Relaxing rural escape

We had a great time at Casa Dominica. Lovely spacious villa, immaculately clean with beautiful gardens. Situated down an unmade road but within easy driving distance to all the lovely coastal towns and fishing villages of the eastern Algarve. Warm enough to use the pool which was refreshing. Plenty of areas for sun and shade all day.

Fabulous Family Holiday

We have just returned from a fantastic 10 days at Villa Dominica. The villa was beautifully clean on arrival and the mid-point clean was appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped and the outside areas offer a variety of sun and shade. The roof terrace is amazing - particularly enjoyed in the evenings for star gazing in the coolness Richard and Treasa were really helpful with local knowledge and any villa questions. Plenty to see in the local area and the fiat Panda even managed the track to the villa! We would love to return on day. Thank you

Beautiful, peaceful villa in the algarve countryside

What a beautiful Villa! Tucked away in a peaceful, secluded area just outside Moncarapacho, the villa was really well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The villa itself is clean and spacious, with a gorgeous pool and surrounding gardens. Can't think of a thing that would make it better other than being there longer! Would definitely return.

SECLUDED STAY

Villa Dominico is beautifully situated in a quiet location a couple of miles outside the village of Moncarapacho. The property is spacious and comfortable with a large kitchen diner, a big garden including a patio and swimming pool. We stayed in February and took advantage of the south facing veranda to soak up some much needed sunshine. Although the evenings were understandably cool the wood burner provided plenty of warmth for the lounge. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering, though Moncarapacho does host two small supermarkets and several restaurants which while not haute cuisine, provide delicious and reasonably priced food. The Apetit in particular offers excellent Tapas. Nearby Fuseta has an excellent beach and restaurants while Olhao, Tavira and Loule are all nearby and worth visiting. There are a couple of neighbouring properties to the villa but the blissful peace and quiet was never disturbed. Obviously because of its location, a vehicle is a prerequisite. We would happily return to Villa Dominico.

Lovely property in a tranquil location

Our group of 4 stayed at Casa Dominic late August 2023. After each busy day of sight seeing it was a pleasure to return to the home for a swim in the pool and enjoy the sunsets from the roof. We found the home exactly as described and the host responded quickly to any queries. Highly recommended for those wishing for a quiet stay in a private setting.

Mooie villa, rustig gelegen, net geen vijf sterren

Heerlijk huis, fijn zwembad en tal van plekken om in de schaduw te zitten. Omgeving is interessant, op kleine afstand (15 min rijden) van mooie stranden. Keuken is ruim, met aparte tafel. Ik zou vijf sterren gegeven hebben als de uitrusting iets completer was geweest. Voor dit geld verwacht ik echter wel een iets hogere standaard: pannen (m’n koekenpannen) waren klein en wat oud, klein koffiezetapparaat, weinig handdoeken (één kleine theedoek). Kledingkasten waren niet schoon bij aankomst. Handdoeken werden halverwege gewisseld, maar één was rafelig en versleten. In tegenstelling tot wat vermeld wordt in beschrijving is geen smart-tv aanwezig, dus streamen kan er niet, eigen muziek spelen via streamen evenmin. Dus overall een positieve ervaring, met kleine kanttekening.

Tranquil week away in Portugal

We had a lovely stay in Moncarapacho. This house is a home away from home with all the equipment you need for a week away. It’s close enough to all the beaches/attractions whilst being remote enough to have a very relaxing and peaceful time in the hills, with little noise from the outside world. My son especially loved the swimming pool; cold to start with but you got used to the temperature quickly. I’m sure it probably is warmer in the summer - it was 22 degrees when we were there (Beginning of April). We really enjoyed our first holiday together abroad and we want to thank the owners for allowing us to use their beautiful home, giving us a chance to relax. The only thing missing was a cheese-grater!

Excellent again

This is the second time we have stayed at the villa, which I think says a lot. It really is excellent. The property is excellent quality, with a recently updated kitchen. The location is about 20 mins from Olhao, which has a shopping centre, plus Lidl, Aldi etc. Bars, restaurants, boat tours. About 25 mins from Tavira, which is a beautiful old town. There is a local shop where you can get all the necessities in Moncarapacho (7 mins drive via the gravel road, which is a bit bumpy) The property is spacious, clean, good quality and has a nice pool and gardens. The booking process and communication are excellent and timely via the owner Dominic, the property rep/manager Teresa visited 3 times during the visit to check the pool and provided some information we had requested. All in all, another fantastic trip, we would highly recommend!

Sun, swallows and silence.

The villa/bungalow is very spacious - both inside and outside. My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay here, for all of the above. The swallows were a great source of entertainment as they swooped onto the pool's surface for a drink or an insect. We can only imagine the garden looking beautiful in cooler weather, when everything is flowering and not so dry. Both supermarkets offer what's needed for self-catering. We enjoyed meals at Colibri and Antonio - would highly recommend the latter. A great base for exploring whatever you want in the area - everywhere is easily accessible. On arrival and during our stay we needed to contact the local rep(s) who were quick and helpful with their assistance. Highly recommended if you're happy to stay somewhere a bit more 'off-grid', like we do.

Lovely villa in peaceful surroundings.

This was our second visit to Casa Dominica. The villa has had some upgrades including a new bathroom and kitchen, and the wifi is now suburb. The location is peaceful and yet within easy reach of a local shop, restaurants and fantastic beaches . The information in the guide written by Dominic is an invaluable source of information for beaches and restaurants. Thanks again Dominic. We will be back.

Wonderful restful break

Lovely Villa , situated about 10mins drive from very beautiful village about 20 mins from Faro . A couple of things could be upgraded; sun loungers and covers had seen better days . The Owners representative came up unannounced to get the BBQ out so we could use it . She should not have bothered! Definitely needs replacing. Everything you needed for cooking and washing was in the Villa . A new kitchen and two new shower rooms . Bed and bed linens really need to be of a better quality. For us as a couple; this was a really wonderful place to come for a relaxing and peaceful stay ; with a beautiful pool . Please ask the representative to contact the Clients ; before visiting the Villa . Some people value their privacy! Would definitely return and would recommend (despite a couple of improvements that could be made ) .

Relaxing stay...

This villa is in a fairly undeveloped area with a dirt track of about a mile however this didn't bother us at all. I was made aware the day before we arrived that there was a construction for a new property approx 250 yards from the villa, there is some noise but during our stay this wasn't too bad & didn't impact on the peace we were expecting. The villa is in a good location roughly 20minutes from Tavira which is just lovely. Inside the villa is spacious & comfortable & very private. It would benefit from some updated bed linen, particularly the pillows & some items of cookware. Although the villa was clean it wasn't spotless and the outside needs some maintenance & possibly an outside pool shower. Nothing that would prevent us from returning though. Teresa was on hand by text if we needed anything and respected our privacy. All in all we had a lovely holiday.

Superb villa, pool & garden

First of all, a big thank you to Treasa & Richard for the excellent written directions from the airport to the supermarket, where we met Richard & he then guided us to the villa. Also, thank you to them both for getting the provisions we requested in advance, for their help during our stay & for keeping the pool so clean. We loved the villa, & could relax in both sun & shade on the terrace overlooking the pool & garden. The beds were comfortable & the air conditioning in the bedrooms useful in the first week. The lounge was cosy in the late evenings when the nights got a bit cooler in the second week. The kitchen had everything one could want & the table well-positioned so that we could see the outside area when the sun was too hot to sit outside at breakfast time! (You’d need to be tall to reach the ceiling fan!). The awning provided just the right amount of extra shade for lunch. Liquid soaps in the bathrooms & kitchen were a nice extra touch, as was the provision of pool towels. If only we could transplant it all to a location a bit nearer Moncarapacho! The rough road was negotiable with care, but longer than I’d anticipated. The village proved to be ideal for us as well, with several restaurants & supermarkets. The nearest supermarket is fine & has adequate parking. Richard recommended the restaurant “A Caravela “, which is in the same block as the supermarket, & we can certainly endorse his recommendation - the food is superb. We can also recommend “Da Ana’ & “O Cortiço” on the square by the church. We couldn’t get over the low prices!

A week in East Portugal

We had a lovely week at Casa Dominica. The house is very relaxing, has a great outside space for eating with BBQ, and a roof top terrace perfect for the early morning sun. Car is essential as the house is at the end of a long rough track. Well located for travelling around the east Algarve with fantastic beaches within 20 minutes drive. We would definitely recommend and would love to return.

The villa was everything we hoped for. A beautiful villa in fantastic surroundings, a feeling of remoteness yet only a short drive from amenities. The villa is a good size, the bedrooms are spacious with good (quiet) aircon. The kitchen is adequate, shower rooms are nice, lounge is comfortable but doesn’t have air con. The pool and outside areas are fantastic, in fact our daughters (aged 8 and 5) spent all their time in the pool. From the minute we arrived we felt at home and relaxed. The location is perfect if you want to be away from other people and views are fabulous (as is the lack of light pollution for star gazing), the gravel road was bumpy but fine. Overall we were delighted with the villa, the perfect place to kick back and relax.
