| "A lovely house in pretty setting, but we were expecting more country atmosphere from the photos. Our first shock was to find a dog and chickens cooped up in unspeakable conditions.
There were no basics of any kind in kitchen. We left a lot and am sure others have, but there was NOTHING. Entrance toilet was overflowing and told Daniel, nothing done. Power went out and no batteries in flashlight. The dryer didnt work, finally got a new one and the refrigerator leaked a good amount of water on kitchen floor, had been noted by Daniel that ice didnt work.
The little house had no hot water, was musty and full of mosquitoes.
We are willing to pay for a nice house, but this had many shortcomings."

| "The main house was furnished to the highest quality. Bedrooms spotless, lounge spacious with satelite TV and a well equipped kitchen.
Swimming pool was crystal clear and clean.
The old Farm house was also comfortable and adequate.
Being totally enclosed with controlled access, the property was extremely safe for children with ample lawn area to play on.
A manager attended each evening to clean the pool and tend the gardens.
If you want to rest, read, fall in the pool, BBQ in the evening, then this is the place. The only reason we went off site was to replenish supplies from the supermarket."

Its peaceful and fully enclosed so you can feel miles from anywhere while laying in the very well kept gardens. The owner, gardener and person of contact were very helpful and done everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. We highly recommend this property."

The villa is massive, surrounded by the fruit farm, in the suburbs but totally private, electronically operated gates. 1/2 an hour from loads of great places to visit, pool beautiful but a bit chilly as not heated, did not deter our kids even in April! Massive windows in villa open over pool oneside sheltered courtyard the other and orange trees. Kitchen is amazing even had a steaming oven. granite worktops everything you could want. Access is a bit tight could not drive minibus to house. Very clean and welll looked after. We had a great holiday and hope to go back. You will have a great holiday here!!!!"

| "What a fantastic large modern villa. This villa was chosen by us after reading so many positive reviews from previous renters and it not only lived up to our expectations, it surpassed them by far! From the moment we arrived we were made feel very welcome by carlos the owner who showed us around and answered any questions we had. The first thing we noticed is the superb pool and garden area with its well kept lawn which surrounds the pool making it a great place to be for children and adults alike. The interior is of the main villa is very spacious and well fitted out with modern appliances from the bathrooms to the kitchen, which also contains every utensil you could possibly wish for. All in all, it was a fabulous holiday enjoyed by all, and not forgetting to mention some of the local restaurants who served excellent food.
Highly recommended."

| "What a marvellous large property, well located close to many amenities and in a quiet neighbourhood. Furnished with modern equipment and furniture, very comfortable and spacious. Our stay has been a most enjoyable experience and the gps provided by the owner has been a very useful instrument in getting us to local tourist sites without waste of time searching around. We were most appreciative of the warm welcome and assistance in ensuring we were accommodated properly. Thank you for a most enjoyable holiday!"

The GPS system provided by the villa is essential to ensure you get the best from the local area.
Be warned that the locals speak very little english and no restaurants (that we could find) locally could help with explaining the menu's.
The on site grounds man is superb and does whatever he can to make sure your stay is comftable.
It was a real treat to open the back door and pick fresh lemons and oranges."

"La casa esta realmente bien, todas las estancias son amplias y con mucha luz natural, esta muy bien amueblada y en la cocina tienes todo lo que puedas necesitar. La parte del jardin y la piscina esta muy bien cuidada, y el trato por parte de los señores ha sido muy bueno.
Puedo decir que es una de las mejores casas en las que he estado y desde luego si puedo pienso volver.
"

This is an English translation to the review in Spanish: "The house is really good, all the rooms are big and with a lot of natural light, it is very well furnished and in the kitchen you have everything you may ever need. The garden and pool area is very well kept and the treatment by the managers has been very good. I can say this is one of the best houses where I have stayed and that if I can I plan to come back."

| "We have stayed in many houses, but this one simply bursts the scale! Huge space, completely private, Jacuzzi baths, air-cond, we were thrilled.
The are and the local town are nothing to write home about and offer little entertainment, But the motorway is 1 mile aways and the managers lend a navigations system which makes it a snap to get around to the local supermarket (excellent, by the way) and - foremost - to the nearby medieval towns and marvellous beaches.
We will come back!"

The area is perfect for anyone wishing to have a really relaxing holiday, and make the occasional drive to historical cities or one of the many beaches in the coast.
When booking on the Internet we were concerned as it is always a lottery. We must say in this case, the ad does not make justice to the house, it absolutely exceeds expectations."

Being a less touristic area of Portugal, we knew the environment would be calm and were a bit worried it would get boring. No way! We had a really relaxing - but thouroughly pleasurable holiday!
This is a extraordiny Villa: completely private pool and huge garden, on f the few properties around that is fully air-conditioned (a must as it gets really hot in the Summer, we've had in the past holidays under over 100º), 2 jacuzzis, impecable finish and standard of cosntruction.
The owners are very hospitable, they have a good welcome pack and the tomtom GPS system they lend us with previously programmed restaurants, points of itnerest, etc, proved really helpful. We stongly recommend to other renters that they rent a car and explore the area. The local town is small, but being 1 mile from the motorway junction, it is very conveniently connected to fantastic medieval towns such as Guimarães, Porto, and the beaches on the cost.
We will come back !

| "I already submitted a review, but am being asked by the site's automated engine to do it again so here it goes:
The property absolutely exceeded our expectations.
All features - Jacuzzi, Air-Cond, Private pool, are of high standard, and there is lots of space and privacy in the surrounding farm,
We had a great time just staying in the home and using the barbecue, but we also explored the region a bit, and it is surpsiginly diverse. The owners lend a GPS system to renters, so it is a snap to get around.
We will certainly come back!"

The owners were very hospitable and they gave us a GPS system preprogrammed with places of interest, historical towns, beaches and fabulous restaurants! The area is very interesting if one has rented a car and finds its way around,
We are definitely coming back!"
