Beautiful villa and gardens needs lots of money spent on it!

The prroperty was beautiful and massive and the garden and pool were perfect. However the beds were so so uncomfortable and one was so old it had rusted through and completely collapsed. There was no cleaning equipment at all no way of keeping it clean except by buying everything - which we did. We had to leave it all there. There wasn't even salt or pepper or sugar or anything at all! We had to spend a fortune on essentials and then leave them there. When it came to leaving the host got angry with us as the bed was broken and the showers as well - because they were so old! She called us bad people and that she had more guests coming which is hardly our fault but she left a sour taste im afraid i cannot recommend. It needs a lot of money spending on it and she should leve essentials for guests to use. She sould also learn some. Ustomer service!

Excellent house

A spacious and beautiful house, able to accommodate 11 to 15 guests easily. Very clean ground and swimming pool . We had absolutely wonderful time. A small suggestion , if the host can keep few tea bags and some sugar, guests can have some tea until they get access to the shop. Because there is no shops in a walkable distance . Otherwise the host was very attentive and helpful . We would highly recommend this house

Blissful seclusion!

On arrival the lovely Maria gave us a quick tour, and it is surprisingly even larger than the pictures show. The location was easy enough to find and as peaceful and secluded as described. Despite this the villa is only 5 mins drive from an excellent supermarket/ fish market/ and local bars and shops. If you drive or go by taxi Albuferia centre and a lovely marina are only 15 mins (& euros) away. The one small disappointment we had that being probably the first visitors of the season the fresh pool water was too cold to use for the first few days but soon warmed up. This wasn’t a massive negative for us as the Villa’s well laid out and beautiful gardens and relaxing areas were just what we needed! Thank you so much for our lovely stay! And hopefully see you soon. Kind regards Tom, Sarah, Becki, and Jamie

Absolutely fantastic

The property was exactly like the description. Actually we were even more impressed. The villa is really top, as we arrived we couldn't believe it. The garden really good mantained and the house just beautiful and clean. We spent there two amazing weeks, nice weather, nice people, good food and a lot more. We traveled with an another family, in total we were 10 people. The house was cleaned once a week and even we got new towels. Thank you Maria for everything, we just had such a wonderful time in your villa. Hope to see you again. Greetings from the suisse people. Rebekka, Thomas, Sandra, Marcello and 6 kids.

we definately go back next year!!

We had a lovely vacation in this beautiful villa. The situation is perfect, in a peaceful rural setting away from the hassle of Albufeira, but at the same time only 10 minutes away from the old center and the beaches. The property was much bigger than we expected and completely secured. Our 5 small kids could play the whole day in a safe environment while we spent hours around the lovely pool terrace's table. The villa is very well maintained, the garden and pool at perfection and we received cleaning in the villa 2 times per week. There were some extra's we didn’t expected, like a Jacuzzi bad, a piano and a fantastic outside BB area. We were very well received. The owners are fantastic and very helpful. They live next door, but are very discreet. Whenever we needed something, we could call them and they gave us always a solution right away. When we told them that it was our little son’s birthday, they even brought us wine and baked a birthday cake for him. The owner is a famous Fado singer and one evening we were invited to go to his performance in a lovely restaurant in the city. It was an unforgettable evening. Thank you very much. We’ll definitely go back to the villa next year. It was just perfect for us.

June 2012

We are a large extended family with small children and we stayed in the villa for a fortnight in June 2012. Our first impressions of the villa were great, it was a beautiful property and the owners were very welcoming on our arrival. The villa is very spacious, however I would recommend hiring a car, as it was up to €15 for a taxi each way, into Albufeira. One major flaw to us was the amount of privacy we got - the owners live in the villa just next door and the gardens are connected by a gate in which they seemed to just let themselves through every day to do things like check the pool, water the garden etc. This was not particularly a problem but would have been better if they had called first or even knocked to let us know that they were coming. The villa was cleaned a few times a week by the owner and her employees, however our family members who slept on the sofa bed and used the spare blankets ended up covered in flea bites and had to take a trip to the pharmacy to purchase repellent and antihistamines. The family did not take a damage deposit on our arrival, however they did give us a bill at the end of the stay for 2 sunbeds which had cracked when our family members had simply sat down on them. One final thing that I would mention is although the villa is surrounded by a fence and a secure gate, there were times when we feared for our safety - as the villa is in quite a secluded area, surrounded by only a few other villas and in the countryside (we noticed some 'odd' characters around the area coming in and out). There was one evening that we heard a car outside of the villa in the early hours of the morning and when we went to look out of the window there was a man who looked like he was trying to enter the gate. When we contacted the owners by phone, in a panic, we established that it was them checking that we had locked the gate. All in all a lovely property and we had an enjoyable holiday, however the privacy issue was a major flaw to us, and given the money that we paid, we would have expected the owners to respect our privacy a little better. We won't be returning and probably wouldn't recommend the villa to friends/family.

rees family holiday

We have just come back from a terrific two weeks at this villa. The villa was perfect for us as it was our family holiday for adults and 4 kids and had the essential ingrediants of a big pool and a beautiful and well kept garden for a game of cricket and soft tennis. The pool is the star when we go away and this pool was a delight. Nice and big with a shallow end for the kids to play and a deep end where I could jump in and cool off. The villa itself inside was very, very clean and clinical and all done to a high standard and the position of the villa in the countryside suited us perfectly. The villa was also safe and secure with a fence surrounding it and a large gate but only 10 minutes from Albufeira by car. The Praia family are lovely people and couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. I can only highly recommend this villa to anyone thinking of the Algarve and from our experience they will be enjoying a super villa and be looked after very well by the Praia family.

Agréable séjour

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans une villa spacieuse située dans un endroit très très calme. Décoration ancienne mais très très propre, appréciable d’avoir plusieurs salles de bain. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques ils viennent de bonne heure le matin pour l’arrosage et l’entretien de la piscine. Je recommande cette location pour passer des vacances en famille.

Nos vacances à Ferreiras

Cette maison est très agréable et très bien aménagée extérieurement. Une piscine fabuleuse , avec une bonne dizaine de transats, dans laquelle les enfants ( ils étaient 5 de 3 ans à 11 ans ) ont bien profité. Nous aussi d'ailleurs! Le jardin est magnifique et très bien entretenu. Sur le devant de la maison une cuisine d'été avec barbecue, table et chaises. Et à l'arrière de la maison ( du côté piscine) une terrasse avec une très grande table et chaises pour y manger. Par contre à l'intérieur la maison est très meublée avec des meubles anciens , je pense qu'il y aurait quelques travaux à prévoir ! Remplacement des pare-douches (aucun ne se fermait correctement) , revoir la capacité du ballon d'eau chaude car nous étions 8 et ceux qui prenaient leur douche tardivement n'avaient plus d'eau chaude . Revoir également la literie car nous avions des matelas peu épais posés sur des planches de bois ( donc très très durs! ). Maria ( la propriétaire qui habite à côté ) est très gentille, serviable et très discrète. Par exemple, nous avons eu la cafetière qui est tombée en panne, le jour même elle nous en a acheter une autre. Elle a vu que nous avions fait une petite fête pour les anniversaires de 2 de nos petits et très gentiment nous a apporté un gros saladier de mousse au chocolat délicieuse. Malgré ces quelques "petits défauts" ( qui peut-être seront corrigés !) à l'unanimité nous y retournerons avec un énorme plaisir. Nous y avons passé 15 jours de vacances extraordinaires. Merci beaucoup à Maria et José pour tout !

Férias em familia

Éramos um grupo de 12 pessoas e por isso era importante encontrar uma propriedade com condições para nos proporcionar uma estadia agradável e confortável. Foi exactamente o que encontrámos! A casa tem todas as condições para acolher grupos/famílias oferecendo todas as condições tanto em conforto, espaço interior e exterior como uma cozinha muito bem equipada. E para quem gosta de grelhados tem à nossa disposição um barbeque espetacular. Os proprietários são muito atenciosos, simpáticos e discretos. Não muito próximo das praias (+/- 7 kms) mas com bons acessos. Recomendo! :-)
