3 Bedroom Eco-friendly rural Villa with pool in S.B Messines, Algarve Portugal

Your nearest neighbours are about 1km away. Although very secluded it is within 35 minutes transfer of Faro Airport, about 15 kilometres to the district of Albufeira, 10 minutes drive from shops and restaurants and 10 - 15 minutes from some of the most beautiful villages in the Algarve. Alte is probably one of the most picturesque villages in central Algarve countryside. There is no sense of time while you stroll around the backstreets of the village. The views are breath taking. São Marcos de Serra is typical white washed village. Silves is the old capital of the Algarve and is a real favourite. Its sits at the foot of the Monchique mountains.

The area is great for walking, and sightseeing; on the edge of the Serra Do Caldeirão and next to Serra Do Monchique you get a real feeling of being part of Portugal. Dotted around are some great value Portuguese restaurants with authentic food. Just a 25 minute drive away is Gale beach, one of the longest and quietest beaches in the Algarve. The Algarve has a great rugged coast with many grottos. There are numerous golf courses if you fancy a hole or two.
There are several water parks within a 30 minute drive.

Wonderful visit highly recommended
We found this property as we wanted something VERY out of the way and secluded. It definately fit the bill. Middle of nowhere, away from everyone and everything, no other properties in sight just us, nature and the peace and quiet. We visited for my sons 1st birthday, and honestly didnt want to leave. Exceptionally well planned especially for youngsters (not loads of dangerous stairs to fall, or trip etc) and obviously lovingly put together. The kitchen is equipped fantastically and there was NOTHING that was missing or we could have done with Absolutely spot on. Pool was delightful and the hosts "help" (pool man, cleaners etc ) were punctual, polite, efficient and down right delightful. We will definately return and highly recommend this property.

beatiful location, excellent hosts!
The location is located in a very beautiful and quiet area. Access is easy with any type of car and it is in a position of no more than 1 hour's drive from any objective you propose to visit on the Algarve coast. Equipped with everything needed inside, including the kitchen, very well maintained swimming pool, as well as the garden. Upon arrival, a very substantial welcome package awaits you. The hosts Tina and Jan are very responsive to any request you may have regarding the location and surroundings - we thank them once again for hosting. For my family and friends with whom I lived here, it was an extraordinary experience.

We found everything as described on the website. A very nice villa in a beautiful location with wonderful views all round with the added bonus of being the quietest property by a country mile that we have stayed at in the Algarve in the past 35 years

Peaceful rural Portugal.
We had a great time at Quinta do Javali. The setting and scenery are stunning. Beautiful sunsets every night. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The main living area was really comfortable and the kitchen was more than adequate. The host left us a nice welcome basket which was a really nice touch. The nearest supermarket (lidl /aldi) was about a 25-30 min drive and the local town of Messines is 15. Restaurants were good there and very friendly but not much spoken English. The villa is on its own at the top of a hill on an unmade road. A hire car is essential in my opinion. You can see the nearest property but it's pretty far away. The grounds to the villa are lovely with lots of different seating areas to avoid the sun at the hottest part of the day. The pool was great aswell although the stairs down are a little steep so may be tricky for someone with mobility issues. WiFi was fine and there was a good 4g signal everywhere. A lovely holiday overall. Thanks to the hosts Ian and Tina. They always came back to us very quickly with any queries and supplied good directions on how to reach Javali. Enjoy. X

Perfect location for both authentic and modern Portugal
The house is very spacious and was far too big for just my husband and I but we wanted peace and serenity and that’s exactly what we got. There is a huge garden with a nice pool area and the views are stunning. It is possibly the best equipped house we have stayed in. The owners have thought of everything. As it’s an eco house the water is quite yellow but the showers and water flow were very good and quite powerful. The house does feel quite airy despite no air con and there are ceiling fans as well as portable ones. The supermarket is a short drive away and has everything you’ll need. We used the BBQ a few times but only found the tools for it on the last day. There was a lovely welcome pack which was really welcome and I really does feel like someone’s home. You do need a designated driver to go out anywhere of course. We travelled all over, there’s a fab designer outlet and lots of lovely beaches to visit but be prepared for a 30-40 minute drive. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, it was restful and peaceful and at times does feel really rather remote.

Excellent Location!
We chose this home for our first trip to Portugal as we loved the idea of having no near neighbours! The house is situated on top of a hill with lovely views all around and the nearest neighbours are quite some distance away, so no noisy neighbours to worry about! The gardens are so large and there are many different seating areas so there is always a choice between the sun or shade whatever the time of day. Our average temperature for our 12 night stay was about 34 degrees so we were very grateful for the shade and the pool. The sunrises in the morning and sunsets in the evening were spectacular. Although we spent the majority of our time outside or on trips, the inside had everything that you could possibly want or need. The home relies on solar power but there was always plenty of hot water. The villa is an excellent base for excursions and although it is in quite a remote location, it is still near the main IC1 road so it was very easy to get around once we navigated our way down the tracks to the road! The owners, Ian and Tina, were the most responsive owners we have ever dealt with. Due to Coronavirus we booked everything at the last minute and we had no problems at all. There is a local contact, Saskia, if there are any problems but we had none. We would thoroughly recommend this home if you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday away from the crowds but still in a great position for day trips.

A beautiful villa
The property was well described and on arrival our expectations were more than delivered. The villa was spotless and very well appointed with a comfortable and homely feel to it. The location is perfect if you are looking for peace and tranquility from your vacation. The views are stunning & the sunsets are spectacular. The local amenities are a short dive away where you can find good restaurants, supermarket etc. Overall we really enjoyed our stay in this villa and would highly recommend to others.

Schönes Familienhaus
Das Haus liegt inmitten einer leicht hügeligen Landschaft. Die Zuwege sind nicht befestigt und neben, daher ist von einem Kleinwagen abzuraten - er setzt auf. Das Haus selbst ist liebevoll eingerichtet, alle Schlafzimmer haben praktischerweise ihre eigenen Badezimmer und jeweils Zugang ins Freie. Die poggia bietet ganztägig Schatten. Die Küche ist umfassend ausgestattet. Es war toll, dass ein Begrüßungspaket mit Lebensmitteln bei Ankunft da war, weil wir erst mitten in der Nacht angekommen waren. Die Vermieter sind jederzeit erreichbar. Selbst die Essentials sind alle vorhanden: Badetücher, Waschmittel für Waschmaschine, Geschirrspültabs, Spüli etc. Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt und würden das Haus jederzeit empfehlen. Die Fotos werden dem Haus nicht gerecht, es ist in real noch schöner.
