Nature and surroundings
The immediate surroundings of the nature house are home to birds, bees, crickets and frogs, chameleons, salamanders, goats, butterflies and the occasional fox, mongoose or snake. Sandy beaches, laid-back Mediterranean day and night life, cafes and restaurants are not far away. The medieval town of Tavira has museums, galleries, arts and crafts markets, music, theater, movie house, small festivals and the island/nature reserve Ria Formosa. The Algarve is a region of traditional regional customs and ecosystems. The combination of blue sky, warm sun, fragrant herbs,crickets,frogs and birdsong give these hills that southern, Mediterranean feel. The southern coastal area has many beautiful, long sandy beaches with calm waters. Much of the year it is fantastic hiking, you can go in all directions here. In the summer, hiking is more suitable until 11 a.m. and after 5 in the evening. Go explore the hills on our bikes or eat at the restaurant nearby.

La casa è grande e spaziosa. Ha una camera da letto con letto matrimoniale e bagno privato, e un salotto che include 2 letti matrimoniali (uno sopra un soppalco). C'è anche un secondo bagno. Due tavoli all'esterno (uno per lato, così si può sempre scegliere se si preferisce sole o ombra). Il portico è davvero fantastico. La casa era davvero molto pulita.
Il proprietario è stato molto gentile e disponibile, inclusi consigli su dove andare a mangiare e dove fare la spesa.
Dalla casa sono inoltre facilmente raggiungibili Tavira, le spiaggie o l'areoporto di Faro.Questa nature house è perfetta per cercare pace nella natura, in quanto completamente immersa nelle colline. La strada per arrivarci non è scontata ma le indicazioni del proprietario sono state chiare ed esaustive.
Nei dintorni della casa non c'è segnale telefonico: ovviamente c'è il wifi, ma è una cosa da tenere a mente se ci si allontana per una camminata. -

The house, given its location, is rustic which we really liked. It has a log burner which kept the living area and one of the sleeping areas lovely and warm during our stay in December, when the nights could be a little chilly. We were surprised to find that it had good access to the internet and if you have a rainy day there is TV with access to things like Amazon Prime and Netflix. If you want polish, perfection and luxury accommodation then this is not the house for you, but if you want a very relaxed stay in nature in a lovely rustic house, as we did, then you'll enjoy it. Johan, the owner, is very responsive and helped us with lots of information about the house, walks and places to visit / eat, etc. We'll definitely be coming back. Thank you for the stay.
The house is fully in nature. It is within a lovely wooded area and on a hillside above a small river with tall reeds. Although isolated it is easily accessed by car from either Morenos or Umbria. If you like being in nature with wildlife and peace this is the place for you but just be aware that the access to the house is not likely to be suitable for people with mobility issues. The are lots of walks in the hills from the house and if you feel like visiting somewhere the beautiful town of Tavira is only a 15 to 20 minute drive away.

If you read the previous comments from 1 year ago, all the flaws are still there !!!! NOTHING has been done about it. I can safely send the recent photos that do not match the photos on the website, FB group, the website of hortus das canvas. you can hear the rats or other vermin running between the ceiling and the tiles of the roof, all night. All the cushions in the garden and on the chairs are with tears, faucet with tape, light in the kitchen only together when the cooker hood works, far too much to put here. Landlord's response: the other cottage has their own parking. You have privacy and the house is completely closed with no pests. There are currently no tears in pillows and other things you point out have already been fixed.
Als je de vorige opmerkingen van 1 jaar geleden leest, dan zijn alle gebreken er nog !!!! Er is NIETS aan gedaan. Ik kan gerust de recente foto's sturen die niet overeenkomen met de foto's op de website, de FB groep, de website van hortus das canvas. je hoort de ratten of ander ongedierte tussen het plafond en de dakpannen lopen, de ganse nacht. Alle kussen in de tuin en op de stoelen zijn met scheuren, kraan met tape, licht in de keuken enkel samen als de dampkap werkt, veel te veel om hier te zetten.
Reactie van verhuurder:
het andere huisje heeft hun eigen parking. U heeft privacy en het huis is volledig dicht zonder ongedierte. Er zijn momenteel geen scheuren in kussens en andere dingen die U aangeeft zijn reeds hersteld.The entire property was clearly once the jewel of these pictures! Beautifully situated, in the middle of nature, in peace and quiet. Now the entire property is unfortunately completely dilapidated and neglected. We find this a real shame. In the first place of course because this is not what we have chosen as a vacation. And then also disproportionate to the amount we paid for it. We really read on the previous reviews all the same and now so 1 year later it is still so !!!!
The tenants of the smaller house behind the pool (whose filter does not work) always go along your part, so no privacy !!!Het ganse domein is duidelijk ooit het pareltje van op deze foto’s geweest! Prachtig gelegen, midden in de natuur , in alle rust. Nu is het ganse domein jammer genoeg helemaal onderkomen en verwaarloosd. Helaas ook het ooit prachtige vakantiehuis.
We vinden dit echt ontzettend jammer. In de eerste plaats uiteraard omdat dit niet is waar wij voor gekozen hebben als vakantie. En vervolgens ook niet in verhouding staat met het bedrag dat wij hiervoor betaalden. We lezen echt op de vorige reviews alles hetzelfde en nu dus 1 jaar later is het nog zo !!!!
De huurders van het kleinere huisje achter het zwembad (waarvan de filter niet werkt) gaan altijd langs uw deel, dus geen privacy !!!This text is automatically translated.
