We spent a wonderful holiday in this spacious house with a perfect pool and beautiful surroundings. There were little welcome presents (bread, a bottle of wine, peaches ...), which was very kind. Thank you, Luis! There was a lovely donkey next door who said hello to us. And of course, birds. We want to come back. Thank you, Robyn and Richard!

Everything perfect from start to finish. Clear communication from hosts, directions to Villa and check in instructions very easy to follow. Luis the property manager was there to meet us and show us around, the villa was cleaned to a high standard and all ready for us. The pool was fantastic, we had great weather and the water temperature was just right. The rural location suited us fine and it was lovely to explore the local towns and area.

We enjoyed a lovely week at the villa. It was well appointed and clean with lots of space for 6 of us. The pool, views and games room were particular highlights. Castro Marim is only minutes away. Seville is only 90mins drive for a day trip. The location is remote but peaceful, note a car is needed.

Very nice villa and pool

Quiet surroundings and no other tourists. Nice settings very good pool, but hot very hot weather. Comfortable house. After sunset lots of mosquitos so the warm nights had to be enjoyed inside - a bit dissappointing.

Beautiful location, super quiet

We wanted somewhere quiet with a large pool - this met the brief perfectly. We had a few minor issues which were resolved quickly and efficiently by Luis, who is brilliant. Rooms were comfortable, and aircon everywhere made for a very pleasant stay.

Quiet & plenty of space

Nice choice for a family who is looking for an off-the-bitten-track place to relax and recharge batteries. Plenty of space, a nice welcoming food & drinks basket so you don't have to rush to supermarket to get the basics.

We all enjoyed our holiday at the villa. It's spacious with good facilities; the pool is lovely and the games room is a useful retreat for teenagers. We had a quick response from Louis when the power failed and the local shops, etc. are easily accessible. A car is essential.

Beautiful villa in countryside location

Our 3rd stay which says it all really. Lovely villa in peaceful location without being remote. Pity abouf the weather for this trip but the games room came in very handy. Well equipped with quality items. Not the normal rental basic equipment. Hope to repeat next year !

Wonderful stay at Quinta da Lavanda

Quinta da Lavanda is a well preserved, comfortable and well equipped villa near Castro Marim and its beaches. We enjoyed particularly the terrace with the view, where we had our daily breakfast and lunches. Table tennis and foosball were a plus and we used it intensively during our stay :-) Last but not the least, there is a heated pool we couldn't resist to use even during the hot evenings! We hope to return again to Quinta da Lavanda next time we go to Castro Marim.

It was a wonderful week

This is a lovely villa with amazing views and in a very quiet area. We are three generations who spent a wonderful week here. The villa is extremely well equipped and everything was as described. Luis met us on arrival and showed us round and was very helpful. It was very hot during our stay and, apart from a couple of trips to the beach, we were all happy to spend most of our time round the pool. We also went to a festival at Castro Marim one evening which everyone enjoyed. We would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet break.

Wonderful property

We had a brilliant two weeks in this villa. Everything worked really well. The solar heated pool was incredible and we could enjoy it for hours on end as it was so warm. The large games room was fabulous for the kids. We enjoyed all the various terraces and outdoor spaces and the property has been designed really well to ensure there is always opportunity to sunbathe or enjoy the cooler shade. The property agent (Luis) was helpful too. The local beaches are just stunning with gorgeous soft sand. And the local supermarkets stock all you need. I highly recommend this villa.

Solitude

A beautiful villa not too difficult to find initially but once you arrive all your cares disappear. A lovely pool nice clean and warm (although it could do with a pool cover to keep the heat in overnight) A games room below with table tennis, pool table, tv and kitchen wonderful idea with access directly out to the pool. A home in the countryside for a peaceful time and not too far from the beach (15/20 mins) with plenty of supermarkets along the way if you want something on your return from a day on the beach much better than I first envisaged Good shaded areas out of the sun or breeze if required Many thanks for a memorable stay. Please give thanks to Luis for meeting us after a late arrival following an airport delay he was most helpful and always available should we have required his services.

Thank you John very much for your helpful review. We are pleased that you had an enjoyable holiday. On one point of detail, for future visitors, there is a pool cover put away after the arrival of hot weather. Luis will get this out, if requested to do so.
