Lovely restful holiday
Beautiful rural garden with varied places to sit and relax in sun or shade. The swimming pool was great to return to in the evening afterxa day's activities. Accommodation was comfortable and spacious. Our hosts were helpful, communicative, informative, delightful and charming.

A little piece of paradise!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa Joaninha. Beautiful property, a little hard to find at the beginning, but after the first time we got the hang of it: it is quite close to town and the beaches. Kids and adults loved the pool!! The owners are lovely and friendly. The space is sparkling-clean and well furnished. We will definitely return. A television would have been nice to watch a family movie at times, but in the end we were so tired after our daily activities that it almost went unnoticed. Five stars!

Lovely property, very clean and well maintained.
Mireille and Domingos were very warm and welcoming. They are very relaxed people who are easy to be around and they made sure our stay was easy going and comfortable. The kids LOVED the pool, picking figs for breakfast and exploring when they weren't playing ping pong. We felt very relaxed on the evenings we didn't go out to eat, it was easy to hang around the pool and to cook in our kitchen and eat in the garden. The local area was great, we spent a lot of time in Olhao, fantastic fresh fish and fun trips to the beach by ferry, we especially liked Armaro Beach. The only glitch was when our GPS took us to the back of the property when we first arrived - partly because a local taxi driver gave us backroad directions, so it was tricky to find, but if you go by the 125 and follow Mireille's directions it's easy. We had a great holiday and we really liked our hosts. Thank You, M&D, and highly recommended from us.

We had a lovely relaxing holiday here with superb, friendly hosts Mireille and Domingos. The pool was great - ideal for kids and adults alike, a perfect temperature. The whole property is really well maintained. Whilst a car is essential a range of really nice beaches are close by (within 10- 20 mins drive) plus it is also only a 25 min trip to Faro / airport etc. The apartment has everything you need for self-catering. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, holiday away from the busier tourist resorts.

Séjour enchanteur en Algarve
Nos vacances dans cette belle région ont été absolument parfaites, et le logement de Mireille et Domingo a su combler nos attentes (2 adultes et 3 ados). L'emplacement de la maison, dans un cadre très paisible et à l'écart de la foule permet une quiétude vraiment appréciable tout en permettant d'accéder facilement à l'ensemble des différents points d'intérêts de l'Algarve. C'est dans cet environnement chaleureux et authentique que Mireille et Domingo nous ont très amicalement reçus. Le logement contient tout ce qu'il faut (dont des parasols pour la plage!), et les espaces extérieurs (patio, piscine, terrain de boules...) sont vraiment un atout majeur. Cookie, Minnie, Tina et Tom ont laissé un souvenir impérissable à nos 3 enfants! Nous sommes rentrés reposés, la tête pleine de très chouette souvenirs, en espérant avoir la chance de pouvoir revenir !
