The property is very beautiful, however we had a lot of issues with the stove in our suite. It wasn’t working properly, and two people had to come in at different times to help us fix it, which took about 1-2 hours. Then when it was “fixed”, it still didn’t work properly, and would randomly shut off and we had to keep flipping the breakers on and off for the suite. This made our cooking experience very frustrating. There was also loud construction that started in the suite next to us around 9:00 in the morning. However the staff were very friendly and nice, and the surrounding area is beautiful.

Very good checkin, they worked hard to give me a better cottage, then gave me an extended checkout....nice people, they did it all with a smile and broken English!
We have been passing the property for many years on our way to the lovely Barril beach nearby and it was convenient to stay one night this year. Staff were friendly, the price was right and we were not disappointed. Dinner was excellent and also well-priced in a cosy part of the bigger restaurant. The small supermarket on-site had good fresh food and the room well-equipped with kitchenette and bathroom. We would stay again !

The downside - I had the cheapest accommodation; a studio. It was a bit tatty, the beds were incredibly hard and uncomfortable, and there was an ant problem that meant any opened food (even cereal) had to be stored in the fridge. It was very dark, with a north facing patio looking onto a weedy courtyard, and the patio doors couldn’t be opened properly as they jammed on the floor. Hot water in the shower came and went and a wall light stopped working while I was there.
The upside - the grounds are lovely. It was quiet when I was there (mid May) and quite often I had the pool to myself. The location was great, a short drive to Tavira, a walk or mini train ride to the beach on the island (which is gorgeous). Staff were really pleasant and helpful. The on-site cafe is nice, I didn’t use the restaurant.
The supermarket on site was a bit rubbish with limited opening hours, but there is a proper supermarket five minutes down the road. There’s no free wifi but you can rent a router for €2 a day.
Would I stay again? Only if I could afford their better accommodation.
The property is very comfortable and the heater operates very well especially in cold evening. And the cleaning staff were very efficient and kept up to very good standard. And I was very comfortable and happy to be there.
The facilities, location and food were all very good, however, the apartment was very tired looking and in need of decorating/renovating. The bed was hard but the apartment size was fairly spacious. The staff throughout were pleasant and professional. Enjoyable stay and would use again.
