We had a very relaxing stay here. The house was beautiful, comfortable and cool and the children loved the pool. Each room had air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. Unfortunately on the last night, our youngest child wet the bed. I stripped and washed the bedding and left a note to say what had happened. The mattress had to be replaced and we were asked to pay an extra 220. This was a bit gutting having spent thousands on the accomodation, and after having had such a lovely week. One of those things, but those travelling with young kids - remember to pack a mattress protector!

Beautiful villa

Villa was very modern, all amenities in place. Great terraces and lovely pool. Nice quiet area of the Algarve but close enough to local restaurants etc. Great communication with the owners and Alison who looks after the villa. Definitely be staying again 😂

Nice place

The property was as advertised and support from Anne was great. The neighborhood was a bit noisy but otherwise fine. The restaurant down the street, Rui's, was the best meal we had in Portugal.

Excellent Property for relaxing family holiday

Lovely villa with one of the best layouts of all the villas we have been in over the 25 years of coming to the Algarve. The pool was positioned perfectly for the sun all day and the pool heating enabled us to use the pool everyday of our holiday. The area has some amazing restaurants and Quinta da Tor winery is well worth a visit for the tour tasting and tapas. As cat lovers it was a pleasure having Mia visit most days.

Wonderful Holiday in very pleasant Villa with beautiful views

Having stayed in a number of Villas in the Sao Bras area over the past 20 years this was one of the most pleasant. On arrival access to the Villa was as per the instructions and everything was pleasing on the eye. All facilities within the Villa were top class and the Villa very spacious; pool was visited twice during our stay which was reassuring. The Villa was visited once by the Cleaner, a very pleasant young lady, who did a thorough job. We had an issue with the wind on a couple of nights and consequently we laid the Parasols on the ground during that period. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Great villa - truly deserves 5 stars!

We really enjoyed the pool and the villa felt immediately comfortable. Lots of utensils, storage, drying facilities and the like made for a very relaxing stay. The villa was spotless and we found the bbq to be one of the best we've used on holiday! We all slept well (in the comfortable beds) and found the area to be a great location to explore the eastern end of the Algarve. Highlights for us were Tavira - such a beautiful and historical town with great shops and eating places - and driving out into the hills above visiting towns such as Salir and Alte. Overall we've had a wonderful holiday and we would love to return at some point! Muito obrigado! PS - our restaurant recommendation is Sal da Serra - 5 minutes down the road from the villa. Spicy food from Mozambique along with delicious traditional Portuguese dishes. We absolutely loved it!

Great home form home

We had a great stay at Casa de Pedra Furada. The pool was great - we opted for the heating which was a winning decision for the kids especially. We are mainly at the villa, which was made so easy, as it was very well equipped. Made use of the terrace and BBQ and enjoyed the views at breakfast and dinner. The great TV options came in handy as we had a day of weather warnings. Beds were comfy, clean and the area is super quiet, so lovely nights sleep all round. The space looks so much smaller in the photos - it’s a fabulous airy space, with high ceilings. We had a hire car, which I think would be essential. We didn’t drive for more than an hour (one way) and experienced diverse beaches, water parks, lakes and historic picturesque towns. A great base and a fabulous place for families. Thank you.

perfect villa

We were a family of 7 and the villa was perfect for us in every way. Prior to arrival communications were brilliant and as we were arriving late, provisions were made available. We couldn't fault anything. Everything we could have needed was available. The views and the privacy were amazing. 2 excellent restaurants were easily at hand and to travel further, Ubers were so cheap. We can thoroughly recommend the villa, the area and plan to return.

Outstanding Stay - Highly Recommended

Everything about our stay was absolutely wonderful! The villa was amazing with breathtaking views, a fantastic pool, and situated in a perfect area. The communication with Alison was superb - she responded immediately to any questions we had and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. We highly recommend exploring the nearby charming towns, particularly São Brás de Alportel which has such a lovely, cozy atmosphere. We also want to recommend Loulé, Olhão and Vale do Lobo beach, which were absolutely wonderful with numerous excellent restaurants and golf facilities for those who enjoy the sport. The weather was absolutely fantastic throughout our visit. Everything exceeded our expectations - we couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Fantastic Family Holiday

Spent a week with our son , his wife and our 18 month old grandson . The villa was perfect to accommodate us all - the 3 bedrooms were spacious , air conditioned and each with an en suite. The swimming pool was a good size . The villa had stunning views with a great outdoor seating space . Communication with the owner was great . I would recommend Ruiz steakhouse which is a comfortable 5 minute walk from the villa .We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay . Thankyou

Wonderful

We had a wonderful stay. The house is much bigger than the photos suggest, and as others have commented, it is spotless. We tended to hit a beach (30 mins drive) in the morning and then relax at the house, by the pool, in the afternoon. The only nit we have is that a house with such a great pool should supply pool towels … we left a couple for future use :). The AC works well, and was needed but really only for quick spurts. There is a good steakhouse in walking distance, and a café, but if you want the best pizza you will ever have, head to DaJesus Pizzeria in Loulé. The Italian owner is passionate about his creations and the pizzas are fantastic! All in all, if you are looking for a wonderful, clean house, with a good pool that is away from the tourists, but easy driving to the beaches of the Algarve, we thoroughly recommend this place.

Beautiful villa with nice view to the mountains

We loved it. All of if - the house, the place, the surroundings and the time we spent there. Check in was smooth and easy (little remark to Anne - precise address or map coordinates of the property instead of description of the directions toward the villa would make it much easier to find the property, but once the manager Alison was contacted, it was all solved). Everybody was screaming happy to find out that each of the bedrooms has its own bathroom, excellent! The layout of the house makes it feel light and spacious, laundry room with washing machine was a very welcome plus, not to mention a separate outside space within a house for drying the laundry! Sure thing the place children could be found most of the time was swimming pool, but the role I was dealt was playing water tennis with our youngest, good to find swimming things as well at the pool! Outside sitting area has fantastic view, just be aware that the evening winds might make you go inside earlier than you would have wished. But anyway, gazing at the stars above from the outside space are undeniably fabulous wind or not. Having read about the dogs bothering good night sleep, I have to mention that we didn’t hear a single dog barking during the night. Maybe they were just told not to bark anymore :) Two full rows of books in English made me and our eldest daughter happily find the one and only read at the pool - each of us managed to read a book while there. TV and cartoons were consumed by our youngest prior going to sleep. And last, but not least - all communication and attitude of Anne and Alison was also very smooth, it was pleasure to know that in case we need, they were always there to answer. We would be happy to be back some day, thank you!

WONDERFUL! Should be 5 stars really but read below.

Property was stunning and a home from home. Beautiful location, wonderful restaurant and bar locally in a rural village. IMHO the best steaks we have ever had in the Algarve. We have eaten steaks in the Algarve and usually they are quite poor. Rui does not serve the usual tough flat leather with an egg on top!! We have eaten out in the central Alentejo, Beja, Castro Verde, Mertola, Alcoutim, Sagres, Tavira, (Olhao really don't bother!) and many more over the years. BACK TO THE PROPERTY AND LOCAL SURROUNDINGS. Amazing English TV channels not that we are interested but it suited our 85 year old father who can not do without it. Close to Loule and Sao Bras De Alportel. There is amazing wildlife in the garden and nearby valleys great for photography. Golden oriels in the garden! Lovely bedrooms and en-suites. Valleys and hills with awesome landscapes rivers and walks. We had the pool heated as May is never warm enough for a swim. Our two major gripes are......1.You only get one key to the back and front doors which can blow shut and lock you out. The owners suggest you leave one key in the key safe so that only leaves you with only one key to work with. Getting the keys in and out of the safe is a bind. It is so small that the keys jam in the box due to nowhere to hang the keys. Fiddly! It is no good for different family members to go off as you really do need two sets. First prestigious and high priced villa we have stayed in without two sets! 2. You are warned that one of the entrance gates "is a little stiff"? It took two of us to open and close it so we gave up and just left them open. We would definately go back to this villa again but sadly it has missed out on 5 stars which it so deserves because of the keys and the gate. Nick, Ann, Mike

Nice spacious rural villa to relax in

It’s an 'away from the hustle/bustle' villa in a quiet rural setting. If that's the holiday you're after then this will suit the bill. Rooms are large, aircon efficient and needed! Only thing disturbing the peace was the kennels (maybe a vet's compound?) down by the local cafe/restaurant area (Rui's Steakhouse?) Come feeding time those dogs kicked up a fair racket! Far enough away really, but we can't claim it was pure undisturbed bliss the whole time Pool was nice - there's a pretty steep slope change from 'shallow end' to 'deep end' so it's one to watch out for if you have kids Generally went into Loule for shopping and eating out (Continente on the outskirts is a large hypermarket with free underground car park - nice and cool when you get back to the car to load up) Had a couple of BBQs at the villa so weren't out every night (definitely need kitchen foil if you're cooking on it as the grills are badly rusted - unavoidable with an outdoor facility unless all guests look after the items) Quarteira is nearby on the coast if you like admiring rich people's toys in the marina. It's a more lively place with a good WaterPark All in all a good villa for a holiday My ONLY gripe (and I realise with this type of review I don't get to respond to any comment from the owner (Anne and Stuart)) is that on (literally) the very last minutes of the holiday I had a very heated argument with the villa manager (Alison) which left a bad taste – the reason for 1 Star against 'Communication with the property manager' (Alison) Yes she'd contacted us asking us to be out for 10am on our last day (yep, I read it.. ok we'll be out by then, despite the fact that the Vrbo Booking showed and still shows 11am Check Out). Apparently she phoned me a day or so before our check out as well (came up as an 'unknown number while I was at a noisy restaurant in the evening so I didn't answer) She also WhatsApp'd me on the morning of our departure around about 9am. I'm not a teenager. I don't have my nose permanently pressed on the screen of my mobile phone. I was cleaning the villa before leaving (thorough clean we gave it too - that's what happens when you take a couple of 80yr olds with you on holiday as my mother-in-law would be mortified if the cleaners had to clean) Alison stormed into the villa at 9:45! To say she had a problem with us still being there would be an understatement! Argument ensued. She needs to work on her people skills! Gone by 10 anyway. Will not be back
