About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cottage With large Pool In Beautiful Countryside, fabulous gardens. Nr Loule.

Lemon-tree-cottage is located in the quiet hamlet of Corcitos just 2 km from the pretty village of Querença with its beautiful XIV century church, bar and restaurants and just 3Km from the new (2023) 18 hole Ombria golf resort . A tranquil haven away from the pressures of hectic modern-day life and yet, it is close to everything that you need (banks, supermarkets, pharmacies etc. in Loule). Corcitos is just 25~30 minutes easy drive from Faro airport and beaches and is ideally located to explore the whole Algarve. A day-trip into the Alentejo or Spain is easily achieved as Corcitos is well connected to the key roads. For those who want to enjoy country walks Lemon Tree Cottage is ideally placed. The track to the Fonte de Benemola passes within 30m the entrance to Lemon Tree Cottage. Walkers and birdwatchers on a 2 week stay can find a different walk every day without repetition.
The Cottage is located within fully fenced grounds of about 1.5 acres with entrance via remote control electronic gates. There are plenty of seating areas around the pool terrace and gardens to enjoy the sun or shade.
The orchard provides a variety of fruit (Orange, Lemon, Apricot, Plums, Pomegranate and Figs) which you can help yourself to when in season.

The pool is 12 x 5m and mildly saline, with about the same salinity of a tear drop. The pool was fully refurbished and re-tiled in Spring 2021 and has a maximum water depth of 1.40m. Pool chemicals are kept to a minimum. The swimming pool is solar heated and shared with the owners. The pool is located in the heart of the property, overlooking superb views and with shade available.

An outdoor rattan sofa set, and swing seat are available in partially shaded locations near the cottage to provide cooler spots for guests to enjoy. A gas BBQ is available.

WiFi and the main UK TV stations are available plus a selection of DVD's and books.

The cottage is fully air conditioned at no extra cost.

GREEN Credentials: Recycling bins for paper, plastic, glass and metal are provided in the cottage as are reusable shopping bags. A 16 unit solar tracking array generating 3.2Kw/hr and a further 14 unit solar array (providing a further 4.2Kw/hr) for the pool pump help us to keep energy neutral.

Lemon Tree Cottage sits in the grounds of the owners home. Guests are welcome to enjoy the gardens at any time.

Fabulous
We had a wonderful stay - Lemon Tree Cottage is a perfect base for exploring this beautiful area. Trevor and Alicia are fantastic hosts and provided everything we could possibly need for our holiday - from towels for the pool to deck chairs and beach umbrellas and even a cool box for picnics. They live on site so are nearby to sort out any issues - particularly useful if you lock yourselves out on the first day, as we did! (Tip - take the keys outside with you so you can always get back in). The cottage is beautiful (excellent air con) and the huge pool was an instant hit with us all. Fabulous gardens and the view is breathtaking. (Tip - bring insect repellent for the evenings). Situated in the hills and a bit 'out of the way', the area is very quiet and you will need a car - we found driving very easy and safe - everyone seems very friendly and courteous on the roads. We enjoyed visiting the town of Loule and the harbour at Vilamoura and highly recommend a guided kayak tour around the costal caves at Benagil. We travelled with 2 teenage sons and they enjoyed the pool and chilling on the sunbeds. For bright lights and excitement we visited Albufeira which thankfully has an escalator down to the beach! The boys were happy to enjoy a burger and watch football on the massive screens! Overall, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lemon Tree Cottage. Thank you Trevor and Alicia.

The Swimming Pool
We loved the Lemon Cottage, it was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to spend our days by the pool and go village exploring at the end of the afternoon. We did just that and loved it. The fig tree provided us with daily fig amazing luxury every day. The pool is heated and super beautiful and clean, lots of towels for our 15 days stay. The only little problem was the internet, there is no internet or smart TV in the Cottage. We used our own smart phones as hotspots for internet.

Gorgeous relaxing place
Lemon Tree Cottage is a perfect place to relax in a beautiful setting whilst in fairly easy reach by car of the main Algarve attractions. The pool area and garden are an oasis of tranquillity - the pool itself was a decent size for a grown up family of four. There are no shops particularly nearby so you have to be organised but we didn't find that a problem. The inside of the property has everything you need and we spent virtually all waking hours outside anyway. Trevor and Alicja were extremely friendly and helpful and respect your space at all times while obviously needing to undertake basic pool maintenance. Would recommend this property unreservedly.

A great place to relax and slow down. A getaway from the busy life you live!
If you want lovely walks, challenging cycle rides, clear night skies, lovely country views, silence, wonderful hosts, large swimming pool, lovely accommodation then this is a place you should seriously consider. Only 35 mins away from Faro airport and the coastal ports and beaches, you can have the best of both. It's the 3rd time we have been to Lemon tree cottage.

Very cosy cottage with all amenities
Great place to stay for walking, touring and only 25 minutes from the coast away from the tourists! Near lovely market town of Loulé where we went to the big Carnival last Sunday. My wife and I will definitely come again in the future.

Nice property but not private.
We booked this property after reading the description on HomeAway, it seemed great, idyllic to be precise. When we are on holiday, we look for privacy so that if we don't want to talk to anyone, we don't have to. We also like to sunbathe and swim in private. We like to get the keys, kick back and be left totally alone. Viewing the images the property looks lovely and indeed it is. The property is in a secluded location, it is peaceful and tranquil. It has everything you need for a quiet holiday. BUT, this property is NOT PRIVATE. What is not disclosed, is that it is within the grounds of the owners property, and they are resident permanently. The pool is NOT PRIVATE, it is shared with the owners. When you look out from the property, the owners house is to the left of the pool, their kitchen door opens out onto the pool, their landing window looks out over the pool. The owner takes the cover off the pool at 9.00am and puts it back on at 9.00pm. This makes private sunbathing and swimming impossible. WIFI is available, but is not reliable, it is unavailable quite often, we are led to believe this is common in the Algarve. Mobile phone signal is variable too. So if you need to be available while away, be aware. There are a lot of rules laid out all around the villa, on doors, in kitchen, in bathroom, in the guide folder. It feels like you are being supervised... There was a thunder storm while we were out one day, we returned to find the cushions from the garden furniture in our villa. This may seem OK... but really it is not. The owner can gain entry to the property when they want. If in an hotel or B&B this would be acceptable, but in a private villa it really is not and I would question whether it is breaking rental law. Had we known this at the time of booking, we would not have chosen this villa. We paid a high premium for what we thought was a private accommodation. This aside, the villa is in a beautiful location, in quiet countryside, where you can experience the Algarve away from high tourist locations. The owners are very pleasant and helpful. Without their advice we would not have found the fantastic restaurants we visited, or seen some of the wonderful attractions close by. For that we are very grateful.
