We had a wonderful time at the villa, it had everything we needed including the BBQ, it is furnished to a very good standard as shown in the advert making the stay pleasant and comfortable just like being home from home, it was a pleasure to return to the villa of an evening and sit by the poolside having a beer or two in the peace and quiet also have a dip in the large pool to cool down!
Laura & Ricardo are very helpful to the point of giving details on the Tomtom updat e for local places to shop, restaurants & beaches also were very helpful giving us guidance where to find a local optician to get a pair of glasses repaired.
Thank you both Laura & Ricardo.

The house is great, it has pretty much everything we need! And we are quite demanding as we have two young children. We felt like we have gone from one home to another as all the amenities are just to hand. Hence we like it so much.

We really enjoyed staying in your villa. It was just what we needed a relaxing away from it all holiday. The villa is wonderful and has fantastic views. The teenagers in our group thought the music that played all through the house was FANTASTIC and we are now looking in to how it could work at home. Although the house is on different levels it was still child friendly for my 8 month old with shade outside so he could join in the fun happening in your fab pool.

We would like to thank you and Ricardo for having us in your villa. We all agreed that we had an excellent vacation. It really felt as if the house was our own. We had a fantastic time and my daughter had a birthday to remember. We enjoyed the freedom that the villa gave us, it was extremely well equipped, the pool was excellent an excellent size. The only slight downside was the size of the beds, I think that we all found them a bit small, although I believe that nobody sleeps that well when in strange bed. Your customer service was excellent, from collecting and dropping us at the airport, to always being on hand to answer our calls for information and help, a truly memorable holiday and thanks.

It was a pleasure to stay in your villa after twice staying in villas over the years that we have booked as a 'package holiday' On this occasion even the booking of the villa over the internet was not a problem. From the minute we arrived in Portugal the personal level of service we received from both you and Ricardo, by meeting us at the airport, leading us to the villa and the tour of the villa made our arrival very stress free and pleasurable. The villa exceeded our expectations and had no comparison to the previous villas we have reserved in the Algarve. The level of furnishing and the attention to detail made the villa feel more like a home than a holiday villa. We all really enjoyed the pool and the unobstructed views towards the ocean made sitting by the pool an absolute pleasure. The barbecue was also well used during our visit. It was unfortunate the air condition had a problem on our arrival but we were more than impressed with the speed you had the problem resolved and provided a portable unit to cover for the few days until the unit was fixed. We also enjoyed getting to know you and Ricardo and appreciated the information you gave on local attractions, restaurants etc Once again thank you for helping us make this a memorable holiday and we hope we will have the opportunity to stay in your villa in the future.

The villa was fabulous and in a wonderfully quiet location with impressive views down towards the sea. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you for making our holiday a special one! Thank you for making it so comfortable.

We had a really enjoyable holiday (or else we wouldn't want to return!) and a stress free return journey. It was really nice to meet you & Ricardo, & thank you for all that you did for us.

Just a short note to say thank you for the use of your fantastic house, without doubt the best accommodation we've ever stayed in on holiday. As well as the house itself, we loved the quietness of the area and the view from the pool area was something we were still enjoying the day we left!

The house was everything we needed it to be. Just like a home from home with the books, ornaments and personal touches, it was really nice to return in the evening after a pleasant meal at a local restaurant or over in Vilamoura, Albefuira or one of the other towns and villages within relatively easy reach of Bordeira.
The weather wasn't as kind to us as it might have been with some rain and very cool evenings, but the wood burner was just the job, keeping us warm and cosy in the evenings.
Best thing about the house was the splendid location, up in the hills with wonderful views out to Faro and the sea beyond. The conservatory was lovely, warming up in the sunshine despite the relatively cool temperatures outside and making a great place to sit quietly and read during the day and of course that view was there to be enjoyed between pages.
If there was a negative, it was simply our timing because we were a bit too early in the year. No doubt in the summer the pool is superbly refreshing, but for off season, it looks great but was too cold for us to enjoy.
This was our second trip to this region and the house exceeded our expectations.
If we come back to the Algarve again, we will certainly be in touch.

It was even better than we imagined, and your hospitality was so kind; we certainly appreciated your generosity of time in meeting us at the airport. I doubt we could have found the villa on our own! Of course, by the end of our stay I knew my way around the area reasonably well, and what a delightful area it is. As lovely as Faro, Olhao and the other towns were, it was always a pleasure to retreat to the hills/mountains at the end of a day and look out over the coastal area as the lights came on in the evening, while we sat by the pool with a drink surveying the dusky panorama and the children had their evening/night-time swim. The villa had everything anyone could possibly want in a holiday home, and more! It is hard to say what we enjoyed most: every aspect of the villa was devine. For me, the airy 'spaciousness' was fabulous. I also loved the hillside breezes that refreshed me whenever I wanted. The girls loved the pool, both for swimming and topping up their suntans. Our son was happiest just sitting in the computer/TV lounge, playing his guitar while we went out shopping, and then he emerged after dark for a night-time swim. Gloria simply enjoyed swimming and then sitting on the terrace enjoying the glorious views. We could each be somewhere in the property and 'get lost' from each other, if we wanted to!

Just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed staying in the villa...it was nice and secluded with plenty of space and a lovely view.
The beds were really comforable and the showers were good.I would recommend the villa to other people as it is very spacious, has a good quiet location and has everything you need. Karen Strange

We have stayed in some villas from the same website,but this one and in particular the owners,surpassed our expectations.From the moment we arrived in Portugal, meeting the villa owner at the airport,being taken on a wonderful journey through the hills to the villa and viewing the villa and the facilities,set the scene for what was to become a most memorable week.We will not forget the owners of our villa and our relaxing evenings sat beside the pool watching the sunset.Caroline and Phil
