Second visit, not dissapointed, will book again

This was our second stay at the villa. We love it because it ticks many boxes for us and our friends. . The garden is completely secure, with two young children to keep an eye on it gives us a great deal of peace of mind. The pool is lovely and worth the cost of paying for heating as we were in and out of it all day, and lovely for the children to keep warm. Large garden, great facilities, close to a fantastic supermarket and an easy drive to the coast. The owners are easily contactable and very obliging.

Peaceful and relaxing

The Villa is very private with a good size garden/lawn area. Lovely pool and lots of outdoor space. The villa is well equipped in the kitchen, and an outside BarBQ. All in all, clean and well presented!

Perfect choice for holidaying with friends and children

The pool and gardens were private and secure. We ate in the outside dining area the whole week and bbq'd every evening. Eat access to shops and beaches yet far enough away from the resorts and nightlife to enjoy ourselves in a quiet neighbourhood.

Very well equipped

The villa is on a large plot that is not overlooked and the kitchen is very well equipped. The bed in the master bedroom took a little bit of getting used to but it was worth it very comfortable.

Sadly not as advertised. Poor communication and issue resolution.

We had high hopes for this beautiful looking villa from the photographs. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. I should have had an inkling after I had to contact the owners for check in details, as this set the trend for poor communication with owners. They were no help over lack of air conditioning in one of the bedrooms, their management company failed to even deliver a fan to help. They took a minimum of 3 days to reply to each request for help and they certainly made no offer of a financial resolution to compensate us for not being able to use one of the bedrooms, which meant all 3 of our kids had to share the smaller bedroom or with us (just what you want on holiday). There is very little storage for guests, most of wardrobes are locked. No essential items for guests such as dishwasher tablets, salt and pepper, oil, cloths to clean with! We stayed in an apartment the week after this stay, also in Portugal and received all of the above, as well as a cool bag and shopping bags, little touches that make holidaying with a family abroad so much easier. We had high hopes for this villa due to previous reviews and we are not hard to please. We were kind and accommodating while we waited for the owners to resolve the air con issue, they did not do this and were sarcastic and unhelpful when we suggested compensation. We are now looking to resolve this dispute through VRBO. I would not recommend this property due to the poor communication of the hosts, expecting their guests to deal with contractors while on their holidays, the complete inaction of their management company and failure to offer any apology, verbal or financial.

Fabulous pool and spacious villa

The vllla was clean and tidy on arrival and the pool was amazing but the beds were hard which made sleeping difficult as the air conditioning had seen better days and that also kept us awake at night. The stone garden furniture was cracked in a few places and not fixed to each other which made that rather dangerous and the orange covers on the other chairs had seen better days but the worst thing about the villa is the washing machine has no top to it which is really dangerous if you have children with you. The gardeners and cleaners were friendly and location was so peaceful. This villa needs some money spent on it to get it up to a good standard then it will perfect 👍

Fantástica Propriedade

Esta propriedade tem tudo o que pode desejar para umas férias bem passadas Situada num lugar tranquilo, dispõe de uma área exterior ampla e bem tratada com uma piscina de boas dimensões. Bem equipada (apesar de alguns equipamentos necessitarem de ser substituídos) encontrava-se perfeitamente higienizada. De salientar a simpatia e a pronta resposta do anfitrião. P.S .- Para clientes que gostem de café expresso e curto faltam chávenas adequadas.

Can't fault this accommodation. Quietly situated, clean, well equipped with TV, DVD, CD and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Handy for the N125 for getting around. Taxis into Albufeira very friendly and not too expensive. Would recommend

1eres vacances familiales en Algarve

EXcellent séjour passé en famille dans cette magnifique propriété, tout confort et très calme. Très bonne communication avec la propriétaire. Seul bémol, les lampes du jardin qui ne fonctionnent pas.... il doit y avoir un problème avec le minuteur. Signalé à la propriétaire et au jardinier donc le problème devrait être résolu pour les futurs occupants. Je recommande vivement cette location!!!!

Wonderful Large Villa

5 of us stayed a week in this lovely, quiet villa. More than ample room inside and out. Fully equipped kitchen, housing all modern appliances you would need which was great to see. Great idea having 2 fridges! One of which we stored cold drinks in. 3 spacious bedrooms- one with on-suite. living room and dining area all with aircon. Kids had lots of fun in the large outdoor pool which can be heated but to be honest there’s no need in the height of summer. Lots of loungers, parasols and the owners also supply pool towels. There’s a large flower garden and grass area all of which is secluded from its neighbours. Other little touches included dvds, board games and books; alas didn’t get to use as having too much fun in the pool! There was also a welcome food pack which was greatly appreciated. The pool man and maid came and did a quick clean and changed the towels during the week. The villa is about 10-minute walk to the nearest restaurants. Great peri peri chicken! And less than 10 minutes’ drive to Algarve shopping which has a large supermarket and shopping complex. We really enjoyed our stay at this gem of a villa and would definitely go back if we get the chance.

Beautiful

A beautiful well maintained villa in a secluded area of Guia, we had a relaxing chilled out holiday in the villa within walking distance of the traditional village of Guia where we had the best piri piri chicken ever. The gardens and pool were immaculate and great for the kids to play safely in, if you need hussle and bustle this is not the location for you, but to unwind, de-stress and live a leisurely pace for a week this is the ideal location for you.

About the host

Your host

I live in Ireland with my wife and three children, we holiday in Casa do Moinho as often as we can, normally about three times a year, we love the area where the villa is, as its so close to the restaurants but very private.

Why they chose this property

The minute we saw the villa, with the large garden and two large palm trees we knew it was the house for us, we refurbished it a few years ago and it really now is a home away from home.
We love the area because the people are so friendly, Guia is lovely to have a walk about with the cobbled streets, and cafes/restaurants. Its quiet and relaxed all year round.

What makes this property unique

The children love the place because they have freedom to play, and if we come in the winter we can put on the pool heating and they spend all day in the pool.
We love it because it is secluded and tranquil we can sit out and sunbath or read a book without being over looked or interrupted.
