Guestbook comments from the manager
Location wasn't easy to find but upon arrival the panoramic view of middle algarve taken from the balcony made all the effort of navigating there worth while. Hosts are caring, giving all the nice little touch to make us feel comfortable. Laura has even made a packed lunch for our little Brendan to enjoy on our trip!
Wife left behind an important necklace and David and Laura found it and would arrange its delivery back to UK! The loveliest couple/hosts ever.

Wonderful sea views in a tranquil setting
On nutritional matters our host was extremely knowledgable and made a special effort in providing different breakfast combinations.
We really appreciated the care our host put in to make our stay so enjoyable. We would recommend this venue to those seeking a relaxed approach to life and look forward to booking next year.
A little piece of heaven
Recently spent almost two weeks at Garden of Eden. The place was difficult to find but well worth it once you were there. The apartment was well equipped and comfortable and the views from the terrace were spectacular (the night sky and sunsets were beautiful). The surrounding countryside is very pretty and peaceful - really nice to stroll around in the evening. Loule is a lovely town and not far away by car, it's also very central for anyone wanting to investigate both west and east. David is a great host - he has a good knowledge of Portugal and health, which made many an interesting conversation. His breakfasts were fantastic and he went out of his way to offer different local products for us to taste. Would not hesitate to stay again at Casa Chameleo if the opportunity arose. Cannot possibly end the review without mention of Ollie, Boo Boo and the cats - what wonderful pets - if only I could have stuffed Boo Boo into my suitcase!!
Location sympa sur les hauteurs de Loulé
Pour une première au Portugal, nous avons été emballés !!
La location avec piscine se trouve sur les hauteurs de Loulé avec une vue magnifique sur l’océan.
David, le propriétaire est très sympa. Ce dernier nous a donner nombre de bonnes adresses, d’indications afin d’améliorer notre séjour.
Nous reviendrons sans hésiter dans cette magnifique région.

Reposant...
Endroit difficile à trouver...La propriété se trouve à l'extérieur de Loulé (avant de partir demander des précisions car personne ne connaît cette adresse...).
Manque un évier dans la cuisine.
Le propriétaire est très sympathique mais ne parle pas français.
Petit déjeuner copieux.
Manque d'entretien de la propriété...
pas content des prestations vendus
la location était pas entretenu et limite négligée, les animaux des propriétaires rentrent dans l appartement loué, les tapis étaient sales la 2e chambre est placée en haut d un escalier correspondant à l'appartement des propriétaires, l'accés étant "fermé" avec un paravent, les enfants entendent la télé et les conversations des propriétaires, de plus il n'y a pas de machine à laver comme indiquer sur la publicité du site, je ne recommanderais pas cette location.je suis deçue par les photos qui ne ressemblent pas vraiment à la réalité...
