About this property

Beautiful country villa with luxury swimming pool and relaxing Hot Tub

Our beautiful villa is set amongst unspoilt countryside . total peace and quiet, tranquil surroundings with birdsong, nature, and wildlife offering relaxation, solitude and away from all the stress of modern day life.
The Villa stands in its own grounds with great views no dwellings close by and is a completely private space for you to enjoy the charming surroundings.no one lives at the property.
.
The villas perfectly situated to explore the breath-taking beaches of the west coast or to travel to the popular Algarve both within easy distance of around 45 minutes by car.
Beautiful villa with a very large luxurious natural swimming pool
Once you learn the health benefits of a saltwater swimming pool, you'll understand why.
Gentle on Your Eyes. It's common for swimmers' eyes to itch and turn red after spending a prolonged period in a chlorinated pool.
Clean & Sanitary.
Safer than Chlorine.
Soothing to Your Skin.
Non-Irritating to the Lungs.
Relaxing.
We also have a lovely solar heated shower on the pool terrace great to shower underneath the stars at night. This space is ideal for naturists and lovers of nature, a real rural retreat you cant fail to relax in this tranquil setting!
The emphasis on our villa is definitely one of pure relaxation and what better way of doing just that with the heavenly hot tub. Hydrotherapy massage jets are good for well-being and have amazing health benefits, de stress and calm your mind ready for a restful night’s sleep, or just relax, listen to some of your favorite music with the built in blue tooth speakers. Unwind under the star lit sky. The master bedroom has a spacious luxurious king size bed and on suite bathroom,
and the second bedroom has a comfortable double bed and a single bed with an on suite shower room.
There are some lovely walks near the river Mira and a restaurant at castro de cola and and archaeologic site steeped in history, there is also a riding stables five minutes away so a lot to explore close by.
some fantastic restaurants five minutes away. Hope to see you soon!

Relax and unwind in this peaceful villa

We had a great three week stay, it is so quiet there, great pool, charming villa, well equipped everything you need. Nature is on your doorstop. Saw lots of wildlife, spotted several birds I have never seen before. Neill and Mel were wonderful and friendly hosts, they were able to answer any of our questions, before our holiday and during our stay. Would definitely go back their next time we go to Portugal.

Peace, quiet and idilic

This is a gem of a find. A lovely villa, a wonderful pool and lots of peace and quiet. Excellent wifi, beautiful villa, English TV, what more could you want! If you wish to escape the hectic lifestyles we all seem to lead and enjoy blissful peace and quiet, then this is the ideal place for you. I would rather not let people know about this place and only did the review after making our booking for next year. The owners are really lovely and even supplied shopping for us when we arrived. I could drone on about how great this place is, but you won't believe me till you try it. Roll on next year!

Good stay

The property is well located (just the national road that is near the house and you can sometimes ear the cars passing by). The house is very well equipped. Jacuzzi is great. The pool is fantastic,so big! Just take care of white bikini (there's a product against algea that turns things yellow). We didn't meet the owners but they were always available by WhatsApp. They had prepared wine, cheese, bread, beers,etc... for our arrival. It was very kind. The only thing that disappointed me was the cleanliness in some parts of the house. The rubbish bin wasn't empty,they were spider webs, the kitchen cupboards were not very clean,etc... I only mentioned it when we left because we arrived late on Saturday night and they couldn't have done anything at this time (and I wanted to have a good communication during my stay.) My little 3 years girl plays on the floor and it was not possible to wait for someone to clean. So I did it. I told the owners when we left. They apologized but told me it was not a big deal. I didn't like this reaction. It's sad. We left the house cleaner that it was.

Entspannung pur

Wir haben traumhafte 6 Wochen im Haus von Neill und Mel verbracht. Schon der Empfang war sehr herzlich und wir bekamen einen Korb mit Leckereien, da muss man für den ersten Abend gar nicht einkaufen. Der Garten ist riesig und eingezäunt, so dass die Hunde freien Auslauf hatten. Das Haus liegt an der Schnellstrasse, nach hinten versetzt. Je nach Wind ist der Verkehr mehr oder weniger zu hören, aber man gewöhnt sich daran. Bei Problemen und Fragen sind die Vermieter jederzeit erreichbar! Den Pool und Whirlpool haben wir nicht benutzt, es war noch zu kalt(nachts). Doch beides wird wöchentlich gereinigt. Im Winter sind die Nächte noch sehr kalt, darum muss mit Holz gefeuert werden, das man beim Nachbar kaufen kann. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind innerhalb von 1-1,5 Stunden mit dem Auto erreichbar. Einkaufen kann man in Ourique, mit dem Auto 7 Min zu fahren Ich wäre sehr gerne noch länger geblieben, habe mich ins Land verliebt. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Erholsamer Urlaub in einem schönen Anwesen

Das Ferienhaus für sich genommen entspricht dem, was man auf den Bildern sehen kann. Das Grundstück ist sehr groß und der Pool ist groß genug, um wirklich darin zu schwimmen. Das Haus liegt in der Nähe der IC1, einer Schnellstraße. Es liegt aber in einer Senke, so dass die Geräusche von der Straße uns zu keinem Zeitpunkt gestört haben. Ich würde die Lage daher als ruhig bezeichnen. Die Umgebung hat in einem Umkreis von 1 Stunde Autofahrt durchaus einiges zu bieten, sofern man kein Partyleben erwartet. Die touristische Infrastruktur ist - abgesehen von der Atlantikküste und natürlich der Algarve - überschaubar bis gar nicht vorhanden. Einkaufen kann man in Ourique, Restaurants mit portugiesischer Küche gibt es einige im näheren Umkreis. Es wird eine einfache Küche geboten. Meist sind es Fleischgerichte, wobei das Fleisch aus der näheren Umgebung stammt, sehr hochwertig ist und sorgfältig zubereitet (meist gegrillt) wird. Die Beilagen fallen demgegenüber deutlich ab. Die Vermieter stammen aus England, sind ausgesprochen freundlich und haben uns mit einer liebevoll zusammengestellten Erstausstattung für Abendessen und Frühstück überrascht. Wir werden wieder kommen.

Een aanrader als je houdt van rust, ruimte en comfort. wij hadden twee heerlijke weken in deze onontdekte streek van Portugal. Het huis is prima en het zwembad en de jacuzzi zijn heerlijk. Bovendien een enorme ruimte om het huis met veel verschillende terrassen en zitjes. Mel en Neill zijn bijzonder vriendelijke en attente eigenaren die goed communiceren..
