Guestbook comments from the owner
"An excellent confortable house with lovely pool and excellent barbecue. We very much enjoyed playing on the tennis court. A great area for a holiday within easy reach of Faro airport. The beaches on the islands were beautiful with lovely swimming. Tavira is a lovely town. Olhao is interesting with wonderful markets - especially the fish market which is amazing. Lovely seafood - we recommend "O Livramento" on the front which has lovely, very reasonable food and is very friendly. Some of our party went a few times to Sagres to surf (only an hour and a half's drive). Others went downhill biking and road biking. We all visited Seville - beautiful! - less than two hour's drive. All in all an excellent location for a restful holiday."
"We had a fabulous stay- many thanks for everything. The villa was of a high overall standard and in a very convenient location for Barril, Fuzeta and Tavira."

Stunning Villa with Wonderful Views, Family Holiday to Remember
After spending what felt like weeks looking for the perfect villa near to Tavira I finally came across this one. I instantly new it would be perfect for our family and what we wanted.
Having visited Tavira many times before we wanted something in the area for our family of 7 adults and 2 children (age 1 & 2)
On first impressions the villa is beautiful just outside the villa of Moncarapacho, we initially struggled with the directions (due to a very early start!) but Ian from MARS very kindly came and met us and drove us in. The service from Ian and the team whilst we were out there was second to none.
The Villa is very well kept, clean and modern, it was large and bright- and very quiet. The bedrooms had ample storage and the AC was brilliant. We had the double on the top floor with a balcony and a view of the sea which was just lovely. The villa also benefited from a fantastic terrace, we spent many evenings and nights here sat drinking wine in the sun until 9pm! It really was the WOW factor. Having small children we did have reservations however there is a lockable gate and the balcony is well protected.
The pool itself we paid to be heated which was absolutely worth it! We were all in it everyday, it's a great size and the jacuzzi is a great addition. The tennis court was also a huge highlight and the men spent many a day in competition.
In the evening we visited Fuzeta, Olhao 3 times and Tavira once. Although Tavira is our favourite it was just a bit too far in a taxi. Olhao however was beautiful and we had some fantastic meals out here, and the girls loved the bouncy castles!
I have to say the service from Valter the owner has been exceptional, always answering queries very quickly. We would certainly look to book again in the future but next time for longer!
The only things we did say which would be great to see for next time would be a fridge on the very ground level for drinks so you don't have to keep going upstairs, and also mattresses for some of the plastic sunloungers. These are minor points for what was an incredible family holiday!
Thank you again and we hope to be back again in the future :)
New managment team needed.
Returned after our stay last year and coming a second time it just didnt feel the same.
We was noticing things that needed fixing. Also we was only left with the main front door key which meant that we could not double lock the doors when we went out. The management team used the excuse of "because the doors sweel in the heat sometimes they get stuck and also some prople have lost the keys which are expencise to replace."
The property is nice but does need some TLC as there are lights not working and window shutters broken. The net proveded to get bugs out of the water was broken and only replaced after it broke off the hook however it is the same net from at least a year ago.
Our group will not be returning to the property any more. 2 times is more then enough.
A great house for a family holiday.
The house was brilliant for our family age range-5-67 !
We all enjoyed the facilities, especially the swimming pool and jacuzzi , tennis court and table tennis table .Our Grandaughter loved the radios in the bathroom -as did we! The house is very spacious and kitchen well equipped. We liked the unspoiled countryside around the house and Moncarapcho is an Interesting village with reasonably priced cafes and supermarkets .Tavira ,Fuseta and Olhao authentic Portuguese towns not spoilt by tourism. A car is necessary as advised by The owner. Valter was extremely helpful and responded promptly to any questions .The MARs agents were all very pleasant and helpful .
Thankyou to Valter and to agency staff for making our stay so enjoyable ,
Beautiful villa!
Twelve of us stayed in this great villa. It had everything we wanted. The airport is close and there's lots to do around the area. Although you won't want to leave the villa. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!
Fantastic Villa!
We were 3 families all looking for a relaxing fun holiday and this is certainly what we got! The villa was very modern and spacious, the pool and jacuzzi were well kept and all the kids loved playing in it.
Hannah met us on arrival and was very helpful from the start, any concerns or problems we had she rectified within the day. One of our party was recovering from a recently broken leg and Valtor very kindly bought an excersise bike for the gym to help with his recovery.
Monacarapacho had a very good supermarket and some nice snack bars in the square. We ate at Antonio's a couple of nights and would recommend this to anybody.
This villa has left such a mark on all three families, it exceeded all our expectation and would love to return in the furture.
Fantastic villa in a beautiful location
After searching long and hard for a villa that looked like it had "it" we were not disappointed when we arrived. As our flight was an early one the villa was still being cleaned but we were able to drop our bags and then head out to grab something to eat. This gave us our first glimpse of Olhão (and no its not pronounced as you think it is ) a great fishing port with lovely harbour to walk along. When we returned you would have thought it was Christmas the way the kids were running around 'claiming' bedrooms as their own.
The villa def exceeded my expectations and the tennis court was perfect. Even the teenagers who have only ever played tennis on some form of console were on it every day.
We had a few day trips out whilst there and Slide and Splash is a must for anyone with a family, we also visited the Sand City, again something to be seen. For the more touristy type shops head to Albufeira, although we were not there long, we missed the peacefulness of the villa. Moncarapacho is a great little village, we unfortunately missed the festival happening this week but they have a great market the first Saturday of the month, well worth a visit but have a walk down as it gets very busy. Would also recommend Antonio's restaurant, just lovely
Valter, the owner, i couldnt fault. Really helpful, any questions answered promptly and the amount of information provided was spot on. The management company, again no issues. We had one little issue with the Air con as it tripped one day (11pm), i made a call. They came and sorted it the next day.
All in all a lovely family villa that i would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get away and see a bit of real Portugal and not just a load of shops selling hats and magnets :-) If you get chance, go you wont regret it. Cheers from Lee and what felt like the brady bunch i took with me :-)
Map
Coast/Beach:
A 10 minute drive will bring you to the coastal town of Fuzeta, lying within the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. There is a small beach on the lagoon in the town itself. Take the small ferry across the lagoon (five minutes) and you reach the miles and miles of sand, sun and sea of Isla de Armona. There is a restaurant and facilities where you land. The beach has white sand, clean warm water, and is backed by dunes - one of the very best in Europe. Most of the beach is empty even in peak season.
Travel:
The villa is situated 15Km to the east of Faro airport and car hire is essential. That will enable you to visit a wider variety of the beautiful beaches, a coastal wetlands national park and the many unspoilt towns and villages most with very reasonably priced restaurants in the area.
Distances:
The nearest town is Moncarapacho (5 minutes drive), a charming small town with all the basics: 2 good small supermarkets, market, restaurants, bank, fuel, post office, newspapers and plenty of cafe's.
The large coastal town of Olhão is 15 minutes drive away - a paradise for lovers of fish and sea food. Tavira - the cultural and historic town at the center of the Eastern Algarve - is just 20 minutes drive away.
Further Details:
Olhao is very Portuguese, very Algarvian and very un-touristic. The pedestrian shopping area winds in cobbled streets through the moorish-looking old town to the waterfront with its markets (fruit, veg, meat, deli as well as fish), its cafes’s, parks and sparkling views out over the Ria Formosa lagoons.
