Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo rentals with pool

We loved our stay in this beautifully renovated house set in a picturesque and peaceful valley, but only a short drive to Tavira and the coast. Angie and Jonny are ideal hosts, welcoming and friendly, and always available to deal with any issues or requests. The house is spacious, well equipped and comfortable, with plenty of outdoor space, including the pool with a lovely view (though sadly too cold for us at this time of year!) and walks down to the river. We enjoyed the scenic walks up in the hills, especially the cork oak valley. A plentiful supply of logs to keep us warm on cool evenings. And not forgetting the delightful company of Paddy!Thanks Angie and Jonny for creating such a special place. We'll be back!

Fantastic location and loved our holiday . Beautiful sunsets 🌇

Fantastic location to get away from it all. Great views, pool and stylish accommodation. Andrea was a very helpful hoast too. Thank you.

Great location in wonderful surroundings. Really helpful and friendly host. Would definitely stay again.

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.

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!

I have stayed in this part of the Algarve several times because it is truly Portuguese and not just another destination for holidaymakers; with great places to visit, great food, lovely vistas and genuine local colour. I carefully selected this property because of this and so that I could quickly settle into my first holiday in three years. I was not disappointed in any way. Jan and Maries property is all as advertised and more, it was very clean, included all that I needed and more, the pool deck was just right with wonderful views (the temperature was just right), and the surrounding gardens and the valley were just lovely. The lower veg and herb gardens were delightful - I did help with slight pruning of the herbs to stuff my fish before I barbequed it, but don't tell anyone! the location is excellent in easy reach of Sao Bras for essentials and some excellent restaurants, the best local bakery in the Algarve (just try their Pastel de Nata) Tavira for itself and the facinating coastline and beaches. What's not to like? Oh! and Jan & Maries are pretty good hosts to, there when you need them with inciteful local knowledge and they obviously care about their chosen life and how they are part of the local life and culture!
