  'Fantastic Private Villa Holiday' away from the hustle and bustle of the town

  04 Sept 2017

  The owner Carlos was fantastic, he is easily contactable by phone/text and sorts any problem out quickly. The Villa and pool were amazing, we had a super holiday as the pool is a really good size. The pool is waist high at the shallow end and I was out of my depth at the deep end (I am 5'6) It was a gradual slope at the deep end, so the pool was ideal for my 5 year old at the shallow end. The pool was perfectly clean and the water was great too, as it is their own treated spring water. The villa is set in the mountains in a quiet location, so you definitely need a car to get provisions for your stay. The local Lidl was easy to get to for food and drink. There were 4 sun beds and a double bed outside for lounging around the pool and hammocks in the shade. A couple more sun loungers would be good if everyone was around the pool at the same time, but our party of 12 were in and out of the pool at different times of the day, so it wasn't a problem for us. The location of the villa is completely private and it was very tranquil being up in the mountains. The Villa and grounds are a good size and the views are super. We dined outside every evening, as it was still nice and warm and there was good outdoor lighting. Carlos and family are lovely and helpful and were there to greet us on arrival and to take keys when we departed.

  Perfect in every way

  08 Aug 2017

  This was a wonderful villa and perfect for a family stay, you could really tell that Carlos the owner was passionate about his home and great attention to detail.We stayed for a week in July and used it as a base to explore the Algarve, there are shops and restaurants within a short drive and the beach is only about 30 minutes drive.Fabulous pool area, eating spaces and the rooms were very comfortable and spotless.I would definitely visit again, if I was to be over critical the wifi is virtually non existent and maybe there could have been a electrical device to keep the hundreds of fly's out of the kitchen, but that is a problem with the Algarve during the summer.Thanks Carlos for a wonderful experience. carlos barbosa R, Gerente at Villa Monte da Alfarrobeira, responded to this review Thank you for your excellent feedback. It will be a great pleasure to welcome your family back to Monte da Alfarrobeira. We recognize the problems reported. Since the beginning of August we have internet vodafone 4th generation with unlimited traffic. Even during this month we will acquire an equipment kills electric flies because we recognize that this year there were many! Thank you for your constructive comment.Carlos Monte da Alfarrobeira

  Fantastic stay at Monte da Alfarrobeira

  02 Apr 2017

  The property owner (Carlos) was always accessable for any kind of questions or special requests. He was very kind and always on time. The property exceeded our expectations, it was very clean as well as spacious and has a stunning view on the algarve. The kitchen is fully equipped, bed sheets as well as towels are provided and the baths look freshly renovated and were of high quality. We especially liked the pool area, at which you can easily relax even when it's hot outside. Additionally, there is a nice barbecue area outside of the house. All in all, we had a fantastic stay at Monte da Alfarrobeira. The property owner, Carlos, provided us with all information we needed and even gave us suggestions for exploring the algarve.
