Rural and quiet
The windmill and annex building were great. The walled courtyard was really nice. I was not thrilled with the town itself but this being just outside of town made the stay very enjoyable. The host was very easy to communicate with and seemed really nice. If I were to stay in the area again I would stay here. Very enjoyable!

Très belle semaine au Moulin. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour au Moulin . Idéalement situé a proximité de plusieurs plages et villages touristiques. La maison est décorée avec beaucoup de goût et de charmes. Les lits sont très confortables (nous avons dormis dans le moulin) et le paysages est magnifique. Nous ne regrettons pas d'avoir choisis un endroit un peu plus loin des stations balneaires pour profiter du paysage. Fred et Laura ont toujours été disponibles lorsque nous avions besoin de quelque chose ou que nous avions des questions. Un petit bémol: il n'y a pas de bons couteaux (couteaux de cuisine aiguisés).

Truncated March 2020 stay
We had booked for the full month of March, 2020. Due to flight delays we arrived after dark and property manager Fred made himself available to guide us. There were just two of us, and we stayed in the annex, which was a bit easier to heat on chilly mornings. It is roomy and well equipped, good wi-fi. There is some travel literature, and the guest book is full of good recommendations from previous guests. We had plans to move into the mill later in the month, but had to cut our trip short due to the CV-19 travel restrictions. We really enjoyed our stay. It is very rural, with about :15 minutes walk to Cercal, shops and restaurants. We did day trips by car to Lagos, Sines, and other coastal villages, and overnight to Evora and the area, as well as lots of local walks, including the 16 km. to Porto Covo on our last day (took a cab back). Local food and wine (and coffee and pastry) is good and reasonable. The property is very private (cows and sheep as neighbours), and the pool got less skull-numbingly cold as the month went on. We hadn't really expected to be able to use it at all, so it was a nice cold plunge after a morning run. Fred, the property manager, was very helpful and attentive, and looked after things very well. Keith was very accommodating with our early departure. In sum, it suited us to a T, and we hope to be able to return.

Beautiful! Very atmospheric and unique. Lots of charm and character but good modern facilities.
Windmill Hill is just as it sounds ! A windmill on a hill overlooking beautiful countryside and when the weather is fair, a sunny spot to relax and unwind. The Mill, Annexe, garden, courtyard and pool were well maintained and would comfortably sustain a family holiday for 6 particularly in the summer months. Our visit wasn't blessed with best weather sadly but this did not detract from the beauty of the setting or the hospitality that the Mill afforded us. It was pretty chilly in the evening tho' and blankets and hot water bottles ( provided at the property) were put to good use as were the heaters. Cosy inside once the heaters kicked in, the kitchen was simply but well equipped and family suppers were enjoyed around the beautiful large dining table. Fred, the manager, was welcoming and helpful and showed us around on our arrival. The owners were also very helpful and responded to queries efficiently and courteously. We would definitely recommend Windmill Hill to anyone wanting to enjoy peace and tranquility and beautiful countryside. Being almost a two hour drive from Faro it had the additional benefit for us of being removed from the tourist areas. Few people spoke English so it felt that we were experiencing a true taste of Portugal . It is a beautiful place to stay and we highly recommend it.

Schöner Rückzugsort
Tolle alte Windmühle mit vollständig ummauerten Grundstück. Privatsphäre top, die Windmühle und die Anbauten sind im guten wenn auch nicht mehr im besten Zustand (v.a. die Bäder). Der Pool ist gross und angenehm temperiert. Einzig die Küchenausstattung fanden wir etwas dürftig und man muss gegen Ameisen gewappnet sein.

Estadia no Moinho
Correu tudo bem, boa comunicação com os responsáveis pela casa, o que ficou a fazer "falta" foi a tv, visto só haver canais alemães e franceses e nenhum portugues como mencionaram, e numa altura em que devido ao covid está tudo fechado não tinhamos principalmente o que fazer à noite. De resto, correu tudo bem com boas condições.

Kleiner Traumurlaub auf dem Lande
Zu der Urlaubszeit (Anfang bis Mitte November) ist Portugal absolut empfehlenswert. Das Wetter ist zwar dann meist etwas wechselhafter, aber was denn Tourismus angeht hatten wir, besonders in den Städten, eine sehr ruhige Zeit. Die Lage der Mühle ist sehr idyllisch, etwas abseits von Cercal, auf einer kleinen Anhöhe gelegen. Im Haus funktioniert alles gut, inklusive der Kamin in der Mühle, welcher das ein oder andere Mal gute Dienste geleistet hat. WLAN ist vorhanden, deutsche TV Sender auch zur Genüge empfangbar. Der Pool war auch noch sehr sauber und wurde einmal genutzt... Fred der Hausverwalter ist nett, versteht Deutsch, spricht und versteht sehr gut Englisch. Alles in allem sehr gut. Obrigada!

Top Unterkunft für einen ruhigen Urlaub
Die Mühle ist eine sehr schöne Unterkunft in einer wunderschönen Umgebung. Zwar weht immer ein Wind und je nach Jahreszeit kann der auch ziemlich kühl sein - aber dafür können die Betreiber nichts -:). Alles was man für einen schönen und entspannten Urlaub braucht, ist vorhanden. Fred, der gute Geist wohnt in der Nähe und schaut 2x die Woche nach Voranmeldung nach dem Pool und den Pflanzen und steht mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung, falls mal was nicht so optimal sein sollte. Alles hat während unserem Aufenthalt reibungslos geklappt. Cercal, eine kleine beschauliche Stadt, die verpflegungsseitig aber alles beitet, ist Ausgangsetappe von 2 Abschnitten des Historic-Trails der Rota Vicentina (einer ans Meer nach Porto Covo, der andere nach Sao Luis). Darüber hinaus gibt es einen Rundwanderweg von 7.5 km Länge. Aber auch rund um die Mühle gibt es jede Menge zu erwandern. Und danach erfrischt ein für Ferienimmobilien doch sehr großer Pool.

Espaço maravilhoso. A apontar: Achamos que deviam renovar as torneiras da casa de banho do moinho. Estando a propriedade em Portugal consideramos que os diversos avisos, além de em inglês, também deveriam estar em português, pois naturalmente vários portugueses poderão alugar a propriedade. No nosso caso tínhamos uma pessoa que não sabia inglês e foi necessário traduzir. Pelo mesmo motivo achamos que a televisão principal no anexo deveria ter canais portugueses.

Hele leuke woning met molen. Alle voorzieningen prima. Mooi zwembad. Prachtig uitzicht.
We loved the mill, the house, the swimmingpool, everything! And the very beautiful view. So pleased we booked this place. Fred was very helpfull. Cercal had a lot of festivals during our stay (haha). And we bought some ceremics from Matu in Cercal. Milfontes was lovely and we have seen a lot of other cities in the neighbourhood (Santiago do Cacem, Sines, Beja, Zambojeira, Cabo St Vincentes, Lagos etc.). Almogravebeach we liked the most. We visited Lisboa. Great! Rent a boat in MiIlfontes, a waterbike near Ilha, and went horsebackriding in Porto Covo (Ilha). We were happy with your accommodation!

Das war toll! Richtig toll!
Wir haben an diesem ganz besonderen Ort 9 Tage verbracht und wir haben uns total wohl gefühlt. Die Bilder hier entsprechen 1:1 der Realität, nur können sie das Flair vor Ort und die grandiose Frühlingsstimmung mit dem herrlichen Ausblick nicht wiedergeben. Das hat uns besonders gefallen: 1. Auf dem klitzekleinen Balkon haben wir jeden Morgen gefrühstück. Das ist unglaublich "kuschelig" und es hat einen Blick ins Weite, das ist einfach toll. 2. Fred, der gute Geist vor Ort. Er wartet (natürlich vorangemeldet) 2x die Woche den Pool und ist erreichbar, wenn man einen Wunsch hat (was nicht der Fall war, aber ein gutes Gefühl gibt es dennoch). Das Procedere CheckIn, CheckOut und Co. ist easy und völlig entspannt gelöst. 3. Alles, was wir uns nur wünschen konnten, ist da und funktioniert. 4. Der Sternenhimmel nachts ist durch das fehlende Licht außenherum und die schönen Möglichkeiten, sich draußen hinzusetzen/-legen grandios. 5. Im Ort bekommt man ebenfalls alles, was man braucht und mehr. Selbst wenn wir intensiv nachdenken, fällt uns nichts ein, was wir bemängeln könnten. Resümeé: 1. Herrlich 2. SEHR zu empfehlen für alle, die eher Ruhe und Flair suchen (Party ist nicht die Kernkompetenz der Gegend) und die einen absolut außergewöhnlichen Ort genießen wollen. Nachtrag: Die Strände außenherum sind mit ihren Buchten, dem irgendwie immer hohen Wellengang und den teilweise bizarren Felsen umwerfend.

Wunderschön und außergewöhnlich
Vom ersten Kontakt mit dem Vermieter bis zur Abreise verlief alles absolut super! Die Windmühle ist ein wirklich cooler Ort!! Das ganze Anwesen sieht wirklich so aus wie auf den Fotos. Man sieht die Mühle, die auf einem Hügel über dem Ort throhnt schon von weitem. Dort oben wehte immer ein erfrischender Wind, dadurch hatten wir fast gar keine Insekten, außer einigen schönen großen Schmetterlingen. Die Mühle selbst bietet einen großen Schlafraum mit kingsize Bett ganz oben unter dem Dach. Von dort hat man einen tollen Blick weit über das Land 360 Grad. In dem Nebengebäude befindet sich noch ein Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbett, ein weiteres Bad und eine große Wohnküche mit langem Esstisch. Wir haben allerdings meistens draußen gegessen, wo zwischen Mühle und Nebengebäude ein Tisch aus einem alten Mühlstein steht mit einem Strohdach, das von einem alten Wagenrad gehalten wird. Das ganze Anwesen ist so individuell und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, dass wir es jederzeit einem "normalen" Haus vorziehen würden. Der Pool ist übrigens nicht beheizt und daher eine echte Erfrischung! Ringsum die Mühle liegen einige Bauernhöfe mit Gänsen, Hühnern und Rindern.
