The beautiful Ria Formosa!: The Ria Formosa in the Algarve is a beautiful labyrinth of lagoons separated from the sea by a coastal dune system which is broken up by various natural inlets. It is one of the most important nature reserves in the network of wetlands that links Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. The Ria has an enormous variety of natural habitats that provide refuge, feeding and breeding areas for an infinite number of flora and fauna and is a haven for birds. The beaches of the isles of Faro, Barreta, Culatra, Armona and Tavira form a natural barrier to the Ocean. Behind are the dunes, sometimes just a narrow strip and sometimes wider and then come the labyrinth of lagoons and small sand islands and channels. At low tide other salty habitats are uncovered forming marches and salt marshes.

The aircon in the rooms was efficient and welcome. It was delightful to eat all our meals outside baring in mind we had messy children! The barbq was great also. The closeness (walking distance) to the lovely beach, cafe/bar and supermarket was a bonus. In fact the children loved the beach so much, we felt we didn’t need to explore any other beach. Trips out included a wonderful boat trip exploring the caves and a Slide and Splash water park. Communication with Andrew before and during our stay was excellent. With six children under 12, the youngest of whom was 16 months, we appreciated the “homeliness” of the villa and felt entirely relaxed. The authenticity and features of the villa together with the outside areas were much appreciated by us all. ##### Chris H. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian David B.

A wonderful stay thank you and we will be booking again ##### Margaret S. Stayed 9 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth I., London, Canada Mar 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular! This beautiful home is exactly as advertised! We stayed as a multi-generational family of 11 and had plenty of spaces and supplies for everyone. There were plenty of lounge chairs around the pool and the warm temperature of the pool was welcome in March. The beds were comfortable and the number of bathrooms amazing. We walked to the beach and boardwalk daily and ran on the beach. The supermarket, restaurants, butcher and bakery in the village were wonderful. The people were very kind as we tried out our Portuguese. We look forward to returning regularly! ##### Ruth I. Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gerald R.

Once found is easy to locate. There were troubles with the power,it went off a dozen times, electrician came three times before it was repaired,also a pipe broke and had to be replaced so we were without hot water for two days. But saying all that, once Everything was repaired we had a wonderful vacation,location was great and restaurants were terrific. ##### Gerald R.

Jan 18, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location and perfect property for a large group! The Manta Rota location is quite perfect being 40 mins drive from the airport and 10 mins walk to the beautiful white sand beach, passing a great little supermarket on the way. The property is absolutely lovely for a large group with every bedroom comfortable & spacious &living area equally so. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with various quality gadgets and kitchen tools. Both front and rear garden are great spaces where a lot of care and effort is evident. Our family group of children and adults all thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks and have fallen in love with Portugal. ( Great weather too at the beginning of January) Hopefully we can repeat the experience and return in the not too distant future. ##### Alison M.

Just a couple of very small things that prevent a 5 star review. The pool cues needed replacing,there was no chalk and the outside lights in the courtyard did not work. This meant that it was not possible to make proper use of the games advertised on the listing as you could not play in the evenings due to light. ##### Joanne B.

We contacted the owners after day two thinking day one was just an anomaly and they advise that they have never heard of that in 18 years. The pool maintenance person said that there were cats all around the area and the Workers a couple houses down sad cats are wild. Looking from the top balcony, you could see shanty town of animals was really unattractive, and there were groups of cats that I thought during the day. ##### Lori B.
