Great and very quiet holiday home

Neat and neatly furnished and very quietly located holiday home. Located on a 2 kilometer long country road outside the village of Santa Catarina del Fonte. Wifi is good and reception by Maria and her husband was fine.

Disliked: Check-in
After unforseen difficulties getting to the villa causing a lot of stress, we finally arrived... thirsty, hungry and tired. We were very disappointed at no welcome package. We have not been abroad for year's, but when we have booked villas previously, we were always greeted with a few essentials such as water, milk, bread etc. After our traumatic first few hours in Portugal we were ready to fly home the next day.We felt the villa was a little tired requiring some updating and unfortunately, lots of waste and debris around outside that simply required clearance. To end though, the location is beautiful and quiet which we mostly enjoyed.

Peaceful Countryside Retreat

Our hosts Maria and Paul were very friendly and accommodating. Meeting them in Santa Catarina made finding the villa easy. The villa overall was good and the fireplace extremely useful in the evenings. The kitchen oven not working made it slightly harder for our Christmas meals but didn’t spoil our stay. The new kitchen was installed as we left. The location is brilliant for peace and quiet. We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely house.

A great place to escape after a day exploring

We very much enjoyed our stay, the house was clean and comfortable. Maria was great meeting us in town so we could follow her to the house and had a bottle of wine for us. At first we thought it was quite remote but after a few trips to town it was really not that far and there are many other homes in the area. Santa Catarina was wonderful, great restaurants and a wonderful bakery. Only 15 minutes to Alvira, it fit our needs perfectly to explore the eastern part of the Algarve. The weather was still quite hot in late September so the pool was a nice relief at the end of the day.

Return to Paradise for Christmas and New Year

This is our third time to this little gem in the countryside and as always it was superb. We spent the whole of Christmas and New Year, a total of 4 weeks. Maria ordered us enough firewood for our holiday, so the cottage was nice and cosy, she even put flannelette sheets and pillow cases on the bed for extra comfort and warmth, I would strongly recommend this lovely place to anyone who wants it quiet at night but close enough to all amenities and beaches if that is your thing.... we will be back again and again

A gem in the countryside

This lovely little house is set in a valley with mother nature as your host, it is a bit of a bumpy ride up the 2km track, but that wasn't a problem and soon became part of the fun. You wake up every morning to sound of song birds singing and got to bed with the song of the Nightingale. The house has everything you require, no matter if you cook or eat out at the little cafés in Santa Caterina and the biggest BBQ you have ever seen. The owners Maria and Paulo are the nicest people you ever wished to meet and welcome you on arrival. The property was spotlessly clean and well maintained, we will definitely be going again, loved it... Tony & Margaret Bason

Sehr erholsamer Urlaub

Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohlgefühlt. Maria und Ihr Mann waren sehr freundlich, immer erreichbar und haben uns tolle Ausflugstipps gegeben.Der Bungalow liegt abgelegen, im hügeligen Gelände Nähe Santa Catarina. Wer es ruhig mag, ohne Trubel (so wie wir) der ist hier genau richtig.Man kann am und im Haus gut entspannen, der Pool wurde täglich von der ganzen Familie benutzt und WLAN ist auch vorhanden.Im nahegelegenen Dorf kann man gut Lebensmittel einkaufen, sonntags findet hier auch immer ein Markt statt. Oder man fährt zum Einkaufen in die nächste Stadt (Tavira), wo man auch einen schönen Strand vorfindet.Bei der Wahl des Mietwagens sollte darauf geachtet werden, dass der Weg zum Haus ein langer Schotterweg ist, der beim Fahrzeug einer entsprechenden Bodenfreiheit bedarf.Der Urlaub hat uns sehr gefallen, wir würden jeder Zeit wieder kommen.

Guidés et reçus par Maria et son mari, tous les 2 très sympathiques, nous avons découvert un havre de paix loin de la ville et du bruit…Le calme, le chant des oiseaux et des grillons sous la chaleur du soleil, un régal de détente dans une bulle hors du temps… et le plaisir de tremper dans la piscine !

Wonderful do-lots, do-nothing getaway.

The cottage nestles in a beautiful valley a mile north of the town along a dusty track, and is therefore very quiet and secluded. You can laze about in the sun all day or walk the tracks that meander over the surrounding hills (Google maps shows them all in grey). The scenery is stunning. Or you can use the cottage as a base from which you can explore further west along the Algarve coast (in our case, as far as Lagos) or further east into Spain (we got to Sevilla, spent a day and a night there, then went down to Gibralta and Tarifa) or further north into the glorious hills. Just down the road are the ferries to all the barrier islands enclosing the Formosa delta. The beaches are stunning and so is the wildlife. Something for everyone. Oh, and Maria and Paulo were delightful and did everything we asked of them. Hosts with enthusiasm!

Natur und Ruhe

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und waren glücklich über diesen schönen, ruhigen Ort im Hinterland. Die Algarve ist lebendig genug und alles gut zu erreichen. An die Fahrt gewöhnt man sich, wir hatten einen Kleinwagen und konnten die Straße gut meistern. Vor Ort hat es uns an nichts gefehlt und der Kontakt mit Maria und ihrem Mann war sehr verbindlich und unkompliziert. Dass der Handyempfang so schlecht ist, war eher erholsam und hat uns nicht gestört.

Quinta Rouxinol

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche in der Quinta. Mitten in der Natur. Man hört nichts außer den Geräuschen der Zikaden. Das Haus war wie beschrieben. Alles was man benötigt war vorhanden. Auch die Sauberkeit war nicht zu bemängeln. Man sollte evtl im vorraus wissen, dass man um an das Haus zu gelangen eine ca. 2-3 km lange unbefestigte enge Straße entlang fahren muss und dies bei der Auswahl des Mietwagens evtl. berücksichtigen sollte. Ein geländefähiges Auto ist von Vorteil. Auch der Telefonempfang bzw. Internetempfang ist stark eingeschränkt und nur an wenigen Stellen auf dem Gelände vorhanden. Dies hat uns allerdings gar nicht gestört. Ganz im Gegenteil. Dadurch konnte man sich noch mehr entspannen und die Umgebung genießen. Auch die Vermieter waren immer sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich und antworteten stets schnell bei Fragen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort Urlaub machen und kommen sicher irgendwann wieder.

Sitio muito tranquilo

Foi Agradável deu para descansar. Só se houve as cigarras e os passarinhos. Pena não haver rede de telemóvel e net o que para os jovens e para quem precisa de trabalhar foi bastante aborrecido. O caminho é de estrada batida de 15 minutos até chegar à casa. Mas no geral foi bom para descansar e a cada e as comodidades são boas. Tem tudo o que se precisa para passar uma boa semana de férias.
