Will definitely stay here again!!

I stayed at this property for 2 weeks with my parents whilst we were visiting family nearby. It was a perfect size for the 3 of us and loved having a pool. It was also fantastic that there was air conditioning in the bedrooms. I have nothing negative to say about this property and will definitely stay here again!!

Perfect setting for a wonderful holiday

A beautiful peaceful retreat in the Portugese country side, a lovely refreshing small pool, comfortable furnished and decorated. A few nice welcome touches like a fresh bar of soap, bottle of wine etc. A short walk to a local bar and a short drive to plenty of restaurants. Would definitely return.

Firstly, William is an absolute delight as a host. We found ourselves nearby a little early and having mentioned it to him, he was happy for us to check in straight away - a great start to any holiday! There was a lovely "care-pack" of bread, butter cheese and wine.The house was immaculate and ideal for us (a couple). The small kitchen was very well stocked and we were able to cook a number of times. The dishwasher took care of the rest!The bed was superbly comfortable and the layout of the house (shaded from the east) meant that we overslept a couple of times as it was so pleasantly cool in the bedroom.The pool was a little cold, but what do you expect in May, although it did warm up toward the end of our week. It was lovely and refreshing anyway.The place is a bit isolated and it's fair to say that you really do need a car, but there is ample private parking and a secure gate to keep your vehicle safe.That said, there is a bar about 5 minutes walk away which was lively enough when we visited and while the staff weren't great at English, once we had worked out it was bar service only (not table), we got on famously and it was preposterously good value.All in all, Casa Poente offered everything it advertised in spades, and with such a charming host in William, if we are ever coming back this way, we would definitely look this place up again. 10/10!

Sehr ruhig und privat

Sehr ruhig und privat in schöner Landschaft gelegen. Das Haus und speziell die Küche war mit allem notwendigen für einen entspannten Urlaub ausgestattet. Ein Highlight war der Pool, angenehm temperiert auch zu später Stunde. Der Außenbereich ist zwar etwas in die Jahre gekommen, was aber auch seinen Charme hatte. Die Lage erfordert jedoch ein Auto, was aber auch den Vorteil hat dass man viele Sehenswürdigkeiten und Geschäfte in kürzester Zeit erreichen kann. Wir würden auf jeden Fall gerne wieder kommen.

Nettes kleines Häuschen, leider durchgelegene Matratzen

Wir sind spät nachts angekommen und haben uns sehr über einen Laib Brot, eine gute Flasche Wein und einen Käse als Empfang in der Küche gefreut. Das war wirklich toll! Im Häuschen ist alles, was man braucht, sehr zum Wohlfühlen, leider sind die Matratzen in allen Betten durchgelegen. Das war nachts schon sehr unangenehm. Durch einen Buchungsfehler wollten wir einen Tag verlängern und hatten den Vermieter auch gefragt, später auschecken zu können, da unser Flug spät ging. Er war mit beidem einverstanden, da es keine Anschlussvermietung gab. Als er von uns jedoch für die eine Nacht fast 30 % mehr Geld verlangte, als für die anderen Nächte zuvor, haben wir doch nicht verlängert und waren darüber recht enttäuscht.

Traumhafter Ort zum Durchatmen

Wir waren 12 Tage im Haus und haben jeden einzelnen genossen! Ausser dem Anbau/Haupthaus (hinter hoher Mauer) gibt es keine direkten Nachbarn und man ist ganz für sich. Der Außenbereich ist durch mehrere Terrassen (u.a. mit Überdachung) und Pool einfach traumhaft, genauso wie der Blick in die Landschaft (Felder, Berge). Das Haus ist innen sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und mit Waschmaschine, Geschirrspüler Backofen, Orangensaftpresse sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder!!

Die Kommunikation vor Ort mit Christoffer läuft super...er weiß wo gute Strände und gute Restaurants sind. Fahrt zu Städten wie Tavira oder Loule immer so zwischen 15 - 30 Minuten. Wir kommen wieder.

Wunderschönes, gepflegtes Haus in toller Lage!

Das Haus befindet sich in einem guten Zustand, es ist sehr sauber und die Einrichtung ist nicht nur zweckmäßig, sondern auch sehr schön. Die Aussicht ist wirklich ein Traum und es ist sehr ruhig, da es doch etwas abgelegen liegt. Auto unbedingt erforderlich, es fahren dort keine öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel! Mit dem Auto ist man aber in 20-30 Minuten am Strand, in Faro, Loulé,... Wir waren mit unserem Sohn (11 Monate) dort und der Vermieter William hat schon im Vorfeld gefragt, was wir für ihn benötigen, sodass wir bei unserer Ankunft sogar einen Hochstuhl und ein Babybettchen vorfanden. William war auch während des ganzen Aufenthalts als Ansprechpartner für uns da und war sehr zuvorkommend. Vielen Dank für alles, wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und hatten einen tollen Urlaub!

Wunderschönes Haus mit kleinem Pool in nicht einsehbarem Grundstück

Das Haus bietet Platz für 2 - 4 Personen. Es gibt eine Küche mit Waschmaschine und Geschirrspüler. Ein Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbett, ein Studierzimmer mit Ausziehbett (sehr bequem) ein Wohn-Ess-Zimmer, ein Bad mit Toilette und einen herrlichen Freisitz unter einer Pergola mit wunderschönem Blick in die Landschaft. Es liegt absolut ruhig und fernab von größeren Strassen. Trotzdem ist man innerhalb von 30 Minuten in Faro oder an einem Strand. Das Haus ist frisch renoviert und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen und können es weiterempfehlen. Wir bedanken uns auch bei dem Vermieter William und bei Christoffer, der uns vor Ort betreut hat und dafür sorgte, daß alle unsere Wünsche erfüllt wurden.
