Description

Imagine sharing a villa in a great location, with the luxury of space, in a lovey rural setting with extensive views towards Lagos and the sea, with your family and friends?

Quinta das Casuarinas is away from any developments! Just outside the village of Portelas - the village has a small shop, a bar and a couple of typical Portuguese restaurants serving BBQd fresh fish, prawns etc . it is only a stones throw away from Lagos and all its 21st century facilities.

A comfortable, family friendly villa set in three acres and with a pool surrounded by a large terrace - all just for you!

With the added bonus of several spots to escape the crowd with a good book or just to spend time in contemplation. Then lovely areas for getting together for BBQs, drinks, coffees and afternoon tea!

Quinta das Casuarinas for over 30 years, has been our beautiful, spacious, comfortable, first or second home.

The villa is set in 3 acres of mature grounds and although not isolated, has a wonderful feeling of privacy and is surrounded by fencing and / or hedging.

A perfect location, just a short drive into Lagos and everything it has to offer.

Family friendly and spacious.

My Web Site has lots of extra photos, information and a floor plan and emails from guests since 2021 .

So to get a more complete picture please visit my Quinta das Casuarinas web site .

Our southerly panoramic views are towards the village of Portelas and the historic old town of Lagos ( only 2 miles away) and the sea where there are miles of beautiful clean, sandy beaches. There are Beach bars aplenty for drinks, coffees, ice creams, salads, delicious fresh fish, chicken piri piri, delicious garlic prawns ---- and many other tasty options!

Bougainvillea, Morning glory, Oleander and Acacias grow abundantly around the villa.

There are many covered, shaded areas for escaping the midday sun - one of which overlooks the huge securable pool terrace and our new Octagonal Pergola on the pool terrace itself, both providing seating for those that like some shade and also for the supervision of young children in and around the pool.

Plus other peaceful spots for those needing to escape the crowd for a quiet read!

The furnished alfresco dining area, with seating for up to 12 people and a large BBQ, is just above the pool terrace. There are speakers for your own music here --- just plug in your MP3 player / phone etc---

Looking west there are further covered areas ( just outside the family sitting-room / kitchen ) - a second dining area, great for breakfast or meals away from the pool. Plus a comfortable outside ‘sitting-room’ from which to enjoy your morning coffee or evening drinks with a view of the garden and setting sun.

There are many beautiful golf courses within easy driving distance. Tennis courts in Lagos. Water sports on local beaches . Horse riding stables. Plus surfing only a 1/2 hour drive away on the west coast.

We have all mod cons! Telephone, Wi-Fi with boosters , New TV set top box - with a wide selection of channels and many current films included. A DVD player, lots of DVDs and books ( including reference books & a library of cookery books!).

Our friend Carla meets and greets at a time agreed between you. She is reliable, fluent in English and Portuguese, is willing to baby sit. She is just a phone call away, to help and advise on anything and everything - sort out any problems --- however small..
Lovely Ascensao keeps the villa and surrounding terraces spotless and waters the pots of herbs! She spots little problems before you have noticed anything is amiss!
Ben cleans the pool and is also only a phone call away and is brilliant in any emergency.

Some of our guests extend their holidays by flying to & from Lisbon or Seville, spending a night or two discovering those lovely cities and enjoying the drive or train to Lagos and the West Algarve --- with the added bonus that sometimes, there are better flight deals flying to these airports!

Coast/Beach:

We are 5 minutes drive away from many beautiful sandy beaches all around Lagos. On Meia Praia you can walk or run for several miles. Windsurfing, sailing, water skiing and jet skiing all available. There is surfing and surf schools on the west coast beaches 1/2 hours drive away. Day trips and equipment can be organised from Lagos, or you can hire boards etc on Cordoama and Armado Beaches.

Occasionally you can surf on the south coast too - but there are no hire facilities here.

Our prices are in Pounds Sterling. However payment can also be made in Euros at whatever the exchange rate is at the time.

FOR SMOKERS ! We ask that smoke outside and use the ashtrays that are provided - Thank you

Peaceful privacy in a great location

By Moira Allsopp on 17-Aug-2024

Loved the peacefulness of the villa, secluded but very near to Lagos for grocery shopping and sightseeing. Very easy to find with good communication and directions from Jill the owner. Villa is large so plenty of space for families and the pool was brilliant, lots of fun and cooling in the heat. Loads of useful kitchen equipment for self catering like us and we made use of the various outdoor dining areas which we loved. Overall we had a fab holiday here and thought the Villa to be traditional and comfy so thank you Jill for your great communication with everything.

Perfect Family Holiday

By Sue P & family on 22-Aug-2020

We stayed as a family of 9 (6 adults & 3 children) at Quinta das Casurinas for 2 weeks in late August. We were so lucky to have booked this villa last October for a family birthday celebration unaware of the pandemic which unfolded 5 months later! Throughout the ensuing months of uncertainty the owner was in constant contact, handling our dilemma over the uncertainty of our travel with patience & great understanding as we only finally decided to go on the very last minute! Our decision to stay here as a family turned out to be the perfect solution as the villa more than fulfilled our requirements. We were able to have a perfect holiday as a family & enjoy the fabulous weather the Algarve is famous for. We all enjoyed the beautiful pool every day & were never short of somewhere to sunbathe or rest in the shade as the grounds of the villa offer so many different areas to explore. The villa had everything (&more) for a perfect family holiday in very uncertain times. We felt very safe and were able to sample a couple of the many seafood restaurants in nearby Lagos in a “COVID-19 safe environment”. Special mention too to the housekeeper Asencao who kept the villa spotlessly clean and was on hand to help us when our car had a puncture & arranged for a garage mechanic to come & remove & repair the tyre for us (the same day!!) We highly recommend Quinta das Casuarinas for the perfect family holiday!!

It felt very familiar from the first minute and made us feel welcome. The Landlady was ever so helpful with all our questions before and during our visit, even in these difficult to travel times. All Covid safety regulations were followed on the spot an we felt safe all the time. I can only recommend a visit to Portugal, and if you go, make this house your home.

“Beautiful House and Garden”

By Frazer on 21-Oct-2017

This house is large, clean and well-stocked. The outside spaces are wonderful: a lawn, several patios, pool, arbor, bougainvillea and lots of beautful potted plants. You also have a view over Lagos and the valley. The owner was extremely accommodating, even sending over a friend to answer questions and explain how things worked. The housekeeper came by every day and was helpful. Owner's reply: We are very happy that you enjoyed your time staying in our house - particularly as you had come all the way from the US, with your extended family, to celebrate your wedding anniversary --- a long way from home! We wish you both many more happy celebrations wherever you may be!

“Fabulous holiday”

By Jane on 30-Jul-2017

Oh, what a wonderful holiday! This is a fabulous villa, so spacious and well equipped and in a beautiful and tranquil setting. The charming town of Lagos is just 2 miles away, as are the closest beaches, but we often chose to remain at the villa and enjoy a peaceful swim in the large pool. We had a mixed group of adults and children over the two weeks and Jill was so helpful in providing lots of advance information. The daily maid service from the delightful Ascencao, was a great bonus, and the manageress, Gabriela, was very well informed and provided lots of local information and suggestions for day trips. We all fell in love with Quinta das Casuarinas and didn't want to leave!

“Perfect for Large Family Celebration”

By Grimshaw on 10-Jun-2017

We were having a family celebration for a 70th and a 40th birthday. There were 11 of us from 3 generations comprising of 6 adults and 5 children with ages ranging from 15 months to 71 years of age. We could not have wished for a more perfect place to celebrate. Jill has been most helpful in every way including ordering and arranging delivery of our shopping order for when we arrived. On our arrival Gabriela visited and gave us lots of helpful information. The villa is in a lovely setting only a short drive from Lagos. It is most comfortable with loads of living space and everything one could possibly need is provided. The pool and poolside are a great feature with plenty of sun loungers, shade and beautiful flowering shrubs. The children spent every possible moment they could in the pool and of course the adults enjoyed swimming in it as well. Ascencao, the lovely maid, kept everywhere beautifully clean for us. Our week here passed all too quickly and we were all very sad to leave and wished we could have stayed longer. Many thanks to Jill for providing such a perfect setting.
