We loved the property, and would recommend it and the region to anyone looking for relaxing break.

Wonderful stay. Thank you for hosting us.

Fantastic stay in a lovely house with a nice pool and a great view on the surrounding hills. The pictures are realistic, what you see is what you get. Lots of privacy, very quiet and peaceful.The communication with our host Martin was excellent. He responds real quick. 100% satisfied !

Negatives:Towels, bedding and outside furniture are dated (one leg fell off the outside table every time it was moved). The shower curtain needs replacing. Pans, crockery and cutlery need a good clean (we cleaned sufficient for our needs and left those items clean). With a few small updates and a bit of cleaning, this would be a great place to stay.Positives:Marten is a nice fellow and quick with his communication replies and lives close by. The location is great if you want peace and quiet, privacy and great views. It's about 1.5km from Garvao which has some facilities and only around 12km from Ourique with its supermarkets and greater choice of restaurants and bars.The ceiling fan was a bonus in the scorching weather we had.The pool is good for a proper swim (it's about 10m long).Good wifi signal and mobile phone reception.Advisory.The villa is accessible via rough, stony and dusty tracks. We found access a little easier from the southern side of Garvao.
