About this house rental
The south-facing, lovingly built and furnished villa is located near Porches in a very popular urbanização, quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac. Shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, and all other facilities for daily needs are only a few minutes away and sometimes within walking distance.
This villa is very special. The property was heaped up before construction, so that it has an elevated position and offers a beautiful view of the other, well-kept villas and the surrounding area. In addition, the villa was built from Ytong stones, which guarantee a pleasant, naturally cool temperature in summer and do not let the house cool down in the winter months.
On the ground floor there is the very large living and dining room with a separate kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a guest toilet and a utility room, as well as an equipment and tool room with access from the garden. The kitchen directly adjacent to the dining area was specially made by the carpenter and is equipped with high-quality appliances and has a separate storage room. The two bedrooms are spacious, have large fitted wardrobes and each has its own bathroom with underfloor heating.
Large glass doors lead from the living room to the partially covered terrace, the heated pool and the very well-kept garden with exotic trees, many shrubs and palm trees. A tall hedge surrounds the fully fenced property and offers complete privacy. The large BBQ area, with a brick table with marble top and benches, can accommodate up to 10 people.
The upper floor can be used as an independent apartment. It has access from the entrance area on the ground floor, as well as via the fairytale "Cinderella stairs" on the right of the house. There are 2 bedrooms, a spacious bathroom with underfloor heating and another room that is currently the 3rd Bedroom is used. However, it is an open bedroom as it also serves as a passage for the other two bedrooms on this floor. Since it has a fireplace, this room can also be used as a living room. The large, sheltered terrace offers a wonderful view.

We had a wonderful stay at this superb villa. Everything from enquiring to the stay itself went like clockwork.Sonja was very prompt with replying to any questions and very helpful with making sure everything was ready on our arrival. We had a late flight and this was no problem.Estrela was our point of call whilst we were staying at the villa and she was so helpful with any questions.The villa itself was beautiful and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. we like to relax by the pool during the day and then go and explore different parts of the Algarve and enjoy a meal in the evening. The location was ideal for this, being central. There was shopping and a few restaurants nearby. I would recommend this villa to anyone and will definitely be looking at going back in the future.

Sonja and Estrela were terrific hosts. The home is large and immaculate and the pool was AMAZING. It worked very well for our family, and we had a great time there. We felt safe, secure, and well cared for. We would certainly recommend it to others.
A few minor items to note for those who may not be familiar with the area:
1. Like most homes in the Algarve, it does not have air conditioning. It often cools down at night, but even with a fan (which the home provides), it can be warm on hot days.
2. There is no indoor oven. We did not cook in the house, but that may be a surprise for some visitors.
3. The washing machine and bathrooms all worked absolutely perfectly, but we used our own soap in both. If laundry or hand soaps were available, we didn't find them.
4. Porches has some beautiful vineyards nearby, and the nearest beach is only 10 minutes by car, but the more extravagant beaches are 20 minutes (or more) away. Its location also contributes to the temperature, as it is not beach front. However, Sonja's pool front is gorgeous, and we were very pleased to spend time there.

We had some issues with the property upon our arrival. We had no running hot water for 24 hours. That was an issue for us as we had to take cold showers. The property needs a little bit of work. A bees nest outside one of the rooms. The place wasn't clean dead bugs on beds. Ants in the washroom where i had my toothbrush and toothpaste.
