Lugar tranquilo
Hermosa casa y finca, los únicos inconvenientes son la cobertura de red, no permite teletrabajo y los últimos 3 km de acceso a la casa. La casa estaba bien equipada y es muy bonita, la finca está bien cuidada y el entorno es muy bonito.

Expensive but Beautiful House
The house is very beautiful in the middle of the nature but the acess by car is tricky with holes everywhere. The village is a nice place.
There’s no Wi-Fi neither any connection to the phones.
In August the pool only have sun until 17h30.
The dogs in the house next door are ALWAYS barking, including at night at 4am.
I am a little bit disappointed because all the house and the pool and etc are all made with cheap materials, the couch is old and weird, the bath towels were horrible, it seems that the owners didn’t put any love or money in the house and is quite expensive.
You have all you need inside the house and is well equipated.
The garden and the sky at night make all the money well expended!

Excelente propriedade para quem procura férias tranquilas
Excelente propriedade, com um ótimo espaço exterior, onde podemos passar uns dias de férias em absoluta tranquilidade, dado que se encontra num local bastante isolado e bonito.
Casa possui todas as condições necessárias para não nos preocuparmos.

Perfect Getaway
Everything was wonderful. The property is is super welcoming, comfortable and with everything you can possibly need. The outside deck and pool area were my favorites! It is located in the beautiful countryside surrounded by rolling hills, and just a 5-10 minute drive from the beaches and supermarkets. Definitely recommend and hope to be back!

House in an amazing location where silence rules. Beatiful and practical house ideal for 4 to 6. Felt privileged that my family could live this place for two weeks. No wi-fi and no phone connection - ideal for us. Will come back.

The perfect, rural hideaway on the algarve!
We had a great time, loved the tranquility and peacefulness of that place. The second-last house on the road in beautiful town Vilarinha with probably less than 10 people living there.
Close to nice beaches and in the middle of the "jungle".

Beautiful peace and quiet
He location is just perfect, great outdoor space (minus a few wasps living under the decking- but they were there first!)
The setting with the rolling hills and not being over-looked was so relaxing and l peaceful.
Villa is great, the only reason I did jot give 5 stars is that the mattresses and sofa are a little worse for wear, and there was not quite enough sun loungers for all in the villa. Rooms and bathrooms spacious and perfectly fine.
The setting and garden/pool area made this a great place to stay. Hope to be back! Thanks

Wunderschönes einsames Haus
Das Haus liegt wunderschön in einem Tal, 5 Minuten von der Hauptstrasse entfernt. Perfekt für eine Familie oder auch einen Urlaub mit Freunden. Es ist gut ausgestattet. Der Pool ist allerdings eher zum planschen und abkühlen geeignet, nicht zum Bahnen schwimmen, er ist sehr klein, für Kinder aber super. Und es gibt ja auch so viele wunderschöne, endlose Strände, die alle schnell zu erreichen sind.
Man sollte sich auf einen wirklich entspannten Urlaub einstellen - digital detox, denn im Haus gibt es kein W-Lan und auch so gut wie keinen Handyempfang. Nach Carrapateira, dem nächsten kleinen Dorf sind es 10 Minuten mit dem Auto. Ana, die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und auch ihr Team vor Ort hilft jederzeit gerne.

Erholung pur!
Die Eindrücke am Ort überbieten die Bilder bei weitem: das Haus liegt wirklich traumhaft im Naturschutzgebiet, es gibt nur ein Nachbarhaus, ansonsten ist man für sich. Der Ausblick vom Frühstückstisch fehlt mir, jetzt wieder zuhause, sehr. Die Außenanlage sowie das Innere des Ferienhauses lassen keine Wünsche offen und bieten Gelegenheit, sich auch in einer größeren Gruppe zurückzuziehen.
Die Küche und Bäder sind sehr sauber und voll ausgestattet. Und der Pool, der regelmäßig gereinigt wird, bietet eine herrliche Möglichkeit zur Erfrischung. Wir hatten tollen Kontakt mit den Vermietern, die uns sehr ausführlich im Vorfeld der Reise mit Informationen versorgt und immer zuverlässig und prompt auf Anfragen reagiert haben.
Wir waren als vierköpfige Familie Ende August, Anfang September 2016 in Vilharinia.....und können es kaum erwarten, wieder zu kommen.

Chillout heaven
The property, one of ~10 in a very small village is idyllic if you like nature, and peace and quiet.
If you are after gorgeous sunsets, or fancy a bit of surfing, Praia do Amado is just 10mins drive away.
There are plenty of restaurants with the freshest fish in the area. There is a small supermarket in Carrapateira (10mins) and Vila do Bispo is only a little further a field (~15mins) where you will find medium-sized supermarkets.
Fabulous and thoroughly recommended.
