The beautiful Ria Formosa!: The Ria Formosa in the Algarve is a beautiful labyrinth of lagoons separated from the sea by a coastal dune system which is broken up by various natural inlets. It is one of the most important nature reserves in the network of wetlands that links Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. The Ria has an enormous variety of natural habitats that provide refuge, feeding and breeding areas for an infinite number of flora and fauna and is a haven for birds.

The beaches of the isles of Faro, Barreta, Culatra, Armona and Tavira form a natural barrier to the Ocean. Behind are the dunes, sometimes just a narrow strip and sometimes wider and then come the labyrinth of lagoons and small sand islands and channels. At low tide other salty habitats are uncovered forming marches and salt marshes.

Golfers note!: If you're looking for a golfer's paradise, then look no further than the Algarve for your ultimate golfing experience.
With it's brilliant, sunny climate and dramatic courses throughout the region, it's easy to see why the Algarve is the most popular golfing destination in Europe.
There are over 30 golf courses in the Algarve, ranging from 9-hole courses stretched over the Algarve grassland, to dramatic coastal 18-hole courses set amongst the picturesque cliffs.
This makes golf here enjoyable for everyone, regardless of ability, and guarantees that you will find the perfect course for you.
The East Algarve boasts the wonderful Monte Rei course, designed by Nicklaus, Quinta do Vale course designed by Ballesteros,by the river Guardiana, as well as QUinta da Cima, Ria, Benamor and Castro Marim.

Great location for family holiday
An enjoyable stay at this lovely villa. Heated pool was a highlight. The place is well equipped and in a great location for the beach and supermarket. Some basic provisions (bread/milk/water) might have been nice on arrival as we arrived late in the evening, but overall this villa was a great location for a multi-generational family holiday.

Cats
There are wild cats and dogs barking for the first two nights of our eight nights stay. We contacted the owners after day two thinking day one was just an anomaly and they advise that they have never heard of that in 18 years. The pool maintenance person said that there were cats all around the area and the Workers a couple houses down sad cats are wild. Looking from the top balcony, you could see shanty town of animals was really unattractive, and there were groups of cats that I thought during the day.

A lovely family holiday!
We have just arrived home from a wonderful week at Casa Betel villa! A family of 11, between the ages of 3 and 62, the accommodation suited all of our needs perfectly. The pool was perfect for the children to enjoy safely and the pool heating was such a huge bonus! The location is great, walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beautiful local beach. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay here!

Perfect getaway!
I stayed at Casa Betel with 5 friends and the villa truly exceeded our expectations. Wonderfully spacious with lots of bathrooms and gorgeous garden and pool area. We particularly loved the heated pool and outdoor eating area. These were all cleaned and tidied on the Friday of our stay but it didn’t take long. We didn’t have a BBQ but maybe next time! We loved that the kitchen was well equipped too, although we thought if we were cooking for more people we may have struggled with the single oven. The dishwasher and washing machine were so handy. Location wise, it was quiet (but we were in off season). Other reviewers said beware of the cockerels but they didn’t bother me and the sheep were cute. Loved Santa Rota itself. Not at all built up or too touristy. A few nice shops and restaurants (I’m sure more open in high season). The beach, sand dunes and boardwalk were all glorious. All in all a perfect ladies get away, I’m sure we will be back! Thank you

Great family villa.
We stayed in early spring and the weather suited us perfectly, not too hot but warm enough to enjoy the outdoors. Glad we paid to have the pool heated at this time of year. Nice layout of villa for a mixed family group. We enjoyed playing pool, darts and table tennis. The local area was very quiet at this time of year which was lovely. The local food is very fish and shellfish orientated and was beautiful. Day trips out to Tavira and Vila Real de Santo Antonio were highlights. Thankyou Andrew and Else.

We had an amazing time even if the weather was not as Sunny as we expected. The heated pool saved our holiday due to the weather and everyone really enjoyed themselves. A rental car is a must as there is so much to see and do around the area. Andrew was on hand if we had any issues. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

Spectacular!
This beautiful home is exactly as advertised! We stayed as a multi-generational family of 11 and had plenty of spaces and supplies for everyone. There were plenty of lounge chairs around the pool and the warm temperature of the pool was welcome in March. The beds were comfortable and the number of bathrooms amazing. We walked to the beach and boardwalk daily and ran on the beach. The supermarket, restaurants, butcher and bakery in the village were wonderful. The people were very kind as we tried out our Portuguese. We look forward to returning regularly!

A special and wonderful place to stay.
Casa Betel was a dream to stay at. We were 8 family members staying for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year's. The house exceeded our hopes and was wonderful for us. It is very spacious and well laid out, and has everything you could possibly need. Extremely well supplied, comfortable and homelike. We enjoyed outdoor time in the garden with the pool and mandarin tree, made freshly squeezed orange juice with fruit from the tree, wonderful meals at the spacious dining table and the beds were comfy and bathrooms modern. All was super clean. Andrew and Elsie were incredibly responsive and helpful. they even delivered a turkey to us, ordered from a local butcher. The village was so charming, with a local grocery store, cafes and restaurants all within a block or two's walk. The village is well located and close to many places. We drove to Seville for a day, only a l.5 hour's drive. The beach is spectacular and a five minute walk. Christmas Eve sunset at the beach is a memory we will not soon forget. We highly recommend this house and hope to be back.

We had our family of 10 stay very comfortably & thoroughly enjoyed our week! It is charming and has plenty of room for all of us. Hosts were wonderful… responsive and helpful! The highlights were Old Times restaurant which is a short walk from the house, sea kayaking into the sea caves and a day spent in Sevilla Spain which is only an hour or so away! We will definitely be returning!

Fantastic Villa
The villa is lovely and is in a great location, almost everything was perfect. Just a couple of very small things that prevent a 5 star review. The pool cues needed replacing,there was no chalk and the outside lights in the courtyard did not work. This meant that it was not possible to make proper use of the games advertised on the listing as you could not play in the evenings due to light.

Fantastic Villa in a lovely seaside location
Everything about the property and location was excellent. 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms were more than enough for our group of ten. We did Yoga on the terrace in the morning and evening and spent the day in the heated pool. The beach was just a 9 minute walk away and there were 2 local restaurants just steps away. The location was so quiet we all slept well and we cooked every night in the well designed kitchen which had everything we needed. There were enough sun beds for us all. A wonderful stay thank you and we will be booking again

Beautiful Casa Betel
I organised a 60th birthday treat for my sister with seven other adults and two children 8 years, and 5 years old. From the initial booking, which was simple and very easy, Andrew the host, was always on hand to help out and responded promptly. He recommended transport to and from the airport which went smoothly. A big thank you to Edite who Andrew recommended for the journey to and from the airport. The villa was beautiful. The gardens, the pool area, the internal rooms were all beautifully presented. The kitchen was fantastic, with everything you could think of. The use of a washing machine was great with the small children. All the rooms were lovely, everyone was happy with their choice of room. The lounge was lovely and spacious with three sofas, tv with satellite although we never turned it on! We did have a go on the piano at the rear of the lounge one night, so much fun. We explored Manta Rota, found some great restaurants, and Mars Bar was one of our favourites simply because it was simple. The food was fantastic, the price great, and although it isn’t upmarket it definitely is worth visiting. Local shops and supermarkets are less than 10 mins from the villa which was handy. There’s a fish shop two mins away but I think it’s only open in the mornings. All in all, we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing family break. There’s plenty of exploring to do with the train station about 25 min walk away, where you can get to all the neighbouring towns. We went to Tavira, and Faro, although there were strikes on which was a bit annoying so there were delays, but again, it didn’t spoil our stay. Thank you Andrew for sharing your beautiful villa, it was an amazing week, and I hope we can stay again in the future.

Perfect Holiday
Our family of ten, including four grandchildren (5 and under) just spent a wonderful month at Casa Betel in Manta Rota. The villa was perfect! The two families with their children stayed on the main floor. The remaining adults were upstairs and it was completely sound proof from the early rising children each morning. Beds were all comfortable and hot water and pressure in the showers were great. The living area had comfortable couches, lots of seating for everyone The kitchen was well equipped (we did add a blender, as we are all smoothy junkies each morning). A small washing machine and two drying racks were a bonus. We enjoyed the heated pool daily, lots of lounge chairs and a spacious deck for the children to play. The orange tree was a HUGE bonus, as we had fresh orange juice each morning. The children enjoyed the grassy courtyard. Ladies came twice while we were there to change bedding and towels. The yard and pool were attended to several times. It was a perfect location, close to some wonderful restaurants and cafe's, a butcher shop and grocery store. A short walk to the boardwalk and endless beaches. A two kilometre walk to the Cacela Train Station.(love train travel in Europe!) The local rooster(s), and sheep were great entertainment. We did have a couple of issues that needed attention and Andrew was quick to address them. Thank you for letting us enjoy your villa, great family memories were made.
