Market research has encouraged us to change from a daily maid service to three days per week as guests apparently prefer to maximise their privacy. However, if guests prefer a daily maid service it can be provided at no extra cost. Telephone and e-mail facilities are available at the owners house which is conveniently nearby but entirely separate from Casa Escondida. Bedrooms and lounge are equipped with ceiling fans. There is a full size badminton court in the garden. The Casa Escondida Book which you will find in the house,gives details and instructions on daytrips and how to get around cxentral Algarve

Review Submitted: December 06, 2007, Date of stay: December, 2007

12th July-26th July 2007. Had a lovely holiday. Villa superb....website doesn't do it justice. John always on hand but never intrusive...could not have been more hospitable or helpful. Accommodation and pool spotless. Two weeks not enough...we'll just need to come back !! The Thomsons, South Queensbury, Scotland. 5July 2007. We have been here for three weeks. What a smashing house and garden. Had a wonderful time and will definitely be back !! Gus and Sue Petrie, Dundee Scotland, Loved the villa. It was lovely to be greeted with such a warm welcome even though we arrived late at night!! John and Anna Brookfield 21st-27th October 2005. A lovely holiday..very relaxing. The description of Casa Escondida on the web does not do justice to the reality. A very warm welcome awaits you at Casa Escondida......everything you need....just bring yourself !! Something to look forward top next year when we have booked for a month
Sheila and Mike Dalton 30th September -21st October 2006
