Super relaxing stay with view to die for!

Enjoyed a wonderful 1-week stay in this quiet villa which really does have a view to die for ... all the way down to the sea and Faro! Great location to get away from it all but also easy to get to supermarket in Sao Bras and to the coast. Great size pool and very well equipped villa. Enjoyed many evenings in the conservatory watching the view to Faro change as night set in ... quite magical with all the lights after sundown. Would definitely return any time! Special thanks to the kind and helpful hosts!

Stunning, wonderful, spectacular

Such a delightful place. Up in the hills, away from it all. Amazing views. Quiet and relaxing. You certainly need a car - but it was fun and easy to get to discover the area. Problem is finding a reason to ever drag yourself away from the villa and the pool. We will be going back for more! Big thanks to Laura and Ricardo.

Amazing villa with beautiful views.

Hi Laura, Ricardo Thank you for letting us stay in your amazing home. We had such a great time and hope to return one day. We found the area a perfect get away and could not have found a better location to stay. Your villa was tidy and very comfortable and was well equipt for a self catering vacation. The views from the pool and Sun room were just fantastic. Kind regards Aaron, Kate, Ila and Jabob

Lovely villa in a beautiful location.

Can recommend to any one who plans to visit the Algarve but wants to avoid the over crowding of the coastal resorts. That said only 20 minutes from the airport, but it feels a lot further away. Laura was very helpful and efficient. We are already planning our return, which says it all...

Fantastic

We were met by Ricardo at the airport and escorted to the villa about 20 minutes from the airport. The Casa is situated in the countryside on a hillside with other villas in the proximity but not estate style, so the feeling is being private but not remote. The villa is spacious and very well furnished and has everything for a perfect holiday. The description is accurate. The pool area is spectacular and views wonderful. We stayed as a couple but it is equally suitable for families or groups of friends, but if you're looking for somewhere close to restaurants and bars maybe not so convenient. All in all a fabulous villa with exceptionally friendly and lovely hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Laura

Ricardo is 50 something, and Laura is 40 something. Both Portuguese. He was born and grew up in Lisbon, but Laura is a true Algarvian. We love to host people. Show around, explain things, satisfy the healthy curiosity of our guests.

Why they chose this property

One day we woke up and decided too many people were building around us and the area was becoming too crowded. So we decided to sell our previous villa. It was official: we were looking for a new home. And when the phone rang and a real estate agent said she had exactly what we were looking for, we accepted to visit still another property. That was the day when we came to Casa do Sonho for the first time. Its location was a bit out of the way for us. But the views were so good... and the building quality... and the fine swimming-pool... we just couldn't resist. We bought the place. We had happy years there. The community is great, and especially during the Summer, when everybody comes to their villas, the atmosphere is unbelievable.

What makes this property unique

The project villa Casa do Sonho didn't start life as a commercial enterprise. We didn’t build this villa with the intention of renting it out. It was our home until we decided it was a little too far for our normal active working lives. We moved to Vilamoura and decided that we would rent out the Casa do Sonho villa to help us with our new property expenses. So, what does this mean to you? Simply put, it means that you will find a real home here, instead of a poorly furnished villa designed for maximum profit.. We look forward to welcoming you and enabling the Casa do Sonho to become your home for a well-deserved, comfortable and memorable vacation. But to be honest, I think our guests opinion must be taken. We kindly suggest you to read our testimonials in our own website.
