"Great breakfast "

"Beautiful oasis in the heart of the Alentejo countryside with a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the hills. Nice room, very cozy. Unpaved road leading to the resort which is manageable for the experienced driver. Much of the estate is still under construction. Fun hiking trail that was difficult to access. Property offers free use of their bikes, however all the tires need to be filled. Had an excellent meal a short drive away in Orique. Recommend this to adventure and nature lovers who want to feed the conquistador within. "

"What an idyll in the middle of nowhere seemingly. Perfect for a quiet and relaxing get away from it all holiday. Perched on its own hill this accommodation looks over the surrounding area onto olive groves, sheep and to Ourique in the distance. But this doesn’t mean there is nothing to do. Ourique, a 10 -15 minute drive away has supermarkets and restaurants and the coast, with less crowded beaches than the Algarve, is only 45 minutes west (by car). The accommodation is wonderful with a kitchen that has every utensil you might need, three large double bedrooms (two with aircon - which we did need at times as the thermometer topped into the 40s) and a comfortable lounge and mezzanine. Outside the kidney shaped pool was clean and very refreshing and the surrounding poolside had beds for all to relax on. The hosts appeared twice a week to clean the pool so it was always delightful. Bikes are available for use and a table tennis table. Clear skies at night to watch the Milky Way and shooting stars. What a great break. Wonderful helpful owners with useful suggestions for restaurants and places to visit."

"We have just returned from a wonderful two-week stay at Martin’s villa, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt instantly relaxed and at home. The villa is spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a perfect holiday.The outdoor space is fantastic – the pool is a real highlight and provided endless fun and relaxation throughout our stay. There are plenty of areas to sit and unwind, whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee, a family meal, or an evening drink watching the sunset.Inside, the villa is spacious, rustic, and extremely comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook at home, and the living spaces are ideal for both relaxing and spending time together as a family. The bedrooms are very comfortable, with plenty of storage, and everyone slept really well.The location is excellent too – peaceful and private, yet only a short drive from local shops, restaurants. It gave us the best of both worlds: total relaxation and easy access to explore the surrounding area.Most importantly, Martin was a wonderful host. Communication was excellent from the moment we booked, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better holiday. We left with amazing memories and have already booked for 3 weeks next year!"

"Very beautiful place, comfortable villa, all necessary instructions for check-in were received in correct and timely manner"

"Perfect quiet location, serene and a wonderful change from the Algarve where we have a house. We enjoyed the house, the pool and exploring the area. Santa Clara Dam, canoeing on the Mira River in Odemira. Beaching in Milfontes and Porto Covo : all recommended and easy to get to. So beautiful driving around among the olive and cork trees ! Would certainly return. "

"Negatives:Towels, bedding and outside furniture are dated (one leg fell off the outside table every time it was moved). The shower curtain needs replacing. Pans, crockery and cutlery need a good clean (we cleaned sufficient for our needs and left those items clean). With a few small updates and a bit of cleaning, this would be a great place to stay.Positives:Marten is a nice fellow and quick with his communication replies and lives close by. The location is great if you want peace and quiet, privacy and great views. It's about 1.5km from Garvao which has some facilities and only around 12km from Ourique with its supermarkets and greater choice of restaurants and bars.The ceiling fan was a bonus in the scorching weather we had.The pool is good for a proper swim (it's about 10m long).Good wifi signal and mobile phone reception.Advisory.The villa is accessible via rough, stony and dusty tracks. We found access a little easier from the southern side of Garvao."

"The house has everything needed for a calm quiet stay"
