Secluded Mountain-View Modern Cottage with Private Pool - Close to Everything!
About this cottage rental
Upon reaching Villa Jasmin's impressive wrought iron front gates, there is pleasant stretch up a winding driveway that is surrounded by lush and well tended indigenous greenery on either side, that ends with a lovely cottage at the top. It's set on a hilltop with gorgeous mountain and valley views which stretch up to the ocean. Surrounded by a large, lovingly attended private garden of palm and bamboo trees that includes a fish pond with waterfall. There is a shaded deck with bar-bq and outdoor seating for 6, that overlooks the stunning, modern swimming pool. Sunbathe on the loungers or just rest and relax in this beautiful, natural setting. The cottage is over 2000 sf (185 sm) of bright, sunny, air-conditioned living space. It has a huge living and dining area with a 20' vaulted ceiling that is centred around a traditional brick fireplace. There are large sliding doors out to the pool and deck from the dining area. In the low season, we offer a wood burning fireplace with logs which are provided for our guests to help create a cozy atmosphere. After a day at the golf course it's a nice feature to come home to when the weather is cooling down at night. It has 2 bedrooms with American Queen-size beds (60" x 80" / 152 cm x 203 cm). Both rooms have ensuite bathrooms with closets for clothing storage. One bathroom has a tub with shower while the other has a deluxe shower featuring seating, music and massage for a lovely end of the day spa! The cottage is a quick 8-10 minute drive to the town of Loule (all guests must rent a car) and 20 minutes to various beaches, golfing and loads of other activities. Whether your interest might be shopping for local wares such as Portuguese ceramics or leather goods or perusing European boutiques, exploring small towns and seeing sites, discovering the great food Loule and its surrounding areas have to offer, doing sports, finding activities for the kids or just taking the sun at the many beaches that are in the vicinity, this cottage has close proximity to it all!

Fantastic hosts and a wonderful cottage. The location up in the hills but still within a 15 minute drive (5 minutes from Loule) of the coastal resorts gives the best of both worlds. The cottage has no near neighbours so if you are wanting a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of resorts, as we were, this is perfect. There is a plethora of good restaurants within Loule and Almancil within a 10 minute drive and the shopping centre of Mar Algarve gave our fashion conscious daughter a good choice of clothes shops to keep her busy for a couple of hours. I took the opportunity to hire a road bike and the cycling routes up and down the hills right from the door step was better than being in Yorkshire. For what we needed for a holiday this was nothing but perfect and we will be returning in the future.

This home is the perfect example of the "guest house". I could live here full time! It is adjacent to the main house, but the property owner was never seen nor detected. Very private and well appointed, comfortable furniture.
The groundskeeper greeted us and gave us a quick walk through upon arrival and then disappeared, not to be seen again. She was nice enough but nothing worse than feeling like you are at someone elses house with them poking up here and there around the grounds - didn't happen here.
It is a gated, secure property in the countryside north of Loule'. Easy access to grocery stores, Loule' and the beaches. The dogs that roamed the grounds were a welcome treat, stopping in peiodically to make sure we were ok.
For us it was just my wife and myself and while the house can easily accommodate up to four, the kitchen isn't conducive to a large family meal preparation - why would you will all the great restaurants in the area? But it does have a coffee maker, mini refrigerator, microwave and a toaster oven instead of a regular oven. We made due just fine and would not recommend letting that stop anyone from this lovely location.
We would not only recommend this to anyone exploring this portion of the Algarve, but will likely stay here again during our next visit.

We loved Villa Jasmin. This was our first trip to Portugal and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The villa is charming, with a lovely outdoors area, great ambiance. We spent one day of our 6 day stay just laying by the pool, barbequing the fish we picked up at the Loule market and enjoying Portuguese wine. Every morning, Rex and Ginger (local friendly dogs) came to visit. We frequently saw them around the property. The location of Villa Jasmin was perfect. We made trips to Evora, Tavira, Faro, Albufiera and Lagos only to arrive back at Villa Jasmin in the evening. We ate twice in Loule, once at Barbacoa and once on a food tour. We highly recommend both. The arrival process was easy and we experienced no issues. Nutan provided good instruction regarding the house, the area and places to visit. We hope to come back some day

The bed in the room behind the kitchen is a little on the hard side, so it would be great if this could be replaced. All in all a great stay for us and we would love to come back!

We were a little disappointed
The cottage is well situated in the hills and it is easy to visit different places in Algarve from there. We found it very noisy: dogs barking night and day; cottage is on Faro airport standard departure route, lot of noise due to air traffic. Windows have no shutters and it is too bright in the morning. We found the kitchen not functional enough. A/C is available only in the main living room.

Super schönes Haus mit tollem Garten
Wir haben 11 Tage im Ferienhaus verbracht und uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Sehr gepflegter, großer Garten und hübscher Pool. Drinnen ist es abends geräumig und sehr gemütlich.
Gingers Besuche haben uns auch sehr gefreut.

Óptimo espaço para relaxar no Algarve
Óptimo espaço, bem equipado e com muito bom gosto na decoração. A Villa corresponde exatamente ao anúncio, localizada numa zona calma e tranquila, porém é necessário carro para aceder às praias mais próximas. Viajámos com um bebé e foram fornecidos todos os equipamentos necessários, berço, cadeira...
A zona de refeições e grelhador junto à piscina é óptima para convívio entre amigos e família.
Voltaremos certamente

Schönes Objekt Abseits des Trubels
Wir haben 5 Tage in dem Objekt verbracht und haben jede Minute genossen. Es liegt sehr schön abgeschieden, abseits der Touristenströme. Hier findet man seine Ruhe und kann ungestört alles geniesen. Das Haus ist sehr groß und zweckdienlich eingerichtet. Einen Geschirrspüler haben wir nicht wirklich vermisst, dafür wäre ein Ständer für einen Sonnenschirm sehr wünnschenswert gewesen. Aber der sehr schöne Pool hat immer für ausreichend Abkühlung gesorgt. Auf jeden Fall ist man auf ein Auto angewiesen, da wirklich gar nichts Fußläufig ereichbar ist. Dafür sind mit einem Fahrzeug von hier aus alle Besorgungen und Ausflüge gut durchzuführen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können das ganze absolut weiterempfehlen. Vielen dank auch an Iryna (Hausmeisterin/Verwalterin) und Ihre Familie, welche uns immer sehr gut weitergeholfen haben.

tolle große, geschmackvoll eingerichtete Villa mit großem Pool und Außenbereich
Wir hatten ein paar sehr erholsame Tage in dieser wundervollen Unterkunft. Die Villa ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und der Pool sowie das Grundstück sind ein Traum! Auch die täglichen Besuche von Ginger - dem Haushund - haben unseren Kindern und uns viel Freude bereitet. Die Küche ist zwar im Verhältnis zur Villa recht klein (ohne Ofen und Geschirrspüler sowie nur ein Herd mit zwei Kochbereichen) - dafür haben wir aber den tollen, neuen, großen Gasgrill umso mehr genutzt (auch zum Pizzabacken :-)). Wir können diese Unterkunft nur wärmstens empfehlen und werden hoffentlich bald nochmal wiederkommen.

We really liked this house particularly because it was so quiet and private. It is located on a substantial estate, accessed by locked gates but tucked away from the main house with its own garden and pool. The décor is Moorish in style, very smart and well furnished. The main reception room has a fireplace and high ceiling and lots of space to sit and read or watch TV. The kitchen was a little on the small side but had a separate oven and there was a BBQ on the patio so we had enough facilities to cook. The bedrooms were charming and each had a generous smart bathroom. The main advantage is the outside, a very pretty landscaped garden and stunning pool. We enjoyed spending time sitting by the pool, eating on the patio, watching the wide variety of birds who visited the water feature on a regular basis.
The location was excellent, quiet and peaceful but near to Loule which is a lovely town, good shopping and restaurants. Faro airport is convenient( a car is essential) and it is well positioned for exploring both the Eastern Algarve(Ria Formosa, great for quieter beaches, wildlife) and the West(rugged, dramatic cliffs, less developed). Despite it being peak holiday season, there were plenty of quieter places to visit, mainly used by Portugese holidaymakers.
We also liked the feeling of security provided by the locked gates and the presence of the friendly caretaker(Irina) on the estate who was always available to help with any queries or problems. The owner Nutan Khanna was easy to communicate with and very helpful with information on directions and shopping.
We would highly recommend this villa for peacefulness, the pretty, private garden and pool, smart interior, security, together with easy access to good locations for shopping, entertainment and lovely beaches.

Schöner Aufenthalt mit der Familie an der Algarve
Das Objekt entspricht vollumfänglich der Beschreibung und den Fotos. Es ist idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge an der Algarve um Land und Leute kennenzulernen. Das Haus ist groß, insgesamt gepflegt und bietet einen tollen Pool.
Die Entfernungen nach Faro (Flughafen), Albufeira und Vilamoura betragen rd. 20 min mit dem Auto (Pkw ist aber auch erforderlich!) Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Loulé: ca. 10 min.
Der Pool ist wunderbar, der Garten groß und sehr gepflegt. Man hat hier wirklich siene Ruhe.
Wir fühlten uns durch die Verwalterin sehr gut betreut. Für unsere Kinder waren die täglichen Besuche der Haushündin "Ginger" das tägliche Highlight! Selten habe wir ein liebenswerteres Haustier kennengelernt.
Wenn man hier überhaupt etwas zu kritisieren hat, dann sind das Kleinigkeiten - so wäre natürlich ein Geschirrspüler toll, oder die Pflege der Schiebefenster, damit sich diese leichter öffnen lassen. Auch könnten die Auflagen der Sonnenliegen mal wieder erneuert werden und das WiFi eine höhere Reichweite haben.
Alles in allem haben wir aber einen super Urlaub verbracht und würden wiederkommen!

Not 0.1K from Loule! Just under 5K so you definitely need a car. Beautiful location. Irini (housekeeper) helpful and lovely! Drove us to supermarket or we would have been stuck. Kitchen needs urgent attention- no oven! Only 2 gas hob. Really dated and not terribly clean- likewise the bathrooms and bbq. Mattress in 4 poster very comfy, bed at back of house like sleeping on rock! All said would definitely go back as ticks so many boxes. Totally secluded and quiet, pool gorgeous and beautiful gardens and fish pond. Stunning. A very relaxing 4 day break and wish we could have stayed on longer. Loule a great town with authentic cuisine in many restaurants. Cobble stones and quaint shops- amazing market on a Saturday too- lots of handbags etc! If the owner got the kitchen updated, mattress changed and was a little more vigilant about the cleanliness this property would be perfect in every way in my opinion. We will be back!

Fantastic hide away with private pool
Great stay, on of the best on our tour throughout Portugal. Clean, safe and very friendly. Great value. The property and the pool was well maintained and lovely, the house very spacious. Our daughter fell in love with Ginger (the dog :-) the moment we arrived. It was sweet how it came to visit us every now and then and made us feel part of the family. The owners live next door, meeting them was delightful. Very friendly people. Yet the property offers perfect privacy, as if we very alone in the magnificent garden. We very much enjoyed or stay, for us it was a home away from home. Very recommendable. Thank you for your hospitality. We surely will be back. Katja, Steve and Lili.

Attractively staged property, secluded and quiet. However, not so keen on the wildlife both outside and inside the property. Mosquitoes, ants and geckos had made their way inside the property. As a single lady, sharing my bedroom with a largish green gecko made me slightly uneasy even though i'm sure it was more scared of me than i was of it! There were also a few maintenance issues, including a wardrobe door hanging off, a broken sunbed and a loose handle on the bbq. Also, the shower cubicle and kitchen sink could do with a really good scrub and descale. But we enjoyed our week exploring the pleasant town of Loule and the property itself was visually stunning. A car is definitely needed as there is nowhere to visit within walking distance.

Very relaxing
We really enjoyed our holidays there. It's a really beautiful house with a beautiful garden, it was really relaxing. You got all you need to cooks there. We enjoyed our BBQ near the pool :)
The only problems were the wifi connection and the fact that there is too much light in the rooms on the morning.
Thank you very much.

Ideal location to visit the Algarve
The property is located in the hills overlooking Loule in the central ALGARVE...a convenient location for touring the ALGARVE east to west. Loule has everything in terms of shopping, as well as some interesting sights to visit.
Quiet yet convenient, the property is away from the busy towns, and is only eclipsed by the charm of the owners and their on site property managers.
We would highly recommend this property for short or extended stays.

Gorgeous property, loved the location
Villa Jasmin is as beautiful as the pictures. Spacious with lovely rooms and all the amenities. It was easy to drive to all the fun day trips of the Algarve and nice to get back to a gorgeous pool and gardens. Drinks and dinner on the patio or dining 10 minutes away in Loule - what could be better. We are seasoned travellers who look for local experience. We would recommend Villa Jasmin

Highly recommended and a delight.
We were met by the owners upon arrival and shown all the amenities. They were very personable and gave us good information about the area and even drove us over to the shopping area in the local town. The property itself is very comfortable , private and the landscape is magnificent. A very peaceful retreat for a couple or more. We enjoyed every day we were there and found it convenient to the local attractions. Highly recommended.

Amazing Rental property and location to explore the Algarve
Nutan's rental cottage is one of the single greatest HomeAway places I have found in the past years. It is situated just outside the town of Loule in the hills overlooking the coast. It is peaceful, inviting, clean and tastefully decorated. The location is perfectly suited for exploring the Algarve - you are close to everything and yet you are able to relax in your own private oasis. The house is perfectly shown and described and we felt right at home for a week at this amazing location. If you are going to travel to Southern Portugal and want a dream location to stay - look no further - this is it.
For beach lovers and adventure seekers - Explore the coastline between Praia De Albendeira and Praia Do Carvalho -(about a 35 minute drive from the cottage) it's a stretch that goes for about 8 km and contains what I believe are 7 of the best beaches in the world. This section is right next to the town of Carvoeiro which has one of our favorite restaurants Le Cro owned by a wonderful couple and offers some of the best food we found. Also pay close attention to the town of Benegil which has a great restaurant O Pescador. This section also contains some of the best hiking and cliff jumping in the area.

Spacious Lovely Cottage and Pool
We had a lovely stay at Villa Jasmin enjoying the spacious accommodation, pool, views, privacy and seclusion. The barbeque was very efficient and with the superb weather we mostly ate outside, while supermarkets were just a 7 minute drive away. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful if we required any assistance. Vilamoura and other areas of interest just a 25 minute drive.

one of the best experiences
What a wonderful house to stay. It had all the infrastructure you would want for a perfect holiday. The surroundings were very beautiful, the house was clean and the quality was above expectations. Furthermore all the people were very helpful. This is a must do when you want to stay in the area. And I´m sure i will be going back
