We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.The house feels as if it was renovated in the 1970s and has a traditional feel to it. Having said that, it is clean and well maintained. The lounge is on the small side with insufficient seating for 6 people.The outside space is the best part of the property. The pool gets the sun for most of the day and there are plenty of sunny and shady places to sit. The pool is deep even in the shallow end which is something to bear in mind if you are with young children. The outside dining area is pleasant place to enjoy a meal.
Pool area is what makes this property! Pool is really big and amazing, sunbeds comfy, table and chairs well shaded. We spent most of our time out there! The house is VERY traditional, saying that it has everything you could possibly need, very well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, decent showers, space, clean and lots of towels and linen provided. Location was good, but would recommend a car. It was pretty much 20mins drive to anywhere you wanted to go. Steep hill walk into local village but not loads there. Quiet and rural location. We had a very quiet and relaxed holiday. Lidl and aldi 5 mins drive. Communication from Sheila was great about the booking, i found the guy dealing with us when we were there slightly rude but could be a language barrier.
Absolutely gorgeous rustic and spacious villa with everything you could need. The beautiful garden and large pool really make this villa. Well maintained and communication was excellent. Definitely need a car but fantastic base point for seeing the Algarve. 100% recommend.
Highly recommended! Everything is as described, worked perfectly and great communication throughout. We had a wonderful 2 week holiday in this quality property.
We had a wonderful time at the villa. Everything is kept very clean, the pool is large and well-maintained. We often grilled outside, and the kids could play as much as they wanted. There is a cleaning service after one week, which is very convenient. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of utensils and dishes, so you donât have to wash everything after each snack. All in all, we had a beautiful vacation with lots of Portuguese flair.
We stayed for 12 nights at this beautiful villa!
The pool was a big hit for our children (5yrs and 8ys)
Our youngest learnt to swim independently during this holiday which is a very special memory!
We enjoyed dinners on the patio and star gazing in the evening, we saw lots of shooting stars! Our little ones loved the lizards that would visit in the evening, they even named them. The air con in each room was great! Also having a washing machine was a bonus as Iâve come home with no washing to do.
Check in with Remco was great, he was very informative of the villa and the local area. If you had any queries you could message him directly.
We had a mid stay clean (bed linen and towels) pool man came a few times during our trip which was great!
It is advisable to have a hire car when staying here as you are far out from transport links.
We hired a car and loved the freedom to explore the local areas.
Everyone is so friendly in Portugal we were made very welcome.
There is a local Aldi and Lidl 5 min drive away which was super convenient.
We would recommend this villa, we have made lifelong memories and miss our daily routines already!
Thank-you for allowing us to stay x
Lovely rustic villa with a beautiful garden/pool.
Communication from the owner and the property manager was excellent.
Had a minor issue with the a/c one day and Remco was out and fixed it promptly. Property has everything you need, and was well maintained.
We had a great holiday and it is a good base to explore the area. You do need a car and some roads are narrow around the area so it may not be for everyone driving on those roads, but we found the driving fine once used to it and the locals friendly and welcoming. Great beaches and lots of nice restaurants in the region.
Die Betreuung durch Remco war auĂerordentlich gut. Die Unterkunft war in allen Bereichen funktionell und sehr gemĂŒtlich. Besonders der riesige Pool, der sehr gepflegt ist , hat uns gut gefallen
We had such a lovely holiday staying in this villa. It was our first family holiday as a family of four (children aged 1 and 5) and without a doubt one that will have long lasting happy memories. The pool was great and our son spent most of the day splashing around in it. The villa is beautiful, in a lovely location which feels peaceful and secluded.
The beaches nearby were busy (as expected over August) but gorgeous. Perfect waves for gentle body boarding and lots of restaurants nearby to make a great day out.
All communication with Sheila/ Hilary and Remco were answered promptly and lots of helpful useful information available.
We're hoping to book again for next year.
The location & facilities were perfect for our needs.
Remco was very informative about the villa.
The 2 granddaughters turned into mermaids, with Mum & Dad , and the grandparents in support. Plenty to see in the area, and 3 good restaurants in the village.
Perfect retreat for 5 nurses who worked tirelessly through the pandemic. The house, garden and pool were fantastic to relax in. A short stroll to the village was made even more pleasurable by the Boliquieme festival. Remco ,property manager, was a wealth of information and helpful. Would recommend the house to others travelling to the Algarve.
The Villa is full of character and the pool is excellent. The property does needs some updating internally and externally in our opinion. It states dog friendly but the garden/shaded area is not fenced so unable to let the dogs out except around the gated pool area which was not always ideal as very hot. Remco the Manager was always to hand and communicating with us, the cleaners were excellent too. Plenty of lovely places to eat in both Boliquieme and Vilamoura nearby. Overall it was a very relaxing holiday.
We enjoyed our stay a lot. We liked the big garden and private pool. The bedrooms are spacious and the kitchen is well equipped and the Wifi connection is pretty stable.
Supermarkets are a 5 min drive away and the nearest beach about 15-20 min.
Communication with Hillary and Remco was easy.
In short: a great place for recharging your batteries but also suitable if you want to do some remote work.
This house is a fantastic house to relax in. We went here for two weeks and enjoyed the calm atmosphere. We especially liked the swimming pool, the outdoor barbeque and the kitchen with everything you need. Would definitely like to come back!
Das Haus liegt auf einem Berg, erreichbar durch verwinkelte Wege. Es ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, besticht aber durch seinen besonderen Charme. Der Garten die verschiedenen ĂŒberdachten Sitzmöglichkeiten und natĂŒrlich der phantastische Pool lassen den Aussenbereich zu einem Highlight werden. Hier kann man sich wohlfĂŒhlen und entspannen. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Die KĂŒche ist gut ausgestattet, Die Betreuung durch Remco war zuvorkommend und freundlich. Auch der Reinigungsservice war top. Wir wĂŒrden jederzeit wieder kommen!
Weâve had a wonderful 2 weeks at Casa das Figueiras and are so glad we managed to get there in the end! We were supposed to stay last year, but due to COVID we couldnât travel. Sheila was so understanding and allowed us to defer. Her communication was brilliant throughout (including when we had a last minute passport hiccup!)
The villa itself is wonderful, the location peaceful, but a short walk into the village and a very short drive to the bigger towns and some beautiful beaches. The villa has everything you could need (including the most comfortable beds weâve had in a holiday villa) and is spotless, thanks to regular cleaning by the lovely cleaning lady. The pool was a big hit with our children (10, 7 and 4) and regularly maintained. Remco was really helpful with lots of recommendations and on hand if we needed anything.
Weâd definitely recommend the villa and hope to be back one day!!
Und hat das Ferienhaus sehr gut gefallen. Es gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten drauĂen zu sitzen, sodass man immer ein SchattenplĂ€tzchen findet. Der Pool ist wirklich groĂ und war fĂŒr uns das Highlight des Hauses. Das Haus wurde wĂ€hrend unseres Aufenthalts zweimal gereinigt, ebenso der Pool und es wurden die HandtĂŒcher gewechselt. Wir waren mit dem Service sehr zufrieden und können das Haus auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
My husband and I bought a plot in 1981 with a small building (a ruin really) set on a hillside overlooking the Algarvian coast. Gradually we renovated, expanded and improved but kept the character of the original stone building and roof. The location is fantastic! Real Algarve, tranquil, almond orchards, winding lanes, village close by with bank, pharmacy and some good restaurants. Yet Vilamoura and Albufeira are only a 10/15 minute drive with beautiful beaches, golf courses and marinas. We've enjoyed many family holidays here over the years and hope we've created a home from home for your relaxing holiday.
Glorious rest and relaxation. Sometimes a shepherd grazes his sheep in the orchard in front. The garden is child friendly and the villa has a fenced pool.
