Nature is on your doorstop. Saw lots of wildlife, spotted several birds I have never seen before.

A lovely villa, a wonderful pool and lots of peace and quiet. Excellent wifi, beautiful villa, English TV, what more could you want! If you wish to escape the hectic lifestyles we all seem to lead and enjoy blissful peace and quiet, then this is the ideal place for you. I would rather not let people know about this place and only did the review after making our booking for next year. The owners are really lovely and even supplied shopping for us when we arrived. I could drone on about how great this place is, but you won't believe me till you try it. Roll on next year! ##### Mike P.

The house is very well equipped. Jacuzzi is great. The pool is fantastic,so big! Just take care of white bikini (there's a product against algea that turns things yellow). We didn't meet the owners but they were always available by WhatsApp. They had prepared wine, cheese, bread, beers,etc... for our arrival. It was very kind. The only thing that disappointed me was the cleanliness in some parts of the house. The rubbish bin wasn't empty,they were spider webs, the kitchen cupboards were not very clean,etc... I only mentioned it when we left because we arrived late on Saturday night and they couldn't have done anything at this time (and I wanted to have a good communication during my stay.) My little 3 years girl plays on the floor and it was not possible to wait for someone to clean. So I did it. I told the owners when we left. They apologized but told me it was not a big deal. I didn't like this reaction. It's sad. We left the house cleaner that it was. ##### Sylvie G.

Schon der Empfang war sehr herzlich und wir bekamen einen Korb mit Leckereien, da muss man für den ersten Abend gar nicht einkaufen. Der Garten ist riesig und eingezäunt, so dass die Hunde freien Auslauf hatten. Das Haus liegt an der Schnellstrasse, nach hinten versetzt. Je nach Wind ist der Verkehr mehr oder weniger zu hören, aber man gewöhnt sich daran. Bei Problemen und Fragen sind die Vermieter jederzeit erreichbar! Den Pool und Whirlpool haben wir nicht benutzt, es war noch zu kalt(nachts). Doch beides wird wöchentlich gereinigt. Im Winter sind die Nächte noch sehr kalt, darum muss mit Holz gefeuert werden, das man beim Nachbar kaufen kann. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind innerhalb von 1-1,5 Stunden mit dem Auto erreichbar. Einkaufen kann man in Ourique, mit dem Auto 7 Min zu fahren Ich wäre sehr gerne noch länger geblieben, habe mich ins Land verliebt. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! ##### Carmen M. Stayed 42 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerd E. 11 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Erholsamer Urlaub in einem schönen Anwesen Das Ferienhaus für sich genommen entspricht dem, was man auf den Bildern sehen kann. Das Grundstück ist sehr groß und der Pool ist groß genug, um wirklich darin zu schwimmen. Das Haus liegt in der Nähe der IC1, einer Schnellstraße. Es liegt aber in einer Senke, so dass die Geräusche von der Straße uns zu keinem Zeitpunkt gestört haben. Ich würde die Lage daher als ruhig bezeichnen. Die Umgebung hat in einem Umkreis von 1 Stunde Autofahrt durchaus einiges zu bieten, sofern man kein Partyleben erwartet. Die touristische Infrastruktur ist - abgesehen von der Atlantikküste und natürlich der Algarve - überschaubar bis gar nicht vorhanden. Einkaufen kann man in Ourique, Restaurants mit portugiesischer Küche gibt es einige im näheren Umkreis. Es wird eine einfache Küche geboten. Meist sind es Fleischgerichte, wobei das Fleisch aus der näheren Umgebung stammt, sehr hochwertig ist und sorgfältig zubereitet (meist gegrillt) wird. Die Beilagen fallen demgegenüber deutlich ab. Die Vermieter stammen aus England, sind ausgesprochen freundlich und haben uns mit einer liebevoll zusammengestellten Erstausstattung für Abendessen und Frühstück überrascht. Wir werden wieder kommen. ##### Gerd E.

Perfect for families or couples looking for undisturbed relaxation . We feel fully recharged . The pool was lovely and the jacuzzi an added bonus for those cooler evenings drinking wine and enjoying the stars . Thank you both Mel & Neil Henry & Emma Gosport Hampshire ##### Emma F.

Um local muito sossegado para descansar... A piscina é excelente! Boas condições para levar um bebé.

The pool is simply fantastic and reading or simply relaxing with the sound of birds is very peaceful. The internet connection is of good quality. The owners are very friendly and available to help and make us feel at home. ##### Carlos C. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2020 ---
