Casa Cristina is in the hills above Almancil, a town close to Faro airport and to the Quinta Do Lago and Vale Do Lobo resorts and the many beaches nearby. The villa's hillside location offers a great view from its large terrace to the sea and a cooling breeze often blows even in the height of summer.

Downstairs there is a games room with a pool table and table tennis table, satellite television with Sky Sports and movies. The private pool has a safety fence around it so families with small children can relax. There is also a boules court in the garden under the orange trees. At the back of the villa, there is a private tennis court (due to be resurfaced in 2025). For days at the beach there are umbrellas, body boards and beach games.
