Holiday Rentals in Aivados e Fontes

This ‘gem’ of a property is located in the relaxing, countryside of the beautiful Algarve. Cidália was the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble. The pool was great, we used it a lot and the games room was great fun. João, Cidálias’ son was just starting to launch a catering business and cooked us a delicious traditional Portuguese meal accompanied with Cocktails, (extra of course), perfect for a “night off”.

The outside space, the quirkiness and the ambience! My son had the time of his life pretending he was a bus driver :)

Everything was very clean and tidy. The owners are very kind and responsive and resolved a hot water issue quickly. Sports facilities are fantastic - not brand new, but all are working. We were 3 families with kids and enjoyed playing fussball, table tennis, pool, volleyball in the front garden, chess and others. Fireplace is also great, and we used it every day. The house is big and spacious. Will definitely come back.

We spent a wonderful 1-week holiday at the tiny house. The house is nestled away in the hinterland of the Algarve in a very small, quiet village, in the middle of a permaculture food forest garden. You share the garden with the two hosts, chickens, cats and many birds and lots of plants, of course. It's very relaxing to wake up early with the animals and enjoy the sun and breakfast on the private tiny house terrasse. A chicken or two might pop by to check if you dropped something yummy to eat. They are really cude and friendly. The hosts, very kind twin sisters from France, respect your privacy and will leave you alone, if this is what you desire, or engage with you with a wide open heart, if you signal an interest in getting to know them and learn more about their project. In fact, we were promptly invited to a delicious home-made pizza on their own terrasse and had a lovely evening together. The tiny house itself is very simple but cosy, especially the sleeping loft. We didn't use the kitchen much, except for preparing breakfast, but cooking dinner would also not be a problem. There is a stove and oven and even some condiments to use. You might want to be aware that the house features a dry toilet, e.g. a bucket with woodchips. It takes some getting used to seeing your "donations". In the end it became a weirdly peaceful routine to take the bucket with the liquids, add some water and grace some plants with nutrients. As for the more solid parts, you just add woodchips and drop everything off in a designated dry toilet compost bin, thereby contributing to a nutrient cycle being closed eventually. The house is very stategically located for some wonderful day trips to Sagres, Monchique, Alte, Olhao, Faro, Lagos, etc. And if you feel like staying in the permaculture paradise you can choose to enjoy a wonderfully relaxing Ayurvedic massage or a one-on-one yoga lesson in an absolutely beautiful yurt.

The Vila is absolutely fantastic, with all that you need to spend a couple of days relaxed with the family. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, there are several toilets and the dining room is well furnished, as well as the Kitchen ware. The outside garden allow for eating outside (all meals) and there is a grill. You can park the car inside the Vila in complete safety. The highlight of this Vila is for sure the amazing location and the swimming pool, which allow for complete privacy. The owners take care that you feel at home and are always looking to provide you with all amenities.

Nice quiet location in the middle of the orange groves. Plenty of space and comfortable. Host Silvia checked in with us to make sure everything was fine and if we needed anything. Muito obrigado Silvia once again 🙂
