Pros: Lugar muy tranquilo y acogedor. Tal y como se muestra en las imágenes. La casa era muy bonita, una casa tradicional de campo, estaba muy bien ubicada y tenía todo lo necesario para pasar una buena estancia. El terreno era más amplio de lo que esperaba, con muchos rincones especiales donde poder sentarte. Tienen una alberca justo en frente del porche principal, árboles frutales, barbacoa... En general, tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unas muy buenas vacaciones. Y, aceptan llevar perros (2) ¡Eso lo hace un lugar estupendo! La atención y el recibimiento también fueron excelentes.

Toller,naturnaher Garten. Haus mit Geschichte

Pros: Das Haus liegt etwas abseits auf einem Berg mit einem für uns wunderschönen, naturbelassen Garten,der Kinder- und Hundeherzen höher schlagen lässt. Überall sind tolle Pflanzen und liebevolle Details zu finden. Wir waren Ende April da und konnten schon reife Früchte direkt vom Baum essen. Das Haus wurde liebevoll restauriert und hier gibt es viel Geschichte zu entdecken. Es war sehr sauber und wir wurden mit selbstgemachter Feigenkonfitüre, Gebäck,Wein und einem Blumenstrauß aus dem Garten herzlich Willkommen geheißen. Der Check in war per Schlüsselbox sehr unkompliziert. Unsere Vermieter waren immer erreichbar und sehr nett. Cons: So richtig hat uns nichts nicht gefallen. Insgesamt haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Dusche ist für große Menschen etwas herausfordernd aber ansonsten war es ein entspannter und naturnaher Aufenthalt. Man darf keinen großen Luxus erwarten,dafür aber ein authentisches ,liebevoll restauriertes Haus in wundervoller Natur. Vielleicht ist noch für manch einen wichtig,dass man je nach Windrichtung die nahegelegene Autobahn hört. Uns hat es aber weiter nicht gestört.

Un havre de paix

L'endroit parfait pour des vacances au calme. A 10/15min des plages tout en etant a la campagne. La maison est super. Bien équipée..simple mais y a tout ce qu'il faut. Elle a été rénové..pleins de vieux objets de famille en decoration qui montrent l'attachement de cette famille a la maison de leur grand père..Que dire du jardin: un vrai petit paradis. Il est magnifique et grand. Pleins de petits recoins, pleins d'amandiers ainsi qu'une pierre pour casser et deguster des amandes directement récoltées dans l'arbre. La maison est comme sur l'annonce. Ca vaut le détour pour voir l'algarve tout en etant au calme. Des petits attentions gourmandes nous attendaient a notre arrivée. Et la communication avec les proprietaires est super simple. Bref vous l'aurez compris: C'EST PARFAIT!!!!!!!
