We spent many evenings of our 2 weeks on the back veranda having dinner and enjoying the outdoors. We took advantage of the fig tree on the property as well as the lime tree. The location was perfect - close to local supermarkets and roadways for our daily outings to the many towns and beaches in the area. The five separate bedrooms along with their respective on suites were perfect for our large group/family. Maddy and Richard answered all of our needs during our stay.

Our two weeks here were spent enjoying the pool, relaxing on the terrace, enjoying family meals and exploring the many sights of the Algarve. The villa is the perfect home away from home for a large group. The outside space is excellent for spending time together and also offers ample space to spread out and catch a quiet corner on the terrace. Casa Mandovi is well appointed with everything you could need. Maddy and Richard were helpful hosts and were on hand if we needed anything. The location is perfect for the whole family, close enough to the local towns, beaches and water parks with ample choice of excellent restaurants. The views down the valley are breathtaking and were hard to leave behind when our stay came to an end. ##### Michelle R.

We were 5 adults and 4 children ages between 2 and 11 years old. Casa Mandovi is a stunningly beautiful property with a large garden and a warm, inviting swimming pool. The property has an outside terrace and a patio furnished comfortably and perfect for cool evening dining and after-dinner conversations. The bedrooms and bathrooms and large clean and comfortable. Most importantly Richard and Madeline are superlative hosts. Madeline was very understanding and accommodating considering we had 4 young children. She did not have to, but she did her very best to give us early check-in, heat the pool and keep it heated for when we came and she gave us a host of information on the best local supermarkets, eateries and beaches. She even offered to go to the supermarket for us and stock the refrigerator with essentials if we needed it. Richard responded to all of our requests promptly and came out to the property in the middle of our stay when we expressed a need. They were easy to contact, prompt and responsive to our myriad questions and requests. The children particularly found it very difficult to readjust to real life in the UK after having the most wonderful time at Casa Mandovi. We would love to go back and explore the area while staying at beautiful Casa Mandovi. ##### Nandini S.

From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the spacious layout and elegant design. Every detail felt thoughtfully planned, creating both comfort and a sense of luxury.The outdoor lounging areas were a highlight—plenty of space to relax, soak up the sun, and take in the beautiful landscape surroundings. The pool was pristine and perfectly sized for both swimming and lazy afternoons floating under the sun. Inside, the villa offered ample room for everyone, yet still felt warm and inviting.This villa truly made my trip unforgettable.

The property was beautiful and the hosts were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would consider renting there again next time we are in Portugal.

What a lovely property, and owners. We are happy that it’s a bit out of town (short drive), which adds to the feeling of tranquility. ##### H Z.

The outdoors and the view exceeded all expectations but the whole villa is tasteful, stylish and well equipped. It is only a short distance by car to excellent beaches and good restaurants. Fabulous. ##### Gill M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lesley P. 11 Aug 2018 #### One word - fantastic The villa is stunning - everything you could possibly need to make for a wonderful holiday and a real home from home. The views, extensive outside space and the gardens are fabulous. It is a very peaceful location but only about a five minute drive to Almancil town centre. Heidi, the host, was brilliant throughout our stay and nothing was too much trouble. ##### Lesley P.

Easy check in with lots of great recommendations for restaurants and area attractions. The house was beautiful and worked well for our family vacation. Access to various beaches and restaurants was a breeze. Though not on the beach just a short drive to everything. Definitely recommend. Quality experience - beyond expectations! Many thanks to Maddy and Richard! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy H. 1 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas in Portugal A fabulous family Christmas spent at this amazing villa. The property is well appointed and beautifully furnished with obvious care & love by the owners. Indoor space is ideal for family living and we particularly enjoyed watching a movie in the cinema room after a poolside barbecue on Christmas Day. Lovely pool, beautiful gardens and loads of outdoor space to relax in the shade or soak up the sun. Would highly recommend - it’s stunning! ##### Cathy H.

The location is ideal. 5 minutes from downtown with supermarkets and cafes. We traveled to towns east and west and it really was perfectly situated for seeing the Algarve. The house is fabulous with a wonderful outdoors for lounging and eating. The views of the hillsides and ocean are spectacular. Don’t miss Bean17 in Loule. We had a hard time finding the perfect cafe with great coffee and it wasn’t until the last day that we discovered this gem. Another nice local place was Ambrosia, 3 minutes from the house. We had New Years Eve here and the food was really nice and Sylvia was a wonderful host. So much more to say about this wonderful area. I can’t wait to go back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle R. 8 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Stunning Holiday Setting We spent two weeks at this stunning villa. It really is spectacular and exceeded all our expectations. The setting is wonderful, breathtaking views down the valley to the sea. The villa is a perfect combination of luxury and comfort with a stylish yet homely feel. It’s very well appointed with everything you could need. We particularly enjoyed the pool, hours of fun for the whole family! To our delight we discovered the small roof terrace where we enjoyed several evenings watching a magical sunset. The villa is well located to explore all that the Algarve has to offer. During our stay we went to Louie, Vilamoura, Tavira, Vale de Lobo and Faro to name but a few. The beautiful beaches are within easy reach. The nearby town of Almancil has all you need for day to day living, supermarket, shooed, cafe, pharmacy. Lots of wonderful restaurants nearby also. Without a doubt the best family holiday we have ever had! We would go back in a heartbeat. ##### Michelle R. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2021 ---
