Nice

Charl and Suzanne from Berkshire: This was the best family-holiday we've ever been on and outstanding value for money too! A combination of spot-on architecture and decor makes the visitor feel relaxed immediately upon stepping through the door. Everything has been thought of for you and your family to start enjoying yourselves instantly upon arrival. The cleaning service leaves you free to enjoy more time with the children. The facilities are excellent and mostly free.

My partner and I visited Casa Iona in September 2008. We are in our 30's and were looking for a comfortable place to get away to with easy access to beaches, restaurants and local villages. The property is beautifully appointed and has every amenity that you could require (washing machine, dishwasher, TV with Freeview). Inside the property is tastefully decorated, well maintained and very comfortable. There is a sunny veranda where we had breakfast and dinner (with locally brought fresh fish). The town itself is walkable and has some wonderful restaurants and shops which sell local produce. The locals were very friendly and always willing to sit and chat with you and tell you about the area and all the good things to see and do. We hired a car and visited different beaches, the variety of which was asounding, from small coves to large stretches with calm waters, to larger stretches with surfers. The complex has its own shop and provides daily entertainment if interested, we were invited to play volleyball. It is one of those places where there is plenty to do if you want it or you can easily find your own space and chill out. We loved it and will definately be back.

My wife and I celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary at Casa Iona. It was fantastic and the villa a wonderfully secluded and peaceful place to relax and celebrate. The villa is superbly presented, prettily positioned and within an easy and interesting walk from Carvoeiro. We enjoyed breakfasts on the patio, lounging by the pool and sampled many of the local restaurants. The weather was excellent for our stay, so much so that we were glad of the air-conditioning that the villa enjoys. Whether for a family or just a couple, this is a great place to holiday with lots of interesting places and stunning beaches close by and we highly recommend it. We'll definitely visit Casa Iona again. Paul

We had a great holiday in the algarve in July'07. i travelled with my husband, son (16yrs) and daughter(11yrs). We were all very surprised at the quality of the accomadation, it was beautiful. The villa was very spacious, clean and fully equipped. The country club itself was also very clean and pretty. The entertainment on site was poor but we found the village had lots on in the evening. I would certainly recommend this villa and would like to go back again sometime in the future
