Perfect location
We stayed at the house for 6 nights. My husband and I loved the location and being able to get up and go for a swim with no one around was magical. The views from the roof terrace can not be beaten! Just stunning. Will definitely come back.

Nice location but poor standard
We loved Armona. The house is charming however full of ants and cockroaches. The electricity kept cutting out. The standard of cleanliness was terrible. The glass shower door fell off in my hand. The host didn't leave any check in instructions and wouldn't answer the phone or messages. The number on the listing works but I got through to a very rude Spanish man who hung up on me twice after shouting at me in Spanish.

Beautiful spacious house in Paradise. Not for the faint hearted when the summer heat is at its height. Could do with ceiling fans and small upgrades to bathrooms but has to be one of the nicer houses on the island, and only a short walk to the best beach. Perfect family beach escape

Wonderful 6 days at this lovely Armona residence!
This was a very relaxing and memorable week in the Algarve - our first visit to this amazing part of Portugal and it will be hard to top. The house had everything we needed and we settled in right away. The hosts are great. We enjoyed all the different spaces to hang out, and all the homey touches. Hope to come back some day!

Nice, confortable house
Everything was perfect. The house is nice, with large living rooms, and plenty of terraces (two at ground floor, one at floor 1, plus one on the roof). The neighborhood is calm. Everything is great for a great stay. One thing to improve, for me: the quality of matresses!!

A wonderful stay
We fell in love with Olhao last October and dreamt about staying on Armona. The house is comfortable with everything you need ( the kitchen is specially well provided for a good cook), very well located in between the Laguna, the "big" beach as my daughter called it. Maria was friendly and answered all our queries promptly. I can only recommend her house. Just a note though, if you need to work whilst there, there is no internet/wifi in the house. I wish this island remain a well kept secret, which makes it so charming!

As good as it looks in the pictures
We had a lovely time in this beautiful house. There is loads of space in the public rooms - a smallish cosy area with two comfy couches, a good sized space with a beautiful big fireplace and a small table and chairs, as well as a huge kitchen area with a big square table and 8 chairs that's great for family meals. And that's all without the outdoor space, with table and chairs, hammock, built-in BBQ, and sunloungers on the roof area that is accessed via cute stairs and a lovely, roomy bedroom. (Higher still, there's a roof top area from where you can see for miles.) The decor is lovely with lots of cute touches and the whole house way more homely than any chain rental. We found the beds really comfy and enjoyed long lies with the window shutters keeping the light out until we wanted to let the day in. The only negative we can think of is that hanging and drawer space is a wee bit on the tight side. The house is so roomy, though, that there was plenty space for our cases so it wasn't a big problem. Anyway, it's Armona; all you need to pack are a few pairs of shorts, some T shirts and swim wear. Maria is the perfect host - always responding really quickly to enquiries. Thank you, Maria!

Excellent.
My wife and I stayed in this three-bedroomed house last September with other members of our family. We liked it so much that we booked it again in March despite the fact that this time only the two of us were coming and we didn't need the extra space. The house has a special artistic flair about it, a charm and grace, that we really love. There is no finer compliment than a return visit: we've been twice in a few months and look forward to returning soon.

Spacious, quite, secluded.
Maria’s house on Armona was wonderful both inside and out. And as the house was not on the front line of the main path literally no-one in 2 weeks passed by front or back, which made for a very quiet and relaxing and secluded holiday. The house is so well stocked you will not be short of anything, cutlery, glasses, cups, pots & pans, towels etc., more than enough of everything essential. Additionally books, cd’s, video discs and lots of games for kids and others. The children’s bedroom is particularly well done and I am sure kids will love sleeping there. Decoration throughout is obviously very personal and well above the normal standard for this type of accommodation. The roof terrace in particular was well used from a cup of tea first thing in the morning to a gin and tonic at sunset and a lot of sunbathing in between. The outside shower was really great for getting all the sand off from the beach before going inside. The house is well positioned, being close to the Atlantic beach and just a little further from the more sheltered beach opposite Culatra island. But closest of all is the central lagoon which is very tidal and at low tide can be little more than a large puddle. But when at or close to high tide is absolutely great especially for kids. If you go round to the far side furthest from the 5 or so houses then on occasion you will find you are the only people there.(although this may not be the case at weekends or peak season). The island itself is one of those places you will love or hate, nothing to do! I love it. There are five restaurants/bars they are all good but nothing exceptional and can be a bit hit and miss. The middle restaurant with the attached supermarket does very good barbecued fish at lunchtime. But our favourite was Carlos at the ferry end, a completely family operation. Any bad points? Well my wife thought the sofas were not very comfortable but I was quite happy with them. And as someone has already mentioned the two kids bikes weren’t great. An addition I think perhaps a teapot for English guests would be good, also although we did not watch TV much it would have been nice to have some instructions on how (if possible) to switch from the German satellite feed to an English one. Very highly recommended.

Very cosy charming beach house
Having visited and stayed in several houses on Armona for the last five years .This house is really a home and has amazing inside open space to chill out with a lovely roof terrace . The kitchen is very well equpped for cooking and picnics . The views to the sea and mainland are fabulous- it's a great location for the Atlantic beach and the San Antonio restaurant which we also recommend . We loved this house and are returning in August - Maria Del Carmen is a helpful kind host for her home in Armona.

Schöner Strandurlaub
Das Haus war für unsere 2 Familien (Eltern mit 2 Kleinkinder. Großeltern) sehr angenehm. Anfangs war es sehr schwer zu finden. Das Problem, daß bei unserer Ankunft nicht gereinigt und die Betten nicht neu überzogen waren, wurde sehr schnell von Ihnen schwierig waren allerdings die Milliarden von Ameisen.

Tolle läge auf Armona
Das Haus liegt super, man hat einen tollen Blick von der Dachterrasse aus aufs Meer. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet. Ein kleines Ärgernis war das aus einem Bad leider ein unangenehmer Geruch kam, der laut Angabe des Vermieters wegen der Kanalarbeiten kam. Der Vermieter hat zugesagt sich umgehend um das Problem zu kümmern. Also bei Anmietung den Vermieter fragen ob das Problem behoben ist. Sonst ist das Haus zu empfehlen und Armona ist eine traumhafte Insel.
