We had a wonderful stay at Casa Boa Vista, as the villa and surrounding area were beautiful and had everything that we needed for a great holiday. The area is quiet, yet close to plentiful amenities and pretty towns that are well worth a visit. The villa is one of the best that we have stayed at, with all the facilities you could need, and with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. We spent mornings on visits, and then enjoyed the fabulous pool, games room and terrace for the rest of the day. It is also worth visiting the local bistro, Casa De Pasto Do Carmo, as the food is simple yet delicious, with everything at a reasonable price. We pre-ordered the cataplana for our last visit, which was glorious! The local caretaker, Inês, was very friendly and helpful, and it was great to know that she was on hand should any issue arise. But we had no issue at all, as Casa Boa Vista is an excellent villa, to which we would very much like to return, very soon! Thank you to Paula and Inês for the help with our booking and stay, and best wishes to you.

The villa was everything we wanted; it was was spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. The pool was glorious as it was kept at a perfect temperature and was big and deep enough to have a proper swim. The games room was well used and loved by all. It included a table tennis table, pool table, darts board and board games galore. It was too hot for boules in the daytime, but it was lovely to play in the evening. We struggled to find time though as there was so much else to do! Inês looks after the property and she couldn’t do enough for us. She was easy to contact and responded very quickly to answer any questions we had. It made the stay completely stress-free.
We had to drive everywhere which we were fine with as the benefit was a quiet and tranquil location up in the hills with a gorgeous cooling breeze, even on the hottest day. The villa is about 10 mins drive to the local supermarket in Moncarapacho which had a cafe inside and was a decent size. Our favourite restaurant, Antonio’s, was also there where we had the best stone cooked steaks we had ever had. There were lots of lovely beaches to explore within 20 to 30 mins drive and Tavira town is well worth a visit. We hope to be back next year.

Family from Telford, United Kingdom May 2023

We stayed at this villa as a large family of 8 needing plenty of space and this villa did not disappoint! In my opinion the photos do not do the villa justice as it’s so much bigger than anticipated. Every room is really big, especially the double room with en suite located upstairs. Everyone had their own space when needed especially my son who is autistic and was relaxed the whole holiday which was so important to us. The pool is also a great size and always warm enough to take a dip or swim, my 7 year old daughter was barely out of it. The weather was beautiful with a lovely subtle breeze all day. As we were happy to spend most of our time at the villa we decided against hiring a car, instead we used the Uber app when venturing 10 mins into the town and they always arrived quickly and we’re very cheap! Olhão was lovely and food was Devine, one day we took the ferry to Farol and enjoyed the beach with big waves! Overall I cannot fault the villa, owner and manager they are very accommodating. Our holiday will be one to remember and would not hesitate to come back, thank you!

Family from Groea, Norway Jul 2022

Our stay at Casa Boa Vista in early July was the perfect family holiday. We were 8 people, from small children to grandparents, and Casa Boa Vista was just the perfect villa. Lots of space both inside and outside, and the pool!! We had people in the pool from early morning to bedtime. The house was very clean and well equipped, appliances were new and functional, and whatever we needed was there in the house somewhere. It was very hot (unusually hot) the week we were there with temperatures up to 35 degrees and maybe more, but it wasn’t really a problem. There was a strong ocean breeze during the day which made life comfortable, and we used the air conditioning in the bedrooms through the night. If anything, the living room was too hot in the evenings, but it was not a big issue. The house has a good location, quite private and with a nice country view. We really like the area and the surroundings, with easy access to supermarkets and restaurants and beaches at the coast. The contact with Paula the owner and with Ines the local manager was pleasant and problem free. The property is just as nice as it looks on the website, if not even better, and we would rent it again any day!

We have just had the pleasure of a week's stay at Casa Boa Vista.
What an outstanding villa! The villa is set in a semi rural location and very peaceful and tranquil. The views from the villa are wonderful, so if you want peace and quiet and time to chill and unwind, this is where you should stay.
You have everything you could possibly want - the kitchen has all facilities and every utensil. Rooms are exceptionally spacious and comfortable. We stayed with our friends and loved our evenings playing pool and table tennis in the games room. We did visit the local bistro a couple of times and was not disappointed. The food was lovely as were the owners. The swimming pool was amazing, warm and such a good size.
We have visited Portugal on several occasions and stayed along the coast, but we do not regret staying here in the villa as we felt it was exceptional and we cannot wait to return.

Family from Bradford, United Kingdom May 2019

We al loved our stay at Casablanca Boa Vista. The only negative feedback is the lack of a handy shop or bar nearby.

Reply from Paula

Appreciate your comments but part of the sheer pleasure of the villa is that it is in a semi rural location, car hire essential. However we do highlight the excellent bar/bistro restaurant just 2 mins drive or 12+ mins walk from villa, open 10am-11pm.
Glad you enjoyed and thank you for 5 star feedback.

18-26 SEPT 2019 5/5 STARS Exactly as described This villa was perfect for us, situated in a beautiful area, tranquil and peaceful but not far from the hustle and bustle of busy resorts if that’s what you prefer. The villa itself has all any family with children could wish for with a games room downstairs with a pool table, table tennis, dart boards, table football, a gaming machine and exercise equipment, the pool is heated but you do need to keep the cover on when not in use so as to maintain a good temperature, there is also plenty of inflatables etc for the pool. Inside the villa there is everything you could wish for and it is all kept at a very high standard and really well maintained, Inês the manager goes though everything with you and if required is very easy to contact and a lovely woman. I would highly recommend this villa Thank you Paula and Steve for all your help and the information given before we left We will return Alan, Maria and family Bristol UK

THOMAS Aug 2019

6-13 AUGUST 2019 5/5 STARS Superb villa, excellent facilities, great location After having spent a wonderful, relaxing week at this villa it’s really hard to see how it could be improved. Everything is top quality, a great deal of consideration has gone into ensuring that guests have a fabulous time. Pool area is large, water warm, lovely garden space and many areas for activities such as pétanque, table football and pool. Excellent communication with the owner and local manager. A terrific experience all round.

ADRIAN Jun 2019

17-24 JUNE 2019 5/5 STARS Everything was fine with this villa. Absolutely nothing to complain about.Everything was as described. The heated pool is big and perfect! Would recommend the villa!

HELEN DAVIES Aug 2017

The villa was beautiful, spacious and very clean. I was particularly pleased to find that the kitchen was well equipped, as I love to cook. Your meet and greet service was an excellent touch, destressed us instantly. Good to know if we'd had any problems (which we did not) there was someone close by to help us. We loved the bistro just a couple of minutes away by car and must admit we went there several times. Recommend the steak on a stone!

JANE SKELTON Jul 2017

Hi Paula, Must be our third visit (?) and as usual we had a lovely time at Casa Boa Vista. Everything so high quality, very clean, comfortable and tidy and we enjoyed the pool like always.It is a lovely retreat, a lovely area to visit and we intend to return with a bigger family group very soon.

STANLEY BROWN Jun 2017

We had such a good time again and very much enjoyed Casa Boa Vista and the warm pool. We were especially grateful for all the child proof equipment - the child gates, the playpen, the high chair and two cots you provided all at no extra cost. We had an excellent holiday again and the Villa was perfect for our needs. The facilities are excellent and if we had experienced poor weather, we would have liked to spend more time in your fabulous basement games room but the weather was so good for the whole of our stay - just one cloudy day, the rest was wall-to-wall sunshine. We will be booking again 2018.

Skelton May 2016

Our return to Casa Boa Vista was exactly as we remembered, a lovely clean, well equipped villa, both inside and out, perfect for a family holiday with all ages catered for with the lovely heated pool and lots to do in the games room. My 36-year-old son was especially impressed with the retro games machine, taking him back to childhood with games like Pacman and Arcadians! The garden is a pleasant place to sit or play boules or bbq or pick a lemon from the tree for a G&T! We walked down the track a couple of nights to visit Maria's restaurant and are never disappointed with the freshly cooked food and friendly service. I have no hesitation in recommending Casa Boa Vista, everything is of highest standard and no doubt we will return.The new route from the airport is much quicker too! Thank you Paula, we had a great time in your lovely villa.

Bob and Hazel May 2016

Our second visit .. we had a lovely time. Casa Boa Vista was excellent and very well equipped. Ines and the maid were excellent and Rudolfo was also very friendly and spent a while telling us about some of the plants in the beautiful garden. We did not really use the new TV much but having Sky Sports is a big plus as we like cricket and F1. Hope to return next year!

The house was fantastic, we were all very happy to be there and were most impressed with the garden. Your guest information file was very useful and the most comprehensive that I have come across.

What a gem! Incredible views, relaxed in seconds just as the advert says. Beautifully furnished and equipped, lots of space, superb heated pool, BBQ, boules area and garden - we wanted for nothing. The children and adults thought the games room truly wonderful and we are already planning to return in 2012.

Just returned from a superb week in Casa Boa Vista. Had everything we dreamt of and more. Much larger than the photos, very well equipped and the views from the pool terrace were wonderful. Children loved the pool, the lads loved the games room. The girls just relaxed and enjoyed the peace and tranquility and occasional glass of wine. Local area definitely lower cost than Central areas. Highly recommend and already hoping to book again for 2010. Thanks Paula and Steve.

Casa Boa Vista surpassed all our expectations. Very large and tastefully decorated. Exceptionally well equipped, the owners have thought of everything. Loved the artwork, the garden with boules and BBQ and especially the games room. It was a real bonus too to have local managers Paula and Steve on call if we needed them. A quality service. The Eastern Algarve was a delightful surprise, charming, unspoilt and still very low cost. We will most definitely revisit the area and stay in this villa. Recommend Recommend

An excellent week was enjoyed by all in the villa. There was lots of room for the 8 of us. Couldn't get the kids out of pool. Excellent and helpful staff who were curteous and dealt with minor problems quickly. Freshly delivered bread rolls very morning was a real treat! Will be recommending the villa to all our friends.

Came back a second time and still fantastic, even more delightful than last time. A definate must for that quiet, undisturbed, relaxing holiday, even Hurricane Vince couldn't spoil it for us. Everything you could want for a break away from it all - am getting in touch to book yet again for next year!!! Thank you very much!

We have been spoilt!! Excellent value for money a very classy villa for a week with a beautiful warm pool,outstanding views stylish furniture and first class service. Where can you go and find warm bread rolls waiting for you every morning by 8a.m - and all included in the price!! Truly wonderful. Recommend, recommend recommend

Beautiful villa, very spacious and airy. Very high spec furnishings. Reluctant to move away from the heated pool and terrace but when you do the beaches are quite lovely. The golf at Cima and Marim is excellent. Will definitely come again.
