Wonderful relaxing stay

An absolutely fantastic property with amazing hosts who really went out of the way to make us feel welcome and provide advice on things to do and see in the area. The house has everything you need and the pool is stunning as are the views all around. Location is excellent, set in a quiet rural area but a short drive to beaches, shopping and restaurants and places to visit. We had a great relaxing stay and will definitely be going back!

Brilliant holiday - lovely villa and great host!

We had a lovely week staying at Laura's villa. The house had everything we need - lots of outside areas we made the most of, great pool, equipped kitchen, big living room etc. Laura was lovely - great communication about arrival, she and her family live just down the road so were around if we needed anything (and informed us about local events during the week) but with privacy at the same time. Easy drive to lovely beaches and towns, 10 mins to supermarket. We'd love to come back some time!

Little piece of paradise

Wonderful house with a lovely garden and a big, fancy pool, perfect for children. Kids were very happy also with the trampoline and the swing. The owners are very kind and usually leave treats (a bottle of wine, homegrown vegetables etc.). Very good communication. Sparkling clean sheets and towels, both personalized. A cozy corner and a balcony with stunning views that make compulsive readers happy. We are utterly grateful for this memorable week.

Excellent stay

We were delighted with our stay at the accommodation. It was me and my sister and her brother. I worked from the villa and the internet connection was excellent. the owners were very helpful and pleasant. The views were amazing and the pool was very big and clean. small thing is that the beds were hard. So it was not so comfy sleeping. But still we where well rested so its a small FB point. We enjoyed the Algarve very much and are more than happy to come back at this stay. Thank you Ruben en Laura!

Wonderful Villa on the hill!

Quinta da Altura is a beautiful villa with wonderful views and with great owners Ruben and Laura to make your stay the best. We've had the opportunity to stay in the area a few times and I must say this villa had a wonderful homely feeling, with a fantastic large pool which was used to the full and a great outdoor kitchen/bbq area . We have 4 children 15, 11, 8 and 6 yr old and they loved it. Wifi for the older ones, dvd player for the younger ones but for all the Pool and the visits from Lolita and Yoshi the dogs ensured they loved it. The villa was situated with a short drive to Silves, Armacao de Pera and Carvoeiro so excellent location for getting out and about! We loved it and hope to be back soon.

Beautiful rural rustic property . Immaculately clean with beautiful garden , terrace and pool. Completely private though the owners Laura & Ruben are below the villa privacy is respected at all times. As hosts they are wonderful. The best arrival package .. the home grown oranges were delicious. In the middle of the week a bottle of wine and pastries were left as a surprise in the outside kitchen fridge .. so thoughtful. Only complaint is the beds were too hard for us but we are very fussy .. Car essential .. great recommendations for dinner Thank you for a wonderful week

Lovely family holiday at Quinta Da Altura

If you're looking for a lovely peaceful place to stay then this is the villa for you. It has everything you need for a nice relaxing holiday. The views from the villa are stunning and we looked forward to our morning coffee everyday sat on the decking under the tree. The villa is clean, the rooms are spacious and the swimming pool is perfect for those long hot days and the gardens are very well kept. The kitchen has everything you need to make your own meals and there is an outside BBQ for the more adventurous ! A car is a must but there is a railway station and a bus stop less than a kilometre from the villa. Laura and Ruben are brilliant hosts. Our initial enquiries and any questions we had were answered very quickly and whilst we were in the villa, Laura was always available to talk to. All in all we had a fantastic holiday and can't wait to go back to Quinta Da Altura one day. Thank you

Very nice place and great location. The location is excellent as you can reach the closest beaches in Armacao de Pera or the small city of Silves in less than 15min. Other Algarve's attractions/locations in around 30-45min (e.g. Albufeira, Faro, Olhao, Lagos) and the West coast's beaches like Bordeira's beach in less than 1h drive. The house is spacious as is the external area with the wonderful swimming pool and covered area ideal for having breakfast/lunch/dinners, playing cards with the kids and grilling. Some renovation is needed and this is something that the owners are actively doing on a regular basis. We had a fantastic time and very much appreciated Laura and Ruben's care to make everything perfect. They are very nice, kind and attentive people always available to help and respecting our privacy. We appreciated finding little presents from their garden (e.g. melon, peppers) on the outdoor table in the morning. The villa is reachable trough a dusty road from Alcantarilha gare. Given its isolated location, a car is a must. We highly recommend the place and the owners. Ideal for people who want privacy and quiet.

Amazing villa in an amazing location

You are always excited about the prospect of going away on holiday to a new location, but always a bit nervous that it will not be as good as the pictures and the write up. Hilltop Villa not only lives up to the pictures but in our experience exceeds it in all aspects. The villa is amazing, so clean and so well arranged that all the rooms are cool all the time. The views for the terraces and balconies are amazing. The pool area is fantastic, big enough for messing around as a family, but also big enough for a proper swim before breakfast.The outside barbecue and dining area mean that you do not have to think about going out in the evening to eat and can instead relax with a beer or glass of wine. In addition to all of this the daily visits of the owners two small dogs Lolita and Yoshi added to the relaxed feel of the villa, with just the requirement to fuss and throw the occasional ball - fantastic for children We were able to fully unwind and relax - just what a holiday should be. If you need to be doing something it was only a short drive to the beaches of the Algarve and Albufeira and the bustling resorts with their shops and restaurants, plus a relaxing train journey to the port of Lagos where you could just stroll around the old town, book on one of the many daily boat trips, or just sit in the restaurants and bars and people watch. Overall, and fantastic villa in a fantastic location. Thank you Ruben for allowing us to stay in your house

Perfektes Ferienhaus

Das Ferienhaus ist ein Traum. Es hat alles, was man sich wünscht. Ruben und Laura sind perfekte Gastgeber. Sie wohnen beim Nachbargrundstück und stehen einem für alle Fragen zur Verfügung. Der Empfang war herzlich und in der Küche hat uns ein kleines Starterpaket erwartet. Auch wenn Poolpartys ausschweifender werden, ist das kein Thema. Ruben saubert jeden Morgen um 7.00 Uhr den Pool und auch die Holzkohle vom Grill wird von ihm entfernt. Mit dem Auto braucht man rund 10 Minuten zum Strand. Ein Auto ist ein Muss. Die letzten 800 Meter zum Anwesen ist Schotterweg. Da das Anwesen weiter oben auf dem Berg ist, hat man einen traumhaften Ausblick! Ich kann es von Herzen weiterempfehlen.

Magnifique villa perchée sur la colline

Une super expérience pour nos vacances. La villa est très jolie, le jardin est magnifique, fleuri et arboré avec goût. L'extérieur est composé de plusieurs espace aménagé pour la détente, la petite terrasse en bois pour observer la jolie vue sur la plaine naturellement à l'abri du soleil par un très bel arbre (idéal pour le petit déjeuner ou l'apéritif). L'espace bronzage et piscine prolongé l'entrée de la villa. La piscine est top et assez grande pour nager. La cuisine extérieure est un vrai plus, nous y avons passé nos soirées avec plaisir. Il y a aussi un espace jeu pour les enfants, donc tout le monde y trouve son compte. L'intérieur est également très agréable avec des chambres spacieuses et de nombreuses salles d'eau. Et pour couronner le tout, des propriétaires charmants et de très bons conseils. Leur maison est en contrebas mais assez espacé de la villa et n'est pas visible, donc on est chacun chez nous dans la villa et ses extérieurs ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas dans ce style de location. Bref je recommande totalement 😊
