A perfect villa
The villa was perfect and had everything you could need for your stay . Humberto was always so helpful if you needed anything . The only thing that concerned us was the path up to the villa ( our sat nav called it unpaved road ) we had hired a new car and lumps in the road made it hard to drive down . I would happily stay there again as the pool and villa are amazing . ( just not bring a new hired car )

Rest and relaxation
The bungalow and its grounds were spacious, well equipped for the heat, with options to have shade - very necessary when it was 33C! The pool was fantastic! We self-catered the whole of our stay - so found the kitchen to be very well equipped. Comfortable beds, sofas etc, with plenty of spare cushions, towels etc. The owner's father responded quickly to any queries we had. All in all, a lovely holiday! Thankyou, Humberto!

Pleasant in the Algarve
Lovely villa , clean and well equipped. Quite spacious. The fittings are of a good quality and all you need is provided. There are two minor issues - there is a rough track of 300 metres approx to the property so do not have low profile tyres! and if you live in a quiet area you may find the nearby road a little intrusive in the daytime.We also had a bed issue but we are sure that will be solved quickly as the owner and his parents are charming people to deal with.

Excellent stay at the House of Almonds
There were 2 of us staying and the villa was perfect, although a 2nd bedroom is available. We enjoy isolation and this is exactly that, although Quelfes is within walking distance. However apart from a small supermarket and church there is not much there. Olhao is not far (less than 10 min by road) and access to the N125 to get to the beaches at Fuzeta and Travia is very simple and close. The villa is very clean, well maintained with a lovely veranda and separate pool area, with jacuzzi. Highly recommend this property.

Cadre isolé sans être au bout du monde
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le côté "isolés", tout en étant près d'Olhao pour "l'approvisionnement". Le logement est très agréable, et la communication avec Umberto et Ruth, malgré la barrière de la langue, c'est très bien passé grâce à la bonne volonté de chacun. Nous avons eu juste deux petits désagréments pour lesquels personne n'y peut rien malheureusement. Tout d'abord quelques nuisances nocturnes en raisons d'aboiement de chiens, ensuite bien que le wifi fonctionne très bien, le réseau internet est très aléatoire. Tout cela n'est pas vraiment un problème en soit, mais pour certains autres voyageurs il peut être intéressant de le savoir. Nous sommes malgré tout très satisfait de notre séjour, et envisageons déjà peut être d'y retourner.

Estancia agradable
La casa es cómoda y estaba limpia y bastante bien equipada. La piscina era muy grande y se preocuparon de que estuviera limpia a nuestra llegada. Como parte negativa, en mi opinión, está muy apartada del núcleo urbano, en una zona muy poco poblada, aunque tiene sistema de alarma. Y en los setos de alrededor de la piscina vimos alguna rata que no se asustaba mucho aunque estuviéramos bañándonos

Ferienhaus Olhao, Quelfes
Eine schönes Haus umgeben von Mandelbäumen mit einem großen Pool, es fehlte uns an nichts, netter Kontakt mit dem Vermieter. Allerdings für 2 Paare nur bedingt geeignet da der zweite Schlafraum eher für Kinder geeignet ist, Etagenbetten und ein Ausziehbett. Wir haben uns dennoch sehr wohl gefühlt 😁😁

Très agréable séjour passé dans cette location
L'emplacement de ce logement est parfait pour découvrir l'Algarve. A 1h de Lagos, 1h30 de Sagrēs, 40 mn de Tavira nous avons pu visiter tous les jours un endroit différent. La proximité de la Nationale n'est absolument pas gênant. Vous entendrez seulement les aboiements des chiens voisins en tendant l'oreille. Le logement est parfaitement équipé et spacieux. La piscine est très agréable et sans vis à vis. ( nous n'avons juste pas réussi à l'allumer lors d'un bain du soir) Nous recommandons cette location.

ESTANCIA PERFECTA
Han sido unas maravillosas vacaciones en parte gracias a esta casa que nos ha enamorado. Todo en ella ha resultado excelente, en primer lugar quiero mencionar la hospitalidad de Humberto, nuestro anfitrión, ha sido súper amable y la comunicación con él excelente, ha estado pendiente en todo momento de nuestras necesidades. La casa nos ha encantado, no le faltaba de nada, todo tipo de menaje de cocina, baño y textiles para la cama. Todo muy limpio. Nos ha encantado la ubicación en una zona alejada y tranquila pero a 5 minutos de Olhao, una localidad grande con mercado, muchos restaurantes, comercios y mucho encanto. La piscina estupenda también y la terraza. Todo lo que puedo comentar es de diez. Hemos estado super a gusto. Volveríamos a repetir sin duda.

Familiär und persönlich
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt von 10 Tagen in diesem ruhigen und gepflegten Ferienhaus. Bei zeitweise kalten Temperaturen haben wir den Holzofen lieben gelernt. Es war alles tip top sauber. Die Küche ist im Großen und Ganzen gut ausgestattet, sodass wir fast ausschließlich selbst gekocht bzw gegrillt haben. Für unseren Aufenthalt mit Kleinkind war ein Hochstuhl verfügbar. Besonders liebevoll fanden wir, dass uns der Vermieter extra einen Eimer mit orangen aus seinem Garten vorbeigebracht hat. Alles in allem eine sehr schöne Erfahrung und bedingungslos weiterzuempfehlen!

Nice pool.
The property has a very nice and private pool which is great for the kids. The house, especially the kitchen is well equiped and the hosts are very nice and alleays available. On the downside you have a second bedroom with a draw-out bed thats very small and uncomfortable, bright white streetlights that spoil any starwatching from the porch, as well as nearby main roads that - at least during the day - provide a constant background noise.
