Wonderful Villa with everything you could possibly want.
Fantastically fitted out modern villa with infinity pool and fantastic views over rolling hills towards coast line in very secluded location, just perfect peace and quiet. This hidden gem is a little tricky to access though the track leading upto it is very narrow and rough going well worth it though spot on thankyou 👌

Beautiful Villa with stunning views.
The property was immaculate upon arrival. Sarah provided very accurate and clear details in advance of our arrival, which made checking in, very straight forward. We really enjoyed our peaceful stay at Santa Maria e Santiago and would highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks again to Sarah and Andy.

A lovely relaxing stay
We had a great stay at the villa - the rural location means it is very peaceful and that was exactly what we were looking for! But also only 15 mins drive to Tavira which was so beautiful! Sarah was incredibly responsive and helpful when we had a few queries. Would thoroughly recommend this place - but if there are more than four of you, I would advise two cars rather than an SVU as the track is narrow in places. 😎😘

Very nice holiday home in perfect location
Beautifull holiday home on perfect location. We loved the pool and the view. One drawback is that the house gets very hot in the summer and the airco’s cant keep up with the heat. The outside furniture should be better for a villa like this. But we absolutely loved our stay here!

Excellent villa; so well equipped.
Beautiful modern villa in such a peaceful remote location. The driveway is nerve wracking especially arriving in the dark for the first time - we got used to it quite quickly though. Superbly equipped (one of the best we’ve stayed in for that) light airy and super spacious. Excellent to all have own bathroom. Owners very responsive and helpful. Pool is great, lovely views. If there was one thing that could have made it even better for us it would be a more comfortable/better quality bed.. we slept in the downstairs bedroom with a very firm metal frame and one of those mattresses where if one person moves the other is bounced about. With so much space in the bedrooms..bigger, better quality beds would take this to 5 star property easily. We had a lovely holiday thank you …. Overall would most definitely recommend this villa.

Great, modern villa to relax and enjoy Portugal
We've spend 12 nights at the villa together with our three kids. The villa is very modern, well equipped, clean beautifully located and surrounded by orange trees. We can recommend the villa for family vacations, there is sufficient space for 6 people, three bathrooms, balconies and a nice (non-heated) pool. Airconditioning is available. Only one word of caution which addresses the drive up to the house. Since the way is not paved and narrow, and especially the upper part close to the house can provide a challenge for normal cars. Hence I recommend to rent a smaller (not too wide) 4x4 SUV with sufficient ground clearance to avoid damaging the car from below. Overall a very good experience. We'll come again.

Little hidden gem in Tavira
First of all great contact with both the owners even though they were on holiday thankyou.. We wanted to see if we could find a holiday for our family 4 adults n 1 child and believe me going through travel sites all way too much so decided to go through vrbo and really glad we did, this villa maybe on the outskirts of Tavira in a little place called Fojo its well worth the drive (all be it a little nervy at night) you would need to hire a car or a suv to get to this location but definitely worth it.. Pool which i could never get my daughter out of 3 spacious bedrooms all ensuite all very clean, very clean throughout and what makes it better is all the main rooms have AC what a godsend... we did have one tiny issues ants buts we soon learned that if you open food make sure its either in the fridge or in a zip locked bag the little buggers Will defo be looking to come back here again

Geweldig verblijf
Alles wat nodig was voor ons verblijf was ook aanwezig in dit luxe vakantiehuis met veel privacy. De weg er naar toe is wel een beetje een uitdaging. Heerlijk zwembad, mooi uitzicht vanaf het huis tot aan de Atlantisch Oceaan bij Tavira. Eigenaar zeer rap met het beantwoorden van vragen.

Great property
We had a great week at this villa. Everything we needed was there. Pool was as it gorgeous as it looks in the photos. Internal layout worked well, kitchen is especially beautiful & the kids loved having access to UK WIFI & TV. Hosts were very responsive to a couple of small issues & everything was sorted quickly without any hassle which was ideal. Would definitely recommend.

Très belle villa, dommage que la personne qui nous a acceuilli n'est pas pris le temps de nous expliquer tout le fonctionnement de la maison, elle est rester à peine 5 mn. le lave vaisselle ne fonctionnait pas, les parasols étaient cassés nous avons du les réparer, la piscine à verdi au bout d'une semaine, et quand on a réclamé ont nous a répondu que l'on avait pas payé pour le nettoyage de celle-ci. Le cadre est magnifique et calme. Par contre le chemein pour y accéder c'est galère!!!

Stunning view
The villa is in a quiet remote location with wonderful views all the way to the coast. We had a few issues when we arrived but these were addressed promptly by the manager and owners. The villa is a functional well-equipped holiday home, but the outside furnishing was somewhat disappointing. The internet works well most of the time although we did have several hours when it cut out. Overall it is lovely place and with some improvement would be a 5 star accommodation.

Mooi maar uitrusting buiten kan beter.
Mooie woning en mooie omgeving. Bereikbaarheid is op het eind van de weg zeer slecht. Hebben er 2 dagen in de morgen zonder water gezeten wat vervelend is als je met een klein kind zit en ge u 's morgens wil douchen. Zwakke uitrusting wat betreft keukengerei. Meubelen voor buiten bestaat uit een zitbank met tafel. Geen deftig buitenmeubilair om aan te zitten. Voor de rest zeer mooie woning .

Wunderbares Haus in ruhiger Gegend mit Meerblick
Wir verbrachten eine wundervolle Woche in der großzügigen Casa da Lua. Alles war einfach perfekt: die Kontakte mit den Eigentümern, die Übergabe durch nette Engländerin vor Ort, die moderne und sehr gute Ausstattung des Hauses (selbst Sonnenschirme für den Strand waren vorhanden), der geheizte Pool, die Aussicht und die Ruhe (ganz gelegentlich fliegt mal ein Flugzeug über das Haus).Wir waren nur zu viert, aber auch zu sechst hat man sehr viel Platz und die drei Balkone, sowie die Terrasse bieten bei Bedarf persönliche Plätze. In der Umgebung lässt sich einiges entdecken (Tavira, das Hinterland, Faro, Estoi.....). Zum Strand Ilha de Tavira sind es insgesamt mit der Fähre ca. 45 min. Nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Lidl, Aldi, Pingo Doce) sind ca. 10 -15 min entfernt. Ein eigenes Auto ist unbedingt erforderlich. Der einzig kleine Nachteil ist das letzte Stück der Anfahrt zum Haus: ca. 1,5 km geht es über Feldwege. Dafür empfiehlt es sich, ein nicht zu großes Auto zu leihen ( mit unserem Opel Corsa war es kein Problem). Alles in allem können wir das Haus nur empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder.

We had a fantastic week at this villa. It is in a peaceful location with stunning views from the infinity pool out to the coast. The grounds were very well kept and the villa was really well equipped and comfortable. It's a great base for exploring tavira and the algarve. We would certainly love to visit again!
