Beautiful Villa

We had an amazing time even if the weather was not as Sunny as we expected. The heated pool saved our holiday due to the weather and everyone really enjoyed themselves. A rental car is a must as there is so much to see and do around the area. Andrew was on hand if we had any issues. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

Good location and nice warm pool

Close to shops and restaurants. Very nice bar/restaurant around the corner (Oldtimers). It was not very clean and we missed a basic kit to clean in between. Also strange that you had to rent bath towels extra. Swimming pool was nice and warm. Good contact with the host family alert and helpful.

Fantastic Villa in a lovely seaside location

Everything about the property and location was excellent. 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms were more than enough for our group of ten. We did Yoga on the terrace in the morning and evening and spent the day in the heated pool. The beach was just a 9 minute walk away and there were 2 local restaurants just steps away. The location was so quiet we all slept well and we cooked every night in the well designed kitchen which had everything we needed. There were enough sun beds for us all. A wonderful stay thank you and we will be booking again

Perfect location and perfect property for a large group!

The Manta Rota location is quite perfect being 40 mins drive from the airport and 10 mins walk to the beautiful white sand beach, passing a great little supermarket on the way. The property is absolutely lovely for a large group with every bedroom comfortable & spacious &living area equally so. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with various quality gadgets and kitchen tools. Both front and rear garden are great spaces where a lot of care and effort is evident. Our family group of children and adults all thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks and have fallen in love with Portugal. ( Great weather too at the beginning of January) Hopefully we can repeat the experience and return in the not too distant future.

Perfect getaway!

I stayed at Casa Betel with 5 friends and the villa truly exceeded our expectations. Wonderfully spacious with lots of bathrooms and gorgeous garden and pool area. We particularly loved the heated pool and outdoor eating area. These were all cleaned and tidied on the Friday of our stay but it didn’t take long. We didn’t have a BBQ but maybe next time! We loved that the kitchen was well equipped too, although we thought if we were cooking for more people we may have struggled with the single oven. The dishwasher and washing machine were so handy. Location wise, it was quiet (but we were in off season). Other reviewers said beware of the cockerels but they didn’t bother me and the sheep were cute. Loved Santa Rota itself. Not at all built up or too touristy. A few nice shops and restaurants (I’m sure more open in high season). The beach, sand dunes and boardwalk were all glorious. All in all a perfect ladies get away, I’m sure we will be back! Thank you

A special and wonderful place to stay.

Casa Betel was a dream to stay at. We were 8 family members staying for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year's. The house exceeded our hopes and was wonderful for us. It is very spacious and well laid out, and has everything you could possibly need. Extremely well supplied, comfortable and homelike. We enjoyed outdoor time in the garden with the pool and mandarin tree, made freshly squeezed orange juice with fruit from the tree, wonderful meals at the spacious dining table and the beds were comfy and bathrooms modern. All was super clean. Andrew and Elsie were incredibly responsive and helpful. they even delivered a turkey to us, ordered from a local butcher. The village was so charming, with a local grocery store, cafes and restaurants all within a block or two's walk. The village is well located and close to many places. We drove to Seville for a day, only a l.5 hour's drive. The beach is spectacular and a five minute walk. Christmas Eve sunset at the beach is a memory we will not soon forget. We highly recommend this house and hope to be back.

Beautiful Casa Betel

I organised a 60th birthday treat for my sister with seven other adults and two children 8 years, and 5 years old. From the initial booking, which was simple and very easy, Andrew the host, was always on hand to help out and responded promptly. He recommended transport to and from the airport which went smoothly. A big thank you to Edite who Andrew recommended for the journey to and from the airport. The villa was beautiful. The gardens, the pool area, the internal rooms were all beautifully presented. The kitchen was fantastic, with everything you could think of. The use of a washing machine was great with the small children. All the rooms were lovely, everyone was happy with their choice of room. The lounge was lovely and spacious with three sofas, tv with satellite although we never turned it on! We did have a go on the piano at the rear of the lounge one night, so much fun. We explored Manta Rota, found some great restaurants, and Mars Bar was one of our favourites simply because it was simple. The food was fantastic, the price great, and although it isn’t upmarket it definitely is worth visiting. Local shops and supermarkets are less than 10 mins from the villa which was handy. There’s a fish shop two mins away but I think it’s only open in the mornings. All in all, we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing family break. There’s plenty of exploring to do with the train station about 25 min walk away, where you can get to all the neighbouring towns. We went to Tavira, and Faro, although there were strikes on which was a bit annoying so there were delays, but again, it didn’t spoil our stay. Thank you Andrew for sharing your beautiful villa, it was an amazing week, and I hope we can stay again in the future.

Good location property needs updating

The property is in a nice area close to shops bars and restaurants and the beach.The house was large enough for our party of 13, however it was not particularly clean on arrival and was in need of maintenance in several areas, broken gate outside, broken trim in the upstairs ensuite, missing tiles in the pool shower and pool itself, mould around the bathroom showers. Considering how much we paid to rent this property for a week I was disappointed by the lack of cleanliness and maintenance.

Wonderful villa stay

Accommodation was perfect for our needs. It was comfortable for sitting, dining, sleeping and relaxing by the pool. It was extremely well resourced. The pool was perfect for adults and children who spent a lot of time in it! The aircon in the rooms was efficient and welcome. It was delightful to eat all our meals outside baring in mind we had messy children! The barbq was great also. The closeness (walking distance) to the lovely beach, cafe/bar and supermarket was a bonus. In fact the children loved the beach so much, we felt we didn’t need to explore any other beach. Trips out included a wonderful boat trip exploring the caves and a Slide and Splash water park. Communication with Andrew before and during our stay was excellent. With six children under 12, the youngest of whom was 16 months, we appreciated the “homeliness” of the villa and felt entirely relaxed. The authenticity and features of the villa together with the outside areas were much appreciated by us all.

Wonderful, quiet location that is very close to a fabulous beach. We were a family group of 9 women and the number of bedrooms/bathrooms was great. We enjoyed the pool and sunshine and then a shady front location with pool table and ping pong table. Cafes and shopping close by.

A great place for a large family or group

Loved the villa, the courtyard, the pool and the general layout of the place. Andrew and Else were great hosts. We went in late April so the evenings were cool and it was quite windy, but got plenty of sunshine during our five days in Manta Rota (one of them during the Portugal blackout, which was certainly memorable!).Manta Rota is a small sleepy village, though. Not much happening at this time of the year. But it’s a great place to base yourself if you plan to rent a car and have road trips planned. We enjoyed crossing the border into Spain to visit Ayamonte (20 min drive), and driving into Albufeira and surrounding villages to visit the coastline caves and hanging valleys (45 min). The 30 min drive to Tavira was also a highlight. So beautiful. We recommend the 7 Hanging Valleys Hiking Tour, which took 4 hours but was a highlight and a better option than taking a boat tour and risking sea sickness, as the waves were big and it was very windy.One point I would make about the villa is that the main level bedrooms get humid and damp and after a few days the bedding becomes a bit musty and uncomfortably damp. Using the in-room air conditioning more would probably have helped. The rooms, as a result, also start to smell musty and the towels never fully dry. Also, the mattress cover in the bedroom closest to the kitchen was just a sheet and it was too small for the bed, so was always getting bunched up and leaving the (dirty) mattress exposed. An easy fix, so just an FYI.

Great location for family holiday

An enjoyable stay at this lovely villa. Heated pool was a highlight. The place is well equipped and in a great location for the beach and supermarket. Some basic provisions (bread/milk/water) might have been nice on arrival as we arrived late in the evening, but overall this villa was a great location for a multi-generational family holiday.

Cats

There are wild cats and dogs barking for the first two nights of our eight nights stay. We contacted the owners after day two thinking day one was just an anomaly and they advise that they have never heard of that in 18 years. The pool maintenance person said that there were cats all around the area and the Workers a couple houses down sad cats are wild. Looking from the top balcony, you could see shanty town of animals was really unattractive, and there were groups of cats that I thought during the day.
