Ondina, our host, was a very pleasant and friendly lady with whom communications in English were excellent. She was there to greet us at the agreed check in time and showed us into the house where the air conditioning provided relief from the 30 plus degree heat outside. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and quite modern with lots of space in the kitchen, dining and lounge areas. All the hardware we needed for our self catering stay was provided. We found several good supermarkets within a five to twenty minute drive.The house adjoins other buildings which together enclose three sides of a large paved courtyard. The fourth side is primarily filled by a large gate which is locked every nIght. Very secure!One of the other buildings is a house occupied by Deolinda and Gilberto, Ondina’s elderly parents. Like their daughter they are nice, friendly people. They don’t speak English and their presence is completely non intrusive, but they will try to have a chat with you if you want. We tried a few times and it was great fun, a mixture of English, Portuguese, and gestures. Highly recommended!My wife and I thought this was a really good place to stay. Ondina and her parents were great. The house was fine and roomy. We had the quiet of the countryside, the proximity to the coast, the central position on the Algarve with Sagres 65 minutes west, Spain 45 minutes east. What’s not to like?Would we come back? Yes!Would we recommend Flower Country House by the Sea? Yes!

We loved the quieter setting away from the busy areas of the city and beaches, however everything was so close in driving distance that we could be at a beach in 10-15 minutes and we could get to hiking trails easily as well. The owner of our unit Ondina was very friendly and easily reachable by text message and very quick at responding to any questions or inquiries we had. Ondina’s parents live right in the locked gated area we were in and they are very pleasant and helpful, we had a language barrier as we do not speak Portuguese and they do not speak English but we would use a translation app and it worked out great. We would highly recommend this unit and hope to go back again in the future

It was well presented, equipped, everything worked as it should, and well positioned to access the wider Algarve. Great value.

We had pleasant and functional stay. In the house-name Mrs. Ondina suggest a nice loacation. That is misleading! and view by the words
