Perfect for a holiday with family or friends
In the picturesque neighbourhood of Cercado do Outeiro, 4 km north of São Brás de Alportel, we find this charming 3 bedroom villa ‘Casa do sonhos’ with great social spaces, both interior and exterior. Perfect for a holiday with family or friends. There is a large garden with a removable fenced pool and several lounge and play areas, even a playstation 2. And you can pick your own fruit from the garden. And you are only a 15 minutes walk from ‘Fonte Férrea’ a natural park with hiking trails, a coffee / tapas bar with terrace and picnic areas. In Casa do sonhos you will not get bored!
The stone barbecue was recently replaced with a new electric barbecue, due to the danger of fire in the summer months.
On the ground level, a bright spacious open plan greets you, compromising the living area with fireplace, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen area has everything you need to create a nice meal and give access to the spacious terrace where you can enjoy the relaxing views and have a drink or meal. From the kitchen a small hallway takes you into the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. This room has a south facing terrace with beautiful views.
From the small hallway a set of stairs will take you to the level below where you find the other two bedrooms of which one is en-suite and another bathroom.
There is a cafe 5 minutes walking away and São Brás de Alportel is only 5min drive away where you find several supermarkets and a lot of restaurants. This is a perfect getaway if you are looking for tranquillity and privacy but still in the neighbourhood of everything you need and central to explore the Algarve.
Casa dos Sonhos is ideal for families or groups of friends who are looking to have a relaxing holiday and explore the local area and nearby beaches. Due to its location, this accommodation does not accept (youth) groups who wish to party, or for bachelor(ette) parties. Pets are not permitted.
From Faro airport it is only a 25 minute drive to Casa do sonhos. Loulé is a 15 minute drive away and is popular with its monumental market and cosy streets. The various beaches of the beautiful Ria Formosa and the charming coastal towns of Tavira, Olhão, Fuseta and Faro are within half an hour. From here you can take a boat to one of the islands off the coast. Because of its central location the more chic Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago are also within a half hour drive. North you drive from the house through a beautiful hilly landscape within an hour to the renowned wineries of the Alentejo. 20 minutes’ drive away is the largest shopping mall in the Algarve: MAR Shopping.

Excelent holiday house
Great house, the host is very nice and it shows they care about their guests. The house is fully equipped for everything and allows incredible privacy with a large area both inside and outside
The only negative thing is the local church that plays music for at least a minute from loudspeakers (at a very high level) every day from 7AM up to 10PM every 30 minutes before dinging for the time.

House of dreams, with a twist
Beautifull location, big property, large house. Needs some love and attention and it will become a paradise.
You have to love dogs, because they make a LOT of noise. The dogs belong to the neighbours.
