Modern villa with private pool and aircon, walk to beach and town.
Come and enjoy a modern, tidy and well-presented air-conditioned 3 bedroom villa in the beautiful and friendly town of Manta Rota, in the Eastern Algarve. Nicely decorated and fully-outfitted, the villa has 3 double bedrooms (one with a double bed, two with two twins each) and two full bathrooms on the first floor, as well as a WC on the ground floor. You can see a video walk-through of our property here: https://youtu.be/s-IQD1OA2TM
This villa is professionally managed and thoroughly cleaned by a professional company between visits. With only a 10-15 minute walk to the beach, the villa also has a beautiful enclosed outdoor space so you can spend your day in the sun by the private pool if you want a quiet holiday away from any crowds - or if you just want to have options.
For those who like to cook, the well-stocked kitchen has a gas hob, oven, microwave, and dishwasher, as well as a washing machine so you can pack more lightly and free up suitcase space for the wine and souvenirs you will want to bring back. The comfortable open plan living and dining room is laid out for socialising, and it opens on to a sunny, private wrap around patio/garden that has a handy outdoor shower, lots of outdoor eating space for dining in the sun and a large barbecue grill. A wicker outdoor lounge set is perfect for eating and relaxing well into the evening, covered from the sun by a pergola.
The villa has air-conditioning in each of the bedrooms as well as the living/dining room to keep you cool and comfortable during hot Portuguese summer.
The villa has a private pool (approximately 4m x 4m).
New for 2024- We have all new mattresses in all bedrooms, replaced the bathroom vanities in the upstairs bathrooms, retiled the pool , and replaced the toaster.
This villa is set in an excellent location in front of a small park within in a residential neighbourhood that is a 1 km walk (about 10-15 mins) to the beach and an 8 minute walk to cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and the shops of Manta Rota, so a car is not required. The beach of Manta Rota is popular because it is easily accessed on foot -no need to take a ferry or train- and has a convenient boardwalk that stretches up and down the beach, giving you full access to kilometres of blue-flag beaches. The water here is calmer and warmer than West, and perfect for families and those with children.
Golfers will also find lots to do as well. You will find four golf courses within 15 km, including the Monte Rei Golf Course which is only a 10 minute drive away.
If you want to see the region, the city of Tavira is a 15 minute drive west (or you can take a train from the next village over) which has beautiful historical sights with lots of shopping, bars and restaurants, or you can drive east 15 minutes to Vila Real and the Spanish border.

Fabulous fortnight in this perfect villa. Great location, great size villa and pool. Hired a car to see the rest of the Algarve. Just wonderful, can't recommend enough. The owners are super friendly and quick to respond to queries.

We're glad you had a great time, and thank you for the feedback on activities you found. We'll look into a few of those for our next visit.
Lovely Villa!A welcoming first impression with the glistening pool and sound of the water feature. The villa is situated in a quiet residential area which makes for a peaceful holiday.The villa is spacious and very well presented and offers many home comforts. The villa was cleaned to a high standard for our arrival and the welcome bag was a nice touch. The outside terraces offer shaded areas to dine and relax. Great communication with Al and Diane before and during our stay. Thanks also to Sandra, the Villa Manager for her attention.Manta Rota is a charming town with a low-key atmosphere and is an ideal base to explore the Eastern Algarve.We look forward to returning to Villa 23!

Thank you for your kind comments, Steve. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to your return!
Al's house is located in a nice neighborhood, about 1km from the beach and the center of Manta Rota. Although it takes a few minutes, it is perfectly possible to walk everywhere. The outside space of the house is wonderful and has undergone improvements over the years (we had already stayed in this house 3 years ago). The interior of the house could use some improvements and updates, but it was enough for us to spend a very pleasant week on vacation. I highly recommend it!

Hi Diana, we're very glad you enjoyed your holiday. Thank you for your review. I'll be in touch to learn what you think we can improve, so that future visits can be even better!
We rented this villa knowing it was somewhat close to the beach. However the quiet neighborhood of this small village gets us thinking about a return visit.
It is as advertised...within walking distance of beach, bars and restaurants. Food variety was great and many places to select.
After time at the beach it was so nice to “come home” to a private place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine poolside. One week was not enough.
Language barrier was never an issue. Our Portuguese was marginal, but so much English is common in shops, the beach and eateries. The villagers are friendly and helpful.
This villa had everything we needed, and we all enjoyed the pool. The patio areas, BBQ and beautiful pots of plants which lit up at dark with pretty solar lights made our evenings extra special. We loved Manta Rota, the restaurants, cafes, bars and the clean and spacious beach. The kids loved the entertainment at the plaza. Everyone was friendly, especially the locals. The butchers made us some impressive chicken kebabs. We appreciated the hosts leaving us to do our own thing but there if we needed them. We slept well as there was aircon in the bedrooms as well as the living room. The kitchen was very well equipped. We also took the ferry to Spain for a few hours and had tapas before returning. We wish we could have stayed for a second week.Thank you.

Muito obrigado pelos seus comentários gentis. Estamos felizes por terem gostado e esperamos recebê-los novamente.
Mais umas férias nesta casa maravilhosa, com os anfitriões nos recebem com muita simpatia e disponibilidade.A casa tem tudo o que é preciso quando chegamos, desde a limpeza, às máquinas que dispõe, às roupas de cama e aos confortáveis colchões. Fora da casa, podemos fazer grelhados, para quem gosta, e a piscina é ótima e sempre limpa.Gostámos muito, para o ano que vem, repetimos!
Tolles Haus mit schönem Aussenbereich, Pool und viel Platz
Das Haus bietet viel Platz (3 grosszügige Schlafzimmer und 2 komplette Badezimmer sowie ein separates WC), eine gut eingerichtete Küche mit Waschmaschine, Geschirrspüler und Kaffeemaschine. Der Aussenbereich ist sehr gemütlich und der Pool ist toll! Die Lage ist sehr gut - ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuss an den Strand und zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten im Dorf. Die Umgebung ist angenehm und ruhig. Die Gastgeber waren sehr hilfsbereit und immer gut erreichbar!
Repetimos a nossa estadia para ficar hospedados numa casa que achamos perfeita para passar férias.
Tem tudo o que é preciso, desde a cozinha toda equipada, aos quartos (bons colchões), à sala de estar ou ao terraço para quem gosta de BBQ.
Os donos são super atenciosos com o bem estar dos hóspedes mesmo estando longe. Recomendamos!

Obrigada Sofia, é um prazer tê-la de volta!
E obrigada pelo comentário sobre os colchões. Substituímo-los todos durante o inverno, por isso é ótimo que tenha reparado na atualização :)
Esperamos voltar a ver-vos no próximo ano!
Der Kontakt zum Eigentümer war problemlos, ebenso der Kontakt zum Host vor Ort - lief alles über Telefon. Das Haus ist mit allem was man benötigt ausgestattet. Einmal pro Woche kommt ein Reinigungsteam, wechselt Bettwäsche und Handtücher und putzt die Räume. Lediglich der Toaster in der Küche sollte ausgewechselt werden.

Thank you for your feedback Natalia. We will take care of the toaster; thank you for letting us know.
Somos repetentes, este deverá ser o nosso 3 ano.
A casa é perfeita para as férias, tem tudo o que é preciso.
O senhorio é 5 estrelas, super prestável e preocupado para que a nossa estadia corra bem.
A praia é ótima, podemos ir a pé (10/15 minutos) ou de carro (5 minutos) e com estacionamento gratuito.
Adorámos!
Excellent from the start. The villa owner was very quick to respond to questions and also reminded us about the toll roads just before we arrived which was a lifesaver. The villa is lovely and well equipped. It's obviously someone's much loved holiday home rather than some of the pure rentals. It's well equipped and spotlessly clean. Goncales from the local management company was also very helpful. I rang to report that we needed a new spare gas bottle and it was delivered within 10 mins. Manta Rota is a lovely resort and we really enjoyed our week.
A casa é limpa, está bem equipada, situa-se numa zona calma. Em dias de calor é melhor ir de carro para a praia ou aproveitar a piscina. O dono da casa é super prestável. A casa tem tudo para passar umas boas férias! Gostamos tanto o ano passado que repetimos este ano!
Casa com ótimas condições, apenas um pouco distante da praia
A casa é muito funcional, com as comodidades adequadas (apenas faz falta uma máquina de café expresso). Fica um bocadinho distante da praia pelo que com crianças pequenas, acabámos por utilizar o carro mais do que gostaríamos.
A casa é muito simpática, com todos os comodismos necessários para passar umas ótimas férias. Pequeno senão, a praia fica a 15 minutos pelo que tem de se ir de carro e tem de se andar 10/15 minutos para tomar um café ou ir a um supermercado. Mas no cômputo geral é ótima para passar férias em família!

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this house - it has high quality furnishings in a great location; walk-able to the beach and two villages that have all the amenities. And it's got a private pool and air-conditioning.
We love the location - It is located in a quiet residential area overlooking a small park, yet within easy walking distance to many restaurants and bars in two villages- Vila Nova de Cascela and Manta Rota, and it is a relatively flat walk to the beach. We felt the location was perfect for a holiday home because, let's face it, nobody likes having to be the chauffeur.
We have been renting holiday homes throughout Europe for many years and have equipped our house with all the things we like, and put in some small touches we have liked about other homes in which we have stayed.
We think our holiday home is special and we think our guests will love it as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
We have outfitted the house with everything we think you will need from free wifi to hair dryers to a DVD player and hope our little touches will make your stay memorable, and that you will love the villa as much as we do.
