Cosy country cottage with plunge pool & bbq set in the peaceful countryside,

A comfortable private cottage with plunge pool, private garden and bbq. set in the heart of the Algarve, with lovely views, a peaceful place to unwind, yet close to the beautiful coastline and stunning beaches by car. Enjoy a rest have a bbq, chill out soak up the sunshine on the sun deck away from the madness! Super markets, restaurants etc only an 8 minute drive in the beautiful village of Messines. Algarve shopping is a mere 12 minutes by car, we are also on the Algarvian way walking route. A car is essential for moving around. Sweet sounds of birds can be heard too for any bird lovers. The popular old village of Alte is only 15 minutes away too, with the Font available for swimming during the season. Absolutely a must to see some of the charm Portugal offers. We welcome you with open arms to enjoy and share in a little piece of paridise.

Very beautiful

This location is great, beautiful garden for peace and quiet. Several seating areas around the house. You don't have to leave, you have everything you need here. You do need a car, groceries, etc., but everything is within reach of 10 minutes to 30 minutes. Environment is beautiful. The owners are wonderful people Paul and Wendy. Help you with everything where necessary. They have a lot of respect for their guests. They really spoiled us. And happy that we were allowed to stay with them in their lovely house. And so nice that we met these people. We will definitely see each other again, lots of love Ron and Linda 😘 big hug also for Timmy and Titch

Nature and peace in rendez-vous

Notre famille de deux adultes et deux enfants de 11 et 12 ans a vraiment apprécié son séjour chez Paul et Wendy. L’accueil était parfait, tant de la part des hôtes que le lieu, et la propreté de la location. Paul et Wendy ont tout fait pour adapter le logement à la composition de notre famille afin que chacun y trouve son confort. La location dispose de tout le nécessaire (terrasses, cuisine, barbecue et piscine)le tout dans un état irréprochable afin de passer un moment de calme et de serenite proche de la nature

Séjours du 9 au 23 juillet 2024

Nous avons passé un excellent sejour pour notre première fois en algarve. Nos hôtes, wendy et paul, nous ont très bien accueillis malgré la barrière de la langue. Maison de vacance agréable à vivre, retirée de la cohue des bords de plages. La piscine était tres agréable en fin de journée.
