Fabulous property

The house was in a fantastic position between the town and the beach which was ideal for our type of holiday. The Property itself was clean and very well equipped with lots of space. The roof terrace was huge and a great area for chilling. All in all a fantastic experience.

We had a great holiday in Alvor

The property is exactly as shown on the web site and was perfect for our needs. Communications and arrangements for access to the property were made easy by Ian. The villa was clean and well equipped. It has a spacious roof terrace which is perfect for sunbathing and a shady courtyard for when the heat gets too much. The location is perfect, situated between the beach, the town and the waterfront, everything you could need is within a short walk.

Lovely place and communication

We loved to stay here (again). Communication with the owner, Ian, was very cool. I did a specific request and he does exactly what I ask. Very attentive. The house is very good and near beach. It was very clean, except the terrace that has too much dust (again). We stayed here for a second time and I believe that this is not the last. Thank you very much.

Wir hatten schöne zwei Wochen im Casa Palmeiras. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig, es gibt in allen Schlafzimmern sowie im Wohnzimmer eine Klimaanlage und die Küche ist hervorragend ausgestattet um für viele Leute zu kochen. Auch den Grill auf der Terrasse haben wir gerne genutzt.Die Betten sind sehr bequem (wir lieben eher festere Matratzen)!Zum Strand, zum Supermarkt und ins Zentrum von Alvor kommt man jeweils in maximal 10 Minuten, perfekt!Die Nachbarschaft war eher laut vor allem durch viel Hundegebell, da wir aber einen temperamentvollen 3jährigen dabeihatten, haben wir sicher auch unseren Teil an Lärm verursacht und so hat es für uns gut gepasst!Die Kommunikation mit Ian war außerdem super, wir haben das Haus sofort gefunden.Ein kleiner Wehrmutstropfen: Während unseres Aufenthalts gab es ein paar kleine Probblemchen im Haus. Kein Strom in einem Zimmer, kein Warmwasser… es wurde sich aber von unserem Kontakt Silvia immer SOFORT um alles gekümmert.Da das Haus im Vergleich zu anderen Ferienhäusern in der Gegend aber sehr günstig ist, haben wir nicht damit gerechnet, dass immer alles perfekt ist und finden, die Preis-Leistung sehr in Ordnung!!Vielen Dank für diese schöne Zeit!

Ideales Haus für Mehrgenerationen-Gruppe

Mit den 4 Schlafzimmern und den 2 Bädern war ein entspannter Urlaub in der Großfamilie möglich. Die Lage zwischen Strand und trubeliger Altstadt ist optimal. Alles zu Fuß erreichbar. Trotzdem bekommt man vom Treiben der Altstadt nichts mit.

A casa é ótima. Grande, bem localizada, com excelentes áreas e todas as facilidades com fácil acesso. O pátio e terraços estavam um pouco sujos mas a limpeza do interior da casa estava impecável.

Ar condicionado enganoso

Propriedade mt bem localizada. Casa grande, ideal para grupos numerosos. De lamentar que indiquem que tem ar condicionado quando, na verdade, apenas um quarto no 1.º andar tem. A casa é bastante quente e as ventoinhas existentes não refrescam o suficiente.

About the host

Host profile image
Ian & Lesley Melvin ...........
.... originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, we now live in the countryside near Cahors in South West France.
We discovered Alvor six years ago when touring Portugal in our campervan and immediately fell in love with the little town and it's laid back Portuguese lifestyle.
So much so that we have come back every year since!
In 2017 we found "Casa Palmeiras"
We particularly enjoy the location of the villa as everywhere is within easy reach on foot.
You can walk to beaches and boardwalks, restaurants and different to our life in rural France.
We hope you enjoy staying here as much as we do!
