August 2021 - Family from France
Casa Jean is a great villa, perfect location - we had a wonderful stay
Wonderful Villa *****
Sept 2020
Casa Jean is a wonderful villa so peaceful and quiet, you want for nothing in the villa everything is thought of including smaller details such as travel plugs, wifi, speakers and anything "home from home related" Sharon the owner has been amazing (the villa owner) and has been there every step of the way including when we got here she was still extremely supportive and helpful - we will be back!
Absolutely marvellous *****
Oct - Nov 2019
Absolutely marvellous, has everything we want for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The gardens are just lovely and relaxing. The house has as many pots and utensils as anyone would need if they were cooking - we did very little as there are so many restaurants nearby to try. Sharon and Les, thank you so much for the loan of your house and the welcome pack - we all loved it and the pool was hard to leave. The last thing our son in law said when they left was "see you here next year"!
Returning guests *****
Oct 2019
From the turn of the key in the gate it feel like we have arrived at a place we can call home for a short space of time. Casa Jean gives us instant relaxation. This house is comfortable and well equipped with all that is needed to cook and feel at home.

A return visit to this lovely villa *****
Oct 2018
A return visit to this lovely villa, so comfortable well equipped and it instantly feels like home. Each year we visit this area and we find new and beautiful places to visit. The food is consistently good and wherever you eat the people are warm and hospitable. We love Portugal and will return - thank you.
A great 10 nights in this wonderful villa*****
Aug 2018
A great 10 nights we have had in this wonderful villa. Very welcoming and home from home. Welcome gift was very much enjoyed and the pool was amazing after being out in the hot weather to cool down. We hope to visit the villa again sometime with the grandchildren as they would enjoy it.
Beautiful villa in glorious surroundings*****
Aug 2018
Well what a week we have had. Beautiful villa in glorious surroundings with a very relaxing atmosphere. Where else can you be in a pool at 9.00pm and still be having fun. Had a great time at Aqualand and Fuseta whilst here but have to admit the majority of the time we have spent in and out of the pool playing and relaxing. Stunning sunsets and views. The photos do not reflect just how nice this villa and its surroundings are.
Casa Jean is the perfect place to relax by the pool *****
Aug 2018
Our second stay in this stunning villa. Casa Jean is the perfect place to relax by the pool, witness breathtaking sunsets over the valley and make incredible memories. Many thanks for allowing us to stay here, we've had an incredible 10 days and are sad to leave.
Wonderfully relaxing *****
Aug 2018
We have just returned from a brilliant week at casa jean. We stayed with out 12 year old and 16 year old sons. I have to say that the photos do not do this place justice. The house is great. It has everything you want. So many different places to sit, watch the sunset and relax. The pool is fantastic and the children had many hours of fun playing in it. The views are stunning and the surrounding villages and towns are proper Portugal. The villa itself is well furnished has so much room and is very well equipped. It feels like a home from Home. The owners and management company respond very quickly to any queries there might be. I can highly recommend this villa. It would suit families and couples.
Fantastic time had by all the family *****
May 2018
Thank you for the new baby cot. Our little grandson Noah loved his time in the pool. Wished we had booked a longer stay. Planning to return next
year.
Enjoyable stay at Casa Jean *****
May 2018
An excellent Villa in Portugal, stayed for one week leaving on the 14th May, The villa has every thing you need for your stay with a very good pool and BBQ area for evening meals and drinks watching the sun go down. The villa is within 5 mins drive from 2 good Supermarkets, LIDL and Intermarche. A nice beach at Tavira and Zoo Marine Park are great for the children. Would definitely recommend this Villa.
Perfect Holiday *****
Nov 2017
I stayed here with my wife for a week in November. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise with all we needed for our first night. The villa was lovely with everything we needed in a beautiful setting just to kick back and relax.
Fabulous gem in the Algarve *****
Nov 2017
Myself and my husband stayed in this wonderful villa for 7 nights we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay the villa was exceptionally clean with lovely personal touches from the owner ie a lovely welcome pack including bottle of wine along with all the essentials needed on arrival, the grounds were beautifully kept along with magnificent panoramic views, I would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to a return visit.
Casa Jean is a lovely detached and spacious place to stay *****
Oct 2017
Everything you would need for a great and relaxing break. Lovely gardens with numerous sitting areas, and gorgeous pool. Pleasant views with a great deal of privacy. Just a short drive from Faro airport, ideally situated to explore the Algarve. Just a short drive from shops and restaurants. Would certainly return again in the future !
Lovely villa *****
Aug 2017
Our family has just spent a fortnight in this beautiful villa, it has a homely feel and has everything you could need. Our granddaughter spent many hours having fun in the pool. The bathrooms are very nice and each room is equipped with fans to keep you cool at night. We spent many nights watching the sunset, the views are beautiful. The location is peaceful and relaxing, just what we all needed. We would thoroughly recommend you visit the zoo marine as we had a lovely couple of days there, for both children and adults! Sharon has been nothing but professional and helpful, we would highly recommend people to stay at Casa Jean, we will definitely return.
Had an amazing week at Casa Jean *****
May 24 2017
Had an amazing week at Casa Jean. Many thanks to Sharon and Les for their hospitality and kindness in renting us their beautiful villa. The villa was well equipped, extremely spacious and very comfortable. The hosts are obviously well aware that its the small details that make all the difference - meant so much thank you. The welcome/info pack that Sharon has put together was fantastic and was invaluable and a great help for finding out way around the area. It saved us so much time and hassle. The location is quiet and secluded but places of interest like Faro, Villa Real, Tavira and Albufeira are easily accessible. (Tavira is a must and was our fav!) We visited the local water park (Aquashow) which was great fun. Our young daughter had a fab week and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful pool here at Casa Jean. We will definitely be back!
Excellent Accommodation in fabulous location
May 2017
Excellent Accommodation in fabulous location together with glorious weather - this really was the perfect holiday.
Amazing birthday and engagement week spent here! *****
May 2017
Absolutely gorgeous villa in a beautiful location. I spent my 32nd birthday here and also got engaged by the pool at the villa! Really good welcome pack from the owners including wine and water which is just what you need after travelling. There are great restaurants less than a 10 minute drive and a visit to Tavira is a must. Uber taxis are available in this part of Portugal and they pick you up right outside the door so you don't necessarily need to hire a car. I have already booked to come back for a week in July and a long weekend with the girls in September - cannot wait!
Cracking Fortnight! *****
Jul 2016
Had a great couple of weeks here with my girlfriend, the location is brilliant offering peace and quiet but not too far from neighbouring towns like Loule and Sao Bras and the welcome pack helped a lot as it was our first time visiting the area. The pool and facilities at the villa are tremendous, we used the barbecue a good few times and even used some lemons from the tree in the front garden! We had a great two weeks and we have already booked a break here again for next year.
Just the sounds of cicada *****
July 2016
Having travelled to Portugal several times, we were familiar with the standard of villa accommodation. From the web page images I knew Casa Jean was going to be a superior venue. We were not disappointed. A discreet location set in the hills above Sao bras de Alportel. We found the immediate impact of the premises set the scene that was reinforced by immaculate layout, bathrooms, bedrooms and reception rooms. Many Portuguese villas seek to replicate olde worlde traditional farmhouse settings. Casa Jean didn't try. It didn't need to. The villa is tastefully decorated in modern style yet made it feel like a holiday destination. With two young adults the benefit of wifi was invaluable and our welcome pack and well furnished larders were of great assistance. The pool was beautiful we enjoyed the garden and the almond trees were regularly harvested for midday snacks. Such a relaxing venue, glorious sunshine, lovely remote villa and just the sound of cicada to provide some atmosphere in the background.
Lovely villa, great views *****
July 2016
Had a little family trip to casa Jean at the start of end of June / start of July. Instructions provided to us to find the villa were spot on, exactly what you want after flights etc. On arrival we found the villa in great condition, lovely and clean! Detailed welcome pack suggested a few nice ideas for trips out etc which was very thoughtful. Local shops were easy to find in the car, and the people in the local area were all very friendly and helpful. Would happily use this villa again in the future.
A lovely villa in a quite location *****
September 2016
A well equipped villa with all the creature comforts of home. The lounge is spacious with comfortable leather sofas and satellite tv with a wood burner for those cooler evenings.The kitchen has a gas oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge freezer and all the equipment you will need .There are three bedrooms, one en-suite and a upstairs bathroom with over the bath shower and a down stairs shower room with toilet and a separate wc. Outside the second bedroom there is a private balcony with sun lounges and of the landing there is a reading room.The swimming pool and the surrounding patio areas are wonderful with views of the gardens,the surrounding fields and views across the valley down to Sao Bras de Alportel. Location is rural so a car is a necessity but Sao Bras de Alportel is a five minute drive with two good supermarkets. Casa Jean is a lovely villa and my wife and myself spent ten wonderful nights and would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful property to anybody .We hope to return next year. Sharron Hammond who is the owner of the property has been Excellent in the description of the property and responding to all communications and transactions involving the rental of the villa
