We had such a lovely stay. The villa was a home from home, well equipped, clean and with everything we could want for a stay, including a pool table and board games when we were hiding from the midday heat! The pool was gorgeous and the gardens beautiful. Julie was a wonderful host and on hand to answer any queries and make recommendations.

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Sky Villa. The property is as lovely in the pictures as it is in reality and even more so. The gardens and pool area are brilliant and the location itself is very relaxing. The local village is about a ten minute drive and has everything you need and a great Saturday market. Julie the host is an absolute pleasure to deal with and replies to messages and deals with any queries without delay. A car is a must but there is lots to see in the area and only a 50 minute drive to some lovely sandy beaches. I would highly recommend a stay at Blue Sky Villa.

Blue Sky Heaven

Super, quiet villa. Ideal if you want to relax away from the hustle and bustle of life and chill out by the pool. Owners, Julie and Daryl, gave us some great info about the property and surrounding area, prior to and during our stay. Any problems were addressed very quickly. Lots to do within a 20-30 min drive away. Figueira da Foz only 55 mins away, by car, for a huge beach experience as well as clubs and bars there too. Aveiro is worth a visit too on the way down from Porto Airport. Super place.

Dejlig villa i rolige omgivelser

Vi havde 14 dejlige dage i Blue Sky Villa. Vi fik masser af informationer om huset og området allerede inden ankomst. Vi landede tidligt og Julie og Daryl var søde til at komme med en masse forslag til hvad vi kunne lave inden villaen var klar til os. Villaen er meget pænere end fotos. Vi nød haven, poolen, alle altaner/terrasser og selve området. Vi havde god kommunikation med udlejer under hele opholdet. Vi besøgte blandt andet Tomar, Coimbra, Aveiro og tilbragte 2 hele dage i Porto. Alt steder kan anbefales. Vi vil på det varmeste anbefale Blue Sky villa.

Tranquilidad en la acogedora Blue Ski

La villa tiene una localización estupenda con mucha privacidad y tranquilidad. La casa es muy acogedora y te hace sentir como en casa sin echar nada de menos. Está decorada con mucho gusto, además de ser muy práctica. Sus terrazas están muy bien situadas, las hay con sol o con sombra, dependiendo lo que uno busque. La piscina tiene sol todo el día y el agua está siempre limpia y a la temperatura idónea para bañarse. La zona de baño dispone de hamacas y sombrilla para tomar el sol cómodamente. El clima de la zona es espectacular, calor durante el día y mas fresco por la noche para dormir bien. Dos de las tres habitaciones tienen aire acondicionado pero no hemos necesitado usarlo. Muchas mañanas amanece con niebla pero enseguida despeja y te permite disfrutar de hermosas vistas a la sierra. La zona tiene muchos lugares interesantes que visitar así como mercadillos de fruta y hortalizas donde comprar frescas verduras de hortelanos de la zona. Blue Ski te permite desconectar de la vida urbana sin echar en falta tiendas donde comprar lo necesario para pasar unas vacaciones inolvidables. Gracias Julie y Daryl por vuestra hospitalidad, a pesar de la distancia, y por compartir tantos bonitos lugares y planes que hacer por la zona. Recomiendo esta villa, por la amabilidad de sus dueños y por su completa y magnifica villa portuguesa

Superbe Villa au calme

La villa est au fond d une petite impasse, pas de vis à vis, au calme absolu. Très belle et bien équipée, la propriétaire nous a donné toutes les informations sur la région et les restaurants. Réactive aussi en cas de questions. Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour, la villa est parfaite.

Villa pour la détente et le farniente

La villa blue Sky est parfaite : tout est là. Elle est encore mieux en vrai qu’en photo. Elle est bien clôturée et hyper tranquille. Par contre il faut avoir une voiture et ne pas avoir peur des petites routes. Elle est située en campagne c’est ce qui permet d’être aussi tranquille.

A well-equipped, spacious and high quality villa. Nothing but praise for Blue Sky Villa - just a pity we couldn't stay longer to enjoy it even more. Everything, inside and out, is well thought through and the quality is excellent.

Heerlijk verblijf

Heerlijke vakantie gehad. Het huis is groot en van alle gemakken voorzien (pooltafel was een succes). Het zwembad is erg groot en de goed onderhouden tuin ook. Het ligt in een klein rustig dorpje met voldoende leuke dingen om in de buurt te doen. We kregen een uitgebreide beschrijving van het huisje en leuke tips voor de omgeving. Echt een huis waar we wel vaker naar toe zouden willen.

Un séjour formidable !

Bluesky est une villa au delà de nos espérances!!! Une villa agréable à vivre, calme, jolie, douillette. Une villa où nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement . Idéalement située entre Porto et Lisbonne,en plein Cœur du Portugal centre. Une région simple et tellement riche en même temps.... Si vous aimez le calme, la simplicité, la beauté des paysages et la richesse culturelle..., n’hesitez pas, c’est là qu’il faut aller....loin des vagues de touristes et tellement plus proche du pays! A recommander très fortement pour ceux qui veulent vraiment connaître le Portugal et ses qualités de cœur !

Très belle villa, belle situation.

La maison est spacieuse et bien équipée. La piscine et le jardin sont magnifiques et très agréables pour passer des vacances relaxantes en famille. Les propriétaires, Julie et Daryl, sont toujours de bon conseil même à distance et sur place, un couple d'amis Portugais s'occupe de tout. L'endroit est bien situé, à mi-chemin entre Lisbonne et Porto, les deux villes étant accessible en voiture en à peu près 1h45 (le déplacement en vaut la peine). Sinon, plus près se trouvent beaucoup d'endroits très intéressants à visiter comme Coimbra, Tomar, Aveiro, … L'océan n'est également pas très loin avec de nombreuses plages sauvages. Bref, de très belles vacances à la villa Blue Sky et une location à recommander ! --------------------------- The house is great and well equipped. The swimming pool and the garden are wonderful and really ideal for relaxing holidays with the family. The owners, Julie and Daryl, provided us many good advices for visiting and on site, they have Portuguese friends taking care of the house and everything you need. The house is well located, just between Lisbon and Porto, both accessible by car in about 1h45 (displacement is worth having). Closer around, there are also plenty of very nice places to visit like Coimbra, Tomar, Aveiro, … The ocean is not far away with many beautiful natural beaches. So we spent very nice holidays at Blue Sky villa and I would really recommend this house.

Blue Sky Villa

Enjoyed our stay at Blue Sky Villa. House is perfect, quiet location, beautiful surrounding countryside. House is very spacious, modern and extremely clean. The gardens are beautiful and the swimming pool was a must to cope with the scorching hot weather in August.
