This modern, comfortable home occupies half of the split-level villa designed by its two Dutch owners, situated on 5,500 m² of private land. They occasionally stay on the top floor of the rear section, but thanks to the villa’s layout and the difference in elevation, everyone enjoys complete privacy. Exclusively for you: a 90-square-meter front house, an enclosed east-facing terrace, a west-facing patio, a swimming pool, a hammock terrace, and a jeu-de-boules court. Spacious, bright living room with a fully equipped kitchen, a lounge with a Smart TV, and sliding doors leading to the east-facing terrace. You’re welcome to barbecue on the enclosed west-facing patio. The master bedroom (180 cm wide bed) also has access to the east-facing terrace. The second spacious bedroom has two comfortable single beds and a sink. There is one luxury bathroom. From your east-facing terrace, you can walk to the pool at the back, which offers a beautiful view of the hills. The first section of the pool is 40 cm deep: ideal for children or for relaxing. Would you like to come with 6 people? See listing 64437. You will always be the sole tenant. Pool heating is available from April 1 to October 31.
Nature and surroundings
Although the villa appears to be surrounded by nature, it is actually very centrally located, at the edge of a small village with a church, a shepherd, two simple eateries, and next to a nature park. A 5-minute drive takes you to São Brás de Alportel, where you’ll find a market, supermarkets, and restaurants. Faro Airport is 20 km away, and beautiful beaches are also within a half-hour drive. The house is situated in a vast Natura 2000 area with olive trees, pine trees, cork oaks, and eucalyptus trees. The villa has 20 solar panels, a solar water heater, and a well with filtered drinking water. The pool is treated with magnesium, which is very good for the skin and hypoallergenic. From your pool terrace, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the hills, and there’s a large table where you can dine in the shade. Please note: the pool loses its sunny position from mid-October to mid-March. Further down, there are two more terraces in the woods where you can relax in a hammock, play Jeu-de-boules, or swing. Hiking trails start right from the house, and mountain bikes can be delivered to the house!

There’s a hiking and mountain biking area right nearby. Shopping options are just a short drive away. The beaches are also accessible by car.
The accommodation is a great starting point for excursions, whether to the coast or into the countryside, which is definitely worth seeing.
We had a wonderful vacation all around.Ein Wander- und Mountainbike Gebiet liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind schnell mit dem Auto erreichbar. Strände sind ebenso mit dem Auto erreichbar.
Die Unterkunft ist ein toller Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge, egal ob an die Küste oder mal ins Landesinnere, welches durchaus sehenswert.
Wir haben rundum einen schönen Urlaub verbracht.A truly tasteful, lovely place to stay. Even though the hosts are on-site, your privacy is completely guaranteed. The pool offers a wonderful view of the surrounding area. Thanks to the four terraces, you can always choose to sit in the shade or in the sun, whichever you prefer. We really enjoyed our stay.
Eine wirklich geschmackvolle, hübsche Unterkunft. Auch wenn die Vermieter vor Ort sind, ist die Privatsphäre absolut gewährleistet. Vom Pool hat man eine wunderbare Aussicht auf das Umland. Durch die 4 Terrasse hat man immer die Möglichkeit im Schatten oder in der Sonne zu sitzen, so wie man es eben gerade möchte. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen.

Pros:
- Quiet setting away from all the tourist crowds
- Lovely patio and pool
- Beautifully furnished luxury home equipped with every amenity
- Very comprehensive information folder that clearly took a lot of time and effort to put together
Cons:
- The 4-person cottage is located at the front near the (deserted) road, and the beautiful patio and pool are at the back and accessible via the side. With children, there’s no direct view of the pool from the cottage
- lots of ants in the cottage
- 50 kWh is included, but it’s not enough if you want to use the AC during the day and not just at night
Response from the host:
It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the house and its beautiful location! And thank you for the feedback about the air conditioning and the ants. Just to clarify: since not everyone uses the air conditioning as much, we feel this is a fairer arrangement. For an extra 25€, you could have enjoyed the cool air continuously. And small ants are common here in the summer; fortunately, they always disappear quickly, and we hope they didn’t bother you.Voordelen:
- rustige omgeving weg van alle toeristische drukte
- heerlijk terras en zwembad
- prachtig ingerichte luxe woning van alle gemakken voorzien
- hele uitgebreide informatiemap waar veel tijd en energie in is gestoken
Nadelen:
- het 4 pers huisje ligt aan de voorkant bij de (verlaten) weg en het prachtige terras en zwembad aan de achterkant en is via de zijkant te bereiken. Met kinderen vanuit het huisje geen direct zicht op het zwembad
- veel mieren in het huisje
- 50 kWh is inclusief inbegrepen maar is te weinig als je overdags de airco wilt gebruiken en niet enkel ‘s nachts
Reactie vanuit de verhuurder:
Wat leuk te lezen dat jullie genoten hebben van het huis en de mooie ligging! En dank je voor de feedback over de airco en miertjes. Graag een toelichting; omdat niet iedereen zoveel gebruik maakt van airco’s vinden we het eerlijker zo. Voor 25€ extra konden jullie continue genieten in de koelte. En kleine miertjes zijn normaal hier in de zomer, gelukkig verdwijnen ze altijd snel en we hopen dat je er geen last van hebt gehad.A beautiful and peaceful setting with stunning views
Mooie en rustige omgeving met prachtig uitzicht

Beautiful house in a beautiful spot just outside Alportel. Our girls loved the pool! In Alportel nice restaurants, many tips from the owners.
Prachtig huis op een mooie plek net buiten Alportel. Onze meiden waren niet weg te slaan van het zwembad! Huis is van alle gemakken voorzien, mede door de vriendelijke eigenaren Loes en Loek.
In Alportel leuke restaurantjes, veel tips van de eigenaren gekregen.Quiet area, however, not far drive for beautiful beaches and the old center of Faro. We enjoyed the beautiful weather, beautiful nature, could spot dolphins and went to a swimming paradise. All in all we had a wonderful vacation!
Rustige omgeving, echter niet ver rijden voor prachtige stranden en het oude centrum van Faro.
We hebben genoten van het prachtige weer, de mooie natuur, dolfijnen kunnen spotten en naar een zwemparadijs geweest. Al met al een heerlijke vakantie gehad!This text is automatically translated.
