Beautiful, peaceful villa in the algarve countryside

What a beautiful Villa! Tucked away in a peaceful, secluded area just outside Moncarapacho, the villa was really well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The villa itself is clean and spacious, with a gorgeous pool and surrounding gardens. Can't think of a thing that would make it better other than being there longer! Would definitely return.

Lovely property in a tranquil location

Our group of 4 stayed at Casa Dominic late August 2023. After each busy day of sight seeing it was a pleasure to return to the home for a swim in the pool and enjoy the sunsets from the roof. We found the home exactly as described and the host responded quickly to any queries. Highly recommended for those wishing for a quiet stay in a private setting.

Fabulous Family Holiday

We have just returned from a fantastic 10 days at Villa Dominica. The villa was beautifully clean on arrival and the mid-point clean was appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped and the outside areas offer a variety of sun and shade. The roof terrace is amazing - particularly enjoyed in the evenings for star gazing in the coolness Richard and Treasa were really helpful with local knowledge and any villa questions. Plenty to see in the local area and the fiat Panda even managed the track to the villa! We would love to return on day. Thank you

Lovely villa with pool in rural Portugal

The villa is very well-equipped and has everything you need to cater at home. It was extremely clean and tidy and the gardens were looked after. We liked the off-beat setting; quiet and neighbours just far enough away. Lots to do in the area. Fuseta and Barril beaches are great days out. Perhaps a parasol for use on the beach would be a good idea as rentals are quite pricey for a family. Tavira was a lovely town and the nearby 22 makes access to other towns very easy. We visited Silves which was great for castle and museum fix; try the Hidden Moorish Cafe for tapas and drinks with a stunning view. A really good villa and location for a relaxing holiday and variety of days out.

Tranquil week away in Portugal

We had a lovely stay in Moncarapacho. This house is a home away from home with all the equipment you need for a week away. It’s close enough to all the beaches/attractions whilst being remote enough to have a very relaxing and peaceful time in the hills, with little noise from the outside world. My son especially loved the swimming pool; cold to start with but you got used to the temperature quickly. I’m sure it probably is warmer in the summer - it was 22 degrees when we were there (Beginning of April). We really enjoyed our first holiday together abroad and we want to thank the owners for allowing us to use their beautiful home, giving us a chance to relax. The only thing missing was a cheese-grater!

SECLUDED STAY

Villa Dominico is beautifully situated in a quiet location a couple of miles outside the village of Moncarapacho. The property is spacious and comfortable with a large kitchen diner, a big garden including a patio and swimming pool. We stayed in February and took advantage of the south facing veranda to soak up some much needed sunshine. Although the evenings were understandably cool the wood burner provided plenty of warmth for the lounge. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering, though Moncarapacho does host two small supermarkets and several restaurants which while not haute cuisine, provide delicious and reasonably priced food. The Apetit in particular offers excellent Tapas. Nearby Fuseta has an excellent beach and restaurants while Olhao, Tavira and Loule are all nearby and worth visiting. There are a couple of neighbouring properties to the villa but the blissful peace and quiet was never disturbed. Obviously because of its location, a vehicle is a prerequisite. We would happily return to Villa Dominico.

Comunicação difícil e desconfiança

O sítio é maravilhoso mas senti sempre um nível de desconfiança do proprietário em relação a nós, possivelmente por sermos portugueses. Inclusivamente foi-nos pedido mais dinheiro, a certa altura, logo após ter passado o período de cancelamento, porque seríamos mais hóspedes dos que estava inicialmente precisto. No entanto, a lotação da casa não ultrapassava o máximo, e uma simulação para período idêntico de tempo, indicava que o valor seria o mesmo para 2 ou 5 pessoas, como foi o caso. O proprietário não é português e a casa tem todas as instruções apenas em inglês, embora seja em Portugal. Depois de fazermos o check in independente, cuja explicação estava incompleta (ha uma caixa com a chave junto à porta e um alarme no interior que não foram referidos) aparece a pessoa responsável pela casa, entra na propriedade sem qualquer aviso prévio, já estávamos em roupas de banho, instalados e confortáveis… foi muito desagradável. Os responsáveis pela casa em Portugal eram muito simpáticos e prestáveis. Pediram desculpa pela intrusão, e achavam que o proprietario tinha avisado da sua ida lá, coisa que não fez, embora a comunicação tenha sido quase sempre muito rápida com ele. Outro ponto importante: o grelhador é móvel, não é uma churrasqueira integrada com apoio. No entanto, tem alguma dimensão.

Schöne Villa in absoluter ruhiger Lage!

Eine gut ausgestattete Poolvilla. Schöner Pool, Garten ein wenig vernachlässigt. Auf der Terrasse großer Tisch und mit hervorragendem Weitblick. Große Küche mit viel Ablagemöglichkeiten. Schattenplätze, schöne Liegen, Mückengitter vorhanden. Pool sehr schön, leider keine Außendusche! 1 Schlafzimmer mit einem Doppelbett - recht schmal 1 Schlafzimmer mit zwei Einzelbetten, Matratzen leider durchgelegen! Äußerst schwieriger Anfahrtsweg (Schotterpiste 2 km) Sehr nette Konversation mit dem Besitzer und den Betreuern des Objekts.

Erholung pur

Wir hatten mit 2 Kindern (8/12) einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt dort. Das Haus liegt etwas abgeschieden, aber dafür herrlich ruhig. Genauso wie wir es uns gewünscht hatten. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist absolut gut, alles was man braucht, ist vorhanden. Nur die Messer waren alle etwas stumpf. Wer also gerne kocht, sollte ein scharfes Messer mitnehmen. 😉 Der Pool hat eine perfekte Größe und Tiefe. Kinder sollten aber schwimmen können, da die Tiefe, bis auf den Einstieg, gleich ist. Wir haben in den 2 Wochen nichts vermisst, und sehr sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

Mooie villa, rustig gelegen, net geen vijf sterren

Heerlijk huis, fijn zwembad en tal van plekken om in de schaduw te zitten. Omgeving is interessant, op kleine afstand (15 min rijden) van mooie stranden. Keuken is ruim, met aparte tafel. Ik zou vijf sterren gegeven hebben als de uitrusting iets completer was geweest. Voor dit geld verwacht ik echter wel een iets hogere standaard: pannen (m’n koekenpannen) waren klein en wat oud, klein koffiezetapparaat, weinig handdoeken (één kleine theedoek). Kledingkasten waren niet schoon bij aankomst. Handdoeken werden halverwege gewisseld, maar één was rafelig en versleten. In tegenstelling tot wat vermeld wordt in beschrijving is geen smart-tv aanwezig, dus streamen kan er niet, eigen muziek spelen via streamen evenmin. Dus overall een positieve ervaring, met kleine kanttekening.

Belle maison au calme et bien placée

Nous sommes arrivés tardivement, de façon autonome, tout était prêt. La maison est belle, spacieuse, bien décorée. Rien ne manquait, la maison est très bien équipée. Elle se trouve au calme, dans la nature, pas de circulation autour de la maison. Il faut un véhicule, par contre. La maison se trouve à 20mn du centre de Faro, en quelques minutes, on est sur l'autoroute, pour découvrir l'Algarve. Nous avons beaucoup aimé et recommandons cette maison.

Excellent again

This is the second time we have stayed at the villa, which I think says a lot. It really is excellent. The property is excellent quality, with a recently updated kitchen. The location is about 20 mins from Olhao, which has a shopping centre, plus Lidl, Aldi etc. Bars, restaurants, boat tours. About 25 mins from Tavira, which is a beautiful old town. There is a local shop where you can get all the necessities in Moncarapacho (7 mins drive via the gravel road, which is a bit bumpy) The property is spacious, clean, good quality and has a nice pool and gardens. The booking process and communication are excellent and timely via the owner Dominic, the property rep/manager Teresa visited 3 times during the visit to check the pool and provided some information we had requested. All in all, another fantastic trip, we would highly recommend!
