What our Guests said:
"We had a fantastic holiday at your villa. We would definitely recommend it if someone wanted a holiday with a great pool, a fantastic view and far enough from the hustle and bustle of busy towns (though not too far). Very chilled, very relaxing. E&S Morris, Cardiff, Wales"
"Fantastic Villa, great location, and a very homely feel. The villa had far better equipment and facilities than other villas we have stayed at. Will definitely be looking to stay here again in the future. P Kielty, London".
"We could not rate this home highly enough. It was more than we expected and the property details and photographs do not do it justice! We all felt special guests in someone's home while also having the freedom and space not to trip over each other. The villa played a major part in allowing us to have a very memorable holiday. P Munns, Oxford, England." Please look at the reviews on this website for further feedback.

“Lovely relaxing villa”
We have enjoyed several mid-season breaks as a couple at beautiful Casa da Bica and have always found it to be a welcoming and relaxing place to stay. Accessed via a short tarmac/paved road, it sits… More

“Gorgeous villa lacking customer service”
We booked this villa for our belated honeymoon based on the reviews..... boy, what a mistake! The first problem we noticed was that a wide angle, infra red cctv camera which is placed on the main bedroom terrace is constantly on, pointing toward the bedroom & certainly a cause for concern with regard to privacy (photos of the camera in situ are available) After our first week we were expecting the maid to arrive to change the bedding & replenish the toilet rolls around the villa, remove / clean dirty towels as stated in the welcome pack at the villa ..... she never arrived & worse still the sheets & toilet rolls are locked in a cupboard to which the guests have no access. Therefore if you bring your children here & bed sheets get messed up due to whatever as well as the fact that we don’t want to sleep under the same sheets for two weeks you cannot change the bedding. You are allocated one toilet roll per week per bathroom..... really? Despite repeated requests to Graeme, most of which he ignored (screen shots of text messages available) this situation was only resolved by us purchasing both sheets & toilet rolls at our expense. Further problems we had noticed were that on going down to the pool for the first time the previous occupants dirty towels were stacked on a table by the pool, sign of things to come! Also, according to the instructions the gas needs switching on at the bottle in the store at the back of the villa, fortunately it had been left on as despite the key turning in the lock it would take herculean effort to open the store door. Prior to these problems arising communication had been fantastic & to be fair we had an early check in & late check out, it would seem however that this changes as & when a problem occurs, Graeme offered a rebate for the 5 days we were effectively not provided with a service which turned out to be £100 .... less than one days rental fee! We found this insulting to say the least when we had in effect been expected to stay in a villa with dirty sheets etc for the remaining 5 days of our stay & not receiving the service for which we had paid. We regularly stay in villas in this area & this is the first time we have encountered such shabby customer service (see our review & counter review of ourselves from Casa Mar), we certainly feel that having paid over £1,700 for 12 days that a better experience should have been offered. The villa itself is gorgeous, although it IS overlooked contrary to what is stated, the views are fantastic & this part of the Algarve is stunning. We will be returning here again unfortunately just not to Casa Bica.

Response from the owner As we confirmed to you formally in writing, we are very sorry that the Maid service on day 7 of your holiday did not take place as scheduled. We have taken decisive steps to ensure that this will never happen again and we provided an immediate refund to you for the missed maid’s visit, irrespective of any extenuating circumstances. We recognise that this incident tarnished your time at the villa, since up to that point you had provided very positive written feedback on all aspects of your villa holiday. If you had spoken to us or our villa manager about any of the other points which you now raise in your review then we would have addressed your concerns quickly. If any prospective guests have any questions or concerns about your comments then I would be happy to provide appropriate reassurances to them.
