“We had a short but extremely pleasant stay in this house. Ian was wonderful at communicating all the details with us and always prompt to reply to messages. They ensured we had all the comforts we needed upon arrival with a lovely fire burning to welcome us. (We were unlucky with the weather!), The house is spacious and there is a beautiful garden and we loved it so much, we hope to return. Thanks to the gracious hosts. ”
“This was a dream villa on a beautiful location. We had a great time in the pool and the house was very comfortable. The Algarve does the rest. Food, sun, sea and splendid beaches. ”
“We absolutely loved our stay at Ian's home at the Algarve. The house is in a perfect location for a relaxing summer holiday There couldn't be a better place to spend some time at the numerous incredibly beautiful beaches and at the gorgeous pool. The house itself is stunning and has everything you could possibly need and it's meticulously clean. It's the most comfortable place you can imagine for a holiday with lots of space in and outdoor. Ian is a fantastic host, extremely helpful and a very generous person. Furthermore, he is a very reliable and trustworthy swap partner. Communication has always worked smoothly from the very start. Ian, thank you very much for a great and successful holiday. We can only warmly recommend your home and truly hope that we will be able to welcome you at our place too in the future.”

Thank you for Fernanda, the house lady who took very good care of us. The big pool was great with nice temperature, perfect for end of October. There was an informative order about things to do in the area. We absolute want to come back to Portugal , Algarve coast and to Ians´s house. ”
