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

A sunny week at a perfect villa

Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We have just got back home from a brilliant week at Casa Escondida - what a find! It is just perfect; clean, quiet, well equipped, excellently maintained and just the perfect place to spend a relaxing holiday. My 2 boys, aged 9 and 6, loved the pool, which was the cleanest and most well maintained pool we have ever had. We have visited the area before and completely fallen in love with it and finding this villa has meant that we are planning to go back again next year - for 3 weeks this time though, as 1 week just flew past. I can't recommend this place strongly enough, I shall be passing on the details to all family and friends.

Casa Escondida

bethal Bradford West Yorkshire
Review Submitted: September 7, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We enjoyed the villa in June 2009 very much. Private but not to isolated and John was on hand if you needed any help or advice. The salt water pool was lovely spent a lot of time in it. The villa had everything we wanted and spotless. The welcoming pack was more than expected, along with white and red wine. John has thought of everything. We enjoyed it so much we have booked again for next june.

Review Submitted: September 5, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This villa is a true home from home, everything has been thought of for your comfort. You arrive to a welcome from John who is ever helpful throughout your stay but not intrusive. He provides an excellent services for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. The welcome pack is well thought out to see you through until you get to the shops.
I would recommend Casa Escondida to anyone,this was our second stay and you haven't seen the last of us John.

A little piece of heaven on earth.

English Canuck Penetanguishene,Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: May 7, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We would like to let you know how much we enjoyed our 4 week stay, mid February to mid March 2009. After 12 years of booking self catering from New Zealand through the Caribbean and Europe we can honestly say we have never stayed anywhere as beautiful and tranquil as your Casa. Your attention to detail was superb, requests for assistance were attended to within minutes of contact. The villa is stupendous and we now miss the quiet evenings by the fireside. The proximity of the villa to both the beauty of the Algarve beaches and the wonderful hill country enabled us to see both the modern and the old Algarve. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to visit your Casa and learn a little more of life in such a setting. We will return.

Great Holiday in Lovely Location

Review Submitted: September 26, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Just returned from Casa Escondida where four of us had a wonderful, relaxed holiday. The villa is very comfortable and has lovely views over the countryside to the sea. John was always on hand to help with queries and made us all feel very welcome. We will definitely return.

Review Submitted: August 2, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
The property was much better than described. John and Rogelia were unbelievabe hosts doing everything to make our stay a memorable one. The home was extremely clean and well maintained. We can't wait to make a return trip, and would not hesitate recommending this propery to friends and family. Their are many excellent restaurants and attractions in the area. We only had time visit a few, and enjoyed them all.
