Lovely quiet location

Excellent. A slightly challenging 2 kms drive up a dirt track but the benefit is a very tranquil location.

Wonderful do-lots, do-nothing getaway.

The cottage nestles in a beautiful valley a mile north of the town along a dusty track, and is therefore very quiet and secluded. You can laze about in the sun all day or walk the tracks that meander over the surrounding hills (Google maps shows them all in grey). The scenery is stunning. Or you can use the cottage as a base from which you can explore further west along the Algarve coast (in our case, as far as Lagos) or further east into Spain (we got to Sevilla, spent a day and a night there, then went down to Gibralta and Tarifa) or further north into the glorious hills. Just down the road are the ferries to all the barrier islands enclosing the Formosa delta. The beaches are stunning and so is the wildlife. Something for everyone. Oh, and Maria and Paulo were delightful and did everything we asked of them. Hosts with enthusiasm!

Peaceful Countryside Retreat

Our hosts Maria and Paul were very friendly and accommodating. Meeting them in Santa Catarina made finding the villa easy. The villa overall was good and the fireplace extremely useful in the evenings. The kitchen oven not working made it slightly harder for our Christmas meals but didn’t spoil our stay. The new kitchen was installed as we left. The location is brilliant for peace and quiet. We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely house.

Quiet in the country not far from the coast

A nice quiet place to stay in the hills just north of Santa Catarina. In a secluded spot with no close neighbours. Nice to relax and enjoy the birds singing. It had all we needed inside and out. Small pool, BBQ, loungers, outside sink etc, sunny or shady places to sit and eat, all you need for outside living. Equipped kitchen, TV, sofa etc if you need to be inside. Handy location for the area east of Faro which is not built up like the Algarve beach towns to the west. Tavira is a nice riverside town with restaurants and some supermarkets, Fuseta, a smaller fishing town with a nice beach is maybe 25 mins away. Ferries out to the island beaches etc from both of these and Olhao. Maria and her husband were very friendly and helpful. We hope to return to explore more of the area.

Close to Nature

This little cottage is in an idyllic setting and is completely unsophisticated . We have spent 2 winter months breakfasting outside and hearing owls hooting at night . We loved our stay but it is not for those who demand luxury !

Superb getaway holiday

Maria and her husband's welcome was wonderful. They even left a bottle of wine for us! They are lovely and charming people. We wanted a holiday that was away from the crowds so we could relax and this villa was perfect. It is outside the village so a car is essential but it suited us very well. The villa was well-equipped and very comfortable. We would have no hesitation in returning here.

The Property and scenery were breathtaking.

Our stay was amazing. Maria and her husband were there to greet us our plane was delayed and we were held up at the car rental so where 3 hours late. They where wonderful and so patient. There was a lovely bottle of complimentary wine as we arrived as well. Maria showed us how everything worked and left us to enjoy our holiday. It was fantastic, it is so quiet and picturesque. The pool was a welcome perk in the heat The village was wonderful to as where the people. There is a wonderful cafe in the village where you can buy bread and pastries and enjoy a coffee or beer. There is also a place to purchase fresh fish and produce. There is also a lidl nearby as well. I would recommend a car as this is rural...but also wonderful. We went to Tavira, Faro, Loule and Estoi all i highly recommend but at the end of the day loved returning to our little villa in Sant Catarina. I cannot find words to explain how truly beautiful and welcomed the holiday was and we are looking forward to when we return next year. Thank you Maria and your husband for a wonderful holiday experience. We miss you already. Love shelly and nicki.

Return to Paradise for Christmas and New Year

This is our third time to this little gem in the countryside and as always it was superb. We spent the whole of Christmas and New Year, a total of 4 weeks. Maria ordered us enough firewood for our holiday, so the cottage was nice and cosy, she even put flannelette sheets and pillow cases on the bed for extra comfort and warmth, I would strongly recommend this lovely place to anyone who wants it quiet at night but close enough to all amenities and beaches if that is your thing.... we will be back again and again

A gem in the countryside

This lovely little house is set in a valley with mother nature as your host, it is a bit of a bumpy ride up the 2km track, but that wasn't a problem and soon became part of the fun. You wake up every morning to sound of song birds singing and got to bed with the song of the Nightingale. The house has everything you require, no matter if you cook or eat out at the little cafés in Santa Caterina and the biggest BBQ you have ever seen. The owners Maria and Paulo are the nicest people you ever wished to meet and welcome you on arrival. The property was spotlessly clean and well maintained, we will definitely be going again, loved it... Tony & Margaret Bason

Natur und Ruhe

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und waren glücklich über diesen schönen, ruhigen Ort im Hinterland. Die Algarve ist lebendig genug und alles gut zu erreichen. An die Fahrt gewöhnt man sich, wir hatten einen Kleinwagen und konnten die Straße gut meistern. Vor Ort hat es uns an nichts gefehlt und der Kontakt mit Maria und ihrem Mann war sehr verbindlich und unkompliziert. Dass der Handyempfang so schlecht ist, war eher erholsam und hat uns nicht gestört.

Quinta Rouxinol

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche in der Quinta. Mitten in der Natur. Man hört nichts außer den Geräuschen der Zikaden. Das Haus war wie beschrieben. Alles was man benötigt war vorhanden. Auch die Sauberkeit war nicht zu bemängeln. Man sollte evtl im vorraus wissen, dass man um an das Haus zu gelangen eine ca. 2-3 km lange unbefestigte enge Straße entlang fahren muss und dies bei der Auswahl des Mietwagens evtl. berücksichtigen sollte. Ein geländefähiges Auto ist von Vorteil. Auch der Telefonempfang bzw. Internetempfang ist stark eingeschränkt und nur an wenigen Stellen auf dem Gelände vorhanden. Dies hat uns allerdings gar nicht gestört. Ganz im Gegenteil. Dadurch konnte man sich noch mehr entspannen und die Umgebung genießen. Auch die Vermieter waren immer sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich und antworteten stets schnell bei Fragen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort Urlaub machen und kommen sicher irgendwann wieder.

Sitio muito tranquilo

Foi Agradável deu para descansar. Só se houve as cigarras e os passarinhos. Pena não haver rede de telemóvel e net o que para os jovens e para quem precisa de trabalhar foi bastante aborrecido. O caminho é de estrada batida de 15 minutos até chegar à casa. Mas no geral foi bom para descansar e a cada e as comodidades são boas. Tem tudo o que se precisa para passar uma boa semana de férias.
