  : loved the pool area , garden, living space, bedroom and bathroom. can rave enough about the house that we stayed in and arranged transfer for us to the airport for early departure. Susana is a very kind host and also Martha was great to drop us to the airport. the view from the property is priceless. the property is on a steep hill. everything in the property is as it seems. you also share the pool with the other guests who stay on the property. you dont have the same entrance as them and have different levels we stayed in the top apartment. the property had a herb, salad and fruit garden that you could pick from
  : coffee machine wasnt clean and didnt work properly initially the property was double booked but the issue was sorted out within the hour, very stressful to deal with but as soon as Susana was able to deal with the issue everything was handled with care. if you are booking this property contact the host to ensure youre their only people booked for your stay. Susana did do her best to make it up to us, ensured we had everything we needed and more, sweet treats, fruits, we had beer and water on arrival. if it wasnt for this initial problem I wouldve given the property a 10/10.

  : Love the place. It was perfect for us three. Just a shame we couldn't make use of the pool so much as it was cold- couldn't be helped as it was in February. Susana was very kind to let us check-in early. She looked after us very well. Loved the welcome fruits and wine plus the cake that she baked us. It's also very nice of them to allow us to pick fruits and herbs in the garden.
  : Nothing really

  : Bordal House consists of two separate flats on top of each other and even though the pool is shared, the top apartment with its own patio was very private. Very tastefully furnished with great attention to detail. Fully equipped kitchen and nice, large bathroom. The hosts were super friendly and helpful and provided us with a delicious chocolate cake and Madeira wine upon arrival. The garden is full of fruit trees, a vegetable pad, and tons of fresh herbs that you're free to harvest. The outdoor space of the house was also well-maintained and looked after.
  : Unfortunately there was a construction site behind the house (July 2022) of which the host informed us. Nothing they can influence but something to keep in mind if you're looking to spend more time at the pool or traveling with small children (also keep in mind that there is no parking on the super steep road so you need to walk up or down every time you need to get to the car). There were a lot of flies which weren't super annoying but insect nets in front of all windows would have been great to keep them out.
