In the winter there are electric blankets for the beds and a wood-burning stove for which logs are supplied. Maid service is on Monday,and Thursday for three hours each day. Market research has encouraged us to change from a daily maid service to two days per week as guests apparently prefer to maximise their privacy. However, if guests prefer a daily maid service it can be provided at no extra cost. Telephone and e-mail facilities are available at the owners house which is conveniently nearby but entirely separate from Casa Escondida. Bedrooms and lounge are equipped with ceiling fans. There is a full size badminton court in the garden. The Casa Escondida Book which you will find in the house,gives details and instructions on daytrips and how to get around central Algarve

12th July-26th July 2007. Had a lovely holiday. Villa superb....website doesn't do it justice. John always on hand but never intrusive...could not have been more hospitable or helpful. Accommodation and pool spotless. Two weeks not enough...we'll just need to come back !! The Thomsons, South Queensbury, Scotland. 5July 2007. We have been here for three weeks. What a smashing house and garden. Had a wonderful time and will definitely be back !! Gus and Sue Petrie, Dundee Scotland, Loved the villa. It was lovely to be greeted with such a warm welcome even though we arrived late at night!! John and Anna Brookfield 21st-27th October 2005. A lovely holiday..very relaxing. The description of Casa Escondida on the web does not do justice to the reality. A very warm welcome awaits you at Casa Escondida......everything you need....just bring yourself !! Something to look forward top next year when we have booked for a month

A sunny week at a perfect villa

Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We have just got back home from a brilliant week at Casa Escondida - what a find! It is just perfect; clean, quiet, well equipped, excellently maintained and just the perfect place to spend a relaxing holiday. My 2 boys, aged 9 and 6, loved the pool, which was the cleanest and most well maintained pool we have ever had. We have visited the area before and completely fallen in love with it and finding this villa has meant that we are planning to go back again next year - for 3 weeks this time though, as 1 week just flew past. I can't recommend this place strongly enough, I shall be passing on the details to all family and friends.

Review Submitted: September 7, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We enjoyed the villa in June 2009 very much. Private but not to isolated and John was on hand if you needed any help or advice. The salt water pool was lovely spent a lot of time in it. The villa had everything we wanted and spotless. The welcoming pack was more than expected, along with white and red wine. John has thought of everything. We enjoyed it so much we have booked again for next june.

This villa is a true home from home, everything has been thought of for your comfort. You arrive to a welcome from John who is ever helpful throughout your stay but not intrusive. He provides an excellent services for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. The welcome pack is well thought out to see you through until you get to the shops.
I would recommend Casa Escondida to anyone,this was our second stay and you haven't seen the last of us John.

We have just had a most wonderful relaxing holiday at Casa Escondida, John and Rogelia looked after everything really well. We were made to feel very welcome, a lovely clean bright villa in a lovely area, it was a fantastic way to spend our Ruby wedding anniversary. Great for people of all ages we shall be returning without doubt.
