It is approximately 40 minutes’ drive from Faro airport.
The immediate area is undeveloped, yet only a few minutes away from shops, restaurants, beaches, a golf course, and 10 minutes’ drive from Albufeira and Armacao de Pera.

Why here
The different seasons on the Algarve all have their own distinctive atmospheres. In spring, the wild flowers are stunning, in summer the shade provided by the cabana makes the pool area a lovely location to rest and relax away from busy beaches.
The main reason for coming here is the complete relaxation afforded by the villa location. It is the last property at the end of a dead end lane, with extensive views to the South and East.
The Algarve has numerous attractions, with water parks, Zoomarine and a number of golf courses all within 30 minutes’ drive. There are a variety of local beaches from 3.5km of golden sand at Gale all the way to Armaco de Parra, to small coves each with its own distinctive beach bar. The choice of restaurants is large and varied; all tastes are catered for.

Leave ReviewWarm October in the Algarve
By John on 29-Sep-2024We had a lovely stay at Casa Dos Leoes and wish we could have stayed longer. Ralph was quick to respond and answered all of our upfront questions. Arrival was seamless, and the property managers and housekeeper couldn't have been more helpful. The house is in a nice quiet area but still easy to access nearby town for restaurants and supermarket (we didn't have a car). The pool area is the highlight, and we spent many days on the BBQ'ing and chilling on sun loungers. Inside the house had everything we needed for our stay. We very much hope to visit again in the future!

Peaceful location - beautiful villa
By Vanessa Lacey on 03-Aug-2023We booked just a few weeks before our departure and the process was easy and professional with the owner. The villa is as described in that you feel as though you are away from the crowds but close enough to walk to great restaurants and the beach. The villa was perfectly clean and really has everything you need and with only the wind in the trees and beautiful surrounding plants, its very relaxing and peaceful. The pool is big and clean and very private - our only visitors were swallows and house martins dipping in the pool with us. The Cabana was a perfect shady retreat to read or enjoy the evening as it cooled down. It was very busy in August, however, we visited small beaches in the evening and had the whole place to ourselves. (Praia dos Arriffes - 10 minutes by car) Also had an amazing fish lunch at the restaurant there right on that beach. Would recommend a trip to Silves and the castle (we went in the morning before the crowds). By far the best local restaurant was Sao Domingos where we were the only English people, surrounded by locals and some French visitors - you really won't be disappointed. A truly wonderful place to stay and a memorable holiday for us.
Ideal location and villa
By Rachel Keatley on 23-Jul-2023Thank you for allowing us to stay at your little bit of Portuguese paradise! The villa was absolutely perfect for us and ideally located. It really felt we were in a friend's home rather than a characterless rental. The pool was perfect for us, and the girls, and we thoroughly enjoyed the space and facilities the villa offered us. Walking distance to lovely restaurants and Aldi meant days were able to spent at the villa but driving into armação de Pêra was easy. Thank you again, we hope we will be able to stay at casa dos LEOES again soon.
