Casa da Aldeia

Quirky, shabby chic style. Very pretty outside spaces. Host was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

Exit straight onto road and oncoming traffic. WiFi and hot water both intermittent!

Incredible place! Made with love and care. Super lovely garden. And a nice swimming pool. Highly recommended! Alex is a fantastic host.

A Casa da Aldeia foi uma excelente surpresa, bem localizada, fácil de chegar, e muito bem recebidos pelo proprietário Alex. Ficamos no quarto mais pequeno, assim disse o proprietário que para nós foi mais do que suficiente. Alex serviu-nos diariamente um excelente pequeno almoço a hora marcada, deu-nos imensas dicas para desfrutarmos ao máximo. O espaço está repleto de detalhes, simples mas extremamente acolhedor, não falta nada! Obrigado Casa da Aldeia, Alex, vamos voltar e..para a penthouse, o nosso quarto já está escolhido!

Alex, the host was very friendly and had tons of useful tips which made the stay more pleasant. We got to see the not to touristic but very beautiful side of the Algarve!

Better matrasses is a must, but that's just that...

The location was perfect, I was able to drive to four restaurants that were nearby and which were all excellent in their own way. The Wi-Fi was perfect.

Although we did not need aircon (we were there during June) I wonder whether aircon would be needed/required during the hot time of the year (July and August). It would have been nice to have a Television.

Much nicer than we expected! Alex (our host) lives at the property and was very welcoming and friendly. We didn't arrive from the airport until around 10pm, but he was there to greet us and show us to our lovely room, perched high atop the main building, with its own quite spacious patio/flat roof area outside. Our room (with ensuite shower) was just large enough for the two of us and it was simply and artistically furnished. There were 2 large windows with views over the rooftops down to the sea or to the hills above. The double bed was comfortable and we slept well. Breakfast wasn't included in our booking, but Alex (our host) offered us a very lavish and healthy continental breakfast with homemade jams etc. for an extra €10 or €12 each, which we gladly accepted as the high level patio outside our room is delightful, with many flowering plants and an an arbour. A very pleasant eating area. We really enjoyed our very short stay and would highly recommend Casa da Aldeia.

Nothing! However, we were lucky with the parking, and it might be trickier when the season is busier. Also there is a long, steep, outside staircase to the room we stayed in, which is a bit of a clamber, but there are other rooms on the ground floor.

Decor, host, setting.

Parking was on the street and it was crowded. The neighbour next door has a very noisy party until 3am that kept us awake. We didn't here the host trying to quieten them down as we expected. The room was smaller than expected and most of the outdoor facilities were shared. The rooftop terrace outside our window we expected to be exclusive.

Beautiful roof terrace(?) with an astounding view. Alex, the host, is very helpful. We had an astounding breakfast on the roof, with home made youghurt, tsatsiki, jam and marmelade. Toast and scrambled eggs. There’s a tiny pool, and the garden is well maintained and in May, everything is flowering. Absolutely perfect for couples.

Very neat and clean property with wonderful terrace to relax on with a view down over Faro City. Very friendly Dutch owners who were quick to reply to all our messages and greet us on arrival to explain everything clearly.

I’m a fairly big guy so I would have liked longer and wider bed but it was still comfortable and clean. The pretty apartment is just off one of the busier residential streets so you might hear cars/bikes at night if you are a light sleeper. Ear plug were provided free of charge which was a great consideration.
