I had a couple of more than relaxing days here. The cottage is really nice and well equiped. Pool and Jacuzzi are amazing. And having dinner on the terrace while the sun sets is of stunning Beauty. Mel and Neill are perfect hosts. Hopefully I may be back in the future.

Mel and Niel are great host. House was just perfect for us. Only suggestion, better lighting in the kitchen area it’s a bit harsh !! Other than that minor detail … lived our time here.

it's a very nice house, perfect to discover rural Portugal in South Beja / North Algarve. situated privatly Really huge pool (appr. 14 x 5 m) perfect for frequent little cool downs on hot days

Just got back from a 10 day stay at this superb villa. it does exactly what it says on the packet - peaceful, relaxing, perfect, everything you could possibly want and more, attention to detail second to none. the villa itself is more than well equipped and the owners have ensured it is literally like a home from home - there was absolutely nothing we lacked for, including English TV should we have wanted it. we were emailed before our arrival to see what we would like from the shop but they also got us wine and beer too. Mel and Neill were there to greet us and explain everything and were on hand if we needed anything. there were even things to use in the pool which was cleaned twice during our stay (Mel turning up with homemade scones, jam and cream too!!) the hottub was amazing and there are 4 separate areas with dining tables and chairs. there are a few restaurants nearby and a good supermarket too. we never paid more that 3 euros for a bottle of wine and never had a bad bottle!! we used the BBQ three times and loved it. the shade from the tree was needed every day as temperatures were over 100 degrees every afternoon. the beds were the comfiest Ive ever slept in anywhere on holiday and we always had a good nights sleep as the air con units were superb. the pool was definitely NOT cold especially if you used the shower by the pool first before getting in, which you should do anyway and it was HUGE!! Amazing to swim laps in and also just to lazily float around. there wasnt another soul around for miles so it was the most peaceful holiday weve ever had. to say that Mel and Neill were the kindest most attentive hosts weve ever had would be an understatement! Nothing was too much trouble and all they wanted was to make sure we had everything we needed to make our holiday perfect - which it was. Even to the point where, as an animal lover, I fed a beautiful cat for several days then one day she turned up with two adorable kittens, which never ceased to make us laugh watching their antics. I didnt want to leave them but Mel and Neill, being animal lovers themselves having rescued three stray dogs and lots of beautiful parrots at their own home, offered to catch them and rehome them in their house - amazing and so kind hearted. All in all we can only say if you are wondering whether to book this villa, dont delay - peace, tranquillity, just like home, beautiful surroundings. we are already looking at dates for next year, a true treasure.
