Traditional property and furnishings, sharing drive/parking with adjoining residential property. Self contained with all amenities. Comfortable bed, excellent shower, clean pool. Needs additional plug sockets in kitchen to save re plugging appliances and perhaps at this price a welcome pack ...bread/wine/cheese etc. ? Residential neighbours (Maria) helpful and friendly with bonus of Minnie the dog. Good restaurant 3 minutes walk up the road. Supermarkets within 5 minutes drive. No local bars.

Proper Portugal
Nice original semi detached property in a good location. Although I had difficulty finding the property, one phone call to the owners farther soon put me right. Perfect for my wife and myself for a relaxing week. Our only wish was that we could have done with a umbrella around the pool apart from that, perfect.

The accommodation was adequate. Bed was amazing and so was shower !! The things that were lacking were any information on using micro oven, heating in the bedroom as November nights a bit chilly and cleaning equipment etc . Having said that Maria was brilliant even though no English was spoken !!! My limited Portuguese got us through and Mimi was a welcome guest every morning !! Thanks for a lovely week on a much needed holiday.

Lovely relaxing holiday
We loved this property a very quaint Algarve cottage well equipped, the bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in on holiday. The pool was very clean and inviting, plus we haven’t been to this part of the Algarve before but we would certainly love to come back.

A quiet getaway
A quiet rural location where you can relax. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable with a dip in the pool rewarding after a day in the sun. Two good local, walking distance, restaurants which we visited on the majority of the nights. Half an hour to great beaches & not too crowded just out of season. Recommended.
