Casa Da Viuva (The Dower House) (AL 20549)

This was an amazing property would highly recommend and will definitely return

Location was excellent access to local shops and restaurant 100m Children and adults loved the swimming pool and outdoor area Bedrooms and bathroom facilities were fantastic

A nine bedroom townhouse a few minutes walk from the centre of Portimao town which was perfect for our holiday with three generations of family. The rooms are large with furniture which suits the size and age of the building and all but one of the bedrooms are en-suite (the one which is not does have its’ own bathroom just along the corridor). The pool and outside area are of a good size and well equipped with large table, plenty of chairs and sun loungers.

We loved staying at the Casa. We were 8 older gents who have been friends for 55 years and we were on a golf trip to the Algarve. The house was exactly as advertised and it suited our purposes perfectly. I have already recommended it to other groups who are coming to the Algarve for golf. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Thanks for all your help. Mike

Fabulous place to stay, so close to lots of amenities and places to eat. We all enjoyed our stay (ages 8 months to OAPs). Galina was so helpful. Highly recommend.

Thirteen people, all over the age of 70, had a reunion at this house and we all enjoyed it. The house itself is clean, well-equipped and is in a convenient location in a charming town. There are several fine restaurants in easy walking distance, the best being in the next street, Da Tocha. The house was excellent value and we would certainly consider booking it again sometime.

This large home in the heart of Portimao nicely accommodated a group of 15 of us. John was great to work with and responsive as a few things arose during our stay. Each bedroom has an en-suite bath and the pool was a nice reprieve from the heat. The location was perfect for getting all around the area. As others have reported - there is street noise so light sleepers should choose the bedrooms on the pool side of the house. It was unseasonably hot when we were there but once we got the house opened up and all the ceiling fans going it was comfortable. During the check in process be sure and ask for basic instruction for using some of the key appliances (otherwise you could end up with long long wash times when using the washer and dishwasher). Also, the kitchen could use some sharper knives and a good cleaning of the cupboards but otherwise there are plenty of dishes, utensils, cookware and serving dishes for a large group -- we did a fair amount of cooking. Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, gelato, buses etc. are all very close to the home and there was no need for a car. If you don't want to bring your own pool/beach towels John can help you. We used a local travel agent (ATS Travel) for airport transfers and a day trip to Sevilla and that worked out great. The mid-week freshen up by the housekeeper was nice. We'd definitely stay here again!

Practical, clean and great facilities. Enjoyed house and pool. Great access to restaurants and town center.

Well positioned close to a range of amenities including food shops, bars restaurants etc. A charming property with a great pool an outdoor area.

Perfect location to go into town or just chill out - 2 minutes from several gelato and other food places and the river, about 25 minutes walk from the beach. 10 minutes walk to allllll the supermarkets, just a really great place in a wonderful location!
