Great holiday, lovely little farmhouse, helpful property owner! Photos don’t do it justice.

Amazing! The photos really don’t do this property justice it’s so very beautiful! The farmhouse was amazing and the pool was gorgeous! The kids had so much fun! The Algarve was such a great location, we really enjoyed all of it! Jeep Safari and boat trip to see the caves and dolphins were awesome. Totally recommend it all for a lovely sunny and relaxing holiday and a bit of adventure thrown in!

Beautiful Portuguese Farmhouse

A great property with everything you could need for an enjoyable holiday. The owner, Scott, could not be more helpful. The Farmhouse has been beautifully restored to retain its original characteristics. We were a party of six adults and three children (8,5 and 3). The highlight of the property for us was the large pool, spending many happy hours playing with the children or just relaxing. We will definitely be booking another visit. Other reviews have mentioned the road noise but this was never a problem for us - if you need absolute silence look elsewhere. We would also recommend flip-flops or jelly shoes (especially for the children) because the path to the pool is a little uneven and the floor tiles do get very hot in the sun.

Férias

Passamos uma semana neste magnífica casa de campo. A casa e enorme, tem todas as comodidades. O proprietário resolveu logo o problema da piscina mas infelizmente não ficou em condições. A água estava verde e estragou os fatos de banho, mas isso não depende do proprietário.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Gourlay

I live in the Cotswolds with my wife, 3 children and our pet labradoodle.

We have spent most summer holidays in Portugal whilst our children were small and this house has been a great place to relax with the family.

Why they chose this property

My mother bought this house over 25 years ago , whilst she was working in Portugal.

It was a bit of a restoration project. When she bought it the house was half derelict and had no bathroom or kitchen. The current lounge was a barn and the Kitchen a chicken house.

We love the countryside around this area and feel you are far enough away from the crowds to really relax but at the same time you can get to the coast in 20 mins for a day out at a great beach or attraction.

What makes this property unique

This property is different to many properties you will find along the Algarve. It is a genuine Portuguese farmhouse which has a rustic look and feel.
The house has retained some of it's original Portuguese charm , with thick walls , cane roofs and old tiles .

The old walled garden is really special, tiled paths meander around the mature plants and tree's. There are lots of shady spots to sit and while away your day.

The large pool area is also lovely and enclosed within another part of the garden.
