Amazing stay in the ideal villa

Great location, lovely villa

We spent two weeks at the villa and it was exactly as described/as the photographs. Only a 20 minute drive from Faro Airport, but the villa is in a very quiet location. Joao, the owner gave us plenty of recommendations for shopping, beaches and restaurants which was so useful. Would definitely like to return.

About the host

Hosted by Joao

As an architect I love to do this renovation works on the Algarve's countryside. This villa was renovated in 2005 and well maintained since then. It is on the rental market since 2007 (through a Tour Operator) but only directly with the owner on Homeaway website since 2017.
The owner also owns Villa Marrakexe (https://www.homeaway.co.uk/p415863)
