Beautiful Restored Algarve Typical Farmhouse, With Private Pool And Sea Views

We had a really good time in the house. With three generations in the family, there were no dull moments and the property met most of the expected challenges.The weather was also on our side, so the pool was frequently in use.There were of course some beauty spots, but they mainly contributed to the authentic feel of the house.(the plumming was in some cases in need of improvement though)On the whole, the week will remain in fond memory of the whole family

Perfect villa for a family holiday. In a quiet area but not too far from Vilamoura. Fantastic authentic farmhouse with plenty of space and gorgeous entertainment areas especially the swimmong pool. Would highly recommend for a large family holoday. Jenny was a great host who was always available if you had any questions.

We had a wonderful week at Casa da Avo. The home has many places where people can gather to play or relax. The kitchen was nicely appointed with everything you need to prepare your meals. For our family of 8 adults and 4 kids under 8 the property was perfect. The kids could run and explore the large yard, play basketball, swing, swim and play soccer. Then for those rainy moments there is the games room. Shopping is close by and Jenny was very helpful with things to do in the area and arranged for a chef to come and prepare tasty Portuguese meal for us. Nothing but good things to say about our stay.

Large traditional Portuguese farmhouse, with amazing ocean views, wonderful large swimming pool, and close to beaches, shops, restaurants etc… And the host is super helpful, and responsive with lots of great local suggestions

The villa, the grounds, the location, the pool - especially the pool - were wonderful. A great place for families to enjoy and chill. We will likely return one year. Would recommend Aquashow water slides within 20 minutes drive. A truly nice place to stay and relax. You will need a car though.

The house was very well kept, with all the necessary tools and materials. The owner (Jenny) was extremely nice and helpful. 5/5 in all accounts

It’s a very nice place. Lots of room for the kids to run around. Just wish that all rooms had air con as at night it gets quite hot.

Host Jenny was very helpful especially when my daughter needed to go to the doctor. She gave us loads of advice about beaches and restaurants which was very useful. Amazing place and holiday which we will remember for a long time

Well what can I say, what a week! Jenny was amazing from start to finish. From booking airport transfers and excursions to suggesting restaurants and things to do. The villa is absolutely stunning with everything you could possibly want including a small football pitch, table football, ping pong and a huge pool. The supermarket is just up the road and we hired a car so that we could drive and take advantage of the amazing beaches and golf nearby. Cant reccomend this villa enough, we will definitely be back next year. THANKS JENNY! Glyn

We had a lovely stay at this beautifully restored farmhouse. There were 10 of us travelling from 3 generations, and the 6 bedrooms and 2 reception rooms gave us plenty of space. The accommodation has so much more character than a typical Algarve villa, and we absolutely loved it there. Outside, the garden and the pool are impeccably kept and there are views to the sea near Vale do Lobo. There was an extra cost for heating the pool but that was well worthwhile for us in early April. The house and garden are very secure with electric gates, a security system and a lovely old safe. The gardener/handyman, Franco, lives within the grounds but is very unobtrusive. Further afield, I was very happy to find that there are lots of countryside walks in the Sitio dos Quartos area and a spur of the Via Algaviana goes near to the house. Almancil and the market town of Loulé are close by, the A22 gives easy access to most of the rest of the Algarve, and Faro Airport and the new Mar Shopping Centre are just a short drive away. All of the above was very good, but the best bit was the owner, Jenny. There did not seem to be any limit to what she would do to help us enjoy our stay, from waiting until late when we arrived, to promptly fixing the WiFi, and to recommending wonderful local restaurants. She even helped me with my Portuguese! So again, thank you very much, Jenny, for letting us stay at your grandmother's house (Casa da Avó) and for helping to make our holiday so enjoyable.
