Restaurierten Bauernhaus mit privatem Pool, Panoramablick und großem Garten

Das alte, sehr schön hergerichtete Bauernhaus liegt fast oben auf dem höchsten Berg der Gegend am Rand eines kleinen Dorfes jenseits von allem Trubel. Es grenzt mit seiner Rückseite an ein Haus aus dem Dorf an, was keine Rolle spielt, da das eigene Grundstück abseits vom Dorf liegt und nicht eingesehen werden kann. Von Faro erreicht man das Haus in 25 Minuten mit dem Auto. Der Blick vom sehr großzügigen Pool Bereich, den alle Erwachsenen und Kinder liebten, ins bergige Hinterland ist grandios. Von der Dachterasse aus sieht man Faro und das Meer. Die sehr hilfsbereite, englische Besitzerin hatte vor unserer frühen Ankunft den Kühlschrank mit allerlei Getränken und Lebensmitteln auffüllen lassen, so dass wir uns gleich willkommen fühlten. Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist liebevoll mit vielen persönlichen Details und es gibt genug Platz für 6 Personen. Wir haben unseren 14tägigen Aufenthalt sehr genossen und bestimmt die Hälfte der Zeit im und am Haus verbracht. Der an den Pool angrenzende Garten ist ebenfalls super und bietet genug Platz für (Ball) Spiele aller Art. Den Sonneruntergang und den Aufgang des Sternenhimmels mit Blick in die Ferne am Pool zu genießen, ist ein Highlight. Restaurants und Supermäkte erreicht man mit dem Auto in 15-20 Minuten. Im nächsten Dorf gibt es eine kleine Bar, die wir allerdings nie besucht hatten. Läufer kommen auch auf ihre Kosten. Man kann wunderbare 5 und 10km Runden auf kleinen Wegen und Pfaden um die angrenzenden Berge machen. Angst vor Hunden sollte man in Portugal allerdings nicht haben, da uns diese bei unseren täglichen Läufen im Umland jedes Mal bellend ein paar Meter begleitet haben. Keine Sorge, die wollen wirklich alle nur spielen :-) Wir können das Haus sehr empfehlen!

We stayed here only a few weeks ago.

We arrived not knowing really what to expect as this was the first time we had ventured away from a resort and we were not disappointed.

The pictures don’t do this property justice at all. It is much bigger than we expected, perfect because we were a large party of 4 adults and 2 children.

Angie gave us a very detailed list of what to expect at the property.

This villa is quite a way out from everything so a car is absolutely necessary. We only hired a 5 seater for essential journeys but found with the help of Paul who runs the cafe/bar down the hill a very helpful and reliable taxi driver for fun days out.

The pool provided much fun and a welcome cool down from the heat for our family but particularly my 8 year old granddaughter.

Whilst it doesn’t have air con we did find a fan for every bedroom which was invaluable and the ceiling fan in the living room was surprisingly effective.

Portugal is a wonderful country and all of the people we encountered were very friendly and helpful.

If you are looking for a relaxing break away from all the stresses of life this place is absolutely ideal.

Thank you Angie!

We enjoyed a wonderful 10 days staying in the old farmhouse. The location is only 20 minutes from the airport, up in the hills with very little close by. The views from the rear of the property are fabulous.

The booking process and communication with the owners Angie and John were really easy and smooth. During our stay we needed to contact them as we had a slight issue and it was dealt with straight away.

The property itself has thick stone walls and stone floors so was nice and cool inside however hot it got outside. Being Portugal in June we didn't really take any warmer clothes so ended up lighting the log burner in the lounge in the evenings which was so cosy.

The pool was a great size and we were pleased that we decided to pay the additional cost to have it heated as the children could literally stay in all afternoon if they wanted to.

There was plenty of stuff in the kitchen and also lots of things not listed such as inflatables for the pool, buckets and spades, balls, kids toys, cool bag, freezer blocks etc all of which made life easier.

We would recommend this property. It's not the modern type of property we've stayed in on previous holidays but was a rustic, charming old house that we thoroughly enjoyed staying in.

Matching the stunning location this villa ticks all the boxes for the most relaxing yet still adventurous holiday as you explore the Algarve. The villa as everything you need is very spacious with every kind of amenity you require. We could not smile wide enough when ee arrived knowing that our expectations had been met and then some. If i have one negative the shower in the master bedroom needs updating but it did not detract from my stay in a most wonderful place

Thank You Angie & John for making our 2017 holiday so special.

Best Regards Phil and family

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Travelled with a one and five year old and the property catered for them both. Lovely swimming pool - paddling pool is a bonus when you have young children! Quiet, peaceful area - a welcome escape from everyday life! We couldn't fault the property at all, or the level of service provided by the owners. Thank you for a fantastic holiday!
