Idyllic rural location 15 mins drive from Loule. Excellent spot for a Peaceful retreat from the modern world but within 15-30 minute drive of shops, towns, beaches, airport etc and with all important wifi. Check in was simple with detailed information on all aspects of the procedure and the villa supplied in good time by Nicholas. The house was spacious and comfortable with all the amenities required for a great stay. The pool was amazing but durable our stay it was just a bit too cold despite the temperatures being around 25C during the day. There are no restaurants or bars within reasonable walking distance. Beware that the track from the main road to the villa is unpaved and rugged. Careful with the hire car as you usually aren't covered for damage caused off road. It's perfectly safe but drive with care. Grounds and countryside are stunning. We would definitely consider going back for a longer stay.

The tenants like the house being 260 meters from the road which brings calm and very relaxed atmosphere.
It’s a pleasure for us knowing that you enjoyed our property, you’re obviously welcome again.
Lovely property. Exactly as described. Great setup for a relaxed breakaway, close enough to a variety of beaches and touristy things to do. Will definitely consider renting it again.

Your comments are reflecting the nice words you already wrote to me : « wonderful house and stay » when you left the house about one week ago.
Very appreciated, thank you so much and be our guests again :-)
Really lovely relaxing stay with everything we needed. Location meant we weren’t overlooked. Great for watching all the different birds, especially the resident swallows. The villa is down a dirt track that is very narrow at times, but we got used to it. There were a couple of barking dogs that could be heard overnight, but aside from that everything was fab.

We had a wonderful stay at the nice villa - nothing to complain about, only the weather could have been a little bit better 😉
The communication with Nicholas was very well and he always responded immediately.

A rural and peaceful location, great for relaxing by the pool but with amenities close by. The villa was clean and spacious with great outside space, pool and well maintained gardens. Communication with Nicolas was very good with an easy check in/out process.

We spent a week at this villa, it was a gorgeous villa. The location was remote but that suited us perfectly and still only 10-15 minute drive to all amenities.
The outside space was idyllic and we loved spending time there.
The villa was well equipped too.

Nice villa in a very quiet, rural neighborhood. Nice bathrooms and spacious kitchen. Comfy beds. Nice view from the pool to the (distant) Ocean. The pool was nice and clean. The place is secluded so very private, but car is a must.

You are very welcome again in our villa for future vacation in the Algarve.
Family of four adults. Had a lovely relaxing break, with day trips out to various locations. Car a must, villa is well kept, some lovely restaurants nearby (5-10 mins in a car). Could do with some more towels, but otherwise well equipped for a great holiday. Many thanks, would recommend.

Duly noted for the advice for the towels.
Thank you for your nice comments and for recommending our villa :-)
Hope to welcome you again!
First time in Portugal and first time villa holiday. Was perfect we loved every minute of our stay. Villa was perfect. We arrived slightly earlier than check in and the housekeeper kindly allowed us to wait around the pool area until she had finished. The area was beautiful and peaceful. Only a short drive to some amazing restaurants. Portugal is so beautiful 🇵🇹 💓
We rented nicolas’ villa to go on a family holiday post covid wedding!
It was beautiful, the villa is well located under 15- 30 minutes from everywhere (airport, designer outlet, supermarkets, old town, zoo/krazy world, beach)
Great surroundings, friendly local people, great communication with Nicolas, responds very fast and very accommodating,
:)

It was a pleasure welcoming Lauren’s family and very happy that you had a great honeymoon! Very easy communication and not any issue during the stay. The villa was left tidy and in perfect state.
You are very welcome again for future holidays :-)
The property was secluded and in pleasant location with distant views of the sea. A car was necessary to travel to shops and restaurants. Villa was very comfortable and well equipped. The host was very helpful and contactable if needed. We enjoyed our stay.

You enjoyed your stay which is the best reward for me and I was lucky hosting guests like you, thank you !
You are welcome back anytime !
We enjoyed this nice house in a very quite and large garden area very much. Just some small ideas for optimization: better pans and pots in the kitchen, and a shower with more water pressure (which might be caused by the elevated location in the hills.). Maybe two towels instead of one per person would be ideal for a stay of one week.

It is a pleasure reading that you enjoyed our property very much!
About the water pressure, you are maybe right but also water pressure reductions are ongoing in the Algarve because of the drought.
You are welcome if you travel again to Portugal !
We had a fantastic time at the property, the location was perfect for us, 20mins to the motorway and Faro but so quite. Access track to the house really wasn't a problem,we had a VW Polo and managed no problem at all, the house was in great decorative order and had everything that we needed, the pool was crystal clear and warm.Thank you Nicolas for letting us stay in your lovely holiday home.

A lovely property to rent, feels more special than your average holiday rental. Location quite remote but that suited us. You need a car. We spent all of our time outside enjoying the pool and covered veranda. The surrounding garden is beautiful. The property is very well equipped, well maintained and clean. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to others and are hopeful that we will visit again.

We are very happy that our property suited you, still trying to do our best for the tenants to spend a lovely holiday. It was a pleasure welcoming you and you are very welcome again in the future.
I visited with my family and young nephew and really enjoyed the countryside and peace offered by the country location. Property has a beautiful inviting swimming pool especially as the temperature was up in the high 30s during our visit.
Facilities good but kitchen could do with a little TLC and we would have appreciated more than just a bath towel each (no hand towel provided). Would recommend visiting if you are looking to get away from it all

We had a lovely stay in the villa. The location was perfect for us: rural and quiet. The communication with Nicolas was always prompt and easy. The villa itself is basic but has everything you need - this is reflected in the very reasonable price. I would recommend taking beach towels and also extra pillow cases to make use of the extra pillows stored in the cupboards. I would 100% recommend.
