About this property

Holiday paradise with pool

(The owner lives in an apartment on the property)
Holiday in a spacious holiday home with its own pool and large garden. The beautiful kilometer-long sandy beach is ideal for long walks and is only a 10-minute walk away. Ideal for children as it goes flat into the water. On the way to the beach you will find various restaurants, cafes and shops.
The house is a non-smoking house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious living and dining area, a well-equipped kitchen, a terrace with a view of the garden and pool (9 x 4 m) and a private courtyard with cold and hot water. Shower, a roof terrace, parking spaces for cars (one of them covered), a large garden with many fruit trees that can be harvested seasonally by guests. All of this is located in an area of approx. 1000m².
The pool is cleaned 3 x a week. A gardener comes twice a month. There is an automatic sprinkler system overseen by the gardeners. It would be nice if they would water the flower pots on the terrace and patio from time to time, watering aids are available.
The house is located in Manta Rota, a small town in the sand Algarve. 45 minutes from Faro airport and only 20 minutes by car to the Spanish border. Seville can be reached in about 2 hours.
Very beautiful cities and areas are Vila Real de Sto. Antonio, Tavira, Olhao, Sagres, the rocky Algarve and of course Cabo de Sao Vizente, the westernmost tip of Europe. In the hinterland there are Lulé, Sao Braz de Alportel and Alcotim to discover. A guide is in the house.

Fabulous villa!!

A home from home. Fabulously equipped. Fantastic large villa. Great pool. Great location. Pool house not advertised but also great; it has a pull out bed, small kitchen and lounge area and large shower/toilet - perfect for couple or teenagers. Cannot fault this place ( watch out for daytime mosquitoes though).

I stayed in the villa with my son grand daughter and her friend for first few days and then on my own. The villa has everything you vould want. Pool is lovely and the experience of picking your own oranges to make fresh juice.was great. Reuben was so helpful i would hope to return . Thank you Gudren

Loved it!

This has been our second visit to Casa Adam and the first since the pandemic. The location is ideal, just a few minutes walk from the huge sandy beach and the house is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a family holiday. To have your own swimming pool is a real bonus and we picked oranges and lemons from the garden. Manta Rota is a small village but has several bars and restaurants and a good supermarket. Recommended unreservedly.

Manta Rota July 23

Just returned from a week in Manta Rota at Casa Adam. My entire group had a wonderful time and were so glad we stayed here as opposed to more populated areas further west in the Algarve. The property was beautiful and pretty much exactly as described online. The gardens are beautiful, the pool is quite refreshing and the beach is a blissful short walk away. As we did venture into some of the local towns, having a car helped. The location is very accessible to the N125 and the A22 (toll road) to move about. But for a beach holiday, this is exactly what we were looking for.

A perfect home from home

We have stayed in manta Rota on a number of occasions previously, always in a condominium style apartment with a communal pool. This however is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom detached property with a lovely garden and a private swimming pool situated in a quiet location, just a 10 minute walk from a huge sandy beach. The very comfortable property is equipped with everything you are likely to need. We picked oranges, lemons and limes from the garden every day. Reuben, the owners local representative was on hand to greet us on arrival and could not have been more helpful. In conclusion, in comparison with local apartments you may pay a little more for Casa Adam but you will get a whole lot more value for your money. Recommended unreservedly.

Great location, nice pool

The property is in a nice, quiet, residential position and the pool is clean and cared for. Walking distance to the town and beach made it easy for us. The garden is small but pretty and fairly private given the house position. Having someone to meet us would have been a nice touch, or even someone checking in during the stay or when leaving. We had no contact with anyone. However, we managed with the lock safe. I'm sure most people wouldn't worry. The property itself has air-conditioning which was great but the kitchen and bathrooms would benefit from some updating. There is pretty much anything you want in the property including seating, pool floats, games, kitchen utensils etc. which was appreciated. Bring a hair dryer! The only negative - I would add that this is the first time in 20+ years we have stayed in a holiday rental which is used by the owners and contains all of their belongings. I personally found this a little strange and had to be mindful that some food in the freezer / wardrobe contents / personal belongings were not to be touched or used. Perhaps easy to be respectful of this arrangement as adults but I had to be very vigilant bringing children with me. Maybe this is more common than I thought, but I have not come across this arrangement before myself. Thank you for having us. You have a lovely home and we enjoyed our holiday. Annie

Dear Anni, it's a shame that you didn't take a close look at my website. It says everything there, including that the things in the kitchen can be used. So far I've had mostly positive comments. The kitchen is designed in the old Portuguese style and will not be changed. The bathroom with the bathtub is getting a new mirrored cabinet and photos are being taken. Normally the fridge in the kitchen is empty, only the freezer compartment is private; if there are drinks in the drinks cupboard you can drink them. Some guests come late and are happy about it. We have 3 hair dryer in the House. If someone has trouble with the key safe, you can ring my neighbor's doorbell and she will give you information about everything. You never know when the guests will actually arrive. Every guest also gets my cell phone number and can call me or WhatsApp me, which is even better. Everything in the house can be used as if it were their own house. Everyone should feel comfortable. Kindly regards

Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Wir konnten am ersten Tag schon morgens ins Haus, was uns sehr erleichtert hat. Der Garten ist wunderschön und wir durften ums an Orangen, Zitronen, Himbeeren, Feigen, Trauben und Tomaten bedienen.Der Pool war sehr gut gepflegt und richtig groß. Es gibt sogar noch ein Poolhaus, welches wir aber nicht genutzt hatten. Zusammengefasst ist es ein wunderschönes Haus im portugiesischen Stil mit definitiv deutschem Einfluss in der Ausstattung. Es gab einfach alles! Sogar einen Thermomix und ein Fahrrad Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen. Richtig klasse.

A casa apresenta todas as condições necessárias a uma boa estadia (ar condicionado em todas as divisões, boa cobertura do wi-fi, tv fibra e satélite).Julgamos que os serviços contratados de jardinagem e manutenção da piscina não são integralmente cumpridos:Em 15 dias de estadia a piscina foi limpa uma única vez, o serviço de jardinagem mereceu uma única intervenção para mudança da pilha da rega automática, que não se sabe há quanto tempo não trabalhava, dado que as plantas estavam muito secas.

Perfekt zum Entspannen

Wir waren über Neujahr da und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Wir konnten die Sonne auf der Terrasse genießen, lange Strandspaziergänge machen und hatten an kalten Abenden im Wohnzimmer einen sehr gemütlichen Rückzugsort. Die Wohnung ist bestens ausgestattet und top organisiert. Wir haben uns willkommen gefühlt und können das Ferienhaus uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Sossego impagável na azáfama de agosto

A casa fica num recanto sossegado, sem ser longe da praia ou do supermercado e restaurantes, o que é uma vantagem impagável na confusão típica das férias em agosto. Está bem equipada, com tudo o que os proprietários utilizam, sendo confortável para o dia a dia. A piscina não arrefece muito, mesmo se o aquecimento só foi ligado a meio da semana que lá passámos. Tem sol desde o nascer até ao fim do dia.

Great Villa, excellent gardens and pool

This property had virtually everything on site to make a wonderful holiday, it hugely exceeded our expectations. Gudrun was absolutely great, a real star, answering any small query within a few minutes. The property was clean, light and airy and the pool house was a great hit. The beach is only a 10/15 minute walk away with all the equipment that you could possibly need on site at the property. Parking is excellent, undercover right by the front door. We had a great time and would definitely return. We highly recommend this property.

Família de 6 em Julho

Gostámos muito da estadia, de duas semanas de Julho. A casa é linda e muito confortável, o jardim permite muita privacidade. Ainda é uma caminhada até à praia mas mesmo a criança mais nova (5 anos) fez diariamente sem dificuldade. O único problema foi um cão da casa anexa que ladrava dia e noite. Isto certamente não é culpa da Gudrun mas um melhor isolamento sonoro nos quartos mais próximos da rua talvez possa ser considerado no futuro. Em geral, gostámos muito e esperamos voltar!
