Amazing beautiful place to stay
What an amazing, beautiful place to stay. This is our second time at the villa and it never disappoints. The villa itself is heaven, the bedrooms are air-conditioned and bathrooms are very spacious, and the decor is beautiful. The location is perfect - quiet for a lovely relaxing holiday and a short drive away to all amenities, beaches, day trips and shopping centres. The beauty of this villa is that it has everything inside that you need. The kitchen is fully equipped, the pool table is an amazing extra, they have games to play and inflatables for the pool, books to read and toys for the children. If there is a problem with anything it was attended to immediately. I would highly recommend. We will be back for certain.

Wonderful villa, great location
The villa was fantastic, especially the pool and the view. The whole place was clean and tidy with everything you might need. Restaurants/supermarkets are a very short drive away, beach an easy drive too. David (property manager) was super friendly and helpful, plus had great tips on where to go for food/shops. We had a wonderful holiday here with our friends and children and would highly recommend, apologies have only just remembered to leave a review!

Why they chose this property

We had been coming to the Algarve on holiday with friends for many years, since when our children were small, and we all absolutely loved it. When the time came that we were able to buy somewhere for holidays we all chose the Algarve, and when we saw Casa Alfarroba we loved the views, the layout, and the fabulous pool. This location is ideal - close to the airport, not far from the coast and great beaches, 5 minutes drive from Sao Bras de Alportel and lots of amenities, restaurants etc. And we all still love coming here, and our family and friends still love coming with us!

What makes this property unique

Casa Alfarroba stunned us with the lovely views, great layout, and the pool is great for all ages. The circular marble hallway and stairs make a dramatic entrance and the house and garden is big enough for a large group in comfort. The location is in the countryside but convenient for everything within a short drive- local shops, restaurants, airport, and tourist attractions.
