Great villa with fantastic pool
We had a great experience in the Algarve and in the villa. We knew that it is a bit remote, so a (rental) car is required. There’s plenty of great restaurants nearby though. The swimming pool is just fantastic, we had a great time! There’s always something that can fail in any house and so that happened during our visit. It’s how that is being dealt with that makes all the difference. Within 30 minutes, the handyman arrived at the house and immediately started to fix the problem while we were going out on a tour. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would love to come back some day!

Absolute perfection.
Lovely property in a very quiet rural area. With a car you are able to access everywhere in no time at all. I'd say it's the nicest and most complete rental I have ever stayed at. Excellent communication from booking to leaving, everything worked and it felt like an honour to be there. Would recommend this spacious and very well equipped rental for every occasion. Just spent a week there with my 6 year old son. Fantastic.

Beautiful Villa with pool.
A bucolic retreat. The villa was very comfortable and well appointed. The outdoor space and landscaping was fabulous. Collette was an excellent hostess and very responsive to our very few issues. Over all, the rental iwas a positive experience.

About the host

Hosted by Collette Richards

Host profile image
I was introduced to the Algarve in 1986 . I fell in love with the place and my husband and I have spent most of our holidays since then renting villas in the area. After years of looking in estate agents windows we plucked up courage to view some of the properties. We eventually found an old ruined house for sale in our ideal location. We bought it in August 2006 and started on our "10 year project".
After the long process of getting planning permission and finding a builder we could trust we started building in May 2010 and stayed in our new house for the first time in August 2012. Only six years into our project. We have now started to develop the garden. January 2016 saw the creation of the Mediterranean garden to the side of the villa. In January 2017 a variety of fruit trees (lemons, lime, grapefruit, apple, pears, mango, kiwi, nectarine and fig) were planted. The area in front of the kitchen terrace has been developed with borders and a path leading to the hammock underneath the carob trees (a lovely cool, shady place to relax). In 2019 a new pool and sunbathing terrace was built to replace the old eirado. We could then start to complete the work on the garden. A new lawn was laid and a Boules court added in May 2019

Why they chose this property

We spent many years looking all over Portugal for the perfect location. We finally decided on an area between the coast and the towns of Silves and Sao Bartholomew de Messines. The old ruin was ideal. It is amongst the orange groves in an unspoilt ,quiet rural area. Everything we needed as a family was within a short distance. Fantastic restaurants, supermarkets, beaches and water parks - what could be better.

What makes this property unique

It was built as a home from home. The kitchen is brilliant if you want to eat in or barbeque. The open plan area means that you can all be together if you want but there is also plenty of space to be apart - the play room above the garage is ideal for our two boys.
There are fantastic restaurants in the area - a full list is in the house with our personal recommendations.
A generous welcome pack of food and drink will be available so that you can have a snack (or breakfast if you arrive late) meaning you do not have to rush out to the supermarket when you arrive.
We provide all pool/beach towels so you can just take hand luggage if you wish.
