovely in a extremely rural area. Villa in appearance is very tired and needs updating, and a good clean.Driveway difficult to get up in a family vehicle. Pool light is broken, only one light working and we had to ask for that to be enabled so we could put it on. We did pay extra for the pool to be heated. Pool umbrella is broken so you cannot sit and watch kiddies without sun burning. Sunbeds mostly broken, and graveyard in backyard previously broken sunbeds.I didn't mind paying extra for luxury items like pool heating, but I do mind paying for sheets and bed linen, which is an essential. Be prepared for eveything to be at an extra cost, at a high rate. The aircon at the moment is 150euros a week, I didn't mind a charge but that is far too expensive!, as we would have only used it in the evenings. Hot tub use was an extra, but not needed. Most annoying thing was the gate, only one entry clicker, we were a family with 2 cars so had to wait up at night to open and shut gate for last person to come home. The maintenance man who lived on property (under our bedroom) was supposed leave gate open for us to close when last person returned, but he kept closing the gates.Wifi worked in house, kitchen all good. Washing machine & dish washer worked well, and the BBQ was lovely. Expensive holiday villa, didn't really get what we expected. Allow extra 500euros for bed linen and pool heating, that does not include for air con. ##### Laura H. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2025 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian H., Bonn, Germany 20 Nov 2016 #### Perfect Stay We enjoyed the stay very much. Easy access from the airport, high quality house. Thanks for heating the pool that was very important for the kids. As far as i know one has to inform marco before the stay and pay an extra price (what was fine for us). My son and I used the pool billiard and the kitchen had everything inklusive an orange juice machine ;). The housekeeper next door was very friendly and getting the keys and instruction of using the house was easy and very helpful. We drove to beach Marina (40 minutes) which was perfect and booked a dolphin and cave tour with dream wave insomnia boat in Albufeira and visited the nice market in Olhao. It was a little bit loud during the night due to barking dogs from neighbours - no problem for us but maybe good to know. We will come back! Thanks Marco. Christian ##### Christian H.

Absolutely huge with only 3 of us staying there, very modern, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. Owner was easy to deal with via email and having maintenance man on-site but away from villa was very convenient. Lovely gardens and pool. We paid for pool heating at end of May and were very glad of it. Although villa is only 10 or so miles from airport, no aircraft noise at all - all you can hear are the birds! It is a little hard to find even with good directions - recommend you put the co-ordinates into satnav N 37.11573 , W 007.85827\. Look for the big brown/red iron gates automatic gates. The drive up to the villa could be a little scary in the dark as it is a country track. The villa is incredible value out of high season and I would certainly recommend it providing that you like tranquility - there really are no amenities within walking distance, although the Lidl is around 10 minutes drive away and has everything you need and the coast is 25 minutes. We liked to drive down to Vilamoura for lunch although other beaches/resorts are available. With the villa being so well-equipped we spent most time by the pool and barbeque though. We had a great time and really enjoyed it. ##### corrie j. ### 6/10 Okay #### SAMANTHA H., Dover Kent 27 Apr 2023 Liked: Location #### Average stay for a family of 4 Our 9 night family stay at Marta was good at best. The villa is very large and each room is very spacious. The villa can hold two families of 4 or 4 couples. The villa is set outside the village/small town of Estori. It's a quiet location, other than the occasional noises of dogs barking and roosters calling out, which we found fitted the setting. The narrow dirt road leading to the villa is not ideal for a van or large people carrier. There are a few downsides to the villa that we found. We paid additional costs (300euros) for the pool heating and linen, but the pool never got above 25 degrees, which in April was very cold. The cost of the linen for a family of 4 consisted of 2 pool towels, 2 bath towels and 6 hand towels and 2 white bed sheets. Pillows were very lumpy and old, and dated blankets. The kitchen cooking equipment is old and handles on pans were loose. No cleaning supplies were left other than half a bottle of washing up liquid and one sponge. The sun loungers are dated and old. Lastly the sofa was awful, dirty and separated into small sections constantly. Not comfortable at all. The villa needs updating with regards to furniture and homeware. I am not sure I would completely recommend this villa as these issues did annoy me throughout the stay. ##### SAMANTHA H. Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Trish B. 2 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely villa - shame about service This is a lovely property with lots of space, but feels a little tired, a bit like the service by owner/manager… We made our booking, then booked our flights…then the owner got in touch saying we had to move to a day later - our flights were already fixed. Eventually he agreed we could work with the original date. But communications were terse. I was concerned about finding the property as we were arriving late and previous reviews said it was difficult to find, but it was no problem. I asked the owner to ensure some water and fruit, for example, were left In the property as we would be very late arrivals. There was nothing left for us. We paid 35€ per room for towels and bedding - the info booklet at the property said towels would be changed mid week and bed linen after a week - and cleaning. This did not happen, despite me contacting the manager and owner, who said that no info booklet existed (?) and I would have to pay again per room if i wanted bedding changed - I even photographed the booklet - really disappointing! I had also asked if it was possible for some other pillows. That was a ignored. The pool filters did not seem to be running or the baskets cleared so I messaged to check - the owner told me to stop worrying about small stuff and enjoy my holiday…. Our aircon stopped working the day before we left - I messaged to report it and the manager rang to tell me where the trip switch was - this did not solve the problem and nothing else was done. Shame. ##### Trish B.

The drainage in showers need to be looked at as the base filled with water it didn’t drain away so you had a backwash of hair and do not know what else, not very pleasant, this was on all showers. I was told on the Sunday we needed to bring bedding and towels, I had not read this in the information so that was my fought I was shocked of having to pay extra to acquire the bedding for our stay, why would you travel on a plane with bedding, I was totally thrown apparently since Covid, we have to live with Covid it’s not goin When we arrived it was just left on the hall table we had to make our own beds, not what I would expect. The bedding and towels need to be updated, the bath towels almost like hand towels. The pillows were filled with cubed foam, most uncomfortable. The pool table on two of its sides there are patio doors, a complete accident one of the balls fell off the table bounced and went into the patio door cracking the window, so added insurance is essential in this property. The aircon went off several times had to phone for it to be rebooted. BBQ was not fit for purpose and filthy. There is an old fridge freezer in the kitchen which is broken and has been there since 2019 needs to be removed. The balcony upstairs off one of the bedrooms could do with some furniture so you could enjoy views of an evening. On the upside it was well stocked cutlery and crockery.

Guter Zuschnitt. Das Objekt müsste dringend einer Renovierung unterzogen werden, insbesondere die Außenküche. Manche Möbel und Küchenaustattung sind zu erneuern. Zu viele Katzen leben auf dem Grundstück. Unsere Wünsche wurden erfüllt, soweit machbar. ##### Annett E.

Die Beschreibung hat gepasst.Wer die Ruhe mag, ist mit dem Objekt bestens bedient. Wichtig ist, dass man motorisiert ist, da das Objekt sehr abgelegen liegt.Die Pool-Heizung hat sich gelohnt. So konnte man zu jeder Tageszeit baden.Auch die Klimaanlage war perfekt. So hat man nachts einen besseren Schlaf. Dadurch das man den Schlüssel über einen Safe mit PIN-Nummer bekommt, konnten wir das Haus noch spät abends beziehen und keiner musste noch auf uns warten.Wir können die Villa samt Anwesen auf jeden Fall empfehlen. ##### Bernd T.

Es entspricht alles den Bildern. Das Haus ist riesig und auch für mehrere Familien geeignet. Es war auch alles sauber aber dennoch sind einige Ecken und Sachen renovierungsbedürftig.

Es war einfach super. Wir waren 4 Golfer Damen zwischen 50-70 Jahre alt hatten 2 Autos gemietet. Das Haus liegt etwas versteckt in den Bergen, aber wenn man es erstmal weiß wo, ist es ganz einfach. Nicht genau nach Navi fahren. Das führt zu weit die "Straße" rauf wo man nur schwer wenden kann. Lieber nochmal beim Vermieter fragen. Riesen Grundstück mit reichlich Parkfläche. Das Haus: riesig!!! Jede von uns hatte ein eigenes Schlafzimmer mit Bad. Alles sehr sauber und im ausgezeichnetem Zustand. Es hab noch ein extra WC vom Wohnzimmer aus. Eine große Küche wo wir alle zusammen essen konnten und eine Küchenausstattung wie ich sie noch nie in einem Ferienhaus hatte. Es fehlte wirklich!! nichts. Sogar Brotdosen, die wir mit auf die Golfrunde nehmen konnten waren da. Waschmaschine... alles da. Und die Ruhe dort. Der Hammer!!! . Schöne große Terrasse wo wir auch gesessen haben. Den Billiardtisch haben wir nicht benutzt. Aber baden im Pool. . Wir schwärmen alle heute noch. Sehr netter Gastgeber per Email und seine Schwester vor Ort ist ein Schatz. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort hin. Vielen Dank für die schöne Woche. ##### Petra F.
