Beautifully designed private villa, fully equipped with everything you could possibly need - home from home with fabulous views over Vale Formosa. Peaceful but only a short drive into Tavira where there’s plentiful bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets. We would definitely love to come again!
Dear Michael,
Thank you for your review. We are very happy that you enjoyed the property and your holidays. We look forward to having you stay with us in the future.
Thank you.

Great vacation, very chilled.
Villa about a 10 minute drive into the town, taxi were easy to arrange and everything was close to the villa.
A car is essential for location
Our stay at the villa was absolutely amazing! We were a group of 6 adults and 3 children, and we never felt cramped—there was plenty of space for everyone. The villa had everything we needed for a perfect 10-night stay.The surrounding area was exactly what we were looking for: peaceful and quiet, yet just 5 minutes by car to town and 15 minutes to the beaches. You’ll definitely need a car to get around, but it’s worth it.The only small downside was that pool towels weren’t provided, but that’s a minor issue in the grand scheme of things.We would definitely come back to this villa—highly recommended!
The house is closed to Tavira city center (5min by car) and 15min of some of incredible beaches, still is located in a very quiet rural area. The views are amazing!
The house is well equipped, uts has BBQ but no expresso coffee machine.
Happy homes welcomed us and they really helpful.

Our family of 6 adults found this newly constructed villa in the countryside outside of Tavira to be an ideal location for our stay. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and fully furnished. The location allowed us to take daily short drives to explore the southern Algarve region (Tavira, Albufeira, Lagos), and also spend some time in Spain (Sevilla) The beaches that were a short drive from the house were amazing. Highly recommended.
Special kudos to the property management that responded to our every need.

Property was spacious and well presented. Slightly further out of town than expected and quite isolated - you need a car. Swimming pool and deck are in a really sunny spot - more/better shade provision would be appreciated. It would be nice to provide a more modern coffee machine. That aside - we really enjoyed the stay and the local agent was very responsive.

We were two couples who regularly holiday in the Algarve. We were very pleased with the villa which had a large kitchen with every gadget and utensil you could need. The large comfortable sofas made evening video watching a treat. Books, CDs and DVDs have been provided too. The patio has many chairs, a table and salt water pool. The master bedroom is amazing. The other double bedded room was smaller and on the upper floor. Only a 10 min drive to Tavira. We loved this villa

We are a family of 6 with ages ranging from 7 to 79. The welcome by the villa rep was the best I’ve had. She provided a tour around the villa and all its amenities. The villa itself is well looked after, I would say the pictures don’t do it justice as the outdoor area with the sunbeds and pool are larger than the pictures suggest. Apart from this the pictures are accurate. The location is peaceful, but is remote, you need a car wherever you go, but everything is very close in a car. Tavira itself is very nice, however if you are not keen on walking, or struggle then the limited parking may be a problem. Overall we enjoyed our stay!!

The villa was perfect for the needs of our group (two adults, three teens and one 11 year old) with plenty space for everyone.
We absolutely loved the location and although the pool is quite small compared to other villas we have stayed in it was still a good place to cool down. We chose not to hire a car and found local taxi companies and Uber perfect for exploring the local areas.
The team at Happy Holidays we also great, particularly when we had a medical emergency that required an ambulance - they came to the property immediately to help us communicate with the paramedics- I’m so thankful for their support.
I would recommend that the owners put a clear notice in the handbook with an exact address for the villa to assist any emergency call outs in future perhaps with clear instructions how to locate the villa.
Future guests will have a marvellous time- remember mosquito deterrent - at this beautiful and relaxing home.
Mooi en proper huis, waar alles aanwezig is voor een zorgeloos verblijf.
Prachtige rustige omgeving. Helaas, maar daar zijn andere verantwoordelijk voor, konden wij 's avonds vanaf 19u tot soms laat 22u30 niet van het terras, de sterren en de anders zo stille omgeving genieten door een roedel honden die urenlang hysterisch blaften. We denken van een kennel in de buurt. Dit is het enige spijtig genoeg "grote" minpunt. Voor de rest een prachtig huis in een prachtig stukje Algarve!

Thank you, and we would love to have you stay with us again!

Exatamente como descrito, bastante satisfeito com a casa, cozinha muito bem equipada, muito limpo, exterior extraordinário, piscina com dimensões ideais para crianças, sempre com sol.
Menos bom só mesmo o acesso/estrada mas não afecta na escolha
Detalhe a melhorar, falta um gel para mãos na casa de banho de serviço
