This villa is absolutely amazing with everything that you would need to make your stay perfect. Initially we were a family of 3 with a teenager and then joined for a few days we had another two visitors who were young adults. Firstly, all the bedrooms are large and airy with aircon, window shutters and black out curtains, bath and hand towel provided for each guest and beds made on arrival. The two larger rooms (doubles) have an unsuited, with the twin rooms sharing either the family bathroom or the shower room just down the hall. The living/dining room is a great space and opens out to the pool area with tables, chairs, sunloungers, bbq, washing line, beautiful garden and a lovely view. The kitchen area again is large with everything that you need for that perfect dinner prep. Off the kitchen is the utility room with a further fridge freezer which we used for drinks etc, pool towels, washing machine, seat and lounger cushions etc. The basement area (garage) has the pool table (many a great game was had by us all), table tennis, football table, two sofa and multiple board games.
Although the villa is up in the hills and away from it all, it is a great place to spend a holiday and not too far by car to local towns and villages. With plenty of places in the surrounding area to eat you will be spoilt for choice - believe me when I say, you will not be disappointed. The local bistro is a definite must, we walked there the first time (it was far too hot) so the second time we drove. It is advisable if going at night to book a table as you never know how busy it will get - our 2nd visit was so busy people were waiting for tables. Remember, there is no local shop that you can just walk too the.pick up milk or bread, but that did not bother us in the slightest. The local manager Ines is lovely as is the pool/maintenance man - they are there to help if any problems or issues and to give advise on the villa etc
I would highly recommend this lovely villa and would definitely visit again I'd given the chance.

Beautiful Family Villa Holiday
We recently stayed at this beautiful family villa, and it exceeded all our expectations! The villa was stunning, with generous sized rooms and the most comfortable beds.
A warm welcome made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.
The fully-equipped kitchen and comfortable living areas were perfect for family gatherings. The outdoor space was a highlight, featuring a pristine pool, lush gardens, and a charming patio area where we enjoyed many meals together with a welcome area for shade. The location was ideal, giving us the peace to read, rest, relax and eat.
The hosts communications were fantastic and very informative, ensuring we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Their attention to detail and thoughtful touches, like a welcome basket with local goodies, made our holiday even more special.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we can't wait to return to this little slice of paradise!

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.

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!

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!
