Oasis of well-being
Very quiet, beautiful and extremely tasteful furnished house with spacious, well-kept outdoor facilities and a pool, which fortunately was even anout 2 metres deep in places. We felt very comfortable with our teenage children.

Magnifique
Nous avons eu le plaisir de passer quinze jours de vacances dans la Villa Maya. Nous avions envisagé il y a deux ans de revenir, c'est ce que nous avons fait ! Nous avons passé de magnifiques vacances. La villa est conforme aux photos, voire mieux. Ce que les photos ne montrent pas, c'est le calme, juste interrompu par le chant des oiseaux et la brise dans les palmiers. En un mot, la villa est superbe havre de paix.

Perfect hideaway
A wonderful house, perfect garden and great infrastructure. We loved it! Thank you very much! Only one thing: depending on the car, the road access to the house is a bit tricky.

Lovely property great views landscaped gardens
We stayed at the property for a week in October with another couple. In terms of quality and location the property was perfect. A short drive from restaurants and supermarket The house had Beautiful spaces inside and out. Lovely views and good pool and outside facilities , we made use of both bbq and boule court. Highly recommended. Our only slightly negative comment is that basics such as dishwasher tablets /toilet rolls etc we’re not getting included and had to be purchased whilst have been left by previous guests. Contact with Tom was great and we really appreciated flexibility with checking in and out. Unfortunately we had a wet week so I would definitely revisit and hope for better weather to properly enjoy the house and all it has to offer..

Schön ruhig
Das Haus ist wunderbar ruhig gelegen was uns sehr wichtig war. Die Sicht ist sehr schön, sowohl zum Meer als auch zum Tal. Die Einrichtung der Küche war außergewöhnlich gut. Alles in allem ein sehr erholsamer Aufenthalt.

Villa Maya 27.1. - 8.2.2020
The house was very good for our purpose. It's neat and well equipped. Special thanks to Annabella for the good and friendly Service. Communication with Tom has also worked well. The road to the apartment was in poor condition (typical Portugal?). A positive experience. Mikko

Vill Maya
What an amazing Villa - even better than the pictures shows! We (family with two teenagers) have had a wonderful stay for two weeks in August. Everything is just perfect: the house is in optimal condition, well equiped (everything exists minimum twice) and very elegant. A magnificient pool and about 9 (!) groups of deckchairs and sittingchairs all over the spacious and well-tended estate. But the most breathtaking are the wonderful views: down to Faro and Ria Formosa or into the hills of Sao Bras. We enjoyed our stay every minute and hopefully will return

Get away from it all in the Algarve
Well appointed property particularly the kitchen which seemed to have two or three of everything. The outside areas had tables and chairs in various areas where you could follow the sun,or shade all day.However the star attraction of this villa has to be the views .To eventhe front of the property is a view down the valley to Faro,clear during the day but at night a most wonderful sight of Faro lit up.To the back of the property ,magnificent views of sunsets over the mountains and villages lit up. The gardens to the villa are extensive and very colourful however the only slightly negative note to the whole stay would be the unevenness of the drive,todlers would struggle to walk across

Peaceful, beautiful location & home
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Maya. We had some hiccups with the pool heating but it got sorted and then we were really able to fully enjoy the property. Tom was very responsive and helpful with local tips as well. We would happily stay here again.

Fantastisch huis !
Villa Maya is een heerlijk vakantiehuis. De villa is prachtig gelegen op een berg met uitzicht op Faro en in de verte de zee. Er is volledige privacy, een heerlijk zwembad en een grote tuin met jeu de boule baan een een zandbak, een buitenkeuken en zelfs een jaccouzi. Het huis zelf is van alle gemakken voorzien. Het is echt te merken dat het een huis van mensen zelf is en niet alleen ingericht als vakantie huis. De keuken is beter uitgerust met apparatuur dan we ooit hebben meegemaakt. Alles is er; in veelvoud. Aankomst en eventuele problemen worden prima geregeld door Anabel. Enige lastige is hooguit dat zij geen Engels spreekt ( wel Duits). Vanuit het huis ben je in 8 minuten in sao bras de aportel waar drie grote supermarkten zijn. Loule is ongeveer een kwartier rijden. Hier is een overdekte markthal en nog een gigantische Continente. Het strand is ongeveer 35 minuten rijden. Er zijn vele restaurants in de buurt maar de villa is zo heerlijk dat we vooral thuis gebarbecued hebben. Voor ons gezin ( met 3 pubers) was het een ideaal vakantiehuis op een ideale plek. We hebben zeker het voornemen nog een keer terug te komen.

Just go!! You'll feel like a star
An infinity pool with views down to the coast, lovely comfortable bedrooms and more lounging areas than you'll get to in a week. This is a gem. Great communication from Tom in the lead up and a friendly welcome from Annabel the housekeeper. My two teenage kids said 'wow' as they entered every room and first saw the pool; that's high praise indeed.
