About this property

Secluded Rural Villa With Private Pool and Lovely Views

Casa do Cuco is built into a hillside of almond, carob, olive and fig trees with lovely country views. Situated near the end of a cul de sac, it sees very little passing traffic. It is secluded but not remote - you can be in the busy market town of Loule in less than 10 minutes and several beautiful beaches and first class golf courses are accessible in around 20 minutes.

The house comprises a large kitchen, utility room and comfortable sitting/dining room. There are two letting bedrooms, a double room with en suite shower room on the first floor and a twin room on the ground floor with full bathroom next door. The sitting room and twin bedroom have French doors leading to the outside covered terrace. The upstairs bedroom has its own private roof terrace. The covered terrace has a table and chairs for outside dining, and overlooks the south-facing pool terrace. A fully-fitted kitchen comprising larder fridge (bigger fridge is in the utility room), dishwasher, double multi-function oven, hob with three gas burners (including a superfast burner) and an induction ring, microwave oven, and wine cooler was installed in 2017. The bath/shower rooms were upgraded in 2018.

Great fun
The villa was beautiful, especially the outside area. What a view if the surrounding valley! Was also really close to Loulé, the closet big town. Some issues: the local road onto the main road was extremely dangerous, there is no way to see what cars are coming without half the car being on the road. Perhaps some mirrors here would be useful. The mattress on the bed upstairs is very soft and needs replacing. Either AC or mosquito netting needs to be installed on the windows and doors as the heat at night was punishing. Other than this we enjoyed our stay very much, Pete and Anya were very helpful and the gardener and water supply man were also very friendly.

Einstieg in die Sommerferien
Super Pool, tolle Terrasse. Genügend Liegen. Und tolles Klima (angenehm und keine Bruzzelhitze). Gut ausgestattete Küche. Perfektes Ambiente. Fast null Mücken. Wer Action und Shopping braucht, kann den Pool verlassen und kurz nach Loule oder Sao Bras fahren. Als "super fauler" Einstieg in die Ferien perfekt geeignet. Gerne wieder!!

Excellent property with beautiful views
Very spacious and well maintained property. What makes this Villa special though is the very well designed outside space and the glorious views. It was very hot while we were there and we spent a lot of time just relaxing around the pool. The house managers were very easy to contact and very friendly and responsive when we had queries. We would love to stay here again sometime.

The best place I have ever stayed
Beautiful, spacious, well furnished, comfortable. The pool was big and well treated. The kitchen was beautiful and fully furnished. The living room was spacious and the table outside was very well posicioned. We didn't hear any noise while in the rooms and the beds were comfortable. The only downside was the showering part since the heating wasn't very well regulated and the water pressure was very low, but honestly in the end it was something very minor.

Gorgeous villa
If peace and quiet is what you seek the setting of this villa cannot be faulted. So secluded and private with spectacular views over the hills. Extremely well equipped, we stayed here for a week with daughter and boyfriend joining us for a few days. You definitely need a car however as there are no bars or restaurants within walking distance. Also, no consumables are provided so we even had to buy our own toilet roll!

Perfekte Urlaubslocation
Das Ferienhaus liegt an einer schmalen aber asphaltierten Straße ca. 10 Minuten von Loulé entfernt. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und nachts hört man ausser gelegentlichem Hundegebell in der Ferne nichts -gar nichts. Eine wunderbare Stille. Das Haus ist nach Süden ausgerichtet und man hat den ganzen Tag Sonne und von der überdachten Terrasse einen wunderschönen Blick in die Algarvelandschaft. Das Haus ist vollständig eingerichtet und wirklich liebevoll dekoriert. Von der Wasch- über die Spülmaschine bis hin zum Backofen ist alles vorhanden. Besteck und Geschirr sind vollzählig und nicht abgezählt. Man sieht, dass die Eigentümer das Haus selber bewohnen. Im Obergeschoss findet sich ein Schlafzimmer mit separatem Bad und einer kleinen und feinen Sonnenterasse. Im Erdgeschoss sind das 2. Schlafzimmer und das 2. Bad sowie Küche und Wohnzimmer. Vom Erdgeschoss aus hat man Zugang zur Terrasse und dem wunderschönen Pool....mit Fliesen und Delfin. Die Terrasse perfekt ist zum Verweilen, denn es befinden sich dort neben einem Esstisch mit 4 Stühlen noch 2 Schaukelstühle, von denen man aus in die Landschaft schauen kann. Nachts kann man die Beleuchtung anschalten und der Garten ist herrlich illuminiert. Das Internet war sehr stabil und ausreichend schnell - besser als zu Hause. Die Betreuung durch Anja und Peter war gut: kurze Einweisung in das Haus, danach unkomplizierte Kommunikation per WhatsApp und kurze Übergabe bei Abfahrt. Fazit: Wer ein Ferienhaus mit Pool an der Algarve sucht und dabei Wert auf Ruhe legt, macht bei der Casa do Cuco alles richtig. Man braucht allerdings ein Auto, ist aber schnell in Loulé mit seinen schönen Restaurants, der Markthalle und dem großen Continente.

Superbe vacances
La location de cette villa était vraiment conforme à la description d'abritel. Nos échanges avec la propriétaire et les personnes (Peter et Anja)qui gèrent la villa ont été formidables. Cette propriété est bien située et au calme, il y a tout le nécessaire pour passer de bonnes vacances. Évidemment la piscine est magnifique et toujours avec une très bonne température. Bref, des vacances géniales. Merci encore à Peter et Anja pour leurs gentilesses.

Relaxing Villa
Nice quiet property, spacious, clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen, lounge and bathrooms. Probably the best pool we've ever used. Friendly neighbours, good walks and a beautiful garden. Perfect location to visit local towns, cities and mountain villages where we found some great restaurants Still don't know which light switch turns what light on, but hey, that's part of the fun of the Algarve

Traumhafte Villa mit herrlichen Ausblick
Das Haus ist groß und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es ist alles da , was das Herz begehrt. Eine schöne, moderne Küche, in der es Spaß macht zu kochen :) Eine offene Stube mit Kamin und Fernseher...... alles wie im Objekt beschrieben. Der Pool vor dem Haus hat uns sofort begeistert . Er ist groß und hat eine angenehme Badetemperatur. Wir haben jeden Tag darin ausgiebig gebadet und auf der Terrasse relaxt. Das gesamte Objekt ist ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Auto kann man vor dem Haus im Grundstück gut parken. Wir (4 Personen) waren begeistert und können es mit gutem Gewissen jedem weiterempfehlen. Die Kommunikation zwischen Kate und uns war perfekt. Danke :)

Simply great!
My wife and I have just returned from a fantastic holiday at Casa do Cuco with our two daughters aged 19 and 21. The villa was everything we had hoped for, it is modern, spacious, clean and comfortable. Everything you might need is provided so that it feels more like a home and not just holiday accommodation. The villa sits on a good size plot offering welcome privacy and the south-facing design provides you with full days of sunshine and wonderful views of rolling green hills. The covered terrace is delightful for dining al fresco and for enjoying long cool drinks should you need a break from savouring the heat of the sun by the lovely pool This was our first family holiday in the Algarve, although the villa is secluded the road network is very good and we were able to use our hire car to visit a number of towns and the beaches for which the area is renowned. Loule is only 5-10 minutes away offering not only it’s market and historic centre but also possibly the biggest and best supermarket we have ever found on holiday We consider ourselves fortunate to have discovered this home in the sun, we have enjoyed a number of villa holidays over the years and this has been one of our most enjoyable, it is the little extras which make a difference such as the recommendations of local restaurants and tips of places to visit. We would not hesitate to recommend Casa do Cuco for a holiday and look forward to returning

An Algarve Gem
We have recently returned from a 15 night stay at Casa de Cuco (25th July - 9th Aug 2018) and had a fantastic time. This villa was perfect in every way. Such a generous amount of room both inside and outside for a 2 bedroom property. The new kitchen was stunning and had everything you needed including a wine cooler that came in very handy. The villa is very tasteful in terms of decor. The swimming pool was of ample size and the pool temperature was perfect especially as we experienced extremely high temperatures during our stay. The location of the property was just what we wanted - away from all the hustle of bustle but within a 5 minute drive to the nearest town of Loule. The surrounding views are stunning. Will we return ---- most definitely and all being well, next summer Thank you Kate for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home

Lovely villa in a great location
Villa was fantastic, everything we needed for our 10 day stay. The pool was great and with temperatures nudging 30 deg. C it was nice to cool off. The location is great, secluded and private, yet close enough to Loule and all the amenities with good access to the road network to get to any area of the Algarve with ease. We loved the outside seating area, sunny in the mornings and shaded in the heat of the day. If you wanted 100% sunshine, the sun beds by the pool offered this until the sun disappeared in the early evenings. Inside, the villa was clean and comfortable, a lovely new kitchen, and great to have an extra fridge in the utility room. Truth was because the weather was so good we spent many hours outside and not much time inside. We hope to return in the future.

Sehr schönes und ruhig gelegenes Haus
Wir konnten in dem wunderbaren Ferien-Haus mit schönem Pool einen schönen Urlaub verleben. Alles war sehr sauber und der Garten war sehr gepflegt. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und wir können das Haus für Urlauber, die die abgeschiedene, ländliche Ruhe suchen, nur weiterempfehlen.
