Faro rentals with pool

Very spacious and comfortable for our family holiday - the large and deep pool was appreciated by our competitive youngsters and always very warm. An excellent two weeks in Casa Yaenos

We decided very last min to go on holiday this year and felt very blessed to find such a wonderful place to stay . A perfect retreat from life’s hustle and bustle the aptly named casa la Paz was spot on. It’s a short drive from Faro airport and tucked away down a dirt road and a semi rural area - very private with views of the surrounding countryside. The house itself was perfect for us and our kids. We spent a lot of time in the salt water pool and loved the peaceful space with the right mix of shade and sun- loved the hammock !! Also a really well equipped kitchen for self catering and we loved playing boules each night .Also enjoyed some movie nights using chrome cast on the TV. There are lovely surrounding towns and markets to visit and the coast is a short 20-30 min drive- Ihla de Armona was the standout beach for us- ferry from Olhão . We also found some fantastic local restaurants within a 5 min drive. The hosts were a perfect mix of engaged and standoff ! The only niggle was the electrics being very sensitive (owner quick to help resolve ) - maybe a storage battery with the solar would fix this .. Overall a fantastic stay thanks again to Tom and team .

Our family had a wonderful stay at the villa. The villa is beautiful, well equipped with a lovely pool and garden with various comfortable seating areas. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with cooking utensils. It is in a good position, not far from Faro and Olhão. There is lots to do in the area: We took the ferry from Olhão and walked to a really lovely beach on Aromna Island with lunch at a very good beach cafe. We had a delicious meal in Faro old town and walked into Estoi for some extra food shopping and visited the lovely palace and had an early evening drink in the palace restaurant. We also drove into the mountains and walked the boardwalk and over the suspended bridge in Alferce, near Monchique. We’d love to come back sometime.

I will summarise the best I can about the Villa: 1. What you see in the picture is the same if not better live. Everything is so well kept that is indistinguishable; 2. Everything inside the house is great quality: Oven, washing machine, dryer, aircon, cable TV, etc; 3. On the aircon, there is no limit on the usage as I have seen before in other properties which I'll never return; 4. If nice and quiet is what you want the house has the perfect location. Restautants, market, city, etc are all around 5 to 15 min from the house; 5. Only thing you may need to take is your speaker for some music. 6. There are 3 Fridges! Beers always cold.

A beautiful villa and surroundings and equipped with everything needed for an amazing holiday! Krysia & Russell were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly recommended for a quiet and relaxing break but close enough to all the amenities and less than half an hour away from the airport although you’d never know! Thank you so much!

Nestled up on the hills above Faro, Villa Mara is nice and secluded with a fantastic view of Faro, Olhao and the islands. It faces south but a roof terrace means you can catch evening sunsets. There was an impressive super moon whilst we were there. As it’s up on the hills, it does get some wind which is really refreshing. Villa is a good size with plenty of lounging space inside and out and a lovely, well kept garden. Pool was great and cleaned by the friendly Linda every Tues. Plenty of places to food shop nearby (Sao Bras de Alportel) - car is a must. Also plenty of towns to visit - Tavira was a favourite but also Loule (for the markets but also the impressive salt mines just out of town) and Carvoeira (for the beach, cliffs and caves). We were able to check in early, which was very kind. Would thoroughly recommend.

The property is more beautiful than the pictures. The accommodation is well spread out with plenty of spaces to socialise or reflect quietly depending on your mood. The outside space, pool area, complete with kitchen and barbecue was wonderful. The villa is very comfortable, and feels more like a home from home rather than a holiday rental, with the little touches so often missed being present. The restaurant within walking distance is a treat, as is the fish restaurant in the next village along. We are already looking to return. Even our grown up daughters aged 19 and 21 were happy!

Comfy beds. Great outside space. Handy for town. Would stay again.
