We had a wonderful two weeks. The house is beautiful, fully equipped, peaceful, and offers plenty of privacy. The many birds in the garden are a delight. The location is a great base for exploring the Algarve's walking trails.

Fantastic house and location

We had a wonderful stay in this property - the photos don't do it justice. As other reviews have said, it's decoratively a little tired (only really the bathroom) but this was reflected in the price. It's the most peaceful, beautiful place to stay - the views from the tower at the top of the lovely garden are just stunning.

We had a super chilled 1st week of September Pool is absolutely superb in both size and temperature (there are a few mosaic tiles missing) - beds are comfy and Villa is very clean inside. It was boiling the first few days we were there and as other guests have said aircon would be a blessing - but the property is not listed with aircon . It is however well equipped and completely private. Jonny from Jacaranda was a welcoming host and Andrea (housekeeping) was also very helpful. Great location for visiting the Cacela Velha, Tavira, and Fuseta areas - The Beauty of the Ria Formosa and deserted beaches (just walk along from the umbrella sections) never disappoint.

Dear Ricardo, Many thanks for your very helpful feedback. We have recommended to the owners that they install air conditioning. The breeze through the house, as it is on a rise, is normally very good, but with the hotter seasons that we have, we will need to intervene!

Moncarapacho villa

We had a relaxing and peaceful family holiday at this wonderful villa. It is well equipped in the kitchen and has plenty of space both internally and externally. The pool is fantastic and the landscaped setting around he villa is beautifully authentic with carob, olive and orange trees. It was a hot week temperature wise, high 30s. The villa could benefit from a/c at night but this is not a complaint. We thoroughly recommend it.

Peaceful and homely villa

Just returned from a 10 day family holiday at the villa. Our overwhelming view is we all loved the place. The villa is equipped with everything you possibly need for a family holiday, from the obvious things (utensils etc), to beach umbrellas , cool box , Tupperware box’s etc. It’s a great location if you are looking for a peaceful and private location. There is a 900m rough track leading to the villa, but not an issue if taken slowly. Hire car is essential. 15-20 min drive and you are at a beach or Tavira/olhao for a meal. Angie was always on hand for help or advice on places to visit.

Get away from it all

If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday living then this is the place for you. Set in a very rural part of the Algarve but near enough to good restaurants and the coast. A car is a must as the villa is set about a mile up a narrow unmade road. Perfectly driveable though. Surrounded by orange orchards and nature. The villa was probably too big for my husband and I but would be perfect for a couple of families with everything you could need for a comfortable holiday. The outside space is amazing with extensive well kept gardens and a sparkling spacious swimming pool. I would highly recommend this villa.

Cash Alexandria

The rural Villa location is beautiful & is situated amongst fruit farms. The Villa requires work to smarten it up. Replacing bathroom sealant, throwing out broken/ rusty sun beds, parasols & BBQ equipment. Swimming pool was only cleaned once during our 12 day stay & bed linen changed 4 days before our departure. This didn’t comply with the rental terms.

Casa Alexandra ist ein wundervoller Ort zum Entspannen und Entdecken. Die Kinder liebten den Pool und das weitläufige Gelände. Mit einem Mietwagen erreicht man viele schöne Orte der Umgebung in kurzer Zeit. Es war toll, nach Ausflügen wieder in absolute Ruhe zurückzukehren. Wir haben viel selber gekocht, die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Es war für uns rundherum perfekt!

Ruhe pur!

Das Haus liegt mitten im Grünen, neben einer Orangenplantage in einer absolut ruhigen Umgebung. Ab und an hört man mal ein Flugzeug, aber das war es auch schon. Die Anfahrt geht über einen Feldweg, das ist aber kein Problem. Haus, Pool und Garten sind wunderbar, man findet immer ein schönes Plätzchen zum Lesen, Entspannen oder Sonnenbaden. Das Haus ist geräumig und es fehlt an nichts. Alles war sauber und gepflegt, zur Begrüßung stand eine Flasche Wein in der Küche und 2 Flaschen Mineralwasser im Kühlschrank. Der nächste Supermarkt ist gleich in Moncarapacho (ca. 2 km entfernt), bis ans Meer fährt man eine Viertelstunde mit dem Auto. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Hinweis für Gäste mit Kleinkindern: Der Pool ist nicht eingezäunt und über 2 Meter tief. Kleinkinder müssen hier beaufsichtigt werden!

Privé huis met groot zwembad

Het huis met 3 slpkmrs (gedateerd) met het fantastische zwembad van 6x10 meter en mooie tuin ligt afgelegen en bereik je d.m.v. 5 minuten rijden op een onverharde weg. Alle prive. Met een paar minuten zit je in het dorp met een kleine supermarkt waar ze verse broodjes verkopen en een tankstation. Olhoa ligt op 15 minuten rijden: grote supermarkt en restaurants e.d. Faro vliegveld ligt op 20 minuten afstand. Het enige tweepersoonsbed heeft een prima stevig, maar niet te hard, matras. De douche in de grote badkamer heeft een verrassende goede waterdruk. Kortom tevreden en voor herhaling vatbaar. Enige minpuntje: de 2 kleine parasols/standaarden passen niet in elkaar, vliegen rond je oren bij een windvlaag. Daphne

Rustic villa with excellent pool

Had a lovely stay here with friends. The villa is off the beaten track within 1.5 miles of nearest small town Moncarapacho. We walked to 2 restaurants in the town and had excellent meals. We had some lovely days relaxing by the pool and swimming 😎 Also did an island boat trip, and superb walk around the natural park. Saw lots of wild life.

Sehr schönes, ruhiges Domiziil

Das Haus hat eine sehr ruhige und abgelegene Lage, was wir sehr schätzen. Allerdings sollte der Mieter wissen, dass er auf einem sehr holprigen Feldweg zum Haus fahren muss und er ein entsprechendes Mietauto buchen sollte. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und gut eingerichtet. Unserer Meinung nach fehlen allerdings Moskitonetze über den Betten, die für einen erholsamen Urlaub in dieser Gegend absolut notwendig sind. Außerdem sind die Betten mit einer Länge von 1,85m für den Durchschnittseuropäer, definitiv zu kurz geraten. Ansonsten sind wir von Jacaranda holidys sehr freundlich empfangen und betreut worden. Gerne wieder😊
