We had a lovely stay at this delightful villa. Lots of space inside and outside, with a fantastic pool. We used the BBQ a lot and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Barranco de Sao Miguel area. Angie was a fantastic host - thank you once again!

We found this property very comfortable and convenient. It is located well away from the built-up areas of the Algarve but the coastal towns are within easy reach. The swimming pool is excellent. The rooms and the garden are very pleasant too.

A beautiful property tucked away on an idyllic hill side. It has everything you need or want for a break away from the drudgery of life. The pool is exceptionally good and most definitely needed in the heat of summer. Angie is a fabulous host and James was equally as helpful. Would highly recommend.

This villa is one of the best we’ve stayed in. The pool is lovely and there’s even a lawn area to sit in the shade. We had lots of fun evening meals outside. The villa itself is in a peaceful spot and much larger than you expect with comfortable bedrooms and a large sitting room. The area has lots of interesting place not just beaches. Honestly we’ve had a wonderful family holiday and I don’t think we could have found a better place.

Lovely house with lots of space and a great pool for adult kids (and paddling pool for small ones) Good to be up in the hills with a breeze when it's hot, but easy to get to Olhao and Tavira for great food, shops and ferries to the beaches. Angie was very communicative and some late night arrival provisions were hugely appreciated.

We have had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful villa , very private and peaceful . Fab pool and outdoor space to chill with a glass of wine and star watch .. inside was very spacious and comfortable with all you need including a comfy bed 🙂. A great little cafe with drinks and snacks is only a short walk away and of course all the wonderful places to visit in the Algarve are within easy driving distance . We all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at the charming , welcoming Quinta las Pedros and finally I would like to thank the host Angie for having us all xxxx we would love to return .

If you are looking for a holiday ‘away from it all’, surrounded by stunning natural beauty this is the place. The views are immense and the garden flowers are stunning.
The kids spent all day in the pool which was great fun. The house is quirky, cool and comfortable.
Action is not far away if you want beach life and ‘Slide and Splash’ water park was a good day out (for the kids anyway!!)
Angie was always at hand and willing to help with any questions. Thank you Angie and John!

We felt very fortunate to be able to stay in this very private villa with a superb pool and outside space, overlooking fantastic views across the valley.
A very comfortable traditonal farmhouse, with everything you need for a great holiday.
There is a small, friendly cafe bar a short level walk away. Very central for all of the Algarve's hot spots. Angie was excellent at accommodating our change of plans and her communications were outstanding, quick to respond and always friendly. We loved meeting Pedro the gardener on his tractor and David who was super friendly.
Thankyou for a lovely stay in Portugal
We have nothing but positives to say about the property. If you are looking for somewhere away from it all, yet close enough to the sea and resorts, this is the place for you. You will need a car though.The pool is clean, cool and a welcome relief from the summer heat.We had a couple of issues during our 2 week stay, but Angie was always immediately on hand and got them resovled in no time.Yes there are wasps, mosquitos, ants and all sorts of other insects aplenty, but when visiting rural Portugal, it's to be expected.We would recommend visiting some of the islands of the Ria Formosa. We got the ferry from Olhao to Culatra and to Armona. Absolutely stunning beaches with beatiful white sand, Turquoise crystal clear water and fish everywhere.We also went dolphin spotting with Pudim Real Boat Tours from Faro, and woudl recommed.

I can not praise our holidays enough. Everything from the first email contact with our lovely host Angie to the villa, pool, travel tips was absolutely perfect. Very easy and fast communication. All my 10000 questions were answered with much patience and knowledge:)! The house as such is beautiful and super clean. There was an added bonus of a maid service with fresh towels and sheets halfway through our stay, which we didn't expect! Much appreciated! And also our first breakfast essentials as we arrived late at night. So nice! The area is lovely, short drives to the most stunning beaches. Lovely towns and villages are also nearby. We had no idea how beautiful Portugal is and will be back!!!!!!

Patricia,
Thank you so so much for the glowing report on our house.
It is so wonderful when our guests are happy.
I forg.it to ask you if the aircraft flying over were quiet enough for you.
This was one of your concerns when you first looked at our house.
Thank you again.

A lovely rural idyll (with luxury heated swimming pool).
A fantastic (and spacious) house that feels remote, calm, and picturesque. The building itself has space where you need it (a great high-ceilinged lounge), a good annex-like room upstairs for teenagers to hide away in, and some great facilities. The kitchen is a little tight (this is a proper farmhouse conversion) but you get used it to and there are numerous build barbies for outside cooking. The pool was super warm, a good size, and quite deep. The neighborhood feels very rural, you're halfway up a mountain (well, very big hill), and there are some amazing views and lovely peaceful walks.
Coms with the owner were great - some helpful notes, direction (it is quite hard to find in the dark), and everything was sorted very smoothly. We were there for nearly two weeks and will be recommending the house to friends who want the benefits of being near Faro, while not feeling they are part of the hustle and bustle of resort life.

We had a nice stay at the villa. The pool is a really good size and we were glad that we paid a bit extra for it to be heated. Angie was a brilliant host and was always on hard to respond to any queries. It would be helpful to have a folder at the villa with emergency contacts for local drs, pharmacy, dentist etc and more information on the local area (e.g places to visit and recommended places to eat out). As mentioned in other reviews, the villa could do with some updating. The patio furniture is quite old and weather beaten. The bathrooms need updating with more efficient showers. As the villa is in a rural area, you can sometimes hear nearby animals but it is mostly a quiet and relaxing location. We managed to visit a few places in the Algarve. The villa is in a less touristy part of Portugal which suited us well.

Ein Haus - kein modern style, aber mit Stil !Wir haben in 12 Jahren Algarve versch. Ferienhäuser bewohnt. Dieses ist Teil eines ehem. Gehöftes, neben dem eine Familie wohnt , die man durch die Abgeschlossenheit des Areals schon mal hört, aber kaum je zu Gesicht bekommt. Das Ferienhaus schließt ans Haus der engl.Besitzerin an (die aber, wenn Gäste da sind, stets abwesend ist) und hat eine großes und ein kleines Schlafzimmer. Das 3. im Dachgeschoss, zu dem eine steile Treppe hoch zur Dachterrasse führt, ist wohl eher was für jüngere Leute. Die Küchenausstattung ist schon etwas älter und viel genutzt, die drei Badezimmer aber sind modern eingerichtet., die Betten bequem. Das hauptsächliche Leben spielt sich sicher um den großen Pool ( mit Kinderbecken) herum ab. Wie immer, wenn man weiter ins Landesinnere kommt, muss man mit irgendeiner Baustelle rechnen, und mit Hundegebell nah und fern , das war auch hier so. Aber nichts davon hat wirklich die Ferienfreude gestört. die Abgeschlossenheit des Areals, die Nähe zum gr0ßen Berg, dem Cerro S. Miguel (ca. 1 km), von wo aus man die Küste von Faro bis Tavira sehen kann, die Nähe zu Estoi, Moncarapacho, Olhao, Faro ( ca. 12-25 min. Fahrzeit) - das sind tolle Pluspunkte.- Die Besitzerin hat sich täglich nach unserm Ergehen erkundigt (meine Frau hatte einen Beinbruch) , für Probleme gibt es einen freundlichen engl. "Verwalter" sowie einen Pool- und Reinigungsservice. Manchen wird alles zu rustikal sein- uns nicht. -Gerne wieder!

Urlaub an der Algarve
Wir sind im Großen und Ganzen sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft gewesen. Die Kommunikation verlief reibungslos, allerdings kann insbesondere die Sauberkeit und Teile der Ausstattung bemängelt werden. Wasserkocher und Co waren zum Teil komplett verkalkt, genauso wie die Duschköpfe. Das Geschirr war zum Teil sehr versifft und vergilbt. Für sechs Personen gab es einen einzigen kaputten Wäscheständer. Ohne Klimaanlage wurde es nachts schon heiß, aber es gibt immerhin Ventilatoren. Der Außenbereich mit dem Pool und den Liegen war ein Highlight.

Für uns leider enttäuschend, Haus ist abgewohnt, Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt überhaupt nicht. Ausstattung kaputt, schimmelig und mit Steckdosen direkt neben dem Bett gefährlich für Kinder.Die beschriebene Restaurierung ist vermutlich schon viele Jahre her, es bedarf dringend einer Renovierung des Hauses und der Ausstattung. Im Hof ist ein alter Schuppen mit Schrott, auf den man vom Esstisch blickt.Hier einige Punkte, die uns gestört haben:- Küche dunkel und abgenutzt, im Ofen kein Licht, wie auch die anderen Küchengeräte alt waren und teilweise verschmutzt (Kaffeemaschine, Geschirrspüler, Kühlschrank – sehr laut)- Geschirrspüler spült nicht mehr richtig, Geschirr war schmutzig- keine Utensilien zum spülen vorhanden (kein Schwamm, Lappen zum Tisch abwischen, nur eine alte verschimmelte Spülbürste)- Wohnzimmer durch sehr kleine Zimmer extrem dunkel, daher nicht nutzbar für uns- Keine überdachte Terrasse zum draußen essen, nur am Pool draußen möglich, bei Wind und Sonne aber nicht möglich- unter Eingangstür großer Spalt, Ameisen kamen so sehr einfach rein, besonders wenn man dann dort isst. - Leider keine Moskitonetze an Fenstern oder Tür, daher kommen die Mücken auch einfach ins Haus- Es leben viele sehr laut bellende Hunde rund ums Haus, stört den Schlaf- ein Stuhl fehlerhaft repariert, unser Tochter hat sich an der Schraube in der Sitzfläche verletzt- im flachen Poolbereich leider viele Wespen und auch TaubenPositiv ist der Support von James vor Ort.

One ring of the gas hob was reported u/s.
Replacement purchased but whole hob eventually had to be fitted.
Re Door to freezer and damaged parasol - if my handyman had been told he would have fixed things.
I am sorry about the mattresses- I do ask guests to bring towels to cover them- clearly this has not happened.

Loved being up in hills, away from it all where we could relax by the pool, enjoy the views, bbq the wonderful fish we bought at Loule and Olhau markets and of course drink lots of great wine - all without being disturbed by anyone. We were lucky to have perfect weather too. It was a great holiday.
Une très belle maison avec une vue magnifique sur les montagnes. Jardin et piscine au top et idéalement située pour visiter le Sud du Portugal. Je recommande fortement!
Merci
We stayed for 14 nights at this Villa and it was probably the nicest one that we have stayed in over the last few years of renting villas abroad.
The owners communication was spot on and the facilities and surroundings were just perfect.
We weren’t disturbed during our stay which was wonderful as we like to have peace and quiet when we are away .
We paid extra for the pool to be heated which was glorious. (Well worth it ) , even though the weather was fantastic.
I would like to thank the owner for recommending a great restaurant Lagar de Mesquita , which we went to twice while we were there .
Will definitely be going back soon .
Très belle Quinta portugaise idéalement située ni trop près ni trop loin des plages.
Une authentique Quinta portutaise rénovée et meublée avec goût et comportant une jolie piscine. N seul bémol : l'équipement (cuisine, lave linge) est parfois un peu obsolète.

About the host
Hosted by Angie Davies
I am Angie, I bought our Quinta (farm) in 2004. It took us about 3 years to get our house ready for rental. We have been renting now since 2007. Prior to having our Quinta we had a property on the coast which became too busy for us. We love being where we are and manage to visit our house about 5/6 times a year. Prior to retiring I flew with a major airline and when in England we live in the Cotswolds
Why they chose this property
We wanted to get away from the crowds and this farmhouse, tucked away in the real Portugal had everything we wanted. We love the view, the tranquility and the people.
What makes this property unique
Our house is cool in the summer with its thick stone walls. We have lovely breezes in the summer and azure skies. We can walk to our coffee bar and sit and watch the world go by, we can visit a local restaurant and eat freshly caught fish. We can stay at home and swim, sunbathe and then when the sun goes down, switch the pool lights on and stargaze whilst we have a drink. Will we eat out, we will barbeque, perhaps we will eat in,? It does not really matter. We just love to unwind............... we hope you will too.
