Réal C., Oct, 2017
7 Year(s) ago Stayed a few nights
We are a group of 6 friends that has rented the Casa de Ferreira villa from the 11th to the 18th of October 2017. We absolutely loved our stay from the first to the last minute. The villa is large, magnificent and very comfortable. We have also enjoyed the enchanting domain. The villa is surrounded by a vineyard, apple trees, orange trees, kiwi bushes, persimmon trees, yellow and green lemon trees that we appreciated in a few dishes. We have also tasted some dished prepared by Paula, the governess, on two occasions. Everyone was pleased. Finally, we thank the owners Adelaide et Alexandra Cruz, who have made the renting process very easy and who have been absolutely charming hosts. We would return to this place that dreams are made of in a heartbeat if the opportunity arose. ---- Nous sommes un groupe de 6 amis qui avons loué la villa Casa de Ferreira du 11 au 18 octobre 2017. Nous avons adoré notre séjour de la première à la dernière minute. La villa est grande, magnifique et très confortable. Nous avons également joui du domaine enchanteresque. La villa et entourée d’un vignoble, de pommier, d’orangers, de kiwi (actinidias), de plaqueminiers kaki, de citroniers jaune et verts dont nous avons profité dans quelques mets. Nous avons aussi dégusté les mets de Paula, la gouvernante, à deux occasions. Tous se sont régalé. Finalement, nous remercions les propriétaires Adelaïde et Alexandra Cruz, qui ont rendu très facile la location du site et qui ont été des hôtes absolument charmants. Nous retournerions tous à ce site de rêve si l’occasion s’en présentait.

Clean Beautiful home! I happened to mention it was my birthday weekend and they went out of their way to leave me a cake!! My family and I had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend this rental!
- Jaz Strong
I have been extremely impressed with 5 Star Villa Holidays from the first interaction. They have answered all of my questions promptly, made suggestions and booked my vacation villa within a
day. The price was excellent and even better than I found with various other major villa rental companies. Plus their expertise and quick response times to my questions have been outstanding.
Our incredible vacation home is booked and I will be looking at this company in the future for my rental needs.
- Jennifer Moore
We booked this villa last October for a family holiday based on the website and location, so along
came Covid-19 and we delayed the completion, then came the air bridge, but then came the ban
again, which meant cancelling the booking.
5Star Villas could not be more accommodating and allowed us to rebook for 2021. Throughout the
booking process they were very quick to reply and provide all information requested. If the villa is as
good as their service we are due a great holiday.
