Reviews
 10 Dec 2012 |
We stayed at Casa Eucalipto twice; September 2011 and June 2012, and had a wonderful time on both occasions. We have booked again for June 2013. Our children have really enjoyed their holidays at the villa, its a very secure space for children. On arrival a welcome pack greeted us, consisting of bread, cheese, bacon, fruit, tea, butter, wine, etc, this was very handy as we arrived late on our first visit. This spacious villa is well equipped and furnished to a very high standard, ideal for families with lots of dvd's, books, toys, games and nintendo Wii. Casa Eucalipto is spotlessly clean, light and airy, the pool is checked regularly and grounds keep in good order. We particularly enjoyed the peace and quiet of the resort and the amazingly empty beach less than 5 minutes' walk away. We spent many hours just sitting by the pool and relaxing, we ate out a lot, the Pizzeria in Serra del Rey is very good and the portions are enormous.Kitchen in the villa is very well equipped, bakery in Serra del Rey good for lunch time snacks. Would have no hesitation recommending Casa Eucalipto to anyone! Enjoy!!! |

We stayed in the villa with our three young children and grand-parents. The villa has everything you require for a lovely relaxing holiday (BBQ, large heated pool with slide, enclosed garden, Wii, satellite TV etc) and it is furnished in a nice modern style. Everything is very well maintained and the owners were extremely helpful with directions and advice for shopping/trips etc during your stay. The resort is quiet but possibly gets busier later in the season but that suited us perfectly. There is a play park, tennis courts, golf clubhouse with great views and food and a long unspoilt beach within walking distance of the villa. There is also a Marriot hotel resort within walking distance for eating/drinks/spa treatments etc. You definitely need a car to get to the local village and nearby supermarkets so car hire is a must in our opinion. This also enables you to explore the the local area which has lots to see (the nearby town of Obidos is really scenic) and everywhere seems far more Portuguese than the Algarve and the weather is slightly cooler in Summer. We enjoyed it so much we are planning to go back next year! |
