Jun 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Rustic retreat in the hills above Tavira The hosts were lovely, spoke Engish well and were extremely accommodating. The villa was rustic and traditional. It had everything we needed though. The linens were clean, the bathrooms and kitchen were clean. We would’ve liked softer beds and a little more luxury in the pillows, villa amenities, but we understand at this price point and countryside location, this is what you get. The furniture, both indoors and outdoors, along with kitchen equipment, outdoor cooking/eating area, lounge chairs, could all stand an update. The pool was nice, just the right size for two of us. The gardens were wild and lovely, I continue to fight the urge to do weeding, tidying up, cutting back, etc. As a gardener myself can appreciate the amount of work that goes into keeping up with it. The orchard that’s attached provided beautiful fresh citrus, and figs. It’s definitely off the beaten path, and very quiet. You absolutely need a car, which we had. Use the coordinates to get to it instead of directions, as Google and Apple apps had a tough time getting it right. ##### Danielle C. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn W. Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous Villa! Have have just spent a wonderful week in Villa Rosa. The location was perfect. Close to Tavira, yet set in a beautiful, quiet, peaceful and private location. The villa had everything we could possibly need. Plenty of outside space to sit in the sun or shade and the sunbeds were so comfortable. The views were lovely and the sunrise and sunsets were spectacular! We used Uber, but we tended to walk a lot of the time. There are some fabulous trails straight from the doorstep. Camnho Vale Formoso is on All Trails. We saw eagles, storks, vultures, kites, Sparrow Hawk, a Little Owl, Jays to name but a few. We also walked to Tavira following the lovely river and got an Uber back. Despite the walk being mostly on the road, it was straightforward and we were in Tavira in about half an hour. Most would benefit from a car, however, we like to walk and enjoy a nice meal and a bottle of wine in the evening, therefore we loved having the quiet space of the villa but being close enough to enjoy Tavira too. The ferry to Tavira Island was cheap and so worth it. The beach is lovely there with some great restaurants. We have absolutely loved our stay. Dina is the perfect host. Great communication and she was so helpful and kind. Nothing was too much trouble. We can’t recommend this villa enough. Thank you Dina. ##### Glenn W.

The whole family enjoyed the setting and the peacefulness of the area. Everything we needed was already there and catered for. Having our own swimming pool, gardens, barbecue, etc. made the holiday so laid back but also so hard to leave :) Location: Villa Rosa is a lovely house located in the countryside yet so close to Tavira. The road to it is almost private so no traffic or noise pollution. It's very peaceful and you can watch the stars when the sky is clear. Having a car is essential but even though the location is very rural, it's only about 8 minutes drive to the nearest supermarket and probably around 15-20 minutes drive to the nearest beach. 45 minutes to the Faro airport. Outside: Both the villa and the gardens are well maintained and looked after so the first thing we noticed upon arrival was all the greenery and the variety of trees, shrubs and flowers. The whole estate is surrounded by rocks and trees so you get absolute privacy. There are many orange trees with lots of juicy oranges so you can make your own fresh orange juice any time of the day. While the gardens are huge and open there is also plenty of shade around the house or the swimming pool so you can sit outside and enjoy your food or a glass of wine any time of the day. The swimming pool was nice and clean so both ourselves and the children enjoyed it. The outdoor barbecue was also a huge plus. Inside: The villa is beautifully decorated throughout and it has this real warm 'homely' feel to it. Everything was nice and clean when we arrived. It has all the appliances (and more) we needed to make our life easier and our stay more comfortable. The bedrooms and the living room are air-conditioned and the windows have mosquito nets. There is a TV with lots of channels which we barely used but the having the WiFi internet was definitely a plus. All the essentials (towels, linen, washing up liquid, toilet roll, soap, etc.) were provided so nothing to worry about on the first day. The villa is also equipped with a house alarm and remote-controlled gate for extra security. ##### Peter H. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### FRANCISCO JOSE S.

Peaceful and quiet but with easy, quick access to Tavira. Everything we needed at the villa to relax and recharge our batteries. The villa is very comfortable with lovely outdoor space and a nice pool. Dina was amazingly kind and helpful and responded quickly when we needed advice and patient when we locked ourselves out of the villa!! We have had a wonderful holiday. We very much hope to visit again next year. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 28 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan T.

Jetzt im April blühten viele Blumen und wir konnten frisch gepflückte Orangen aus dem Garten genießen. Es ist sehr ruhig ausserhalb des Ortes Tavira gelegen mit einem wunderbaren Blick über Plantagen. Im Garten und auf der Terasse gibt es liebevoll eingerichtete und dekorierte Sitzgelegenheiten.Die Küche ist vollständig ausgerüstet inclusive Backofen und Tiefkühlschrank und war gut zu benutzen.Im April stand für uns der Strandurlaub nicht im Vordergrund, aber wir sind viel gewandert und haben kleine und größere Orte der Umgebung erkundet. Tavira ist ein bezauberndes Städtchen, dass zum Bummeln und Schlemmen einlädt. ##### Thomas W.
