Absolutely perfect Villa. It had everything we needed. The villa was in a very peaceful area but close enough to restaurants and bars when we wanted to go. You do need a car but it was easy to navigate your way around. We would love to return, it was just brilliant!

Nice house and beautiful area

We had a good week here and loved the surrounding countryside and only a short drive to small towns and beaches. The house has a wonderful viewing over valley towards the sea from the different terraces. The rooms in the house are well placed. The only issue for us was the pool. It was not clean when we arrived. It was fixed monday/tuesday. Further some of the glasstiles in the pool floor was missing. It resulted in a badly hurded knee for one of my kids.

Amazing Algarve Retreat

The villa was absolutely beautiful. A little ways away from everything was exactly what we were looking for, so yes a car is needed. Still close enough to run to market or beach within a few minutes. The stairs are interesting but manageable if you watch what you are doing. Spent most of our days in the pool. Marianna and Antonio were very helpful when needed. Never saw the pool guy, but yes he did show up at least once, that we noticed. Made was very nice but did not speak english.

Paula's review

The house and especially the pool area were beautiful and included everything we could wish for. We happened to arrive during cooler days of spring so the first couple of days it was a bit chilly inside - but only until we realised there were heating airconditioners in almost every room. The heated pool was really nice even when the weather wasn't perfect, and our 2- and 4-year-olds would have stayed in the water for hours. We found the house well suited for a family, although the staircase was very steep - there was, however a secure gate upstairs so felt safe with that and the kids quickly learned to walk the stair safely. There was a housekeeper that came almost every day for a quick clean up, which we really appreciated. You do need a car as there are no services nearby, but from the house it's easy to get around the coastline and see many beautiful and interesting places that are a short drive away. Overall, I highly recommend and hope to be back!

A Little Paradise

An amazing property that checks all the boxes for a relaxing, picturesque and quaint vacation experience. Katharine was very helpful, the Elite Rentals Team was responsive and the property maintenance and maid service were friendly and efficient. The information book was a very useful resource in helping us navigate restaurants and things to do. Beds were comfortable, furnishings were perfect and the pool was well maintained. We will use this property again and fully recommend it!

Ruhig und schön.

Wir haben zwei Wochen in diesem wunderbaren Haus verbracht und uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist geräumig und mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet. Der Pool war erfrischend und ansprechend angelegt. Die Eigentümer haben wir nicht kennen gelernt, aber mehrmals pro Woche kam jemand zum Saubermachen und Waschen, so dass wir immer genügend frische Handtücher hatten. Das Haus ist mit dem Auto sehr gut erreichbar, bis zu den Ständen von Marinha, Albandeira und Benagil sind es jeweils nur ca. 10 Autominuten. Besonders genossen haben wir die ruhige Lage - trotz Hochsaison war es angenehm still. Eine Flasche Wasser im Kühlschrank für den ersten Durst nach der Ankunft wäre schön gewesen, sollte man also mitbringen. Alles in allem war es ein toller Aufenthalt - wir kommen gerne wieder.

The sweet spot: very nice home, right in the middle of the Algarve

We have enormously enjoyed our stay in the Algarve. The house definitely added to that feeling. The house has anything for a family with adolescents (17&20y): great pool, a terrace for every moment in a day, plenty bathrooms, plenty space, good black-out curtains, plenty instagram-worthy spots 😉, all in the green and so much more… we’ve enjoyed staying there very much. The location of the house is a great asset too if you want to discover the Algarve without sitting in the car for hours to reach your destiny for the day, whether it’s Sagres in the West or Tavira in the East. And the many, many beautiful places in between. So, if you want to enjoy the beauty, the peace and the quietness of the Algarve to retreat, but like to have beaches, vivid towns with plenty of good value restaurants behind the corner… Keith & Christine’s house is just perfect for you. If you’re really fishing for a down point….the thing a missed during our stay was a good coffeemaker. But that didn’t stop my excellent experience. Thank you, Kristine from Elite, for the good service. And thanks again Keith & Christine for letting us stay at your marvellous house.

Beautiful villa in a quiet area

This is a beautiful villa in a secluded location. There are no shops or restaurants in walking distance so you need a car that will enable you to explore this beautiful area. The nearest beach is approx 2k away down tracks. Supermarket (big Intermarche in Porches) is about an 8 min drive. Elite rentals were very helpful before and during our stay. A cleaning lady, gardener and pool man also came but were not intrusive. The villa is very spacious and well equipped. Showers were very good, beds comfortable! It is worth noting that there are a lot of quite steep stairs, so this villa would not be suitable for very young children or anyone with mobility problems. The pool was great, the shallow end is 0.9m and then steps lead down to the deep end which is very deep - 2m. We paid extra to get it heated. We had a great time and can't wait to return!

Nothing short of perfect

This is our 5th time in the Algarve. Normally we stay in Vilamoura. We fancied a change and we are so glad we did. The Villa is perfect. Better than the photos suggested. The pool area is superb. Trying to get the kids to leave the pool was the hardest part of the holiday :) Inside the Villa is immaculately clean. Everything we needed was available. The Kitchen is very well equipped. Location is very secluded and private. Only a short drive from a handful of superb beaches. I would definitely recommend a car for this stay. Porches is only a 5-8 min drive and has a Lidl and Intermache. The other direction is Lagos and Portimao with some larger supermarkets. We would definitely recommend Benagil, Praia da Marinha and Praia do Carvoeiro for fantastic beaches. The cleaner visited twice a week and was very efficient. The Pool man had been and gone by the time we had finished breakfast and the gardener was also very discreet and worked early in the morning. Elite rentals have been a breeze to book with. Communication has been better than any other agent we have dealt with. During out stay we had a power outage, I contacted Elite Rentals and they reacted immediately. The power outage was out of their hands as it was a local outage but the pool man arrived within 15 minutes to reset the pool filtration and heating. The booking process with Kate was very clear and efficient. We are already waiting for next years dates to be released.

Excelente

Una casa estupenda, ideal para unas vacaciones tranquilas. Se encuentra cerca de las playas, aproximadamente a unos 15-20 minutos, a las que se puede ir andando por varias sendas. La casa es amplia, y se encuentra bien equipada (el aire acondicionado nos funcionó muy bien, en tres días que hizo mucho calor). Igualmente la casa se encontraba limpia, y a mitad de la estancia vinieron para hacer una limpieza de superficies y cambio de sabanas y toallas. La piscina está muy bien, la hemos disfrutado mucho, e igualmente han venido regularmente a limpiarla. En definitiva, una estancia estupenda, y es una casa muy recomendable.

Nicht empfehlen

Im Allgemeinen fanden wir alles in Portugal wunderschön und wunderbar, außer teilweise die Villa. Wir haben da eine schöne Zeit verbracht, aber leider ist die Lage nicht die beste und es ist schwierig, dahin zu kommen und die Beschreibung der Adresse ist nutzlos... Der Pool wurde während des neuntägigen Aufenthalts überhaupt nicht gereinigt und der Boden des Pools ist aufgrund der Schwere des Schmutzes grün geworden. Außerdem gab es keine Ersatz-Mülltüten und die Putzfrau kam einmal und brachte den Müll nicht an den dafür vorgesehenen Ort, an dem wir dies getan haben, und es gab keine alternative Tasche, die in den Müllkorb in der Küche gestellt werden konnte. Wir hatten auch Probleme beim Betrieb des Fernsehrs und der Satellitenkanäle. Die Türgriffe waren nicht fest befestigt, da sie mehrmals herausfielen. Wir haben angerufen, um diese Probleme zu lösen. Jedes Mal, sagten sie, dass morgen der spezialisierte Techniker kommen wird, um diese Probleme zu lösen, kam bis zum Abreisetag niemand und wir haben den Fernseher und den Satelliten überhaupt nicht benutzt ... Der Preis ist sehr teuer, nicht vergleichbar mit dem schlechten Service. Und nicht auf uns zu antworten, um es zu lösen.

Sehr schönes Haus

Wir haben uns im Casa Engeho sehr wohlgefühlt. Das Haus ist für 6 Personen gut ausgestattet. Gefehlt hat uns lediglich eine Thermoskanne, um morgens den Kaffee warmzuhalten. 4-5 x pro Woche kommt eine Maid und sorgt für eine Reinigung und frische Handtücher. Das Haus ist sehr schön gelegen mit wenig direkten Nachbarn. Wir kommen gerne noch einmal hier vorbei.

Beautiful villa in great location

The villa is stunning, impeccably maintained, centrally located. The interior is beautifully decorated and very spacious. The area is very quiet but within a few minutes drive to a great beach and a great supermarket (Apolonia). Kate was very helpful and the staff made sure several times that we had everything that we needed. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, the pool is clean and warm. Really a dream house.

Wunderbare Villa mit großartiger Ausstattung

Wir waren zu viert Ende August bis Mitte September 2018 in der Villa. Diese ist sehr gut ausgestattet und liegt in einer sehr ruhigen Gegend. Trotzdem sind Geschäfte des täglichen Bedarfs, Restaurants und auch die berühmten Strände Marinha und Benagil schnell erreichbar. Die geschmackvoll eingerichtete Villa ist sehr sauber. Die sehr freundlichem Putzfrau kommt mehrmals in der Woche. Die Küche ist unglaublich gut ausgestattet - somit haben wir auch häufiger abends gekocht. Am Pool kann man wunderbar relaxen. Er ist aufgeteilt in einen tieferen und einen "Bar" -Bereich. Im Wasser befinden sich sogar Barhocker und es gibt Poolgläser aus Plastik. Handtücher, Duschgel/Shampoo sind ausreichend vorhanden, so dass man nicht alles mitbringen muss. Wir haben uns sehr über die Spielesammlung gefreut (U.a. Backgammon). An den Wochenenden lässt die Putzfrau den Waschraum offen, so dass man auch die Möglichkeit hat seine Wäsche zu waschen. Die Kommunikation verlief reibungslos, wenn auch nicht so herzlich wie man es bspw. von Airbnb gewohnt ist. Vor Ort finder man noch Informationen der Besitzer zu Restaurants/Bars/Stränden/Wanderwegen etc. Alles in allem können wir jedem die Villa wärmstens ans Herz legen und buchen gern wieder in den kommenden Jahren!!! Ausstattung: ***** Lage: ***** Kommunikation: ****
