Sao Bras: Situated in the perfect spot to enjoy all that the Algarve is famous for, excellent beaches, golf and water sport. The town itself has a long history and there is a museum where on Sundays there is often a jazz night. Sao Bras in the past was a cork centre and there are walks that take you through the rich countryside along the cork route and also a cork museum. This is where the beautiful cork bags are made as well as other items such as umbrellas and gloves and the shop is in the centre of Sao Bras. The town has lots of restaurants from places to get pizzas to international menus. A favourite with locals and visitors is Luis de Frango which is always busy as they serve freshly grilled chicken in a lovely atmosphere and it really is good value. For a change there is a beautifully maintained outdoor public pool in Sao Bras, set in the verbena gardens and with an attached cafe.

Theme parks: There is an excellent multi-lingual tourist information office in the centre of Sao Bras with details and brochures of all on offer in the Algarve including all the theme parks and activities available.

About Mandy

I am a midwife in the UK working part time, and spend as much time in my lovely house in Portugal as possible

Mandy purchased this house in 2007
Why Mandy chose Sao Bras de Alportel region

I holidayed in the area and looked on the off chance for a peaceful property that could be developed without losing its Portuguese charm.

What makes this house unique

This house just grabbed me because of its fantastic views and peaceful aspect.The addition of the swimming pool added to its charm - perfect to swim in while enjoying the beautiful countryside.

I love sitting under the orange tree by the front door - it still makes me smile that I own an orange (and lemon and olive) tree!

This is my home and I welcome you warmly to share in its delights.

Casal Palma is nestled on a sunny hillside with pretty views over the small hamlet of Juncais with typical white washed villas dotting the valley below. It offers the best of both worlds, the peace of the countryside yet the famous beaches of the Algarve are just twenty minutes by car.

This part of the Algarve has something for everyone, from the chic marina of Vilamoura to pretty island beaches that are reached crossing the blue lagoons of the Ria Formosa, a bird watchers delight.

For those who love to shop and enjoy good food there is Loule which has a daily market of freshly caught fish and locally grown fruits and vegetables.

Twenty kilometers south east is Tavira, often described as the 'jewel' of the Algarve, which has managed to retain its character and charm. Small brightly coloured fishing boats go out daily, and the unspoilt Island of Tavira is a beach lovers delight.

Activities include: Waterparks, Zoomarine, fishing, golf, walking, cycling, watersports, eating out.

Enjoyed a wonderful family holiday here August 2010. The property is set in a rural setting with fantastic views. The property is peaceful, spacious, clean, and a real home from home. The kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfortable and there is ample space outside.
The children had a great choice of DVD's, books and games as do the adults. The pool is fantastic and spotlessly clean.
We enjoyed lazy days by the pool and the odd night out visiting nearby Vilamoura.
Great correspondence with the owner who was very helpful - thank you for letting us stay in your home.
All in all a perfect family holiday and I would highly recommend this villa.

Owner's Response: Thanks very much for a great review!
I am so glad that the holiday met all your expectations.
We aim to provide a beautiful home and cleanliness is so important to us - both in our home and the pool.
Nothing beats a great location, sparkling pool, and a home from home with all you require.
So glad you enjoyed the holiday and thanks for the excellent review - glad we are getting it right for our guests.

Relaxing holiday in a bautiful place

5 of 5
Submitted: August 30, 2010 Stayed: July 2010
We wanted to have an easy, relaxing holiday in a peaceful place not far away from restaurants, markets etc.
This well-maintained, clean house with beautiful countryside views was exactly the place we were longing for.
We swam in the pool and read books under the lemontree.
It was easy to make dinners "at home" as well as visit the local restaurants.
The owner did everything well and were very flexible.
This summer I was there with my husband but I hope we`ll have an opportunity to return there with our three children.
