Lovely house and very helpful owner

The property is modern, clean and well maintained with very pretty grounds and nice views. The area is very peaceful. It is a drive into Tavira to go out but only around 15 mins.

Overall, quality villa accommodation and highly recommended.

Lovely quiet rural villa

We had a fab time, was a stunning villa in a quiet rural location. The owner was very helpful and responsive - we felt would have been good to be able to message the property management team rather than having to phone them (but were always responsive and helpful) The couple of restaurants and shops within walking distance are quite small, so really need a car to get about. Overall was a lovely villa and we had a lovely time.

Beautiful views, quiet location, clean modern house.

The house was exceptionally clean on our arrival. The view from the property is stunning, day and night. Kitchen fully kitted out with all you could need. Great sized pool and beautiful grounds. We felt very safe and secure behind the electric gates. Aircon worked a treat in the bedrooms at night. Great location for exploring the south coast!

Lovely villa

The villa was one of the best we has ever stayed in. Kerry promptly answered a couple of our initial queries about the villa. It was very clean, the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we need. The gardens were lovely with fruit trees and herbs. The pool was well maintain. We were a party of females and felt safe and secure in the property. The only downside was that there were no sun parasols. Apart from this everything was prefect. We hope to return next year.

Nice, modern house with all amenities

A couple of problems in the week we stayed. but nothing major, both reported and noted, one resolved quickly. Also, and not the owners fault but unless you are a Dog Lover, you need to be aware of incessant local dogs barking 24/7.

We keep coming back!

We have stayed at this beautiful villa for the last three years. Really a home from home. Very well equipped kitchen, clean airy rooms and comfortable beds. The villa ‘s gardens are well tended and secluded. Quaint village within walking distance of villa. We ate at the Bar/restaurant in the village and restaurant just outside the village. The village shop was closed one day so we used the local Cooperative for the first time. It sold a lot of basic requirements including beer and wine! Would recommend Barrrill beach, lovely sandy beach, bit of a walk from car park but there is a little train to use. The communications with Kerry and her Agents was first class as always. We will be returning.

Clogged Sewage

The property, house and garden are very good. However, the only bathroom in the ground floor, serving 2 bedrooms had a clogged loo, resulting from "clogged up" sewage system. The situation was only solved 5 days after us checking in. Needless to say, that this has upset our holidays.

Santao Estavao Stay

The process of booking the villa was easy. Communicated with Kerry’s Agents via email was simple enough. The villa is in an ideal location if you want to check out of the rat race and just relax. You have everything on site to cook and clean with (coming home with 2 days of dirty clothes to clean after 15 days away is a godsend). You have the ability to take the sun all day as pool area faces south. Or you can shade on the veranda. To visit anywhere you need hire car as it is in the country side. Air con is quiet enough not too disturb sleep and keeps cool in the evening. We all loved the stay and didn’t really want to come back!

Second Visit

This is the second year running we have stayed in this lovely villa. Last year one of our group had to cancel at the last moment. So we decided to return this year. She was very impressed with the standard of the villa and the well-tended garden. We like the village with its bar/restaurant and shop. We walked into the village for an evening meal feeling very safe, there is street lighting all the way. Something of a novelty to one of our party. We also ate at Mercearia da Aldeia just out of the village but within walking distance of the villa. Once again the communications with Kerry and her Agents were very good. If only the weather had been a little better especially as there was a heatwave at home! Hope to return some time as Eastern Algarve is our favourite holiday destination.

Heerlijk huis!

Heerlijk huis met alles erop en eraan. Fijn zwembad, prima bedden en een zeer complete keuken. Bij aankomst bleek een van de airco’s kapot, maar deze is redelijk snel gerepareerd. Wij zijn hier 2 weken geweest en na een week werden onze bedden verschoond. Superfijn!

Wonderful stay

Amazing place with all (and more) we could think of. Lovely place, fully furnished and complete for an unforgettable days. The scent of nature, flowers, birds sounds, sky full of stars will not be forgotten. We stayed for 40 nights and we didn’t regret. Owners and rental agency always available, friendly and fast to feedback/reply. Location is on a rural area, 10/15/20 minutes by car from nice beaches, 10 minutes by car from big supermarkets, near by good restaurants. Car is needed, but you will appreciated as we step aside from the crowded places in 10 minutes. Congrats to Kerry and Phil for such a lovely place.

An amazing experience

An amazing house that allow us an amazing experience, exploring all of the five senses: the sound of the silence make us forget the buzzy of Algarve in August, we can smell the aromatic herbs around the garden, feel hot weather and hot water of the pool, taste the perfect gastronomic plates near the village and see the beautiful landscape through the windows! Hope we can come back soon.

A superb holiday location. Most definitely worthy of return visits

The booking process and communication with the owner and agency were faultless throughout...and the property - just ‘wow’. Set in an ideal rural location, the villa exceeded all of my expectations - very clean, homely, spacious and well maintained pool and gardens - herbs, fruit trees and even a few rabbits enjoying the space. The owner has equipped the villa with all the essentials that make it a home from home, so my family and I settled in very quickly. The spacious villa provided options to either bask in the sunshine by the pool and garden, or rest in the shade of the lounge areas inside or out - perfect for a break from the midday sun and a daily gathering spot for family lunches. The property was well suited to our children (18months and above) - a number of toys were even provided.....the beautiful pool had much more appeal so we only spotted these at the end of our stay! The villa is situated only a few minutes from the nearest village, typical Portuguese restaurant and convenience store and just a 10 minute drive into Tavira - a beautiful, unspoilt and authentic town- with a great number of shops, bars and restaurants offering excellent choice of food and local wines. The beaches too are all beautiful and worthy of a visit - only a short drive. My only disappointment is to not have booked the villa for an extra few weeks, but we’re certain of a return visit - just debating whether to tell all of our friends and family about this villa - or to keep this beautiful gem to ourselves :) ....... ....-but Kerry, we’ll of course spread the word and hope others have as enjoyable a holiday and memories that we have made. Thank you

Beautiful villa in lovely setting

Beautiful, well equipped villa in a great rural setting 10 minutes outside of Tavira. Local village of Santo Estevao with bars/restaurants, shop and pharmacy is walkable and has an authentic feel. One of the best villas we've stayed in hence the five star rating. Minor suggestions - a net to clean the pool of leaves and insects would be useful as the maintenance man only visited once during our stay. What would also help would be provision of a set of simple directions to the villa which because of its seclusion is hard to find. Different members of our large party travelled separately. We were met by the Happy Homes rep in Tavira and followed her to the villa, this works fine but we subsequently found it difficult to find our way back in the dark and to give directions to our daughter and grandchildren who were arriving later. We re-contacted the Happy Homes team who helpfully provided directions, they also responded very quickly when the remote control for the front gates failed and also when we needed advice on a local doctor for one of the kids, These minor details and dramas aside we had a fantastic holiday and would highly recommend this property, thanks!!

Our perfect holiday

The villa was absolutely perfect. The setting was beautiful, lush gardens and the pool fabulous. Spotlessly clean and fully kitted out with everything we needed. The remote location gives an insight into the true rural Portugal and is ideal for long walks in the countryside yet still convenient for Tavira which is only a 10 mins taxi ride. We'd definitely recommend this villa and the east Portugal region which has blown us all away, can't wait to return!!
