Absolutely fantastic visit to Villa Charme. Fernando was an excellent host, responding to queries very quickly and offered many excellent recommendations. The villa is situated in a rural area, but very central to all the towns along the Algarve (you will need a car). The villa itself is very spacious and comfortable. The soccer (football) pitch was a big hit for everyone! Highly recommend staying at Villa Charme, whether it's for a family reunion or a getaway with friends.

We have just returned as a family of 10 from staying for 10 days at the superb Fantastic Villa Charme. It has been wonderful. The villa itself is perfect for a large group with everything you could want provided and the pool and poolside gym used every day. Fernando the host could not have been more helpful and nothing was too much effort for him. He gave us great recommendations for restaurants to celebrate one of our parties birthday and also the best beaches to use. Our holiday could not have been better. Highly recommend

10/10 villa in a 10/10 location with an 11/10 host.

Absolutely flawless experience staying at this property with a large group of friends. Throughout the whole booking process and during the stay, Fernando was incredibly hospitable and responsive. All of our questions were answered answered within hours, at any time of day. The villa is also perfectly located for a mix of activities - not too far from the party strip of Albufeira, not too far from Faro, and very close to a number of beautiful beaches. Highly recommend:)

Lovely traditional villa and superb for kids

We've just returned from a week at fernando's villa. There was 6 adults and 6 children. The outdoor area is perfect for the kids and it's all enclosed so you can relax knowing they can't go anywhere. Fernando is more than helpful and responded to any questions within 30 mins. We will certainly return.

Fantastic

We had a great holiday. The villa is ideal for a family group. We were 10 plus a baby. Everything was in good working order. The villa is within easy reach of a number of towns popular with holiday makers. There is a good supermarket five minutes away by car. The weather could not have been better. Many thanks to Fernando who is a wonderful host.

Perfect getaway out of the crowdy area

It was really nice to stay in Fernando’s house. Such a good host and the communication was fantastic. We were with 9 people to celebrate our 25 th wedding anniversary, we could not have picked out a better place than this. All the beaches in the area around the village( max 20 min drive) are so nice and beautiful. Always finding a sheltered place to go to. West coast within an hour drive. Nice beaches towards the east/west, nice cycling road/mtb. Within 20 min. Kiting and surfing. To much to mention. Stay here and your holiday would be a perfect match for relaxing and activity if you want that. Car needed.

Amazing home

This place is amazing and Fernando the host is the icing on the cake. We had 2 families totaling 11 people and ghe kids ranged from 2 to 14yrs old. Everyone had a wonderful time with plenty to do inside and outside of the home. The kids loved the heated swimming pool and the soccer goals were used nonstop. There was plenty of space for both families and it had all the amenities you could need. We are so grateful that we found this 💎. Fernando is always available to answer questions and he is so gracious. He even brought us traditional Alentejo sweets at the end of our stay. Book this place today!!

Great villa and a great host

In the build up to our stay there was so much uncertainty over travel during the pandemic, whether we would be able to go, how long for and how quarantine rules at either border would affect our trip. During this period, Fernando was incredibly understanding and flexible, at significant risk and cost to himself. I can't speak highly enough about how responsive and fair he was in how he approached this and it was much appreciated. We ended up staying at the villa for 3 weeks and although we had booked for more travellers, there only ended up being 4 of us so we had lots of room! The villa is just as described and the pool and garden is a fantastic area to relax and enjoy your holiday. Villa is well stocked for everything you need and Fernando is clearly willing to help if there is anything you need. We had a great stay and would highly recommend the villa.

WOW

Only one word to describe this Villa - AMAZING. We were a group of 12 (6 Adults & 6 Children). The villa was perfect for every age group - sunbeds, bbq, pool, trampoline, football & volleyball posts. Many tranquil days spent by the pool in the south facing garden so the sun is on the sunbed area all day. There was also plenty of spots to sit in the shade if the sun gets a bit hot. We were welcomed with a wonderful basket of fruit, a bottle of wine, bread, butter, cheese, water. Fernando also recommended a boat trip to see the caves and a few restuarants, all of which were fantastic. Whilst you cannot really walk anywhere from the villa, there are plenty of supermarkets nearby and also a large retail park with shops such as Toys R Us, Sports Direct, Timberland etc. The nearest Continente supermarket is also on the retail park, however we used the nearby Aldi for supplies. Will definitely be returning

Unbelievably Welcoming

I cannot say enough about Villa Charme and it's owner operator Fernando. The property is very welcoming, roomy, and well appointed. Fernando is the owner and operator of the property, and his hospitality is unmatched in any of my "for rent by owner" experiences. He was there to greet us, once to check on the pool (scheduled) and make sure everything was up to our expectations (which exceeded all), and then to bid us farewell. We had eleven people (five adults and six children ranging in ages 4-16) meet at Villa Charme from different parts of the world. The house was ample in space, we used the kitchen and bbq frequently to feed the group. The pool, trampoline, and games gave all adequate activities. When not at the house, there are many beaches, towns, restaurants, and excursions a few minutes drive from the property. We had a wonderful week stay at Villa Charme and the Algarve mostly due to Fernando and his unmatched hospitality, local knowledge and recommendations. You cannot go wrong with this choice; so glad we did. Muito obrigado Fernando!

Fantastic villa for family holiday

Fantastic villa, in a quiet and convenient location with a lovely host. We stayed for 7 nights in July/August. We were a group of 6 adults and 6 kids under 12. Three generations of an Anglo-Portuguese family. The villa was perfect for us. Big garden and outdoor pool meant the kids (and adults) were always happy playing outside. Ping pong table, plenty of board games and satellite TV kept them amused indoors when they needed a break from the sun. Kitchen has everything a large family needs to cook or bbq or bring a take away back to the villa. Plenty of seating inside and outside the villa for eating, relaxing and chatting. Villa location is excellent, within 10 minutes you can drive to the following: algarve shopping centre (massive Continente supermarket for food shop); Guia to pick up frango piri piri takeaway; Salgados Beach (one of best beaches in this part of algarve); marine world. The villa is also literally 1 km from the main motorway that goes east/west along the algarve. But it’s so quiet you wouldn’t notice. This villa is an excellent place for chilling out with family and also great location for exploring the algarve. The owner Fernando was awesome and very welcoming. He met us in person and the villa was stocked up with a huge amount of fresh fruit and a few basic supplies(bottled water, milk, wine, dishwasher tablets, washing powder). He even helped collect some of my family who had broken down a few kms from the villa which we were extremely grateful for. As other reviews mention, Fernando has plenty of restaurant, beach and taxi recommendations. He is charming host and he promptly responded to all queries and messages we sent him during our stay. Honestly, he was a class act that couldn’t do enough to ensure that we had a good stay. This villa and owner are highly recommended. We’d love to come back next year.

Fantastische Villa für den Familienurlaub

Wir reisten mit zwei Familien (insgesamt 11 Erwachsene + 1 Kleinkind) an. Die Villa Charme hatte alles zu bieten, was man sich für den Urlaub wünschen konnte. Fernando war ein sehr entgegenkommender und überaus freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Check-in sowie Check-out liefen ganz problemlos ab. Die Lage der Villa ist ebenfalls super, man erreicht in wenigen Fahrminuten schöne Strände sowie kleinere sehenswerte Städte. Wir können die Villa Charme wärmstens empfehlen und bedanken uns noch einmal ganz herzlich bei Fernando!

Villa Charme doet zijn naam eer aan!

We waren met onze familie in de leeftijd van 85 tot 6 maanden. De ontvangst door Fernando was al direct zodanig dat we ons gelijk thuis voelden. We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Een heerlijk zwembad en van alle faciliteiten voorzien om de dag met elkaar door te brengen. Ook een prima uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te verkennen of naar attracties te gaan. We hebben met elkaar mooie herinneringen om op terug te kijken. Nogmaals bedankt Fernando!

Gut – Besser – Villa Charme

Unser Aufenthalt in der Villa Charme war rundum perfekt. Wir waren mit 11 Erwachsenen dort und haben eine wundervolle Unterkunft vorgefunden, die noch besser ist, als es die Fotos wiedergeben können. Das Haus hat alles, was das Herz begehrt und man für eine erholsame Zeit benötigt – und sogar noch mehr. Pool, Fitnessstudio, Tischtennisplatte und diverse zur Verfügung stehende Spiel- und Sportmöglichkeiten sorgen für eine Menge Spaß und Abwechslung. Unser Highlight war die neben dem Pool gelegene Chill-out-area mit Sitzsäcken und Hängematte sowie der große Außentisch, an dem wir alle Platz gefunden haben. Die Küche ist ebenfalls sehr gut ausgestattet und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Alle Zimmer waren gemütlich und sauber. Es stehen Handtücher, Bettwäsche und sogar Badehandtücher für den Pool zur Verfügung. Einziges Manko, wenn man es überhaupt so nennen möchte, sind die doch recht lauten Türen und hellhörigen Wände im gesamten Haus, was uns jedoch nicht weiter gestört hat. Fernando ist ein perfekter und aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Er stand uns sowohl im Vorfeld als auch während unseres Aufenthalts jederzeit zur Verfügung. Er ermöglichte uns sogar einen frühen Check-In, durch den wir einen ganzen Urlaubstag gewonnen haben. Wir können einen Aufenthalt in der Villa Charme ohne Einschränkung empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder!

Uma semana fantástica!! Casa muito bem equipada, decorada com muito bom gosto, nenhum pormenor foi deixado ao acaso. Ideal para grupos com ou sem crianças. Uma semana não chegou para usufruir de todas as valências que a casa possui. O proprietário sempre disponível.

August 2019 - 6 adults and 6 Children

We were a family of 12 (2 gradparents, 4 parents and 6 children). The house was amazing and exactly how it was described. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2week stay and are even thinking about returning here as it had everything that you needed and more. We had some lovely evening sat in the garden eating bbq food. Would highly recommend this Villa and Fernando is a lovely host

Amazing Experience

Fernando, the owner of the house, had a warm welcome for us. Good explanation about the house, great tips about the area, a full fruit basket, wine and strawberries in the fridge! Awesome. Enthusiastic host who is ready for his guests! The house: We stayed here with 6 adults and 6 children. And that went fine. Nice rooms and bathrooms. Good full kitchen. good working air conditioning. Unfortunately in 1 bedroom there was no air conditioning. The whole house stands on a spacious plot with many play options for children. Lots of privacy. The swimming pool and garden are well maintained. Nice and cool water! Enough shade and opportunities for sunbathing. The outside BBQ is also doing well. In the evening the mosquitoes can keep you company, keep that in mind. Inside the house, with some discipline, you will not be bothered by mosquitoes! Enough parking places for 3 cars. The approach route is on a dangerous road. So pay attention! Bakery and supermarket nearby (with car). Several beautiful beaches and villages are easily accessible by car. All in all we had a fantastic holiday!
