It was a little heaven on earth.
The owner who lived in an other house of the property, was very kind, and helped us with everything. They cleaned the Pool every day etc.
The house was cleaned in the middle og the week. The village was very authentic, and not turisted at all.

Casa Quinta do Floral- Beautiful villa with private swimming pool

Denmark

 From Brabrand, Denmark

Quinta do Floral is a nice property a on the edge of the village of Mucifal within it own 2.5 acres of land.  The property has a very traditional feel to it - lots of marble and tile floors throughout.  

Please be aware that for some of the year the owners live on site in a separate apartment, although they do give you privacy.  This is good for local information and advice - they are very friendly and helpful.  It may be an issue if you don't like dogs though.  Send them a email and ask if their be around if it's of concern.

Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Really pleased with villa, resort and location.  Nice and peaceful holiday with few Endland football shirts and tatoos on show.  The beach is soft sand and safe for children - small harbour town and pleasant people - the accomodation is great with evrything you need at hand - we were all totally satisfied.

Excellent!

 From Ilkley, United Kingdom

Nice and quiet area, with a short distance to a lot of tourist attractions. Well looked after during stay.

Norway

 From Klepp Stasjon, Norway

We thoughourly enjoyed our 4 night stay at Quinta do Floral. We came to the region primarily to visit the Estoril Moto GP and had the added bonus of experiencing true village life in Mucifal. The house was ideal for our family of five, with spacious bedrooms, beautiful large garden for the children to roam, clean swimming pool and excellent views of the valley. The house is situated in a very quiet, secluded area which is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Two houses are situated on the property with the owners living part time in the smaller of the two. The owner was very friendly and informative. As the pool is unfenced I would not recommend this accommodation for those with young children or those who can't swim.

 From Newmarket, United Kingdom

I booked both villas for a group of 13 friends over four days, during which we had an amazing time.

From the outset, I was impressed with Susans (the managers) responsiveness even before the trip began. She helped arrange some of our activities and showed great initiative in helping me plan the trip even when my group was outside of Karon!

The rooms are very well-appointed and each has its own distinct character. The romantic decor is most appropriate to families and couples, but friends will still appreciate the charm of the setting. The villas are cosy and are designed to feel like a special home away from home. During our stay, we loved the downstairs living room in Baan Sa-moot Sa-wan and had plenty of fun on the Xbox 360. We also spent much time in the pools of both villas. The facilities are top-notch, but their maintenance can be improved. Nothing serious, but we encountered a choked drain and dirty bathtub in the outdoor bathroom. The pool in each villa was smaller than I thought, but we enjoyed them nonetheless.

We requested the chefs service on our last night and enjoyed a sumptuous meal at economical rates. It was very worth it! We left the menu to the whims of the chef, but for those who are slightly fussy, you can always specify the items you want.

The villas are very private and are located on an extremely steep hill. In fact, I believe its the steepest paved slope Ive ever encountered. We had plenty of fun running up and down the hill, but if youre unfit, it can be a challenge complete the short walk to and from the main road. Its a decent walk of about 10 to 15 minutes to the beach if you follow the main road, but your progress can be quite swift if youre thick-skinned enough to cut through Movenpick hotel! In any case, the privacy of the villas is great and accommodated a substantial fireworks party without incident.

If you have a decent-sized group looking for a nice, relaxing stay in Phuket and dont want to spend excessively, Karon Rustic Villas is the place to go.

 From Eastleigh, United Kingdom

We stayed in the 4br (each with en-suite) villa late November 2010.  It easily accommodated 6 adults and 5 kids.  Perched high on the hill 1.5km from Karon beach gave us a superb view.  The hill is quite steep (1:3) but for only 100 metres or so.  The views from the roof top pool make it worth it.  There is also the added benefit of being in a sanctuary above and beyond the hustle-n-bustle of the beach strips but still connected to the distant noise and sights.  The villa is 4 storeys, but it comes with a "dumb waiter", which makes moving luggage and cocktails between floors quite easy.  The villa appears to be around 10 years old and could do with some capital upgrading, but this would also apply to most accommodation in Phuket.  However it is kept clean and everything functions adequately.  The staff were great, Susan organised a cleaner and 2 cooks (Oey and Mr Ot) to look after us with different Thai dishes every night.  While cheaper dinner alternatives could have been sourced down on the beach strips, the benefits of being catered and waited on in your private sanctuary with fantastic views is worth it.  The kids once fed went back to their X-Box and movies (which come with the villa) and left the adults alone to enjoy the meal.  It is difficult to achieve this at a street restaurant or market place.  In summary if we had the choice of 4 pokey hotel rooms or a spacious 4 level, 4br villa with your own private pool we would choose the villa every time.

We also have to extend a thank you to Susan who was easy to deal with prior to and during our stay (unlike other hotels we have stayed at).  Our flight was delayed both ways (thanks Jetstar!) but it wasn’t a problem for Susan.  She also provided cots for the babies and went to the trouble of giving us a floral Kratong for the Loi Kratong festival.  We laid it in the pool while having drinks and watching all the candle lanterns being launched from Karon and Patong beach which fill the sky around us.  It was great!  Can’t wait to go back!

<p><span style="font-size:8pt;color:#000080;font-family:Verdana;">We were very pleased with the villa which exceeded our expectations .The villa was in a very beautiful and quiet location, and was very well equipped. We would come back again </span></p>

Lovely area Villa very comfortable everything we needed, owners very friendly

 From Alford, United Kingdom

We had the most relaxing holiday ever at Quinto Do Floral . The setting is wonderful and temperatures are just right compared with temps down in Lisbon or Cascais. Colares has a sper restaurant called Colares Velho and within walking distance of the house is an excellent Italian restaurant in Janas (the next village above Mucifal) . Our hosts Alda and her husband were wonderful and friendly and brought us  delicious fruit from their orchards and eggs from their hens .  For families with teenagers this is a great venue - close to beaches , a pool  , shopping in Cascais and very safe .
