What an oasis of solitude that is close to everything without being disturbed by crowds. We felt like we had the best of everything and felt lucky to have been able to secure our stay. It is a gem of a VRBO. João facilitated the stay, check in and made a point to meet and visit with us. We really did not want to leave and were sorry that we hadn’t scheduled more time. His wife spent a lot of time helping us with suggestions and directions to all the local sites. If you’re going to Faro or the algarve, this is the place to stay. Schedule early because you don’t want to miss out on this place. Thank you, João and Sabina!

Perfect place to explore the surroundings
The property is a small house next to the owners home. It is set in beautiful mature Algarve gardens. The swimming pool is gorgeous and is for sole use of guests. Even though the place is beautiful, it is also a good idea to explore the area. Everything is around a 20 minute drive. Perfect location and stunning beaches everywhere. I absolutely recommend it.

Can't wait to go back to Tres Alfarobbeiras
We had an absolutely fabulous holiday at Tres Alfarobbeiras! The charming spacious loft is situated smack bang in the middle of all the wonderful things the Algarve has to offer. The extremely scenic mountains start right in the backyard, many secluded beaches are just a short 20 minute drive away, the small charming and typical Algarve towns of SaoBras and Tavira are on your left and right and if you prefer a more lively city with entertainment and a large market, Loulé is just 10 k away. The loft has everything you can possibly need for a comfortable extended stay like a fully equiped kitchen with a large fridge and a large freezer, a washing machine, an airco, excellent wifi and so on. but what makes this rental home the best is the snug and homey atmosphere and the tranquil space outside with a lovely pool and even a secluded private sun deck on the roof right outside your bedroom. And then there are the wonderful and hospitable hosts Joao and Sabine. They are really fantastic! Need a heater or a drying rack? Just one short Whatsapp message and they immediately react to your needs. When we stayed there it was oranges harvest time and they gave us so much oranges that we drank fresh pressed orange juice each morning for three weeks! They even invited us to come celebrate labor day together with their family and friends on a day trip to the mountains, stopping also at an amazing restaurant (best wild bore I ever had!) and a labor day fiesta. We can't wait to go back...

Magnifique propriété
Nous avons passé une magnifique semaine dans la propriété de Joao et Sabina, qui sont d'ailleurs très accueillants, sympathiques et de bons conseils pour pouvoir profiter au mieux de notre séjour au Portugal. La maison est ultra propre à l'arrivée, l'équipement est parfait pour une famille. La piscine est idéale. Il y a la climatisation et c'est un plus ! Localisé dans un petit coin tranquille, nous étions au calme, à une petite demie heure de beaucoup de choses à faire. Il faut donc prendre la voiture mais ce n'est pas une contrainte quand une belle piscine chaude et des transats vous attendent au retour ...

Nous avons apprécié le calme du site, son cadre et sa belle piscine qui ont ravi les enfants. Des accès directs pour aller en ville, à la mer, à la montagne . De plus le soleil était au rendez-vous, ce qui nous a permis de vivre en extérieur. Les hôtes João et Sabrina sont très sympathiques et disponibles si besoin. Je recommande vivement.
