Immaculate!
We had an amazing family and friends holiday. This house is extremely well equipped, modern and very arty interior and immaculate outside space with great pool that caught the sun almost all day long! Good location within 15 minutes drive of towns, restaurants and bars. Beach in 30 minutes! Can’t speak highly enough of this stay and Marrion was super helpful before and throughout. The group cannot wait to return again!

Very nice house!
Very nice house, decorated with taste and charm of the tradition of southern Portugal. Very comfortable house, in a beautiful village in the heart of the Algarve, a little noisy sometimes at night, but it’s part of the charm of the village. The baker who prepares his bread (especially in summer during high heat) makes it open door;))) It’s nice. Nice walk around. 1/2 hour from all the top beaches in the Algarve without having the crowds of seaside resorts. 15 minutes from the beautiful town of Silves. Perfect communication with the owner and even the neighborhood.

The whole space is amazing
The whole space is amazing and with great decor. The house is really well equipped, especially at the kitchen level. Improving: light inside the bedrooms because windows do not isolate well, lack of air conditioning making the rooms too hot, internet too slow.
