We stayed at this property for two months during the winter. We loved it and are planning to return next year for an even longer stay. The house has been newly renovated by a local architect and is all quite comfortable. It has very modern conveniences. The wifi worked perfectly. It allowed us to connect with grandchildren back in North America using face time. It is cooler in the winter in Portugal but we found that the electric heaters did a good job of heating the house when necessary. There is a fireplace that worked well, with some firewood supplied but we only used it once. Working with the owner, Sonam, was easy. She was very accommodating and all arrangements regarding deposits and arrival and departure times were very straightforward. She also left a booklet, not only about the house, but also with recommendations about local restaurants, markets, and beaches. We tried many of her suggestions and found them to be excellent. There is also Adelaide, the local manager. She was very available whenever we had questions and helped us a great deal. One of the things we really enjoyed about Vivenda Franco was the setting. It is within walking distance of the small village of Santo Estavao and about a 10 minute drive from Tavira. It is at the end of a long lane. The property is beautiful with a view of the ocean in the distance. There is no traffic whatsoever near the house. We very much enjoyed the peace and quiet. I would say, however, that you must have a car to enjoy this property. There is plenty of room for two couples. Our son and daughter-in-law came to visit for ten days and we were quite comfortable. If I had one minor complaint I would say that Vivenda Franco needs some better outdoor lounges. There were two but they were not terribly comfortable. I understand from Adelaide that new outdoor furniture is on the way. In closing, I guess the fact that we are planning on returning and would recommend this place to any friend or family is the best recommendation I can give it.
