Located within a REN (Reserva Ecológica Nacional) in a beautiful valley called Vale Vinagre, this vacation estate features 4 brand-new, standalone vacation villas. The villas will be available for the first time starting in June 2022. Each villa features 2 bedrooms, a luxurious bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a 40 m² living room with a fully equipped kitchen, a large terrace, and a private pool. It is located about 15 minutes from Praia Albufeira, 45 km from Faro Airport, 2 hours from Lisbon, and 2 hours from Seville. There is also a beautiful lake in the immediate vicinity—a huge reservoir where you can go canoeing. Several water parks and well-known golf courses are scattered throughout the surrounding area. The beautiful hiking trail, approximately 300 km long and called the “Via Algarviana,” runs right through the property of this resort. It starts in the east (at the Spanish border) in Alcoutim and extends to the westernmost tip of the Algarve in Sagres. The world-famous golden-sand beaches are just 15 m away.

Everything matched what was in the pictures. Beautiful but the fun was spoiled by the mold and moisture in the cottage. But this was force majeure due to the super bad weather. Landlord's response: thank you very much for your feedback, although the late publication surprises me as you were always very positive on my regular visits and on departure. The exceptional rainfall in January and February was indeed force majeure - never so much rain in Portugal in 25 years, with huge damage everywhere. We removed the 4 small condensation mold spots (max 30x30 cm) within a minute immediately after your report on January 14, but you refused to let us come back the next day to follow up. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoyed the beautiful nature and space despite the weather conditions, for which you gave a 5/5.
Alles klopt wat op de foto's staat. Prachtig maar de pret werd bedorven door de schimmel en vocht in het huisje. Maar dit was overmacht door het super slechte weer.
Reactie van verhuurder:
hartelijk dank voor uw feedback, al verbaast de late publicatie mij gezien u bij mijn regelmatige bezoeken en bij vertrek steeds zeer positief was. De uitzonderlijke regenval in januari en februari was inderdaad overmacht – in 25 jaar tijd nog nooit zoveel regen in Portugal, met enorme schade overal. De 4 kleine condens schimmelplekjes (max 30x30 cm) hebben wij direct na uw melding op 14 januari binnen één minuut weggewerkt, maar u weigerde ons de volgende dag terug te laten komen voor opvolging. Desondanks hopen we dat u ondanks de weersomstandigheden toch hebt genoten van de prachtige natuur en ruimte, waarvoor u een 5/5 gaf.A summer house is not a winter house and due to the large amount of rain, it became a house with a lot of mold
Een zomerhuisje is geen winterhuisje en door de grote hoeveelheid regen werd het een huis met veel schimmel
