perfect all around
Our expectations of this accommodation were fully met, it was even more beautiful than described. The check-in information and directions were complete, and we also enjoyes the midweek cleaning service. It was wonderful to sit in the winter garden and look out over the well-kept garden and the vineyard to the sea. In a few minutes you reach the cliffs along which the fishing path runs. The house was clean and comfortable, we didnt miss anything. We would love to come back.

Beautiful villa in a beautiful setting, we felt very spoilt. Great location, very private and near lovely areas/beaches. The pool is fabulous - we had it heated which was especially good for the first half of the week, as it was very windy. Whole experience and stay went above and beyond our expectations. A very special place.

Amazing villa, stunning location, highly recommend
We spent 2 very relaxing weeks at Casa Kivi in Aug 2018. The house was wonderful, very well equipped with everything you could need, the gardens and view were just incredible. The house was secluded enough to be very quiet but still within easy reach of nearby towns, beaches and other facilities. We felt very comfortable and right at home from day one of our stay. It was especially nice to have such fantastic access to the paths along the cliff edge. We also really appreciated the comprehensive guide of what to do in the area / restaurant recommendations and general assistance provided by the owner. Can’t recommend highly enough – thank you. We will be back!

Another stay at beautiful Casa Kivi
We have just left Casa Kivi after a second enjoyable stay.The location is perfect,not overlooked and very peaceful.Nothing but a vineyard and the sea in front,with lovely walks in all directions. A new kitchen has been recently installed.The villa and grounds are large,and conveniently built on one level.Everything is taken care of very well by the gardener,cleaners and villa management company.The owner Donald has been most helpful. I would definitely recommend this villa. Judith Champness.

Peaceful view and awesome vacations
The house is great, with a splendid view. The upfront veranda is very useful. The mosquito net at each window and doors allow to sleep with fresh air without switching on the air cond. the area is super quiet. The bedrooms and bathrooms are perfect. We spent very nice time. We would have appreciated a bit more light during night time in the garden and swimming pool. It is very dark as there is no one around and a bit dansgerous for kids with the swimming pool. We would have appreciated also to be able to store the high valued bike in a locked garage. But overall was great time and location is also great

Nice location but very overpriced for what it is
Booked this late and can see why it was one of the few left! Very overpriced - there are better properties for less money and we have made sure we have booked one of these for next year! We are used to staying in 5 star properties but this is a 3 star place for a 5 star price! Pool was quite small and freezing cold, even though it was a hot August! Had to pay for heating of pool but then found pool heater didn’t work - was initially told it would take 2 weeks to fix, obviously we were not happy with this and complained, so owner eventually agreed to get it fixed quicker but still had to wait and they had to come back again as didn’t work properly once fixed! The sofas were old and very uncomfortable,- the beds were very hard and uncomfortable and there was a horrible smell in one of the wardrobes which meant we didn’t hang our clothes in there!!!! The air conditioning unit outside is rusty and we had a big ant problem - had to buy ant spray to use every day! Only one tv in villa and this didn’t work properly a lot of times especially if you were using the internet! Nice location but can’t reach beach from villa. Other reviews claimed lovely walks but this meant that we had people walking passed the villa a lot so not a lot of privacy! Kitchen and bathrooms quite new but due to being overpriced for what it is, small pool, very uncomfortable and owners false claims we would not recommend this property, as there are many others that are much nicer!!!

Wir waren das zweite mal hier mit der ganzen Familie und es war wieder ein unschlagbarer Urlaub. Die Villa ist in einem Top Zustand, man sieht, dass der Besitzer darauf achtet, den hohen Standard zu halten. Die perfekte Lage mit einem überwältigenden Ausblick inclusive des Pools lässt alle Herzen höher schlagen. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und einen traumhaften Urlaub verbracht.

Magnifique villa au bord de la mer
Nous avons été ravis de notre séjour à la villa Kivi. La maison est très spacieuse, confortable et très bien équipée. Nous avons pu jouir de la vue splendide sur l'océan. La belle plage de Burgau est accessible à pied en environ 20 minutes. Nous recommandons de découvrir ce coin de l'Algarve assez préservé, où il est encore possible de voir des villages traditionnels dans l'arrière-pays et de rejoindre la côte ouest.

Besser geht es nicht !!
Eine zauberhafte Ferienimmobilie. Wir haben sie gleich noch einmal für nächstes Jahr gebucht. Waren auch schon das zweite Mal da. Ich weiß wirklich nicht, was noch besser sein könnte. Traumhafter Meerblick!!! Burgau und Luz in fussläufiger Entfernung. Liegt halt genau in der Mitte. Andere Ferienhäuser in dieser Lage kosten das doppelte!! Sind aber auch nur 3 - 4 Stück. Ist halt quasi eine Alleinlage, nicht so ein zugebautes Viertel wie meistens dort. Ach so: Die üblichen Kriterien, Einrichtung, Ausstattung und so weiter sowieso hier nicht erwähnenswert. Alles perfekt..

Großartiger Meerblick
Das Anwesen ist toll gelegen. Man kann in Ruhe den Meerblick genießen und ist gleichzeitig schnell an einer Vielzahl von wunderschönen Stränden und in der niedlichen Kleinstadt Lagos. Die Villa selbst ist sehr geräumig, die Hauptschlafräume und Bäder wurden sehr geschmackvoll erneuert. Zimmer 3 und Zimmer 4 sind für Kinder in Ordnung. Insgesamt ein tolles Haus für einen tollen Preis (April)

Das war wunderbar
Supertolles Ferienhaus in absoluter Top Lage. Kann nicht besser sein. Quasi Alleinlage, morgen ist man mit dem Kaffee und dem Ozean für sich. Top Service der Agentur, alles drei Tage neue Handtücher, Poolservice unauffällig und sehr freundlich. Alle sprechen englisch! Verständigung also auch kein Problem. Burgau liegt in fußläufiger Entfernung über den wunderbaren Atlantikwanderweg. Versorgung also auch kein Thema. Wir hatten zwar vorsorglich einen Leihwagen gebucht, hätten wir aber gar nicht gebraucht. Mit dem Fahrrad kommt man überall hin. Wir überlegen schon, wann wir wiederkommen wollen. ;-)

About the host

Hosted by Donald

Host profile image
Having grown up in Scotland and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1982, I subsequently worked in various locations around the world before settling in London in 1994. Currently based in Walton on Thames with my partner and our black labrador , we love to enjoy our villa several times per year , being very easy to escape from the fast paced London environment , and be in paradise after a short 2 1/2 hour flight from London. My four grown up children love to travel to the villa each year with their friends to enjoy the sunshine , beaches and local activities and nightlife. The villa location is truly stunning which you can only really appreciate when you are there with 300 metres of vineyard and villa grounds ,with the ocean coming up to the cliff edge at the end of the garden. We have enjoyed the villa very much over the last 18 years and my intention is to spend a substantial amount of time in the sunshine there in my retirement.

Why they chose this property

Having travelled the world extensively on business,I never ceased to marvel at an outstanding ocean view wherever I went. When we decided to buy a second home we looked at properties in several countries including Turkey , Croatia, Montenegro ,Italy ,Portugal ,France and USA and ultimately chose the Algarve and this property for its outstanding view and natural beauty, with the ocean view being absolutely stunning. With it's close proximity to Burgau and Praia da Luz (walking along the cliff top ocean path ) and the medieval town of Lagos (10 mins drive) together with the world class surfing beaches and golf courses nearby the villa was the ideal location for all of us. The villa has the perfect combination of as much peace and tranquillity that anyone would want to recharge their batteries from a tiring lifestyle at home ,bathed in sunshine. However with a large garden ,swimming pool and multiple beaches including surfing , golf courses and fantastic restaurants and bars nearby ,to enjoy your holiday at as fast a pace as you would like in the glorious sunshine. The summer temperature averages between 20 and 32 C , with the Algarve getting over 3000 hours of sunshine throughout the year. Many of the beaches are busy but there are also several remote ,less frequented beaches to be discovered . In addition there are local nature reserves where you can enjoy the local tranquillity together with the local wild life.

What makes this property unique

Stunning cliff top location with vineyard looked after by a private gardner and maid , with a large area of private grounds with private swimming pool overlooked by mature palm trees. If it's peace and tranquillity that you crave , and to escape from the 'rat race'the villa is ideal . If it's fun you are after ,it's a short walk to the coastal resorts of Burgau and Praia da Luz complete with beautiful beaches and multiple amenities, and a short drive to the world class surfing beaches and golf courses nearby . The medieval resort of Lagos is an easy 10 minute drive away with many historical points of interest ,marina and fantastic beaches complete with watersports, restaurants and other extensive local night life. All of these can easily be reached by local bus or taxi service.In addition any other part of the Algarve can be reached by car in 30 -60 minutes with Lisbon and Seville in Spain being approximately 2 and 1/2 hours away by car.
