Our condo was spacious, bright and very well appointed. There were four patios with various facings so it was always possible to enjoy either sunshine or shade. Check-in was seamless. Josie, the manager was ver helpful and always available to assist us. The grounds are lovely and well tended and there was a pool area with numerous lawn chairs for relaxing in the sunshine. This was an excellent location with a view of the the golf course and within close proximity to restaurants and grocers. Manuel, the owner, was very accommodating. We loved our time in his villa.

This was our 3rd stay at this villa and we enjoyed as much as previously! It was wonderful to be back. The owner and manager are very obliging. There is air conditioning which is useful when you’re getting ready for a night out. The pool area was quiet and relaxing. The balcony areas are also great for eating outside or just relaxing. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and would highly recommend.

Lovely bright villa near the pool

We love the resort and have returned many times, including to the Quinta da Ecosta Velha part of the resort. The villa manager and owner were friendly, helpful and efficient. Everything went really smoothly checking in and out. The villa is lovely and bright with lovely decor and a home from home feeling. Aircon is also good for stiller days but there's a gentle breeze most of the time. Indoor and outdoor areas to eat and lounge and lots of space. Less than a minutes walk to the shared pool. Would highly recommend.

Finishing our tour of Portugual after 30 days

When we first arrived at the property it was disappointing as the property was not as clean as it should have been and was quite musty. We immediately contacted the host who arranged to have the property manager come to the property and do a thorough clean which was great.The host also made it right by providing by compensating us for a couple of nights stay.The property itself was as presented online with the exception of it indicated there was a dryer when there was a drying rack. As well the listing indicated a gym as an amentie when in fact there was a gym at the spa and golf resort next store which you could access for a fee.The neighbour was lovely and quite rural so if you are looking for something quiet it is likely perfect. You do need a car to get by but in Sangras and Salema close by there are beaches, restaurants etc.Overall we had a nice visit.

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry that your arrival did not meet your expectations. As soon as you reached out, I promptly arranged for José to carry out a deep cleaning of the house, and I’m glad that it helped improve your stay. I would like to clarify that there is absolutely no mold in the house. The musty smell you noticed upon arrival was likely due to the fact that the property is closed from September to February, during which time it remains unoccupied. That said, it is regularly maintained and I always ensure a healthy environment for my guests. Thank you also for highlighting the positive aspects of your stay, including the peaceful setting and the proximity to nearby beaches and restaurants. Regarding the dryer and the gym, I’ll make sure the listing is even more precise to avoid any confusion in the future. Guest comfort and satisfaction are very important to me, and your comments help me to continue improving the experience I offer. I wish you all the best and perhaps the pleasure of welcoming you again one day in Portugal. Best regards, Manuel

Die schönste Ferienwohnung, die wir je hatten. Unglaublich groß, 4 Terrassen, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, schön aufgeteilt,…Gute Kommunikation mit dem Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Auch wenn die Ferienwohnung in einem Golfressort ist, keine Angst, wer den Kontakt zum Golf nicht sucht, wird davon nichts mitbekommen Golfplatz (in Sichtweite).Wir waren mit dem Mietwagen dort. Parken ist in der Nähe möglich (vielleicht 50m), zum Ausladen kann man aber direkt vor die Wohnung fahren.Es gibt einen Gemeinschaftspool. Auch hier keine Angst, das sind nur ein paar Schritte und man ist da. Mit einem Transponder kommt man dort rein.Mit dem Auto kommt man schnell an den Strand, z.B. Praia da Salema (mit Gastro) oder Praia das Furnas (nichts als Natur, für Aussteiger).Wenn wieder Algarve, wäre die Ferienwohnung für uns die erste Wahl.

After over 30 years experience renting properties in the western Algarve, I can honestly say that this is one of the best we have stayed in. This home in the sun is clean, spacious, very well appointed and very comfortable. The welcome by Jose was very friendly and the service provided was excellent. We would not hesitate to stay there again, indeed we have already booked our next visit in September.

Schönes Haus

Das Haus befindet sich in einer Siedlung am Rand des Ortes Budens, ist sehr ruhig gelegen gegenüber den Front Nine des Golfplatzes San Antonio. Die Ausstattung bietet alles was man auch zu Hause hat bzw. erwartet. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten oder Restaurants sind fußläufig oder mit dem Auto in 2-10 Minuten zu erreichen. Die Matratze des großen Bettes ist mir persönlich viel zu weich, da fand ich die der Einzelbetten wesentlich angenehmener. Wenn baulich erlaubt, wäre ein Windschutz auf den Terrassen toll. Der Grill ist klasse, allerdings sehr windanfällig, dadurch brennt die Kohle weg wie Reisig. Gerne wieder.
