My boyfriend and I chose this accommodation because we don’t like the hustle and bustle of the city, but we still wanted to be close to the beaches. Perfectly located, with everything within easy reach, though having a car was essential. We spent 5 nights here, and based on that, I can say: we always had a place to park, every morning I enjoyed a great breakfast, the very kind owners provided us with beach umbrellas, and the room had a fridge and a hairdryer. The common areas always smelled absolutely lovely, and I’m curious to know what the fragrance was—I forgot to ask :( I truly appreciate the owners' attentiveness; they really made an effort to ensure we felt great, and they succeeded. Thank you very much for the pleasant stay, we would gladly return in the future.

I can only mention a few minor points – the fan did its best, but it was still quite warm at night, even with the window wide open. However, we’ll resolve this ourselves next time, as we plan to visit Portugal during the off-season. The bed felt a little too soft for me, but that’s simply because I’m accustomed to sleeping on a firmer mattress and one last thing – no matter how careful I was, there was always water outside the shower after I used it. However, none of these details change my overall opinion that this accommodation is wonderful, and I will happily recommend it.

Jeanine and Francisco were the most wonderful hosts - they couldn't do more for us! We arrived on the Black Out Day and they arranged for their daughter to feed us and look after us that evening. We enjoyed talking about the drama of it all as the week went on. Being busy with their jobs and chores, they left us alone, unless we wanted to engage of course, so we never felt like we had to perform and be social. But when we did chat we always had a lot to talk about and they are a lovely, interesting couple. It felt like a home from home, or like we were staying with long established friends. And a special mention to Pippa the golden lab, who only speaks Dutch, who liked to sit on our balcony watching the world go by! Gorgeous girl! Our cottage was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and perfect for our needs. It was a joy to sit in the pretty courtyard garden in the morning with a glass of their delicious freshly squeezed orange juice, or in the evening sunshine with a glass of wine - watching the spring birds, including swifts and swallows, darting around the skies and rooftops of Montes Alvor. Thank you for our stay Jeanine and Francisco - we will recommend your pretty guest house to all who will listen and will may very well be back! xx

The showery mornings...it was warmer in the UK at the time!

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Largo do Poço Guesthouse immensely. Jeanine and Francisco are incredibly kind, helpful and warm people. We felt very relaxed in their presence, and they were very attentive and foreseeing towards our needs. The breakfast was good, the rooms were spacious (especially the bathroom!), the beds comfortable and the interior design and decoration beautifully composed with rustique Portuguese references. We'd love to come visit again :-)

Just a few minor, possible improvements: - Perhaps some (more) hooks on the walls for hanging jackets, coats and (shoulder)bags - Another small table, besides the nightstands, would've been nice, although there might not be enough room for it. - Taking a shower in the bathtub left huge amounts of water on the bathroom floor, even though we tried our best to avoid it; perhaps another setup for taking a shower would be a good solution - some practical instalments to prevent the water from spilling down on the floor. - Towel bars, a towel rack or a towel stand in the bathroom would also be an improvement. - I'm very sensitive to smells, and the wooden wardrobe had a rather peculiar, pungent smell, so we didn't use it for our clothes, even though it was a beautiful piece of furniture.

Amazing guest house ruled by a couple Janine and her husband, who are super kind. The house is amazing, all details are taking into consideration for a very relaxed stay: the outstanding decoration mixing tradicional furniture with contemporary style, the amazing smell in the house and the very quiet atmosphere. The room is huge and cosy. Breakfast is very good with fresh fruit and juice, fresh bread and bakery (bought every morning) and great coffee. Location is in a very quiet street out of the center of Tavira, but you can get to the center in 5 minutes by car. Also very close to Portimao. Really recomendable for those who looks for relaxation and disconnection. I Will repeat here for sure, if coming back to Tavira

Nothing, all was great

Perfecto location for the Portimao racetrack. It's a traditional Portuguese Quinta with comfortable beds and perfectly good en suite shower .......this is not a hotel so don't expect things like tea and coffee making facilities, trouser press and a 38" TV although there was a small fridge in the room with water. .....it's a very comfortable guesthouse. The owners are lovely and the breakfast was plentiful with fresh fruit, yogurt, fruit juice, fresh bread rolls, cold meats and cheese Pastel da Natas and endless coffee. The guesthouse is just off a lovely quiet square with parking outside the property.

If you were staying for several nights you may struggle with the lack of facilities but for a 2/3 night stay it's perfect If we were to be very picky the guesthouse is not really within walking distance of the main part of Alvor due to having to walk on a very busy road without pavements but the drive only takes 10 minutes where you will find ample free parking

We had a great stay - the hosts are extremely welcoming and nice, the room is comfortable and has everything you need (kitchen, a nice terrace, right next to the plunge pool and breakfast area). The area is very quiet but just a 5-minute ride away from the village of Alvor and 10 from some beautiful beaches. There are a few restaurants and cafes just a few minutes by foot. Would come back for sure!

Nothing to note.

The owners are just fantastic and the place is very peaceful and nicely decorated. The breakfast looks great (we didn’t have it). The little pool a pleasure in the hot afternoons. House is located in the center of the tiny village, so a bit noisy given the village’s garbage collector in front and the skydive aérodrome 50m away.

As I suffer a bit from heat, air conditioning would be an asset

Very hospitable, relaxing, clean and quiet environment. Very friendly hosts. Location was ideal to explore while Algarve region, not far from town centre , easy access to motorway. Breakfast was amazing !

N/a

The owners were charming and attentive without being overbearing. We felt very at ease in this rustic, local family run home. Parking was easy outside the property. We loved the plunge pool and it was an added bonus, as was the courtyard garden. The breakfasts were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. It is easy to drive to both Alvor with its beaches and Portimao for more beaches and shopping. Pippa the dog was lovely too!

Nothing.

Great hosts, very helpful and quick in answering my questions before our stay, especially with restaurant recommendations. Room was comfortable and clean, nice breakfast. Location ideal as we needed to be at the airfield in the morning - 5 mins walk!

Not a dislike, just some advice - you'll probably need a car/taxi to get into Alvor or elsewhere.
