About this property
Spacious 3 Bedroom Family Villa With Private Pool
Our villa (Casa das Duas Palmerias) is located in the typically Portuguese village of Almadena, just a few minutes walk to local restaurants, bicycle rentals and other amenities and a short drive to numerous beaches, horse riding, dolphin watching boat trips, golf courses and the larger town of Lagos. The villa has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious lounge, dining area and large kitchen. In the garden there is a private swimming pool, eating area and a brick built barbecue. Like most Portuguese houses, with high ceilings, extensive use of marble and blinds on all windows it is designed to remain cool in even the hottest weather. The villa is equipped with a TV with BBC, !TV, Sky and many other channels. Complimentary wifi is available. The nearest beach is at Burgau, about five minutes away by car. However, Luz, Salema and Lagos (all 10-15 minutes away) offer bigger and better beaches. Our favourite beaches are Salema, Zavial (20 minutes) and Beliche (30 minutes).

About the host
Hosted by Mrs Robin Ketteringham
Hello
We have owned this property for over 20 years and it has been the destination of many family holidays over the years. Our children came to regard Portugal as a second home and had many friends there, particularly in Salema where, as teenagers, they enjoyed the bars and restaurants and we, as parents, never had to worry about them out alone in the evening.
We enjoyed the beaches at Salema and slightly further afield at Zavial and on the west coast. We loved the restaurants by the sea but the barbecue and garden enabled us to eat at home as a family and we enjoyed the shopping at local markets for those meals.
The weather in Portugal is such that we eat almost all our meals outdoors from March to November and now that we are retired we are better able to visit throughout that period.

Why they chose this property
We bought this house after 10 years of owning an apartment in Salema. After all those years we had come to love the Western Algarve for the weather, beaches, food, and friendliness of the people. We felt at home there. It was easy to get to Faro airport early in the morning, pick up a car and be in Almadena for a late lunch! (Now that the motorway serves the Algarve it is only an hour from the airport).
We also love to walk in spring and the autumn (when the weather is still good but a little cooler) and visit the inland areas such as Monchique and Silves.
Almadena is quiet and takes us away from crowds. Even in August we can choose whether to go to a vibrant buzzy place or a quiet destination. Sometimes we go for a long week-end sometimes 4 weeks. We always return refreshed.

What makes this property unique
Almadena is a typical Portuguese village making an ideal spot to base your holiday, it's small with a shop. bars and restaurants for any immediate needs. The garden and pool give you immediate access to enjoyment of the weather. You will need a car to explore the glories of the Algarve coast and the inland areas. Busy Lagos is an attractive destination to shop and eat and is about 15 minutes away by car. It also has lots of attractions suitable for the family, boat trips etc. If you have children, try the water parks such as Slide and Splash, a little further along the coast. There are several attractive golf courses all close by.
As the house sleeps 6 people and has three bathrooms we never feel on top of one another; the spacious living areas give us all plenty of space to chill out
