Wir hatten das Glueck , diese ungewoehnliche Villa zu entdecken, danz anders als so viele andere. Wir hatten eine herrliche Woche in einem authentisch portugiesischen Dorf , weit weg von den touristischen Gebieten , aber nur wenige Gehminuten von herrlichen einsamen Straenden und praehistorischen Staetten . Die Villa war sehr sauber, komfortabel und gut ausgestattet , und die Gaerten und Pool waren sehr gepflegt und ganz privat . Die Angestellten waren aesserst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die umfangreichen Blicke in beide Richtungen waren herrlich, abwechslungsreich, und mit viel Wild, insbesondere mit einer Vielzahl von Voegeln , mit mehreren verschiedenen Greifvoegeln. Es gibt kein Nachtleben im Dorf abgesehen von zwei einfachen (ausgezeichneten) Restaurants. ( Jungenlich koennten es langweilig finden, obwohl sie vielleicht auch die Freuden der sanfteren Genuesse entdecken wuerden. ) Wir werden auf jeden Fall zurueckcommen und hoffen, dass der Massentourismus diesen idyllischen Ort nie erreichen wird.
Casa dos Arcos sits on a high point in a village which has avoided the blights of mass tourism. Its walled garden and swimming pool area are bedecked with flowering shrubs and trees which produce an irresistible combination of scents and colours. Pleasant walks lead to unfrequented, unspoilt beaches. Winds from the Atlantic ensure the Algarve's heat is moderated.Simple restaurants serve fresh cuisine ( especially fish) and local wines. To summarise; anyone wishing to escape to a quieter and slower way of life should head to Casa dos Arcos!
This delightful villa is in an old and atmospheric Portugese village, well away from most tourists. The villa is charming, elegant and authentic. The traditional bedrooms and facilities are simple but entirely adequate. The delightful sitting room has a superbly light and sunny outlook; its terrace overlooking the garden and pool is most inviting and a wonderful place for indulgent lunches. This villa is highly recommended (except for those seeking very luxurious modern accommodation).
The location is delightful: in a village that still remains largely undeveloped and overlooking open fields in one direction and with a long view from the terrace, across village rooftops to the not-so-distant coast, in the other. There's a beautiful beach reached via a lovely country walk. The village has an excellent - and-amazing-value - restaurant within easy walking distance of the house and there's plenty to do and see in the area. All facilities that one could sensibly require are present; the rooms are generously-sized and the garden is delightful, including a secluded and good-sized pool. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Highly recommended!
Absolutely amazing to be able to find a place with unspoilt scenery and very good amenities. The Villa was perfect with a beautiful pool that is cleaned regularly. Many places within easy walking distance. Fantastic
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa dos Arcos. The quiet location and the spacious living accommodation, not to mention the lovely pool, really made our stay in Portugal memorable. Figueira is one of the few unspoilt places on the South West coast of Portugal and one of the highlights was walking to Figueria beach, wonderfully remote and no other souls to be found, I suppose you sacrifice remoteness for lack of amenities. However there were other beaches nearby with facilities and restaurants with some great shell fish. The description of the villa was accurate and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We ate out most evenings but the kitchen was well appointed for the evenings we decided to stay in. The local supermarket was excellent and very inexpensive compared to the UK. I have passed on the details to several friends and look forward to returning next year.
