Lovely and quiet
Lovely, quiet hideaway within close proximity to Olhao, Faro and any amenities you may require. We started to do some birdwatching and all the sites we wanted were no more than an hour away! The apartment had everything we needed to cook meals in or we could eat out. It was clean and soacious. Mireille and Dingos were lovely hosts and we had some nice chats in our mic of English, French, Portuguese. The four little dogs are adorable. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely property, very clean and well maintained.
Mireille and Domingos were very warm and welcoming. They are very relaxed people who are easy to be around and they made sure our stay was easy going and comfortable. The kids LOVED the pool, picking figs for breakfast and exploring when they weren't playing ping pong. We felt very relaxed on the evenings we didn't go out to eat, it was easy to hang around the pool and to cook in our kitchen and eat in the garden. The local area was great, we spent a lot of time in Olhao, fantastic fresh fish and fun trips to the beach by ferry, we especially liked Armaro Beach. The only glitch was when our GPS took us to the back of the property when we first arrived - partly because a local taxi driver gave us backroad directions, so it was tricky to find, but if you go by the 125 and follow Mireille's directions it's easy. We had a great holiday and we really liked our hosts. Thank You, M&D, and highly recommended from us.

Tolle Unterkunft zum Entdecken der Sandalgarve
Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit. Die Unterkunft ist großzügig, sauber und schön eingerichtet. Man hat direkten Zugang zum Pool und den wunderschönen Garten. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich. Für die Kinder haben sie Sandspielzeug angeboten, uns Gurken und Salat aus dem Garten geschenkt und waren sehr hilfsbereit. Die vier kleinen kuscheligen Hunde haben uns zusätzlich sehr viel Freude gemacht. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt.

Séjour enchanteur en Algarve
Nos vacances dans cette belle région ont été absolument parfaites, et le logement de Mireille et Domingo a su combler nos attentes (2 adultes et 3 ados). L'emplacement de la maison, dans un cadre très paisible et à l'écart de la foule permet une quiétude vraiment appréciable tout en permettant d'accéder facilement à l'ensemble des différents points d'intérêts de l'Algarve. C'est dans cet environnement chaleureux et authentique que Mireille et Domingo nous ont très amicalement reçus. Le logement contient tout ce qu'il faut (dont des parasols pour la plage!), et les espaces extérieurs (patio, piscine, terrain de boules...) sont vraiment un atout majeur. Cookie, Minnie, Tina et Tom ont laissé un souvenir impérissable à nos 3 enfants! Nous sommes rentrés reposés, la tête pleine de très chouette souvenirs, en espérant avoir la chance de pouvoir revenir !
