Surrounding gardens are filled with many tranquil plants and bamboo trees, as well as almond, fig and plum trees, you also have a large double B.B.Q which is set under a grand Oak tree which sets those warm summer evenings even more pleasable. Wooden decking is outside the cottage with Gazebo with lights and candles for the warm evenings and even wonderful sunshine mornings.

    A CHQ of 100.00 pounds is required on arrival and would be returned to yourselves at end of your stay providing no breakages or damage to cottage.

Review Submitted: January 4, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2007
Stayed in this cottage a few times now - just love it.
Nothing is too much trouble for John and Yvette they both make you feel very welcome or on other hand are very discreet if it is privacy you are looking for. The pool area and gardens are lovely and are very private. The town of Sao Bras is just 10 mins walk away. Have already booked weekend in February 2008 and looking forward to seeing John Yvette and Carlos (thats the dog). Would definitely recommend this property as it has everything you need for
a relaxing holiday and as a base for exploring the area.

Total Relaxation

Review Submitted: October 15, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
I really enjoyed staying here it is perfect for total relaxation.
The cottage was lovely and clean and John & Yvette have thought of everything you may need for your stay.
The pool and grounds are exactly what we wanted.
The local restaurants are only a ten minute walk and there is a good variety to choose from at very reasonable prices too.
John & Yvette are fantastic hosts and I would definately return.

Review Submitted: August 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The cottage, gardens and wonderful pool area were exactly as described in the information, John and Yvette were so kind and helpful to us throughout our stay, the cottage was spotlessly clean and the pool was absolutely fantastic - we enjoyed our stroll through the beautiful gardens to arrive at our little piece of 'away from it all' heaven. We walked ten minutes into the town every evening to eat at one of the several restaurants available - they were all extremely good value. We would recommend the cottage to anyone wanting a restful holiday yet within easy travelling distance to explore the Algarve by car.

Idyllic

Rebecca and Sean Kettering, Northamptonshire, England
Review Submitted: July 7, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My Girlfriend and I were looking for a perfect getaway and boy did we find it! Beautiful cottage with stunning gardens and a private pool! What more could you ask for?

The town of Sao Bras is a few minutes walk and has everything you could possibly need. Including the now world famous Chicken Luis! An absolute must!

We instantly fell in love with it and with our hosts too. Yvette and John made our holiday even better that we hoped it would be. We cannot recommend it enough and could not have asked for more welcoming or selfless hosts or a more beautiful place to stay.

We cannot wait to come back. Thank you both again. x

Perfect XXX

Andrew & Jenny Bristol
Review Submitted: July 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The title said it all. This is the 3rd time we have stayed in John & Yvettes cottage so that should say it all. The setting is perfect, the property is excellent and with its extensive gardens and fantastic pool you really could not stay anywhere better. John & Yvette could not make it anymore comfortable, they really have thought of everything to make your stay as peaceful and relaxing as possible. The walk to the local shops and restaurants is 10 minutes (and I am a slow walker). The swimming pool and gardens are fantastic which is why we keep going back. Thank you John & Yvette for creating this peice of heaven. xx
