About this property

Superb Villa 10 Mins From Carvoeiro & Beach, near Silves Golf, Totally Private

Our villa Casa Fraqueza is perfect for families of all ages, very private, safe and luxurious set in the heart of the Algarve, read all our reviews to get an insight and to see if it suits your party, if it does contact us and we will put together a package to make your holiday really wonderful. The main pool can be heated and set to your perfect swimming temperature which makes holidays any time of year extra special.
The pools have discreet safety gates to protect toddlers and young children that are non swimmers, the added bonus is that there is a 25 metre garden area from the villa giving the extra protection of distance. The pool can be floodlit plus lighting throughout the beautiful gardens making evenings particularly spectacular, what could be better than to cook a fantastic meal on a huge charcoal BBQ with your own food and drink, then enjoy on a covered patio, after which those that are energetic can play ping pong or a game on the pool table or while away the evening under the stars playing cards or board games or chill in the summerhouse and just chat or play music as loud as you like, there are no other holidaymakers to upset (nor are there any to annoy you), then drift off to sleep in a King Size bedroom air conditioned to perfection.
During the day Basketball, Football, Boules/Pétanque, Badminton, Rifle shooting (air gun) etc re all available and all free and exclusively for you, note; the rifle shooting is in a separate area within our two and a half acre boundaries but away from the main groomed garden and must be supervised by a responsible adult after a brief induction, for safety reasons the rifle not stored within the villa.
Seating is in different areas throughout the garden complemented by a new poolside bar which is unstaffed and solely for your use, a relaxing glass of whatever takes your fancy and a midnight dip in the warm water sometimes becomes irresistible!
On arrival day a fabulous welcome pack greets all our guests and ensures you do not go to bed hungry or thirsty after a hard day travelling. A fully prepared BBQ ready for you to cook with charcoal laid under a scrupulously clean griddle is available as an optional extra, we give you a choice of quality food with succulent prime meat for main course served with beer or soft drinks plus pre select your preferred wine type, starter and dessert included, details on request.
We live nearby at the gatehouse and cannot oversee nor overhear any of your private area and never interfere except for essential cleaning and maintenance at regular timed intervals but we are on hand in case of breakdowns or you run out of something essential or maybe you need advice about best eateries for example, there are no uncaring agents to deal with, occasionally things go wrong we deal with them immediately.
The historic city of Silves is beautiful, once the capital of the Algarve then a separate state to Portugal, the city is dominated by its castle, wander the cobbled streets, visit the market and try one of the many bars and cafes, here you can eat the most delicious Chicken Piri Piri that tastes so delicious and it's nothing like the copied version of Nandos sold in the UK.
Luckily one of the best restaurants in the Algarve the famous O'Barradas (great for celebratory meals) is only a short stroll away or one minute by car, lovely fish and veal.
Carvoeiro with its busy nightlife and the beach is 10 mins by car, favourite beaches include Albandeira, Benagil and Praia da Marinha, all are stunningly dramatically and beautiful.
Our coakstline between Armacao de Pera and Praia da Rocha is the most beautiful in the Algarve, possibly the world, there are breathtaking cliff top walks and hidden coves to explore along with an abundance of restaurants to sample.
Golf; three courses within 5 minutes, Silves, Gramacho and Val da Pinta, lots more within a 15 minute drive radius.
Waterparks; the brilliant Slide and Splash is 5 mins away, also very good is Aqualand 8 mins away, check them out online.
Finally we know the best local restaurants where a 3 course meal with half a litre of wine and coffee can be had for under £15!
WiFi is up to 200 Mbps in the villa lounge, poolside still a very capable 25 Mbps.
Car hire is advisable, but with Uber readily available it is doable without a car.

Fabulous holiday at Casa Fraqueza.
We had a fantastic stay at Casa Fraqueza. Peter and Linda are great hosts and from booking right through to our departure, nothing was too much trouble. Communication from Peter was brilliant (and hilarious at times!) The welcome pack and BBQ pack, which gets a mention in every review is like nothing we’ve experienced before in many years of villa holidays. Peter and Linda even bought some pizzas in for our hungry teenagers as we arrived late on our first night. The villa, pool and gardens are lovely with plenty of space for the eight of us and lots to do for everyone. The villa is quite near to the medieval town of Silves where there are some superb restaurants, shops a castle and cathedral. We visited Carvoeiro, Alvor and the nearby water park Slide and Splash which the kids loved. All in all a great holiday with friends and family with lovely hosts. Thank you Peter and Linda.

Fantastic Family Villa
We had a wonderful one week stay at Casa Fraqueza. Peter and Linda are fantastic hosts and were very easy to communicate with on the lead up to and throughout our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble. We arrived to the most generous welcome pack, a real treat! The location of the villa is great, nearby to many great attractions but also off the beaten track for privacy and lovely views. The villa has everything you could want when on holiday, large bedrooms all with en-suites and fantastic pools. We would highly recommend this villa. Thanks again Peter and Linda x

Fantastic property, had everything you could possibly need. The pool area and gardens were just beautiful. As a family of 8 adults we had plenty of space to enjoy activities together but also plenty of areas if you just wanted to chill quietly by yourself. The villa is slightly off the beaten track which makes it very peaceful, we didn't hire a car to get about we used ubers and found this to be an easy way to get around. The hosts Peter & Linda were amazing they couldnt do enough for you and always on hand if any problems and the welcome pack they provide is 2nd to none. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return one day.

Casa Fraqueza
Casa Fraqueza is quite simply the best villa we have holidayed in. The property is everything as described and probably a bit more! The main pool was bigger than we expected and set in a lovely, colourful and spacious garden area. We made full use of the pool table and had the occasional game of table tennis. All the bedrooms are of a good size with ensuites, tv's and air conditioning. The lounge area is huge and furnished well and a good kitchen facility topped it off, not forgetting the BBQ and a big patio area for alfresco dining! Peter and Linda live close by but understand the need for guest privacy and were of great assistance when we needed them on a couple of occasions. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Casa Fraqueza to anyone and just hope that you enjoy your holiday as much as we did!

Everything you need and more is in this villa waiting for you. A huge welcome pack of food to last you a couple of days. Amazing BBQ for first night including drinks. Although the villa is next to other properties it is still quiet. The local road can be heard but it doesn’t intrude too much. Peter and Linda work hard to make sure you have everything needed. We had fire wood and blankets as it turned chilly in the evenings which was a lovely touch. Don’t hesitate to book as you won’t be dissapointed. Thank you Peter and Linda for letting us use you beautiful villa. X

Perfect family villa!
Peter & Linda were so welcoming to us, a genuinely lovely couple. They work hard to make your stay great, thinking of every little detail you may need during your stay, including a very generous welcome basket! The villa was spotless and lovely and comfortable. We had 2 teenagers with us and there was stuff for them to do too like pool, table tennis, petanque, basket ball, footie etc. The pools are lovely and lots of nice shade if needed. The gardens are beautiful (including lovely, fresh limes off the trees to have with our rum & cokes!). Everything felt very relaxed and perfect for some family time. Silves is a short drive away with lots of lovely places to eat. All in all, could not fault our family holiday. Thank you so much!

Fabulous villa , wonderful hosts.
We had a wonderful week here with our children and grandchildren and couldn't have asked for more. The villa is stunning, very well appointed and equipped, extremely clean and comfortable. The gardens are beautiful and the pool area fabulous, with the added bonus of a child's pool for the little ones. Linda and Peter were perfect hosts - friendly, kind and always available if needed, but very unobtrusive. The welcome pack was a revelation - never had such a large and varied one before and we honestly could have avoided shopping for two days had we chosen to! The BBQ was wonderful too - great food, all prepared and ready to go, which was great after a day's travelling with little ones. We wouldn't hestitate to return and will be recommending to friends and family too. Thank you Linda and Peter for a wonderful holidays - many happy memories made.

A Little Piece of Heaven in the Algarve
A family group of 3 generations, we have just returned from a wonderful 2 week stay at Casa Fraqueza. This beautiful villa is located in the heart of the Portuguese countryside with wonderful views across the valley. The villa is in an ideal location, close to a number of small towns, beaches and theme parks, all within a 15 - 20 mins drive. On arrival, we were given such a warm welcome by Peter and Linda who are exceptional hosts, extremely friendly and always on hand to offer recommendations for local places to eat and visit. They are truly a genuine and sincere couple who we now consider our friends. The extensive welcome pack, the best by far of any we’ve ever had, contained good quality produce and offered everything that you would require for the first few days without having to rush out to the supermarkets. We took advantage of the optional BBQ and found that once again the meat was of best quality and all accompanying salads, cheeses, pickles and desserts were delicious. Included with the BBQ were good quality wines and cold beers. Linda’s homemade bolognese was available for the children, again superb and went down a treat. The spacious hilltop villa is set in the most beautiful gardens. It is furnished to an exceptionally high standard, immaculately clean and feels like a home from home (could live there for ever!!!!) A really good sized kitchen is equipped with every gadget imaginable. I cooked a full Sunday lunch with ease as every utensil I needed was there. Both the adult and children’s pools and all paths are cleaned daily. For sun worshippers, there are plenty of comfortable sun beds and parasols and to relax around the pool a number of tables, chairs, double swing seat and a pool side bar, which was extensively used for afternoon 'happy hours'. The sports equipment for the children and adults again was superb. Peter and Linda encouraged us to use the in-season fruit from the orange and lime trees and salad vegetables from their garden. This was such a treat. The highlight for the children was undoubtedly the feeding of the chickens and guinea pigs in the pet garden. Something they are still talking about. A fabulous holiday in a stunning 5 star villa, topped off with beautiful and genuine owners, what more could you possibly want from your holiday. Thank you Peter and Linda, we will be back xxx Can’t recommend this villa highly enough, if there was a 10 star rating that’s what I would give it!!!!

Perfect return visit....
We visited Casa fraqueza 5 years ago and vowed to return as we had such a good time. We returned this year and were not disappointed. The place is spotless, every detail is considered, not just the obvious things like clean bedding and towels, but every little detail, including an excellent welcome pack which when travelling with 4 children avoided the need to visit the supermarket for at least 24 Hours.... the pool is amazing and the grounds of the villa are maintained to a luxury standard with trees and plants adding to the beauty of the villa. The hosts, Pete and Linda obviously take pride in their accommodation and want you to be happy, which we were extremely! Hesitate to recommend this place as don’t want it to get booked up so we can’t go again! 😂 love it!

Just returned from a weeks holiday at the villa which was amazing. The owners Peter and Linda are an absolute joy and were very attentive and nothing was to much trouble but they also did not intrude. The villa is well located for the various beaches and towns and was well decked out. The pool was amazing and used daily even on a couple of cloudy days when it turned a little nippy in the evening. Would definitely recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastique villa - Hôtes adorables - Région à découvrir : Que du bonheur !
Nous avons passé une semaine de rêve malgré une météo pas toujours clémente en cette dernière semaine d'octobre. Nous sommes passés d'un soleil rayonnant les 4 premiers jours ce qui nous a permis de profiter de la piscine chauffée à 27 et des transats à 3 jours plus frais ce qui nous a permis de découvrir d'autres choses. Nous avons profité des activités mises à disposition à la villa : billard, ping-pong, tir à la carabine, jeux divers... et également visité Silves, sa vieille ville, son chateau, ses restaurants, un tour en bateau dans les grottes de Carvoeiro à faire absolument... Nous avons adoré l'accueil chaleureux, le barbecue, les denrées mis à notre disposition, le vin excellent offert et la discrétion de nos Hôtes. Tout était absolument parfait, j'espère que nous pourrons y retourner en y réunissant toute la famille comme cela a pu être le cas car tout le monde a vraiment apprécié de 2 ans à 60 ans. Merci Linda, Merci Peter, vous êtes vraiment des hôtes formidables !

Gorgeous Villa
We stayed for a week in mid October and couldn't have picked a better home from home. The photographs don't actually do justice to how beautiful the gardens are, the pool area is just perfect for relaxing and for kids to splash around. There are lots of different seating areas so large groups can be quite separate when required! The house is spotless, happy, and provided with absolutely everything possibly required and a special mention has to be made for the welcome pack which was quite simply the best we've ever had bar none. By quite a long way! The outside lights allowed us to play table tennis, pool and to jump in the pool after dark which was much appreciated. The owners are nearby and perfectly helpful but not intrusive; they do the pool every morning but this takes a short time and we never felt our privacy was invaded. It's a lovely authentic part of the Algarve, and handy for both the coast and the hills. In short we loved it, ages 11 to 56, and we'll be back.

Dream Villa!
Where do we start...... We arrived late at night to be greeted by Peter and Linda and were gobsmacked how perfect the villa was (even in the dark after a days travel) our welcome pack was ready and waiting and what a welcome pack everything we wanted,needed and could wish for. The villa was absolutely spotless every detail thought of (every bathroom had new toilet roll and new hand soap. Tea towels, even dishwasher tablets) the views which greeted us upon sunrise were amazing in every direction. The gardens are well kept and lovely. The pool is tip top and perfect temperature the only minus is Peters Arsenal tiling on the steps. Our kids were never bored and rarely tempted by their iPads because they had so much to do. This was a extra special holiday for us as we got married while in the algarve and wanted accommodation we would all remember forever, well we certainly will remember our stay as perfection. We thank Peter and Linda from the bottom of our hearts for our stay. We will return. We will stay in touch Paul Kath Alf and Ben

very well equipped 5* villa in stunning grounds
This was our 3rd stay at Peter and Linda's fabulous villa. We returned this year with our children who are now adults bringing their partners too, we had a wonderful time. Daily table tennis competitions and games of pool kept the "boys" quiet leaving us girls to soak up the rays around the gorgeous pool. On our first stay we thought that the villa was absolutely perfect and each stay it has just been better and better. Peter and Linda update the villa regularly, it always looks like it's just been done! The welcome pack is comprehensive, you don't need to shop for your first couple of days unless you want to. Peter and Linda are always on hand if you need them, but very discreet if you value your privacy. The photos are fabulous but you've got to see it to believe it! We struggled to tear ourselves away. We'll be back!

Excellent villa, you don't want to miss this place!
We spent hours researching for a villa to suit our needs: Grandparents, parents and three grandchildren (24, 6 and 3). This seemed to tick all the boxes. We read the reviews from previous guests and the price was extremely competitive. The pre-visit information from Peter and Linda was comprehensive, and we decided to take up their offer of the barbecue in addition to the welcome pack. What a bonus that was! Excellent quality and quantity. The villa inside is just as it looks on the pictures. Indeed, the outside is too! It is all kept to the highest standards. Nothing seems too much trouble for the owners, they are very helpful as well as knowledgeable. We can only endorse everything that has already been said about the villa, and the lovely people who own it, Peter and Linda. We had a wonderful time at the Casa Fraqueza, the only downside was that we couldn't stay longer!

Fabulous family friendly villa
We travelled as a family of 8, including our grandchildren aged 6 and 16 months and this villa has something for everyone. For peace of mind the gated pool area was a must for us and stair gates were also provided. This villa was the perfect place for our family to spend some quality time together and we would not hesitate to recommend it for family's, or couples as you have everything you need for the perfect holiday. Peter and Linda are, as others have already said, fantastic hosts and we enjoyed our morning chats round the pool. The cold beers on arrival were very welcome and not having to rush to the shops straight away was also appreciated. (the welcome pack provided had everything we needed for the first day or so) We all had an amazing time and were sad to leave.... Until the next time! :) Karen, Andrew and family.

Beautiful villa for a perfect holiday.
The villa has everything you could possibly want or need. Totally spotless villa and pool. Beautiful views from all balconies and the front terrace. We have had a fantastic time and the children loved it so much it was a struggle to get them to leave for an occasional meal. There is nothing bad I can say or any recommendations I could make. The owners obviously put a lot of time and effort into keeping this villa like a home from home. The cleanest and best accommodation I have ever stayed in. The gated pool means parents can relax with the children. Plenty of games and outdoor pool table etc to provide fun evenings too.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
The owners Peter and Linda,
Are a couple of old grannies that moved to Portugal in 2002 and have both fallen in love with the Silves area and the local people, our three lads and six grandchildren live in the UK.

Why they chose this property

We are very fortunate that one of the best restaurants in the Algarve, the O'Barradas is just a five minute stroll, serving quality food and wine.
Another almost world famous restaurant is Rui Marisceira in Silves, shellfish to die for,essential to book in advance here, especially in high season. Hundreds of other restaurants abound the Algarve with prices to suit all pockets, best buy is always Prato do Dia (plate of the day) which normally has several choices of meat or fish.
The villa set on a hillside has three Portuguese neghbours, all kind and caring people, none of which can overlook or overhear any of your private space.
To sit on the veranda looking down the valley to Silves Gare or by the landscaped garden/pool area with a cup of tea in the morning is astonishingly beautiful.

What makes this property unique

The villa.
Was purpose built which opened in 2006 to exacting standards with meticulous attention to detail. It has been thought thru very carefully with aid of hindsight from our own holidays in years past. Everything is designed for families with children to have a fabulous time with plenty of games all free.
The owners live nearby and will never intrude guests privacy but on hand 24/7 if anything should go wrong or to give advice on local places and events.
Similarly we know the places to avoid for example those restaurants that serve food and does not give value for money, your holiday is important to us.

The heated pools and gardens - are kept scrupulously clean, Linda’s love of plants makes the garden a sight to see, her love of animals is evident in the mini pets corner.
