About

Hi, I'm Eleanor and my husband, Dan, and I are the owners of Villa da Figueira, in the Algarve, Portugal. We have been coming to this area of Portugal for the last 20+ years. We love it because of the fabulous, quiet beaches and countryside, and the proximity to fun activities and great restaurants. We bought Villa da Figueira in May 2022. We chose it because it is so bright and spacious and works perfectly for extended family holidays - everyone can spend time together, but still enjoy their own space. We also love the private heated pool, beautiful views, and location. The villa is within walking distance of the lovely traditional village of Figueira and stunning south coast beaches of Furnas and Figueira. We hope guests will enjoy the villa and the area as much as our family does!

Fantastic villa with everything we needed for a great family holiday with 5 adults and 2 toddlers. Good provisions for younger travellers which was appreciated as some steep steps around the pool. Host was extremely helpful and attentive, but allowed total privacy. Location was great to explore south western tip of Portugal and Algarve. Pool lovely (recommend the heating option) and property was fully air conditioned inside with very new and quiet units (also a worthwhile add-on). Villa layout and decor were awesome and plenty of space for way more than our party size. Some special touches really made the holiday, thanks so much. We would definitely love to return. Clickstay good portal for payment and host messaging.

We have just returned from a wonderful family holiday staying at this stunning villa with a 360 panoramic view of the area. The villa is exactly as described in the listing, set over 2 levels which was perfect for our family of eleven, age range from 8- 64. The villa was perfectly equipped with absolutely everything we needed, great to have 2 kitchens. Eleanor was very responsive & helpful to any of my queries. I adored the bright & calm decors. The local information folders provided were very useful. We shopped for provisions locally. We had my daughter’s car and used Ubers, to venture out to Sagres, & browse the market at Lagos and did the most amazing boat trip ever. Salema was within walking distance 35 mins, shops and lovely restaurants there with a beautiful beach, passing through the village of figueira on the way, where we enjoyed breakfast on one day. The beaches of Praia da figueira & Furnas are absolutely stunning. Thank you Eleanor.

Beautiful and peaceful get away. 10 minutes from Lidl, a great grocery store nearby. Plenty of room for our big family. Really enjoyed the view and closeness to the beach. This is the perfect home for families traveling together. I was so nice having 2 completely separate homes upstairs and down stairs. The down stairs was Large and had plenty of room for everyone to come together but it was nice to have the upstairs where you can get away and have alone time if needed.

Beautiful villa in a lovely location. Amazing scenery and great walk to Salema. Ideal for us as a family with 6 grandchildren. Eleanor provided high chairs and travel cots which were very much appreciated. Will go and stay again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Eleanor’s - a beautiful house in a lovely setting. Plenty of space for our three families with small children - with social areas for dining both inside and out. Very well equipped and comfortable. Would not hesitate to book again and we would love to come back!

We stayed at the villa with a group of 12 adults. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious, with comfortable beds. The kitchens are fully equipped. And the house is nicely decorated and very clean. We enjoyed spending time there.Eleanor is very friendly and easy to communicate with. She also offered suggestions for beaches and restaurants.If you are with a big group, this is really the perfect house!

I have just returned from an amazing stay at Eleanor’s villa with 7 friends. Everything was perfect & I cannot rate the villa, area & Elenor’s communication highly enough. There was plenty of space, kitchen had everything you needed, 2 extra cafetières were provided, outside sitting & eating area was perfect. We even had a daily swim each morning in the pool. Lovely local village with a great pizza restaurant & bar, easy to walk to. We hired bikes for the week from Musette cycles, the whole region is stunning & perfect timing with the abundance of spring flowers. Used local taxi’s/Uber for shopping etc. It was all perfect & I hope to return. Many thanks Eleanor 🤩

We stayed here for 10 days over Easter, with 5 adults and 4 children. We really enjoyed our stay and thought the house was great and very suitable for us. The welcome with the huge basket was something special, and Eleanor responded quickly to messages. We really liked the location of the house, with its fantastic panoramic view, although the wind can be quite strong up there ;-). We hardly noticed the nearby road at all. The beds were comfortable. We really recommend the house!
