It‘s a pittoresque renovated old farm house with many lovely details. The host was very friendly an provided us with regional food and whine. We had the first floor and the basement, the pool with its large patio was great, always clean and illuminted at night.
Really nearly nothing, but perhaps on should know that the two bedrooms are side by side, so when the kids should sleep the parents had to be quiet (or outside). The bed though nice and antique is quite small and noisy.

Loved absolutely everything. It was our first visit to Portugal. Helder, the host was amazing! He went over and above our expectations, collected us at the Airport and took us a tour of this lovely village, showing us nice places to eat, shop etc. He then took us down around Villamoura, and showed us the beautiful Marina.
Once we made it back to to villa he took the time to show us around and how to use the appliances etc. He also went to the bother of providing a 'Welcome Pack' which consisted of ham, cheese, bread, beer, water, wine and little cakes which were delicious.
The villa itself is quite big with a stunning patio and pool. It's very quiet, which was just what we were after. It's very authentic with beautiful old furniture and gorgeous paintings which were painted by Helders wife.
I didn't like that we only booked a week hahahaha
WE LOVED EVERYTHING ❤️

We liked the location, the pool was a Godsend during those hot days and the light meal that was provided upon arrival was an excellent touch.
We didn't like that there wasn't a handrail to get in and out of the pool. When we mentioned it to the owner, he assured us that there would be one installed ASAP

We had a wonderful time, and what a beautiful apartment! We stayed on the 1st floor, with a beautiful authentic entrance. The rooms were nicely furnished, great beds, and clean. A huge bathroom, and a kitchen with everything you need.
We both tried the pools, since we were the only guests for a short period, and we enjoyed them a lot. Thank you so much Helder, for all your help and your kindness.

Excellent accommodation within easy distance of the coast. Toiletries and basic kitchen supplies were included.
Everything was excellent.
We were in the upstairs apartment - the stairs to the swimming pool would not suit those with mobility issues.

We loved the authentic Portugese holiday villa in the quant village of Boliqueime. Helder is a wonderful and engaging host and provided local treats (bear, cheese, bread and more) upon our arrival. The villa (1st floor) is spacious with great views, and your own pool! I loved watching the wind blowing in the tree and the birds chirping from our bed, and hearing the church bell every half an hour. The linen, including swimming towels were fresh and spotless. The espresso coffee maker was a winner. The kitchen is well equipped. Parking is available in the street in front of the villa most of the time.
The villa is really suited to sleep 4 people comfortably. The 5th sleeping option, a single seater that doubles as a bed, is not that comfortable but can work for a child. Fortunately we were 4 people. The steep steps down to the swimming pool may not be everybody's cup of tea.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Helder Jácome's property. He made us feel very welcome and left us delicious bread, cheese, and wine. We were accommodated for a late check-in as our flight arrived around 9pm. The property has everything we needed for our week long stay. Everything was immaculately clean. The beds were extremely comfortable with a lovely view of the meadow. The heaters warmed up the rooms brilliantly for when it was a bit cold outside. The bathroom, washing and cooking facilities were all excellent with hot water available at all times. There was a lovely view of the sea from the kitchen and balcony/patio. The property has been decorated in a beautiful, authentic style. We had no issues parking on the street near the front door. The swimming pool was clean. Every destination in the Algarve was possible on a day trip, and every night, we looked forward to returning to the beautiful and comfortable property. There were lovely restaurants and bars within walking distance. We had an amazing stay here and would certainly stay again next time we visit the Algarve. Thank you so much, Helder Jácome! 😊

We liked the nicely renovated old charme of the house itself. The equipment suited our demands perfectly. The host was very welcoming and communicated well. As it was Sunday and New Year’s Eve with shops to be closed some delicious treats awaited us, including bread, butter, beer, wine and pastries. We did really appreciate this surprise. Boliqueime makes a great base to reach the central Algarve’s natural beauty’s including the backcountry. Also supermarkets and cafes are found within walking distance.
The following doesn’t affect our full recommendation for the house but needs to be mentioned. For us sustainable aspects should be more taken into account (no coffee out of a capsule machine, no need for a 4-layer TP, more than one trash bin for easyer recycling options). Also more green in the garden would improve the well being a lot (nevertheless the orange trees were tremendous). Lastly the introduction in the house was way too extensive. It was after midnight and we appreciated the late check in, but we mentioned a couple of times that we were tired and will be able to figure out trivial things like using the oven or the dish washer ourself. This wish was barely noted. The host is really passionate about the house but in my opinion communicated too much. That being said we thank again for the warm welcome and the feel like home stay.

Absolutely beautiful, traditional Portuguese home with an exceptional host, Helder could not do anything more for us throughout our lovely peaceful 2 week break. Everything was so perfect and top quality with this stunning home from home in a lovely village off the beaten track but still a short cab ride to everything from shopping, beaches, marina, restaurants etc
Can't wait to return next year
Nothing to dislike, such a peaceful place

Very impressed with this beautiful house, lovely 'miminhos' (treats), host helpfulness was outstanding, and we loved the swimming pool! I hope to be back and I definitely recommend it.
Thank you ever so much, Helder! 🙂
6.0
Some of the furnishings seemed authentic. It was nice that we had a pool to ourselves. There is a washing machine in a separate room. The interior was always pleasantly cool despite the lack of air conditioning.
We were very happy about the welcome with delicious bread, cheese and drinks as well as the helpfulness of the landlord.
The stay outside was somewhat spoiled by the sunshades, which constantly flew away due to their low quality, especially since there are no shady spots in the huge outdoor area. Overall, the space around the pool is not attractively designed. The kitchen is not inviting for cooking, the wall cupboards stink distinctly musty - even the cinnamon deposited by the landlord could not change this.
During our stay we found dead cockroaches several times in the morning. The back bedroom is directly adjacent to the pool of the upper floor flat, so there is a high noise level when using it. The flat is not well suited for longer people (door height, bed length).

The property is ideal for the coast and yet in a quiet location.
The shower needs to be upgraded

Here you have absolutely everything you may need for a stress free holiday. Heldere Jácome is the perfect host who provides even bread, cheese, beer and wine for his guests 🍻.

We were very pleased that Helder was able to accommodate our request to check in early and then he met us at the house to hand over the keys, provided a full tour of the house and facilities and explained how everything worked. He was extremely helpful and made it clear that we should contact him at any time with any questions.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we were delighted with the welcome gifts of cheese, wine, bread, milk and beer that were provided, thank you!

Large and well restored appartment on the 2nd floor, very comfortable, well equipped and in very good condition. Our host welcomed us personally, explained everything in detail and brought us food and portuguese specialties. Thanks a lot again! The village offers several restaurants and is a good starting point to discover the Algarve. We had a very nice stay and fully recommend the accommodation.

I highly recommend this accommodation. The owner is super friendly and welcomed us in spectacularly, showed us around the house and also left us some traditional Algarve pastries and bread as well as, water, coffee, wine, juice and fresh beer, cheeses.
The accommodation is situated in a very calm and quiet area, near a beautiful church and a typical British pub, in addition to this, within a 10 minute drive you can reach Albufeira and Vilamoura, two large and exciting areas of Algarve.
The house itself is very clean and tidy, with all the basic household appliances such as: washing machine, vacuum cleaner, iron and dishwasher. We stayed in the two bedroom accommodation, so we had a pool, outdoor dining area and large patio all to ourselves. Without being said the rooms are also very spacious with lots of storage room, there is both an indoor and outdoor bathroom and a living room with a dining table.
We adored our stay at this accommodation and hope to come back!
everything was amazing!

Great location! Lovely traditional Portuguese property. The host was very friendly and provided a selection of cheeses, fruit juice, bottle of wine and a few beers as a 'welcome'.
No air conditioning, which could be a problem in the heat of the summer. Seating in the sitting room not very comfortable.
There are 2 apartments within this lovely house - it did not seem clear when making the booking - which apartment we were getting.

The owner is very kind and helpful with every question and problem. The appartment is clean and well equipped. It is close to all Algarve locations by car. Parking is possible just next to the house.
The 5th bed (folding armchair) is not very comfortable for an adult.

The villa including the pool and the lovely garden were amazing. The host, Helder Jácome, is someone who provides great hospitality, and is always prepared to help you in any situation. We loved the interesting talks and hope to meet again in the future somewhere. The whole experience just could not have been better. Thanks once again! With kind regards, Fabian&Rutger&Lucas
