About this property

Villa In Mesquita, Private Pool/sommer and winter suitable, air conditioning

This beautiful villa with living space of over 200 m² and
2.000 m² garden, completely fenced, was built in 1992 and 2015 to high modern standards. It is located on a south-facing hillside in a peaceful and private location overlooking the beautiful countryside. It is a safe area, and, in the same time, quite private. It is the last house at the end of a small road, no cars around. The next neighbours are 200-300 meters away, all around ecological area with olive, almond and carob trees.The area is great for short or longer trips. Because of its elevated position the ocean can be seen from the villa. The closest beach at Fuzeta is only about 20 minutes away by car. The villa has all modern comfort and is very well equiped with all needed devices (air conditioning, Hi Fi, dish washer, washing mashine, oven, microwave, etc.). For winter time a modern heating system for all the house is available. It uses solar enery (hot water), wood and/or electricity. By using the chimney in the living area (wood), also hot water for heating and washing is produced. The photovoltaic system produce electricity, but, of course, we are connected to the normal electricity supplier. The living area is very large, including the american kitchen, dinning place, sitting group, studio in 1.st floor, partly very high room, which is very pleasant especially im summer. There are 3 bedrooms - 2 in the ground floor, 1 in the first floor. The windows are equiped with profesional musquitos nets, which, of course, keep also the flies out. All the bedrooms have beds with high quality mattresses, which can be turned around - so that you can have rather hard or memeory effect i.e.rather softer. The bathroom is quite large and has a bathtube, shower place, WC, bidet, washbasin. The second bathroom has a washbasin, WC and bidet. Another shower place with hot and cold water is near the pool. A nice barbeque on the ground floor terrace, tables for minimum 6 persons in and outside, a large well maintained garden and, of course, the pool very suitable also for small children, since it has stairs and is heaten with solar energy even in summer to reach 28-29 °C. In winter the solar energy is normally used to support the heating system in house, and not for the pool. Once a week clean service is included in price (also bed lines and towels change).
For longer stays (not in high season!) we can talk about discounts.

A very relaxing stay
Our stay at Michelle and Eberhard house was just what we needed, relaxing and just far enough away from hustle and bustle. We arrived late due to flight delay, but communication with Michelle was great and we were met by Galyna who waited patiently for us. She was very nice and showed us around the spotless house and pool area, then left us to it to relax. She also messaged in advance if the pool was to be cleaned or the gardener was due, so no surprise guest. I would advise a car for fetching essentials from the well stocked supermarkets in Sao Bras and short trips to Louie or Travira. There is a very nice Tapas and wine restaurant about 15-20 minutes walk, the food and wine are both very good and the people polite. We would recommend the house to anyone who likes there own space and hope to return in the future.

Wunderschöne Zeit in dieser fantastischen Villa mit Pool
Wir haben die vier Wochen sehr genossen! Die Alleinlage mit weitem Rundblick, der beheizte Pool, der gepflegte Garten und die gute Ausstattung der gut gepflegten grosszügigen Ferienvilla haben uns ganz prima gefallen. Die Fahrt zur Ria Formosa und an den Strand dauert nur 20 Minuten. Meinen Mann störten die bellenden Hunde abends und morgens, mir machte es nichts aus. Wir empfehlen das Ferienhaus uneingeschränkt!!

Excellent property in the country with superb pool
The house itself is very clean and comfortable with lots of space both inside and outside on the patios. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need. The nearest neighbours are about 150 metres away and the large garden means that calm is guaranteed. The pool is excellent and thanks to the solar heating system the water temperature was perfect. We thoroughly recommend this property.

Wonderful casa for a girls trip
The property is absolutely stunning…. Beautiful countryside back drop. My friends and I had an amazing stay. Villa is very spacious and well appointed. Beds comfortable. Pool is gorgeous although the weather was a bit chilly for us to use it. Loved spacious patio and balacony. The kitchen has everything you could possibly want to prepare meals from basic to 5 course. Lovely gardens… no complaints from me. I would love to stay again in the future! Highly recommend. One footnote I would add, the driveway is tricky and narrow just be aware. Location is somewhat tough to find just make sure you research it.

Villa in der Natur
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. In jedem Zimmer ist eine Klimaanlage, die bei Temperaturen bis 42‘C auch gebracht wurden. Die Villa liegt auf einem Berg und man blickt ins Tal, in der Ferne kann man das Meer sehen. Sehr schön! Der Pool ist definitiv extraklasse, gleiches gilt für den gepflegten Garten! Leider war die Nachtruhe häufig durch bellende und heulende Hunde gestört. Dafür kann die Vermieterin natürlich nichts:-) Wir kommen gerne wieder! Sehr zu empfehlen!

Tolles Haus in Alleinlage mit beheiztem Pool. Wir haben hier 5 Wochen unserer Elternzeit mit unserem 9 Monate alten Baby verbracht und die Zeit sehr genossen.

Traumurlaub in Traumumgebung
Wir haben zu fünft einen wunderbaren Urlaub in der Casa da Saudade verbracht. Das Haus, das Grundstück und das Drumherum waren noch viel schöner, als wir erwartet hätten und wir haben schon viele Ferienhausurlaube weltweit verbracht. Man merkt, dass das Haus mit Liebe gestaltet wurde. Galyna hat eine prima Übergabe gemacht und das Haus sehr, sehr sauber geputzt. Für unseren Sohn war der angenehm warme Pool das Highlight in den 2 Wochen. Der Kontakt vor Abreise lief reibungslos und sehr freundlich. Wir würden immer wieder dort Urlaub machen. Vielen lieben Dank an die Vermieter!

Wonderful property for a relaxing family stay
My husband and I had a fantastic break at this beautiful villa with our baby, toddler and golden retriever. The villa is extremely comfortable - a real home from home - and is surrounded by lovely gardens and pool with views of rural Algarve from every window. This is a fantastic part of Portugal to enjoy a relaxed family holiday - unpretentious people, clean beaches, fantastic food: what more could you possibly ask for?! We have recommended to all our friends and hope to return ourselves at some point in the future. Many thanks Michelle for a super holiday!

Great trip. We enjoyed our stay.
We spend 3 months in Casa da Saudade. We were very pleased with our choice. The house is in excellent location, very private with nice garden.Close drive to everything.The house was well managed by helpful and pleasant people. We loved the open concept of the living space, it is practical and elegant. The ceramic tiled kitchen counter was our favorite .Such a good idea to make kitchen attractive and yet useful. The dining room area had plenty of china and glass ware.The sitting area was comfortable and the sound system was excellent. We enjoyed the big terrace on the upper level It has splendid views The sunsets were often spectacular. We have already decided to return the next winter. Such a find, great house!!! Thanks to Michelle for constant interest in our well being. Daniela and Ilja from Ontario, Canada

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Kohler

Host profile image
We are a German family, 72 and 66 years old, our daughter is 29. We are both physicists, our daughter is a physician. We like nature, good food, have hopefully some sense for humor and do smile and laugh. Our daughter loves horses and rides them (quite successfully!). We also love all kind of animals; in the moment 1 cat and a dog belong to our family. In the photo you can see me (Michelle) and our daughter in Tavira.

Why they chose this property

During a holiday 1990 we just fell in love with the landscape in the east of Algarve and bought a piece of land. The house was built 1992; a lot of improvments followed. The teracce upstairs was renewed and got a roof 2015. Since 1992, we still enjoy to be in Portugal. We did invest a lot in the house in order to keep it in a good condition and to improve the comfort. The pool was completely renewed inside 4 years ago. Last year we installed new solar panels for hot water and electricity. Even in the colder months the house can be heated with the hot water from the sun. 3 years ago we did replace the open fireplace with a modern, high efficient closed "thermojolly", which provides also hot water for the heating system. In this way the house can be heated completely with wood, if there are rainy days. Heating pumps for cooling or heating are also installed. A few months ago we could buy some more ground in the south part and now the garden is ca. 32.000 square feet (2-3000 m²) large and completely fenced.

What makes this property unique

Since we love nature, we enjoy the area here. From our house we have a gorgeous view up to the ocean. Since a small road ends at our house, no cars are driving nearby. Here you can still find the genuine portuguese landscape, and have wonderful trips starting just from our house.
If you look for a place full of tourists, do not book our house! If you look for a quite place, but nevertheless not far away from all facilities, you have the right choice with our villa. Last but not least, the area here is still very safe.
