The villa is beautiful inside and out and is so spacious. All of the en-suite bathrooms have a walk in shower which was perfect for my elderly parents. The kitchen is so well equipped with everything you need and you are spoilt for choice with three dining areas all of which comfortably seat 8. The garden is stunning, there are 8 sun beds and multiple areas with sofas and chairs to sit and relax. Communication was excellent before and during our stay and check in/out was seamless.We ate great food in local restaurants Le Marquis, Mahalo, Raizes and Piazza and barbequed one night at the villa. My family and I had such a wonderful, relaxing stay we cant wait to go back

About the host

Hosted by John Gilbert

Host profile image
We bought this property 18 years ago when the kids were small. It's always been our summer home and we have many fond memories. This is the first summer we are renting the property to guests. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

Why they chose this property

The Algarve has an amazing climate. We chose this area as it's easily accessible from the UK. Quinta Fernando is in the countryside yet it's only 20 minutes from amazing beaches and Faro airport.

What makes this property unique

Quinta Fernando is an old Quinta, it's away from the busy beach resorts they are close by if you want to visit. The countryside views from the terrace truly are stunning.
