Casa Milonga
Beautiful, spotless, well provisioned property in a great location for exploring the Algarve. It's a rural property, so a car is necessary for getting around. Timely communications with the property owner and local property manager. We really enjoyed our stay.

Outstanding!!
A truly unforgettable holiday!! Carolina met us at the property, showed us around, offered advice and gave her recommendations, such a lovely, helpful and friendly woman. The villa was absolutely amazing! We stayed here as two families of 4, the villa was perfectly big enough that we didn’t get under each others feet all the time, the pool was beautiful and we loved the outdoor eating area and the fact that it was in the shade which provided a welcomed break from the sun for the kids was just what they needed!! Thanks Raul and Carolina, we loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be returning xx

Perfect Holiday Location
A fantastic two weeks at Casa Milonga, a lovely spacious and well equipped villa with lots of outdoor space and a perfect pool. Private yet with sea views and great beaches within 15mins walk. Garden is very pretty and the red Bourgainvillea frames the outdoor area providing any shade needed. Very responsive communications with the owners and Carolina does a wonderful job with all things at the property. Thank you from us all for a perfect holiday.

Private pool with ocean view
We really enjoyed our stay- the property was lovely, the gardens were great, the pool was fantastic! Our group had 7, age 2 to 68, and everyone had plenty of room and privacy. The only small issues we had were that there were a lot of flies and the dishwasher and AC in the master bedroom acted up. The property manager promptly sent someone to deal with them. This is just the sort of unavoidable issue that sometimes happens, but it didn’t detract from our stay. The flies were more puzzling/ we worked hard to keep doors and windows closed but there were an unusual amount on the porch that then kept getting in the house. They weren’t by the pool at all though, so laying by the pool continued to be the most fabulous experience. We would be happy to return and stay here, and recommend fully to future guests.

An amazing villa
We were a family of 10, ranging from 5 months to 70 years old. The villa was even nicer than the photos and provided us with everything that we needed. It is a spectacular home and we would go back in a heartbeat! The host and other people we dealt with who own and manage the property were fantastic, helpful and very gracious. If you want a family vacation of a lifetime, I would seriously recommend that you book this place. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did!!!

Pool View
The house was very nice . The bathroom at the entrance door had an odor that should be investigated. Only one kitchen towel was provided The bathroom towels we old and they were no pool towels provided. We paided for cleaning service but we had to stripe our own beds and had to dump all our garbage before leaving or we would be charged an additional fee. The plactic shelf was broken and taped back together and feel off breaking a carton of milk.

a great house
The house was great and spacious with everything you could need. Two coffee makers and newly renovated kitchen. Pool isn't heated but it is clean and there is a perfectly situated tree for the afternoon sun. The area is quiet without any development around it. A short ride to the beach and a few restaurants. Only negative is the towels were small and thin and they didn't provide beach towels which for us coming from New York was challenging but we made do.

Fantastic outdoor area with sea views
The highlight of the villa is its location. It is on an exceptionally large plot with very little development nearby. The pool area and garden are beautiful with good quality loungers and views of the ocean in the distance. A car is a necessity to get to most places but Bengali is a pleasant 20 minute walk away along old farm tracks and Marinha Beach can be walked to also. Inside the property is spacious although the lounge is little small compared to other areas. Just one bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and the other three bedrooms share two bathrooms, one of which located by the front door and is accessed through the lounge/dining area. We had a problem with the drainage from one of the bathrooms during our stay but this was rectified as quickly as possible. Marrion, the property manager, was very helpful and quick to respond to all communication. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and thank Raul for the use of his villa.

Absolute Heaven!
Our family stayed at Casa Milonga in late September after attending a wedding in Braga. It exceeded all of my expectations! The villa and the gardens are more beautiful in person than the pictures show. Everything was in bloom and the weather was perfect. We practically lived on the outdoor patio, with the gorgeous bougainvillea framing our view of the pool and the ocean! Raul gave us great suggestions for food shopping and areas of interest. We communicated regularly before we arrived. The house was so comfortable for everyone. Our grandsons loved their bedroom and all of the adults commented on the comfort and spaciousness of theirs. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. The barbeque on the patio was used daily. The villa is a short trip to the beaches or surrounding villages, very easy to navigate with Google maps. Enjoyed shopping at Porches Pottery and had lunch at their little cafe. Their iced coffee is the best, with a little scoop of ice cream!! All in all we had a fantastic vacation and would love to return. I highly recommend Casa Milonga!

Beautiful Benagil villa
We had a lovely week at this beautiful villa and would love to go back. We cannot fault it. The accomodation is spacious and very well equipped. The pool and outdoor areas are lovely and the extensive gardens are beautiful. A wonderful place to sit and watch the sun come up in the morning! Good BBQ too. We liked the fact that the villa is secluded and a little off the beaten track. You do need a car to access beaches, shops and attractions. All are only 5-20 minutes away by car. There are some decent local restaurants you can walk to (only one open when we were there) although its not good to walk with children as there are no pavements. The villa, pool and gardens are so lovely that we were happy to relax at home some days.

We arrived and loved the villa instantly. Plenty of space, comfortable and everything we could need. The location is beautiful and the villa is just perfect for a peaceful get away. It is however a little remote so definitely advise renting a car. We managed fine with taxis and got out and saw the lovely beaches. Although it’s remote the standard of the accommodation and the idyllic views make any holiday here a complete get away from the stresses of a busy life.

Beautifully tranquil
We were two families, ten of us in all. We all had a wonderful holiday for two weeks. The pool area (with plenty of sun loungers) and covered veranda (with a large table and plenty of chairs) were ideal and we spent most of our time between these areas! The gardens were lovely with mature plants and old trees, a gorgeous environment. The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge area comfy for the kids to watch the odd movie- although, would not have been able to accommodate all 10 of us. All the beds were super comfy and meant we struggled to get our teenagers to rouse themselves in the mornings! In an ideal world, we could have done with one more bathroom. The position of the villa is great with views over the sea and a 15 minute walk into Benagil across tracks through the protected countryside. The nearest restaurants were a very short walk down the road and the owner of ‘The Old Fashioned’ and his staff were very friendly. Apollonia supermarket in Lagoa was brilliant and a regular haunt during our stay! We enjoyed the surrounding area and beaches there (early starts to avoid the crowds on the beaches) a must do trip is the 1hr 15min boat trip around the caves from Benagil beach. If there are 10 of you it makes sense to charter a boat privately through them and you get a drink and snacks included for €300 (2018 prices) do book. We also enjoyed Tavira- we ate at the tres Palmieras - a local haunt, turn up early to avoid the queues and eat as much BBQ fish as you can in a refectory style setting. Our whole bill, for 10 of us including drinks came to under €100- great value and an adventure. Silves was another highlight with ancient streets and buildings, so unspoilt. Take a boat trip for the day from Vilamoura- enjoy a bbq on a beach and kayak around the caves, great fun. The Algarve is a wonderful destination and Casa Milonga the perfect base camp. Thank you Raul.

Beautiful villa in a beautiful spot! Tranquil and off the beaten track- perfect!
This villa is perfect for a family including children and babies! The kitchen is well equipped, beds very comfortable and bathrooms/showers are very satisfactory. The surroundings of this villa are stunning. The pool perfect size, a little on the fresh cool side but otherwise perfect after a bit of sun baving to cool off. A well built BBQ and outdoor seating area for a large family to all enjoy dinning together. We were very happy with this choice of villa for our family holiday and would love to come back again! The location, although a car is recommended - there are 2 beautiful beaches within 20 min walking distances - all down hill on the way there.

70th Birthday celebration with family
We stayed at Casa Malonga for one week at the end of May/June to celebrate my 70 th birthday.The villa was all we anticipated and more.Plenty of room for all seven of us and the villa was very well equipped.The weather was chilly in the mornings and in the evening but warm and sunny late morning to early evening. Everything went very smoothly. Marrion was at the villa waiting for us when we arrived and the directions we received were easy to follow. Do be vigilant with little ones around the pool-my 2year old grandson fell in and fortunately was wearing a buoyancy aid and was non the worse for the experience. Good supermarkets are about a 15 minute drive away-try the marinated kebabs at Apalonia on the barbecue. A lovely relaxing holiday and one we all hope to experience for another birthday !

Excellent Family Villa
We were a family of six adults, grown up children and partners and the villa was a perfect size to spread out and have your own space. The outside space and gardens were amazing and made you feel like you had your own little bit of heaven. There was also a great BBQ which we used on several occasions, eating out until late and playing games. The gardens and flowers were beautiful and were lovingly maintained. The location of the villa means a car is essential for getting around although the beach is about 1.5km away and easy to walk/jog to. Only two of the 4 bedrooms had air conditioning and it was very hot in those bedrooms. Also could have done with more bath towels - one each for each week was a bit tight (although we did use the washing machine and facilities. Apart from that a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday. We used the villa as a base to explore the Algarve and spent the other days round the pool or on the beach. The local beaches are lovely and quite select, not commercial at all which we loved. The local restaurants down at Benegil Beach were also amazing - great sea food and other selections.

Very impressive villa in a lovely part of Portugal
Spacious, clean, comfortable, luxury. We were very lucky I think in that the weather was superb for the whole of our mid-April week. Temperature around 23-25 daily, Felt very spoiled. The pool and sea temperatures were around 19, which is chilly but nice. The boat trip along the coast from Benagil is not to be missed. Very little contact with the owner or the owner's rep but little contact was required. Very smooth.

Wonderful family week away
We are a family of five with three adult boys so were looking for somewhere with a pool, close to various beaches that could provide adventure and relatively close to towns for restaurants and culture. We found the perfect place at Casa Milonga - a large villa that could easily accommodate 10 people with all the facilities to make it a very comfortable and happy stay. The pool was large enough for the family and the garden was spectacular. The nearest beach was about a 15 minute fast walk along a dirt track which had boats for hire and a couple of restaurants nearby. We did however tend to drive to other beaches which were about 10-15 minutes. The shopping was in the nearest town of Lagoa and can highly recommend a visit to Silves to see the Castle and museum. Raul was very helpful with regards directions and recommendations for the area. We had a lovely time and would happily have spent a second week there.
