I'm Fred. In 2013, my wife and I took over "Boa Terra" from family who owned it for 17 years and converted the old, neglected farmhouse into the attractive, comfortable house it is today. After the death of my wife in 2021, I am still very happy with the house, the place and the quiet environment.

Lovely holiday home surrounded by tranquility. Nice quiet area and busy is looked up with 30 min. The house is clean with great pool. Interior is simple, but here you mainly live outside. For us, the peace and quiet on holiday ...

Thank you for writing a good review. Yes, it is an ideal house for those seeking peace and quiet. Centrally located in the Algarve, attractions can be quickly sought out if you feel the need for them.

Glad you had such a good time.
You have had very hot days.
I'm insulating the roof. 1 half is already done. The second half will follow next winter. An insulated roof has to block a lot of heat.

Willemijn,
I'm glad you like Boa Terra so much. The lowest an 8, is not surprising! But I want to pay attention and would also like to see a 10 for hygiene. What can I bet?

Child-friendliness for slightly older children, perfect for young children not.

Romeny,

As far as the facilities are concerned, the 8 is a bit disappointing, although it is nice. What s...

We have been staying in Boa Terra for a number of years and it is always very enjoyable. It is wonderfully quiet but if you are looking for something more hustle and bustle, it is not far away, great location.

Thanks for the good review. You are right when you write: ideal for a rest holiday". If you are looking for the nightlife and hustle and bustle of, for example, Albufeira, then Boa Terra is the place to be.
