Beautiful Spacious, Villa With Large Salt Water Pool Near To Praia Marinha Beach

Just amazing, highly recommend this property. Rebecca was just lovely - wish we could have stayed for longer.

This is a lovely property - the house was very clean and nicely furnished.Additionally the pool area was huge and we loved spending time in it.There was a great restaurant about 5 minutes walk away (the rustic restaurant) which we had 3 meals at and the beach was only a short walk away.The negatives were the orchard is in the listing but we were told on arrival it was private and we couldn’t access it.This is understandable given the owner has a cottage in it but we felt this didn’t reflect the listing.Also the washing machine was in a locked seperate part of the villa which we weren’t directly allowed to use - to have our clothes washed we had to contact the owner and she would wash and hang them then out to dry. Although she did this quickly everytime we asked her we found this situation slightly uncomfortable and inconvenient (given we had a toddler and a baby particularly).

This property could not be more beautiful and comfortable or the host more welcoming. Everything is exactly as pictured. The pool is wonderful. The home is extremely spacious with full baths attached to each bedroom plus a full hall bath, two half baths (one with outdoors access), and an outside shower. Only about a 10 minute walk to the nearest beach (faster walkers than us could certainly make it quicker). At the beach, the stairs to reach down to the sand are very nice and well maintained and there is a lifeguard.

This was our favorite vacation rental out of MANY vacation rentals over the years! The villa is gorgeous - even better than the photos, which are what drew us in. From the moment we pulled up to the gate (yes, there is an electronic gate - easy to operate, and a nice added sense of security), we felt like were were at a luxury resort. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which makes for a very happy family! Rebecca is an excellent communicator, and helped us to settle in, and offered recommendations for local restaurants and things to do. We could reach out to her at any time with questions, and she was always responsive. We spent many happy hours in the pool, and cooked breakfast at home, which we enjoyed on the upstairs patio, looking over the ocean in the distance. The Marinha beach is a 10 minute walk down the road and is simply stunning. It's clearly very popular, as the police blocked our road during the daytime to cars trying to park at the overfilled beach parking lot. We had no issue telling the police we were staying in a house on the road, and they always waved us through. We are still dreaming of our poolside days and quiet mornings and evenings in this beautiful home, and it has our highest recommendation for those looking for peace and serenity in a perfect location in the Algarve.

Candida & Rebecca were so welcoming and helpful right from booking to checkin in/out. Thank you both!First impressions..stunning! The entrance!The house itself is located 5 minutes walk from Praia da Marinha beach so morning swims and leisurely visits were lovely, no need to pack up for the whole day. The house is 10 minutes drive to the nearest supermarket so 2 big shops during a 1 week stay, we had everything we needed for meals, drinks and evenings in. The house is well equipped with pretty much everything you would need for a holiday. The location is nicely quiet and the house is not overlooked. If you're looking for full on night life and busy bars, this is not the place for you, a few Euros in an Uber for night out is easy and v.cheap, but the loveliest attraction is the fact the house is big, the pool is huge for a rental and beautifully furnished that you can't help but relax. Lazy mornings by the pool, then the beach or vice versa, exploring the costal path and all the wonderful beaches just a short drive east or west makes this spot perfect for families or groups who truly want to experience the Algarve. Renting a car is wise.The house is located perfectly to all the major roads to all the local towns and villages. Carvoeiro, Ferragudo, Albuferia, Monchique, Silves are all easily connected. The gardens around the house are stunning, well cared for and the property very secure. We can't wait to come back, next time for much longer.Gareth, Liz & Connie

The house is impressive, soon as you arrive through the gates you get that feeling that it’s been well loved. Very much traditional features throughout. Not modern but classy. Deceptively big…. Spent many hours at the rear of the property in the spacious pool and shaded sitting area. Candida and her daughter Rebecca couldn’t do enough for us. Always replied to any queries I had and were so helpful when we arrived.

This villa was much larger than I had anticipated . The rooms are very spacious , and each bedroom has its own very large en-suite with bath. Plus an extra shower room. Upstairs rooms - living room, dinning room and kitchen were also very large. Access to a wonderful balcony here, lovely views. We enjoyed some lazy breakfasts up here. There is ample space for 2 families travelling together . Outdoor space was lovely, pool is amazing, plenty of seating / sunbathing, and shaded canopy for those not wishing to be in sun but means everyone can still be together. I would highly recommend staying here.

We stayed at Quinta de Moliero for over a week. Candida & Rebecca made our vacation fantastic, very clean, house with very good vibes. The location is excellent you can walk to the beach and explore the coast from the fantastic trails. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful home in a fantastic location. Kitchen very well equipped and it was so lovely to arrive on Sunday evening to a few basics for the kitchen; fresh fruit, ham, cheese, bread, honey, tea, coffee, wine etc. Lots to see and do in the area but we were quite happy to have lazy days by the pool relaxing and evenings spent barbecuing or watching the sunset on the local beach. A week wasn’t long enough. Thank you to Candida and Rebecca for a wonderful stay!

Our families very much enjoyed our stay at the villa. Candida looked after us very well. The villa is spacious with plenty of room for our 2 families of 4. The house has an olde worlde charm with many antiques and antiquities around the house. Bathrooms have recently been upgraded, perhaps the kitchen could do with a facelift, although all appliances and equipment were to hand. Lovely views from the upstairs terrace and a fabulous large salt water pool, there is also a lovely garden area beyond the pool which the children enjoyed exploring. Only down side was that we found the road outside busy at the time we stayed due to the popularity of the beach at the bottom of the road. Cars were parked on both sides of the road outside the house and all the way up the road and there were a lot of people around so it wasn't completely tranquil. I believe this is mostly in August. With locked electric gates you did retain your privacy and have your own parking area.
