August 24
We had a lovely stay for 2 weeks in August 2024. The villa was perfect for 2 families, plenty of space for everyone individually but also to all be together. The pool was a good size for the group (5 adults and 5 kids) and all the things we needed, plus extras, were there for us to use. Location was great, 5 mins to lovely beach and a few beach bars, 5 mins the other way a shop and cafe with all essentials but also lovely food and fresh pastries at a great price! Men enjoyed local golf and we visited Monte Gordo frequently in evenings, Ubers are easy and cheap. We also visited Tavira a couple of times which was a bit further but a beautiful town. All comms with Andrew were quick and efficient and we used his recommendation of Edite for airport and golf transfers who was also lovely and very helpful! All in all we had a fantastic holiday!

Retur, family holiday 25 April - 3 May 2024
We had a family vacation with 6 adults and 4 children (age 9 to 13 years). Arriving at the villa we found that it was fully in line with the description. Spacious rooms and bathrooms, a nice playroom which the children loved. We requested the pool to be heated and this added extra to the fun. The kitchen had lots of equipment. There was a nearby shop shop/bakery and the beach was indeed some 300 meters. Contacts with the owner were easy and requests were replied quickly. We enjoyed our stay and regretted we had to leave. This villa is certainly worth a visit for a vacation.

Wonderful stay in the Algarve and at the Casa Eloise
We had a very wonderful holiday in the Algarve region and our stay at the Casa Eloise was excellent. The property has everything we were looking for. Lots of room, indoor and outdoor entertaining and dining. A great pool and patio. Great location located near beaches, restaurants and beach villages and towns such as Monte Gordo. Andrew and Else were great hosts and Gardenia took care of our needs at the Casa. We also contracted Edite to provide tours and transportation and she was wonderful in our several adventures. Roger, Susie and friends.

Great villa!
The house is lovely, the listing is spot on and the pool just gorgeous. The house was brilliant value for money in my opinion, the kitchen was very well equipped with everything we could need etc. The living room area had space for our whole group to socialise together which was awesome. The host communicated quickly and clearly any time we had questions (both during and before the visit) and was generally very helpful and accomodating. The only criticisms my group had was that there were no soaps in the bathroom on arrival, no bin bags and only one toilet roll per bathroom; there were a few creepy crawly friends around inside inc cockroaches in the downstairs bathroom; and a few things were showing wear and tear a little e.g. a slightly rattly air conditioning unit and the air hockey table didn't really have air. The area the house was in was perfect for our group, we could walk to the beach in ~10 minutes, we could walk to the closest town in ~30 and then hired bikes which then took us further when wanted. Overall one of the best holidays I've been on and absolutely a villa I would go back to if the opportunity arises!

Praia do Cabeço
A estadia na casa foi muito agradável, com espaço para toda a família. Somos um grupo grande de 4 casais (9 adultos) e todos tinham o seu espaço com banho privativo. As áreas comuns também são grandes e os espaços exteriores muito agradáveis. O tempo não esteve sempre bom para a praia, mas a piscina aquecida e os puzzles compensaram.

Fantastic week at Casa Elouise
We have just returned from our holiday at Casa Elouise and it was pretty much perfect. Our family of 8 adults and 4 children found the property had everything we needed and particulary enjoyed the pool. We had it heated which meant the children could spend hours splashing around. The very near beach was gorgeous. We walked to Monte Gordo a few times where there were restaurants and shops. Especially enjoyed the ice creams there. We even spotted a chameleon on the way to the beach one day!

Great second visit.
Glad to have returned to stay at this lovely villa. Enjoyed our time there, it’s lovely and spacious and the air con was much welcomed in the blazing heat. So many nice places to eat and drink and although it’s quite a walk to town it’s a nice one through the wooded area which provides a nice bit of shade.

Outstanding family holiday
We had a wonderful stay! The house was perfect for 4 families (8 adults, 3 children, 3,6,6 years old). We had plenty of space and we each had a lovely bedroom and bathroom. The grill area was great and it was well worth the extra cost to heat the pool. We swam every day during our stay in April. We did need to keep a very careful eye on the children as the pool is deep at one end and easily accessed by speedy children. The gorgeous sandy beach is an easy 5 minute walk away, as is a local shop. We rented one small car between us all, and contacted Edite from greenrounds for help with minibus transfer from Faro. Edite also organized a wonderful day trip for us all taking in wine tasting, a beach visit and a bit of history - i can’t recommend her highly enough! We were very happy that the host was always very quick and helpful with replies. We were particularly impressed that on one day (Easter Monday evening) we had to call because the gas ran out……. We received a visit within 5 minutes and the gas was refilled almost immediately. Outstanding! Thanks a lot.

Fantastic family get-away
Lovely house in a quite neighborhood with enough space to accommodate 12 adults. A few minutes walk to the sandy beach. Monte Gordo was close enough to walk or cycled to with a good variety of shops and restaurants. The little shop about 200m up the road is a must visit. All necessities can be bought here. Their bakery needs special mentioning! Our family had a fantastic time.

Lovely family trip
The house is great, well equipped for big groups and cooking for a crowd. It's also a very easy walk to a beautiful beach and a few bars, but a car is useful to travelling around. We really enjoyed the pool area and the excellent BBQ too. Some noisy neighbours a few nights but overall a fantastic trip. The owners were really responsive too.

Fantastic Holiday
The property was excellent for what we required. We were a group of 13 and there was plenty of room for us all in what is a very large villa. There were plenty of glasses/plates/cutlery/chairs and everything worked and was in good order. The pool area and sun beds is a little small for 13 people but it was not difficult to work around this. And huge thanks and credit to Andrew for being the perfect host. I had several queries and conversations with him prior to the holiday and he was incredibly helpful and informative. For all 13 of us it was a perfect holiday.

Villa great but let down by lack of attention to detail!
We had a very good family holiday at the Villa. Location in particular, was brilliant! Monte Gordo beach is beautiful, both adults and children loved it. We did find the check in time unusually late, especially when travelling with young children. Owners could do with checking the property to make sure everything safe and in working order. We had a few problems here. Nevertheless, owners helpful and quick to respond.

Property was great. A little away from any city, so having a car is advised, but it has its own pool and BBQ area. We had a bunch of different friends stay over a month period without any issues. Internet was fast and reliable (I was working remotely there). Communication with Andrew and Elsa was good, and Yana changed the linen and organised a change of the gas when required.

We had the luxury of staying in Monte Gordo in the summer with minimal other tourists due to the pandemic.
