What an amazing place. Incredibly beautiful, spacious and peaceful and perfect for a group of our size (6 adults, 3 small children). The pool, trampoline and boule areas were such a lot of fun and the garden itself a thing of incredible beauty. And Rene was a very comforting presence when we needed him.The tiniest of moans would be about the dishwasher that needs some work, a smell that hung around one of the bathrooms, and what was possibly a wasps' nest near the pool, but Rene was there to help out on each occasion even if the problems didn't entirely go away. But that's the down side - and there was so much upside, not least being so close to lovely Fuseta and its beach... Wholly recommended...

We had a wonderful week in this absolutely gorgeous villa. The pool and gardens are even better than shown in the photos. Plenty to keep our whole family happy - 8 adults and 3 young children. The children loved the trampoline and we all enjoyed the fab pool. Rene was friendly, welcoming and helpful from our initial booking until we left. We were all sad to go and would love to go back.

Amazing place, great host

This property is incredible. Its super clean, well decorated and has been thoughtfully prepared for guests. I highly recommend.We were a large group (5 families for a part of our stay) so we rented the entire property - 2 self-contained units (upstairs/downstairs) with 3 bedrooms each and a separate little cottage with a double bed. We had young kids with us so we really appreciated the childproofing at the house. The upstairs patio is well fenced and has gates at the top of each stairs. The pool area is separated from the house side of the garden by a gated fence that runs the entire length of the garden. The highlight is the large pool, which is very clean and well maintained, with lots of comfortable loungers. And the garden is just beautiful - there is an orange grove and also fig, avocado, lemon trees and more, a swing set, a nice lawn area and a little covered table in the middle ... just perfect.Both units in the main house have been recently remodeled and are decorated to a high standard, with lots of original character and traditional touches retained. Overall the upstairs unit is better - mainly because the kitchen is bigger, the main room is brighter and the upstairs bedrooms have air-conditioning while the downstairs do not. Having said that, the downstairs bedrooms were larger. The kitchens were well stocked with great appliances. Great separate laundry room. The internet connection was OK - for work on a VPN connection only 1 person could be on it at a time - but for regular web surfing it was fine. We didnt use the little cottage - its cute and nicely done but probably doesnt get much use.The house is about 25 minutes from Faro airport, about 20 minutes from Tavira (both the town and Barril beach on Ilha da Tavira, reached by train - great outing for small kids) and driving to other beaches along the Algarve was easy.Overall, I would highly recommend - a great base to explore the Algarve from and a perfect private retreat.
