Vacation rentals near Jardim Manuel Bívar

This was our first trip to the Algarve in over 20 years. Staying at Casa Fuschia did not disappoint. It was close enough to towns for shopping and tourist activities if we wanted, but was in a quiet location so we could completely relax and switch off from every day life. I would definitely consider returning in the not too distant future!

The location is a short 20 min drive from the airport on an amazing piece of property. Secluded in the hills overlooking Faro. Very comfortable home with everything you need for a short or long stay. Private pool and deck. Pond to enjoy your morning coffee. Hosts are easy going and able to be contacted quickly if you need them. 5 out of 5 for sure.

We enjoyed are stay at this Villa with are family. The house is big and can accommodate a lot of people. The cleanliness was great. The pool was lovely except that it was to hot! We had to get turn the heat down to enjoy it. Also, the beds are extremely firm, I would recommend the owners upgrade the beds immediately.

This villa was absolutely stunning located on a beautiful property. Many outdoor areas to relax in the shade. Swimming pool was clean and warm. We did experience some difficulties initially using Google Maps navigating to the address but the host was quick to respond with the location pinned. Easy drive to supermarket and ocean front excursions

A wonderful stay! Very comfortable with many amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen and clothes washer, an outdoor terrace, parking space and a lovely view. For us, it proved to be the central location we wanted for touring everywhere in the Algarve -- Faro, Tavira, Estoi, Seven Lost Valleys, Portimao, Lagos, Sagres, Albufeira, Alte, and other places along the way during our daily outings. Much appreciation to our delightful hosts, Marie-Jo, Esmeraldina and Ricardine for their kindness and for making our stay so comfortable. The little Christmas tree, the oranges, lettuce and pumpkin-cinnamon jam were special treats.

We loved our stay in this quiet self-contained villa. It is well-furnished, has good air-con, and is in a quiet village away from the hustle of the coastline. The best part was the stunning large private pool, and if the owner used it, we never saw him. The unit has an upper terrace with gorgeous views over the valley. Lots of useful amenities like a washing machine, well-equipped kitchen, and many sun umbrellas and loungers. A car is essential as you are about 15 minutes from the Faro airport. The village has a grocery store with all the basics. It was a good base for exploring, and it was very quiet, except for the occasional barking dog across the valley. Perfect for a couple. We will remember it as a little bit of paradise.

One of the best vacations that we've had largely due to our stay at Villa Mara. Spectacular views over Faro and Olhao down to a gleeming ocean below. Set in the hills amongst other luxurious villas birds and nature abound. The owner's father Uli is the most fantastic gardener and was often around. Acres of beautiful plants surround the Villa and there are literally endless tables and chairs and different courtyards and places to have a meal or morning coffee. The Manager, Jens was always there for us if we had a question. He was very accommodating and helpful with suggestions and the notes in the house were very helpful. The house is extremely well thought out. The kitchen well equipped, the beds comfortable, and the sitting areas cosy and fresh. The house was so clean and fresh. We appreciated the air conditioning a lot! The terraces and the pool were stunning and although we traveled alot, we spent every other day around the pool. We had never been in such a beautiful climate. Consistently 28-34, sunny and dry. Unbelievable! Portugese people we met were so nice without exception. Finally, the location was outstanding. Very central in the Algarve and close to Seville. 2 hours. We had such fun. Big thank yous to Jens, Uli and Heidi. We will be back one day soon i hope. Tim and Maria

Everything was fantastic! The villa was well equipped and beautiful. The pool was amazing to have and everyone was very responsive
