We are almost reluctant to tell people how beautiful this gem is. The house and pool are perfectly positioned for beautiful views and the Portuguese sunshine. Krysia, the host, is attentive but leaves you to feel as if you are completely alone on your holiday. This was our second stay and we will definitely be back again soon!

This is a fabulous property. The outside area is wonderful with both an upper terrace to enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner whilst enjoying the great views, along with a fantastic pool with lots of shaded areas to enjoy the peace and tranquillity. Krysia our host was very helpful but never intrusive. Inside the air conditioning was very effective and the bed very comfortable. There's a very good local Spar less than 5 minutes away and a far bigger supermarket just over 10 minutes away in Loulé. We'll definitely be back !

Fully equipped villa, very comfortable with everything you could need for a fantastic stay. Large Continente supermarket about 10 mins away in Loule. Beach is about 15 mins in Quarteira. The "Mar" vast shopping facility ten minutes away too. Rural countryside provided authentic Portugese vibes. Pool area was really relaxing, table tennis was fun and the roof top terrace perfect for outdoor dining and barbecuing. Also smart tv with all the channels - sports and movies, and assorted board games in the lounge once the sun went down. Lovely host, great communication and support throughout our stay. Highly recommended. Would suit small family or 2 couples

Private, spacious getaway

Despite the weather we had a lovely stay, due to the comfy living area and heating system. Our host provided excellent care combined with privacy. Contrary to earlier reviews the oven worked fine. The kitchen was very well equipped for self catering which was easy to do thanks to the delicious local products.

We had a pleasant relaxing break at this beautiful property. It has lovely homely feel with breathtaking views and was perfect for our needs. Krysia was the perfect host and an excellent source for local information. We have stayed in this area before and would not hesitate to return to this property. It is a perfect location for peace and quiet but only a short distance to the livelier parts of the Algarve if you desire. Thanks again Paul, Kathy & Isabelle.

Casa do Loureiro was lovely house.

Casa do Loureiro was in a beautiful area near St Barbara de Nexe. The location of the house was excellent as we were near Faro, Almancil, loule and many more other destinations. The house had everything we needed and our hosts krysia and her husband were terrific. If we needed anything they were there to assist us. The views were beautiful and my family and i had a great holiday. The pool area was great with plenty of lilos and the view from there was lovely. Would go back.

Lovely quiet property with fabulous pool, sunset views.

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.

Absolutely fantastic!

This holiday rental is a beautiful gem hidden away, but within easy reach of local amenities. Although Krysia, the host, lives next door on site, she is the perfect hostess and you are left to enjoy your holiday without intrusion. She is also extremely kind and helpful should you have any questions (such as how to wrap a large oversized metal tree of life for transport! We got it home, Krysia!!). We did not hire a car but had no real issues using the Uber app to order taxis. Although 15 mins from Faro there is no plane noise. Highly recommend this as a place to stay. We are already saving up, to return again 🙂

Splendid holidays here

We spend some lovely days with the family at this Casa. The surroundings in the hills are quiet and the view is gorgeous. Eastern and western Algarve are well in reach with a car (ca 45 min each to Spanish border and Portimao). Ride to the closest beaches is ca. 20-30 min by car. The interior of the house was clean and there is all you need and even more (e.g. French press, coffee machine, juice press, TV, washing machine, microwave, gas hob + oven, vac cleaner, mixer, etc., all working well). Cleaning and new towels were offered after 1 week. A grill is also available outside. The pool is very nice and for private use only. Loungers and umbrellas are available and there is a table to have some refreshments. The host is very friendly and kindly offered help for everything needed for a family with small children, such as a highchair and cot, even a further (lower) bed was made available on the day of arrival. All in all, we fully recommend a stay at this location.
