I had a wonderful stay just 20 minutes north of Tavira in the Algarve. The host, Heidi, was absolutely lovely and made the experience truly special. The accommodation was clean, private, and surrounded by beautiful nature. Heidi went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. She anticipated our late arrival and stocked up the fridge with food and wine, even driving out to meet us at midnight near a landmark to prevent us from getting lost. Her assistance with our bags was greatly appreciated.
Heidi's thoughtful touches continued throughout our stay. She provided a bucket and spade for our daughter to enjoy at the beach, swiftly resolved an issue with the Internet, and made sure we felt right at home. The unique accommodation, built into the rock face, added a touch of charm to the experience. Although not without its minor quirks, like the ants getting into our bread, these little encounters with nature only added to the overall charm of the place.
The communal pool was a fantastic addition, perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring. While the accommodation offered a peaceful escape, it's worth noting that having a car is essential to fully explore the beauty of the Algarve. Overall, I highly recommend this stay for those looking to immerse themselves in nature, with a warm and accommodating host like Heidi to make the experience even more memorable.
