This is a private home in the Algarve countryside, so it not being a hotel added a brilliant personal touch to it. From check in to check out, our stay was great. João was very friendly and helpful, also very diligent and attentive host. The place is very beautiful and clean, and the pool and Iberian terrace were massive bonuses for our stay. Also they have 2 very friendly dogs who love pets! This was definitely worth every penny we spent

This little house is a great home away from home. It has everything you need and more. It has spacious parking and outside space with a lovely pool for those warm days. It's far enough from the busy areas it be quiet but close enough to be a quick drive away. João is always available and willing to help and only a message away.

What an oasis of solitude that is close to everything without being disturbed by crowds. We felt like we had the best of everything and felt lucky to have been able to secure our stay. It is a gem of a VRBO. João facilitated the stay, check in and made a point to meet and visit with us. We really did not want to leave and were sorry that we hadn’t scheduled more time. His wife spent a lot of time helping us with suggestions and directions to all the local sites. If you’re going to Faro or the algarve, this is the place to stay. Schedule early because you don’t want to miss out on this place. Thank you, João and Sabina!

Can't wait to go back to Tres Alfarobbeiras

We had an absolutely fabulous holiday at Tres Alfarobbeiras! The charming spacious loft is situated smack bang in the middle of all the wonderful things the Algarve has to offer. The extremely scenic mountains start right in the backyard, many secluded beaches are just a short 20 minute drive away, the small charming and typical Algarve towns of SaoBras and Tavira are on your left and right and if you prefer a more lively city with entertainment and a large market, Loulé is just 10 k away. The loft has everything you can possibly need for a comfortable extended stay like a fully equiped kitchen with a large fridge and a large freezer, a washing machine, an airco, excellent wifi and so on. but what makes this rental home the best is the snug and homey atmosphere and the tranquil space outside with a lovely pool and even a secluded private sun deck on the roof right outside your bedroom. And then there are the wonderful and hospitable hosts Joao and Sabine. They are really fantastic! Need a heater or a drying rack? Just one short Whatsapp message and they immediately react to your needs. When we stayed there it was oranges harvest time and they gave us so much oranges that we drank fresh pressed orange juice each morning for three weeks! They even invited us to come celebrate labor day together with their family and friends on a day trip to the mountains, stopping also at an amazing restaurant (best wild bore I ever had!) and a labor day fiesta. We can't wait to go back...

Ein gemütliches und ruhiges Paradies im Grünen und nur 20 Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt. Joao und Sabina waren sehr aufmerksame und wunderbare Gastgeber.Das Gästehaus bietet allen Komfort. Die große Dachterasse mit wunderschönem Blick erreicht man bequem vom Schlafzimmer als auch über eine Aussentreppe, von der man auch in wenigen Schritten den privaten und von viel Grün umgebenen Pool erreicht. So gerne wären wir länger geblieben.

Das Gastgeberehepaar war einfach super! Sie hatten jede Menge Tipps für Ausflüge in die Umgebung und auch die kulinarischen Empfehlungen waren einfach köstlich. Obwohl die Vermieter auf dem selben Gundstück wohnen, hat man dieses nicht bemerkt. Im Haus war alles vorhanden. Von der Sonnenterrasse mitden Sitzgelegenheiten und den Sonnenliegen hat man einen schön Blick. Bei unserem Aufenthalt war es sehr sehr ruhig (auch kein nerviges Hundegebelle), so dass es herrlich ist, dort einmal komplett "abzuschalten". Leider konnten wir den schönen Pool nicht nutzen, da das Wetter nicht mitgespielt hat.

Haus mit Pool und schöner Terrasse

Wir waren 16 Tage im Februar bei Joao und Sabine zu Gast. Es war grossartig, Joao hat uns in seinem schönen, ländlichen Haus herzlich begrüsst und uns alles erklärt. Wir erkundeten die Gegend und fanden, dass es der Ideale Ausgangspunkt war. Es war schön nach einem Wandertag zurück zu kommen und auf der Terrasse einen Drink in der Sonne zu genießen. Vielen Dank für alles.

Magnifique propriété

Nous avons passé une magnifique semaine dans la propriété de Joao et Sabina, qui sont d'ailleurs très accueillants, sympathiques et de bons conseils pour pouvoir profiter au mieux de notre séjour au Portugal. La maison est ultra propre à l'arrivée, l'équipement est parfait pour une famille. La piscine est idéale. Il y a la climatisation et c'est un plus ! Localisé dans un petit coin tranquille, nous étions au calme, à une petite demie heure de beaucoup de choses à faire. Il faut donc prendre la voiture mais ce n'est pas une contrainte quand une belle piscine chaude et des transats vous attendent au retour ...

Endroit parfait

Nous avons apprécié le calme du site, son cadre et sa belle piscine qui ont ravi les enfants. Des accès directs pour aller en ville, à la mer, à la montagne . De plus le soleil était au rendez-vous, ce qui nous a permis de vivre en extérieur. Les hôtes João et Sabrina sont très sympathiques et disponibles si besoin. Je recommande vivement.

Perfect place to explore the surroundings

The property is a small house next to the owners home. It is set in beautiful mature Algarve gardens. The swimming pool is gorgeous and is for sole use of guests. Even though the place is beautiful, it is also a good idea to explore the area. Everything is around a 20 minute drive. Perfect location and stunning beaches everywhere. I absolutely recommend it.
