Algoz, Faro
House in Aldeia de Tunes - Algoz, Central Algarve, Portugal - a cottage in a peaceful village location, perfect for relaxation yet only 5 minutes drive to all amenities Golf Courses , Beaches , Supermarkets and local markets , nice restaurants
Casa Avo Elisa has been lovingly restored and renovated to a modern standard. It is situated in a sleepy village surrounded by orange groves and vineyards, yet a short distance from beaches, towns, supermarkets and several restaurants. Golf courses and sporting facilities are also nearby. The cottage is especially suitable for walkers and cyclists, or just to enjoy the tranquillity.
The house is amazing, and the owner, very helpful and accommodating. This is a glimpse of paradise, lively private patio, yard and plants with quiet private authentic decor! A short drive to any restaurant or miles of lively beaches! Obrigata Cristina for a wonderful visit and glimpse of Portugal!
wonderful fairy tale like home to stay in. really felt like home away from home. private. loved hearing the roosters,dogs and cats every day. neighbours wsre friendly. gardens were beautiful. everything we needed was there for us and christine was easily accessible. 5 to 10 minutes you could get groceries. 15 to 20 minutes lots of beaches nearby. christine left us with beautiful fruits etc as a welcome! just lovely.
This property was a dream. Cristina's thoughtful touches make an already charming home feel like you're staying in a boutique hotel. Getting to meet Cristina and enjoy the wonderful welcome spread of snacks and wine that she left for us was just icing on the cake! We stayed for a week, but could have easily stayed longer. The charcoal grill is wonderful and allowed us to enjoy the beautiful courtyard even more (such beautiful landscaping!), and the village is so quiet and relaxing. We went to the beach every day, exploring different ones in the area, and this home was a perfect base. It's only 20 minutes away from some of the prettiest beaches of the Algarve. The town of Algoz is charming and has a small Spar and some nice bakeries if you don't feel like trekking to a larger store (though Lidl and Aldi are only 15ish minutes away). One slight negative is that the wifi basically becomes unusable at night (maybe due to higher traffic/remoteness of the village?) so don't expect to stream movies before bed. But we honestly didn't care as it meant more time playing games in the courtyard. I would also recommend a small car as the village roads are excitingly tiny, but we loved buzzing around in our little Corsa. Anyway, don't hesitate to book this home, it was such a pleasure!
Just returned from our holiday at the house for the fourth time and hopefully we'll be back again soon. The lovely house has always been perfect in every way but this time we got the icing on the cake, a brand new Kamadojoe BBQ - absolutely amazing (for those unfamiliar with the make it's the Rolls Royce in charcoal BBQs) Thanks Cristina for another wonderful stay.
We stayed in Cristina's house for three nights and it was a delightful time. The house is beautifully furnished and superbly equipped all in the highest quality. The outside space is lovely too with plenty of seating and flowering plants. A real little gem!
We definitely had one of our best stays ever in Cristina's house. The interior was lovely, very well equipped, even the kitchen with everything you're dreaming of. Also it was absolutely clean and the air con was also a plus. The garden is an extra room where one could stay the whole day, relaxing and barbecuing while being surrounded by beautiful flowers. We will definitely come back!!!
algoz is a quiet little town in the hinterland of the south-western algarve and makes for a very good starting point for discovering the southernmost part of portugal in every direction. both the house and the garden behind it are designed and taken care of with an incredible eye for details—from the extremely well equipped kitchen to the cosy living room, the comfortable bed, a car port / yard and a garden in full bloom in the second half of july. cristina and her husband massimiliano couldn't have been more friendly and generous hosts. we enjoyed the taste and style of the house as well as their uncomplicated way of communicating with us. if you are looking for a place to stay in the algarve and want to avoid the heavy tourism areas close to the coast, consider this a real gem.
We have just returned after spending a wonderful fortnight at the house.This was our third visit and we hope to return again. As before, it was perfect and there is nothing Cristina could do to improve anything. It's the ideal bolthole, with it's lovely garden, in which to relax and recharge the batteries. Algoz is quite close with a few bars, shops and restaurants but a car is essential for getting out and about as the nearest beach is about 15 minutes drive away.
The house turned out to be even more charming than portrayed by the photographs. The owner had gone to a lot of trouble to make visitors feel very much at home and the house was clean, well maintained and exceptionally well kitted out and welcoming; there were so many nice little touches - impossible to list them all. A choice of restaurants was just a short drive away as were other facilities such as shops and banks.
This beautifully restored and deceptively spacious little house is extremely well equipped & furnished to a very high standard. As a previous reviewer mentioned 'the pictures really don't do it justice!'. Lovely walks around & about. The nesting swallows on the covered terrace were an absolute treat too! Also can heartily recommend Restaurant Leonel's in Algoz, 3 min drive or 20 min walk.
