Extremely easy quick access to Faro airport, v handy if you've travelled far already. Property is simple but has far more than most - a brilliantly kitted out kitchen, so Kuch spare bed linen, towels etc. super generous hosts, the kindest people who were there in an instant when we needed help but also very respectful of privacy. We learnt to play petanque with Jean-Noel and the children adored the garden which is vast and varied. The swimming pool is gorgeous even on chilly days, heated to 32 degress which was perfect for helping little children learn and gain confidence. We would return in a heartbeat and already miss our many lovely interactions with the hosts. A great place to explore the Algarve. 4/5 stars for price because the whole of the Algarve is expensive. This was actually a fair price for what we had a red and could get in school hols. Huge thanks.
Accommodation was compact, cosy and functional and provided all the necessary mod cons. It is located in a rural setting and yet close to all amenities with a rustic greenfield outlook. It benefits from a newly installed air con/heating system which was very effective when we needed it. The property has two small shower rooms although only one toilet which malfunctioned during our stay but was replaced by our host in less than 24 hours. The bedroom configuration is slighty different to the advertised photos with a double bed only in each room. The hosts Jean Noel and Michelle were very welcoming and always nearby to answer any queries. The pool is heated but at 32/33C was just too warm for us and sadly we made little use of it. The positioning in front of the hosts' own accomodation is something to consider in terms of privacy but it is very well maintained and easily accessible
Spent a fantastic week here! Sparkling clean, everything works, extremely kind hosts, a hyper-complete kitchen, and the best of all: the heated pool! We loved it - thank you!

Vielen Dank für Ihren netten Kommentar.
Es war eine Freude, Sie bei uns zu haben. In der Hoffnung, Sie eines Tages wiederzusehen.
Wir wünschen Ihnen einen wunderschönes Sommer.
We just returned from a perfect 16 day stay at this VRBO. Our stay at Casa Fado was wonderful!! The accommodations were clean and the facilities were well equipped. The kitchen had everything you would need to make complete homemade meals. There were bath towels, hand towels, facecloths and beach towels. Extra blankets and pillows were also provided. A new heating system has recently been installed which kept the house warm when the evenings were cooler.The pool was available whenever we wanted and it was very clean and kept at a comfortably warm temperature. A mention of wanting to swim to Jean-Noel and the cover was removed and ready for our swimming pleasure. There are also chairs and lounges around the pool. Excellent!The home is located where you would require a car. It is in an excellent spot if you want to be in the country with privacy. The house is overlooking the hills. A perfect spot!! The patio provides a lovely location to enjoy a morning coffee or tea with the sounds of singing birds. Exquisite! Parking is right at your door. A short drive to the ocean.We cannot say enough about the hospitality of Michele and Jean-Noel!! They were very inviting and met us, sharing all we needed to know about their VRBO upon arrival. They were very prompt responding to any questions we had. However, not at all intrusive. Full of information and a delightful couple. A holiday location full of marvellous memories! Obrigada, Merci and Thank-you both!
The object was sparkling clean the time we moved in. All furniture and equipments in the house were in good condition. The kitchen is quite well equipped (several more knives for cutting might be nice though. 😊). The pool is always clean and a really plus for our kids. Our 7y old boy managed to overcome his fear of water learned swimming properly in the pool during our 2weeks stay😃. The view from the front door of our house is breath taking. Ah right there is even a boule field on the property, which was also loved by our kids.
The owner is a nice retired couple and welcomed us personally despite the late time in the night as we arrived. During our stay they have always been very kind and helpful everytime we would need anything. They even gave me a ride to the car rental station. The answer was always quick. They speak English, French, German and Portuguese.
We really, really enjoyed our stay. The place is a little bit remote, so you def. Need a car here, with which you can reach everything easily.
Thx again Michelle, jean-noel for the wonderful time. The kids are missing you already. 😊

Thank you so much for taking time to leave such nice review, which will be very useful to other holidaymakers.
We look forward to seeing you again!
Het vinden van het verblijf was het moeilijkst. De locatie in de app brengt je tot aan de kerk in de buurt. Van hieruit hebben we aan de verhuurder gevraagd om de locatie te delen.Op 10 minuten ben je met de auto tot aan het winkelcentrum.Het huis zelf was in orde maar het toppunt waren de katten die je komen vergezellen als je aan het zwembad ligt!
Petite maison confortable en haut d une colline,avec juste ce qu il faut de vent pour supporter la chaleur.Bien située a proximité de tout.Proprietaires tres sympathiques et de bon conseil

Séjour idyllique à Almancil – Un vrai petit coin de paradis !Nous avons passé 15 jours merveilleux à Almancil dans une charmante petite maison, parfaitement équipée, au calme, et avec une très belle piscine chauffée dont nous avions l’usage totalement privé. L’endroit est idéal pour se reposer, profiter du soleil de l’Algarve et rayonner dans la région.La cerise sur le gâteau ? Nos hôtes ! Un couple de retraités absolument adorables, d’une gentillesse rare, toujours disponibles sans jamais être envahissants. Leur bienveillance, leur sens de l’accueil et leur humour ont vraiment marqué notre séjour. Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à échanger avec eux… et à partager plusieurs parties de pétanque dans une ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale !Merci encore pour ces beaux moments de partage et cette parenthèse si agréable. Une adresse que nous recommandons les yeux fermés et que nous gardons précieusement !

Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt !
We werden heel hartelijk ontvangen en de dag na aankomst zelfs verwend met een lekkere borrel en hapjes (op ons verzoek een dag later). Het huisje is knus maar alles is er. Je kan het terras afsluiten zodat je kindje niet niet kan weglopen (ook niet naar het zwembad). Voor kinderen veel spullen aanwezig (bedje, kinderstoel, badjas,zwemvaoe

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en Algarve dans la maisonnette de Michèle et Jean-Noël.
Nos hôtes ont été particulièrement accueillants et prévenants tout au long de notre séjour et nous leur en sommes très reconnaissants.
L'hébergement est simple mais parfaitement aménagé, et à noter, d'une propreté impeccable.
Encore tous nos remerciements à Michèle et Jean-Noël.
Françoise et Jean Pierre Seron
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. La location est propre, très bien équipée, piscine très agréable. Pour ceux qui apprécient le jeu de la pétanque, un beau terrain à disposition. Situation géographique de la location idéale pour visiter la région de l'Algarve.
Merci à Michèle et Jean-Noël pour leur accueil, leur gentillesse et leur grande disponibilité.
Franck et Stéphanie.
Les proprietaires sont adorables, surtout Michelle et qui est un sucre. Ils se sont montrés très disponibles durant le séjour.
Seul petit bémol, ne pas pouvoir emmener notre petit chien de 7kg près de la piscine afin de ne pas salir la plage de la piscine, alors que l'annonce indiquait qu'il pouvait se promener librement.

Merci pour votre appréciation.
C'est assez cavalier de louer un hébergement pour 4 personnes et de venir à 6 personnes pour profiter à moindres frais des douches, climatisation, d'internet, de la piscine, du lave-linge, etc...
Les chiens, mêmes petits, ne sont pas appréciés autour de la piscine, surtout lorsqu'ils font pipi contre les pots de fleurs et qu'ils aboient car ils veulent jouer, pendant que leurs propriétaires sont dans la piscine.
Un ptit coin de paradis où Michelle et Jean Noel sont des personnes a notre ecoute pour que nous passions de belles vacances... très bien situé au calme et proche des villes a voir ... merci a vous deux a bientôt
La localisation de la maison est idéale pour visiter l'Algarve. Nos hôtes, Jean-Noël et Michèle sont particulièrement accueillants et attentifs à nos moindres besoins. Ils nous ont également indiqués quelques sites et bonnes adresses. Nous les remercions pour toutes ces bonnes attentions.
Une location comme on aimerait en trouver plus souvent, tres propre, tres agreable, un vrai plaisir. La piscine superbe. On a pu en profiter au max, avec toute la discretion des proprietaires. Ces derniers sont d'ailleurs au petits soins pour leurs locataires, pleins de conseils avant et pendant le sejour.
Bref pas d'autres termes que "parfait" sur tous les points et surtout merci a vous 2, en particulier pour le cadeau du dernier soir...😉😉😉.
Une grande pensée pour nos 5 petits amis que nous nous sommes faits sur place😉😉
La petite maison de Michèle et Jean-Noël est conforme à la description. Il ne manque rien! On s’y sent comme chez soi. Les matelas sont très confortables, la climatisation est un plus, la piscine très agréable est chauffée à 32 degrés, un barbecue est à disposition. Michèle et Jean-Noël sont des hôtes très accueillants, discrets et disponibles. Ils ont fait le maximum pour rendre notre séjour agréable. Almancil est un bon pour de départ pour découvrir l'Algarve et ses falaises à couper le souffle, ses charmants petits villages et sa délicieuse cuisine. Faro, la grotte de Benagil, Vilamoura, Tavira, Ferragudo, Portimao, Loulé et son petit marché, Albufeira et Lagos font partie des sites à découvrir. L’aéroport de Faro se trouve à 20minutes de la maison. Un grand centre commercial avec outlet se trouve à 10minutes de la maison ainsi qu’un parc aquatique. De quoi ravir petits et grands! Bref, toutes les conditions sont réunies pour passer un excellent séjour! Nous recommandons vivement cette location!

En pleine nature, tout en restant proche des commodités. Voiture indispensable
Super accueil des hôtes
Maison parfaitement équipée, tout le necessaire, lterie convenable
C'était parfait !
Nous avons passé de superbes vacances avec 2 enfants en bas âge. Le logement était très propre et surtout très très bien équipé. Très bien situé, à la fois au calme mais proche de tout (maximum 15 minutes en voiture de la plage/ du supermarché / des outlets. Il y a des moustiquaires à toutes les ouvertures, c'est donc avec plaisir qu'on profite les fenêtre ouvertes sans risquer de se faire dévorer par les moustiques. La piscine chauffée était un vrai plus pour les enfants. Jean-Noël et Michèle sont des hôtes attentionnés et généreux en tous points ! Si nous devions revenir au Portugal, c'est ici que nous reposerons nos valises sans hésiter
