Fab holiday in the Algarve
We enjoyed a wonderful 10 days at Casa Clara. Communication with Kim before our arrival was very good and we appreciated the restaurant recommendations etc. The house itself was perfect for us. Comfortable beds, good showers, lots of space to be together or to find some space to read in the sun or shade! We didn’t really explore Budens but the area around it has so much to offer all within east reach by car. Thank you 😊

Fab! Thank you for this excellent 5 star review. We aim to communicate regularly before, during and after guests' holidays to ensure holidays can be perfect and are so grateful you appreciated this! The master bedroom has a European King size bed (Bigger than a UK king size bed) to provide a little bit of luxury on holidays. The 3 balconies with parasols are designed to provide a mix of different relaxation areas including a unique roof terrace for private, all day, south facing sun and roof top dining. We are so pleased with you review and hope you decide to return again like so many of our guests. Thank you again!

We loved Casa Clara and Portugal ! This place was fantastic, clean, comfortable and beautiful!
All four of us retirees loved our first stay in Portugal at Casa Clara. The woman who manages it was so friendly (as was everyone in this complex) and language was not an issue. We had everything we needed for a memorable vacation! The internet was great connection. We bought a SIM card at the airport to use our Canadian phones for only 20 euros. We rented a car right at the Faro airport and found that we really needed a car at Casa Clara as the Slalema Beach was a hilly drive. Our leg strength was evident each day as the levels of hills to walk anywhere would be a challenge for anyone with physical challenges. The weather is beautiful there, the pool was a great place to read each day-very peaceful. The every room air conditioning units were greatly appreciated as was the tastefully decorated home. It was such a beautiful place when we arrived. The directions and timely interactions with the owner fir any questions we had were greatly appreciated. They are all friendly, approachable and awesome to deal with. The hot water tank just happened to break when we were there and it was replaced immediately by the excellent property manager. This truly astonished us as the repair happened so quickly (faster than we would ever have had anything repaired in our own home) and the owner even communicated with us for an alternative to get a hot shower but it was repaired so quickly we did not miss anything! We also appreciated all of the manuals to instruct us on the wash machine, and every utensil we needed. Loved the assortment of novels to read, games to play and pamphlets highlighting activities and places yo go. Parking the car st Casa Clara was never an issue . The home is situated on five levels of stairs so guests need yo be physically able to climb stairs regularly. The bedrooms are two levels down from when we entered and the kitchen one level up. The outdoor rooftop area was a joy to dry our clothes and towels and relax with the best view over the hills. We could walk yo the grocery store which also has the coffee shop and bakery (delicious) . We travelled every day and enjoyed many beaches and towns. Sagres, Silves, the shops in Lagos, the fresh seafood, Salema beach, the coastal beaches on the west as well as Marinha beach rated one of the top in the world! Fresh orange juice every day, pomegranate trees, lemon trees, olive trees—all amazing. Cannot wait to return . Make sure you have a car when you go here so you won’t miss all the beauty !

Perfect holiday home
We stayed 14 wonderful days at Casa Clara, we really enjoyed the rooftop terrace, the well equipped kitchen, the air conditioning and the fact that everything was working and cleaned perfectly before our arrival. The resort is well kept and it was perfect to have the gym, tennis and golf course at reduced cost. The gym is very basic, but works. We enjoyed the nice restaurants at Salema much more than the resort restaurant. This part of Algarve is less touristy but still with a lot of activities available.

Unvergessliche 14 Tage an der Algarve
Ein wunderbares und sehr komfortables Haus in einer traumhaften Landschaft. Sehr gut ausgestattet. Die große Dachterrasse lud jeden Morgen mit einem traumhaften Ausblick zu einem hervorragendem Start in den Tag ein. Der Standort eignet sich bestens die Algarve zu erkunden. Vor allem der Teil westlich von Lagos bietet wunderbare Strände und unberührte Natur. Wir würde jederzeit gerne hierhin zurückkommen. Hoffentlich schon sehr bald.

Thank you for your 5 star review. As follows in English for readers A wonderful and very comfortable house in a beautiful landscape. Very well equipped. The large roof terrace invited every morning with a fantastic view to an excellent start to the day. The location is ideal for exploring the Algarve. Especially the part west of Lagos offers wonderful beaches and untouched nature. We would love to come back here anytime. Hopefully very soon. Date of arrival - 5 July 2022

A repetir
A casa é ainda mais agradável do que as Fotos documentam. Piscina muito simpática, ideal para todas as idades. As crianças adoraram. A zona é linda com praias magníficas e o aldeamento muito acolhedor. Apenas a internet necessita de instalação de um repetidor de sinal para ser possível a utilização em todos os andares. Recomendo vivamente .

A great place in a beautiful part of Europe. Everything was as described. The heated pool in late October was a nice and welcome surprise. Our kids and the kids of friends next door could move freely in the gated back area. Alltogether an easy five star recommendation.
