Jewel in the Crown
Lovely quiet holiday in the country, and still on the Algarve, not an English breakfast or fish and chips in sight, the accommodation is great and suited us well, plenty of room to site out on the patio's and enjoy the sunshine. It's a five mile drive to get to the shops so a car is a necessity, there is a little Portuguese cafe / bar just down the road that does nice coffee. Mary the owner who lives next door can not do enough for you. We had four weeks there and can not wait to go back. Thank you Mary for looking after us. Peter.

Our Stay in the countryside
Mary, our host , was helpful and obliging. Leo, the golden retriever, was a bonus - our dog's best friend from morning to night. Accommodation - well equipped with good wifi & satellite TV. Cold for our winter stay with just a log fire (you need to buy the logs from town - €90 for the month). We bought an electric heater. The house is private and the overall setting is peaceful. Minor points: Few things need attention - broken locks, lighting system in the bedroom. Also pictures and plants to give a more homely feel. Nice if the grass on the driveway had been cut. There is a messy network of electric fencing in front of the property (not beautiful) that discourages walking around the ample property. A replacement post and rail fence would be wonderful. Overall we had a great time.

Schönes und grosszügiges Landhaus in der Natur, gute Lage!
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche im Landhaus mitten in der Natur. Es ist sehr günstig gelegen um Ausflüge sowohl an die Küste Nähe Lagos als auch an die Strände der Westküste zu unternehmen. Wir haben im Haus alles vorgefunden, was wir brauchten und haben auch gern mal etwas gekocht in der grossen Küche. Sogar eine Knoblauchpresse 😊 war da. Schöne grosse Terrasse um abends nach den Ausflügen in Ruhe entspannen zu können. Mary ist eine sehr nette Lady, sie wohnt direkt im Haus nebenan und ist bei Bedarf jederzeit ansprechbar und sehr hilfsbereit, ganz herzlichen Dank nochmal für die tolle Zeit!

Maria ist sehr herzlich, gastfreundlich und jeder Zeit erreichbar. Wir waren mit einem Baby und 2 Hunden vor Ort und hatten immer super Kontakt mit den Tieren die die dort leben. Es gibt viel Platz um den eigenen Hunden genug Auslauf zu geben. Wir waren in der Winterzeit dort und zur Info, es könnten für die Heizung extrakosten anfallen.

Beautiful place in a quiet area
We spent three weeks at this wonderful place with our dog. Mary is the perfect host, very friendly, caring and helpful. Our dog enjoyed the company of Leo and Tommy. It is the perfect place to relax and starting point for daily hiking activities around the southwestern algarve.

A perfect place for a quiet and relaxing holiday
The house was very beautiful and quiet. Mary is living in the house near by and was super friendly and caring. We had everything we needed to cook something in the big kitchen and then eating on the terrace with a nice view over the rough landscape. It’s a very special place if you’re searching for a place to relax and watch the stars at night. Absolutely perfect!

Grande maison à la campagne
Nous avons bien aimé cette grande maison (100 m2) à la campagne, non isolée. Belle cuisine aménagée, coin salle à manger, très grand canapé dans le salon. Cheminée à bois. Grande chambre avec lit de 135 cm de large (il manque un chauffage d'appoint en hiver), grande salle d'eau. Serviettes de toilette à volonté, couettes, oreillers, coussins très propres. Terrasse au soleil avec table, chaises et chaises-longues. La maison des hôtes est toute proche. Les deux grands chiens sont très gentils et nous ont laissé faire la grasse-matinée tous les jours. Il n'y a plus le poney et l'âne 😓. La ville de Lagos est à 5 kms ainsi que ses incroyables plages et falaises. Merci à Mary pour sa gentillesse.

Schönes großes Ferienhaus
Uns hat das Haus und die Lage gut gefallen. Fast jeden Tag wurden wir von dem Esel direkt vor unserem Haus geweckt. Die Kinder haben sich gefreut, dass es einen Esel, Katzen und zwei große Hunde gab, die alle sehr lieb sind. Je nach Windrichtung hört man die Schnellstraße und auch Discomusik aus dem Ort. Die Ausstattung des Hauses war gut. Jedoch haben in der Küche Töpfe und funktionierende Pfannen gefehlt. Es gab leider nur einen Topf und zwei Pfannen, die aber nicht mehr nutzbar waren, da defekt. Ansonsten können wir das Haus und auch die nette Vermieterin Mary sehr weiterempfehlen. Wir haben hier ein paar schöne Tage verbracht.

We stayed at Mary's place for two weeks in April 2022. What a lovely place, perfect for everyone who wants to let their mind wander and relax. Beautiful landscape and a lot of beaches even on the west coast are easy to reach. If you travel with dog, there is nothing better. The huge compound is totally enhanced and your dog will have Mary's dogs as companions. The cute donkey will enjoy the carrots you offer him ;.-) Mary is a wonderful landlord/host, always helpful and caring and leaves you to yourself if you don't need anything! Hundred per cent recommendable
