Fabulous house in a great secluded location
This was a lovely house….so easy to find by car travelling from the airport. The location of the house is really great, secluded with beautiful vistas. The interior of the house is so comfortable…the living room area is just wonderful with tv, wifi, etc. The bedrooms had the comfiest of beds…in fact the house had everything you needed for a wonderful relaxing holiday. The owner Helen was so quick to reply to any questions that we had and the agent Dirk was on hand to deal with any problems that may arise. All in all a wonderful holiday in a superbly located house…..highly recommended…we will return.

Stunning
We were a family of 8 staying at casa veronica. We had such a lovely stay. The Villa Is very spacious and very homely. Both kids and adults had endless hours of fun in the pool. We spent numerous nights enjoying what we referred to as the snug ticked away at the side of the pool. This little hide away so absolutely beautiful of an evening having bbqs and family meals down there. This villa has the most stunning views which added more to this great holiday. Also have to mention dirk the property manager. We made contact a few times with dirk for general thing such recommendations on places to watch football and local markets we could to. Di rim was very helpful and ensured a lot of info was sent to help with are needs

Lovely relaxing stay
Beautiful villa, photos don't do it justice. 10-20 mins in car from Olhao, Tavira, Fuseta and many stunning beaches, restaurants and tourist attractions. Well appointed villa with all mod cons. It is up a dusty track so be prepared for that but the roads around are very quiet and easy to drive. 4 big bedrooms, 1 ensuite and 2 other bathrooms so ideal for bigger groups. Comfy beds, plenty bedding and towels. Kitchen has everything you need with a separate utility room. Lounge and dining area very spacious with added bonus of two outside areas for shade and relaxing. BBQ. High spec TV, speaker and WiFi for the teenagers!! We all loved the house and feeding the visiting cats. 5 mins to an Intermarche in Moncarapacho so easy for shopping and takeaway cooked chicken for an easy meal if not dining out. Owner also shared some great info on the local towns and places to visit or eat out. Definitely need a car but lots of walks in the neighbourhood too. A minor issue with one of the much needed Aircon units was resolved promptly by Dirk and he communicated regularly to check all OK. Views from the pool down to the coast ate stunning. Overall a great value villa in a rural location. Thoroughly recommend, would stay again.

Suitable for family vacation
Well organized home equipped with everything a family of 7 with ages ranging from 6 to 71 needed. Clean, nice pool and patios, nice quiet neighborhood. A car is essential to reach beaches and local cities.

Lovely villa, great views, very spacious, excellent pool
We had a lovely stay. Villa more spacious than photos suggest, very well equipped and good aircon - pool excellent size. Great sea view. Moncarapacho village short drive (10 mins) - several restaurants there and small supermarket - but too far to walk especially at night. We visited Olhao - great fish market and plenty of restaurants, ferries to nearby island beaches, Tavira - pretty town to explore and Praia do Baril beach - all easily accessible. You do need a car as quite rural - taxis will do airport run but not local trips. Directions to villa need a bit more detail as difficult to find at night - distances would be good. Overall, great stay, owner very easy to deal with - would definitely return.

Lovely Family Villa
The property was excellent with spacious rooms for all the family . Well equipped and spotlessly clean . Quite isolated which is fine as no noisy neighbours only a cockerel crowing and dogs barking from time to time The real bonus was the enclosed snug bbq by the pool especially as the evenings were still cool and of course the pool which everybody loved . The view across to the sea was fabulous . Moncarapacho is a nice town but further away than we thought . The smaller village which was closer had no facilities . Overall for a week it was delightful . We hope to come again next year .

Had a great time
Highlights were. - the heated pool, my other half never normally ventures into the pool but this was lovely and warm, just the right size and depth, and we were both in it everyday. - the lovely view from the patio across the fields and down to the sea - I also enjoyed watching the planes heading into Faro airport, the Fliught Radar App was on overtime! Property was nice and clean and Helen was very quick to respond throughout the booking process. We did have a minor issue with the villa's internet but this was subsequently sorted by Dirk. I wasn't aware when booking that there was another property close to the villa across the drive but they can't see into the property and apart from the occasional vehicle visiting them, there was no real noise. Like anywhere in rural Portugal, there are dogs barking and cockerels crowing in the distance but the villa was still a lovely secluded retreat so these weren't an issue. Great base for exploring the Eastern Algarve, we travelled out to Santa Luzia, Tavira, Olhao and even across to Spain from Alcoutim.

Well equipped villa with everything we needed for our stay.
Excellent stay at the villa, so peaceful and relaxing. Pool area and BBQ area are amazing and the air con is a real bonus! Definitely need a car to get around as the local villages and towns are hidden gems. Didn't get to do everything on our list which gives us an even better excuse to return again. Helen was very helpful with advice and her communication. Dirk the property manager was excellent and a fountain of local knowledge. Hopefully will return again next year.
