Casa Perola was built in 2006 to a high spec and is situated in Odelouca just outside the lovely town of Silves. It is built into a hillside overlooking the picturesque valley of Odelouca with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside with its orange groves and the Monchique Mountains. Odelouca is a conservation area and is ideal for bird watchers and walkers. It's an ideal location for peace and quiet and total relaxation enjoying the Portuguese way of life in this lovely valley. The Valley boasts of a local baker who is just a short walk from the villa and also ‘Lydia’s bar where you can enjoy a coffee or alcoholic beverage whilst meeting the local people. There are a further 2 rustic bars about a 15-20 minute walk away. You'll often see jeep safaris going through the valley. Supermarkets, shops and restaurants are only a 10-15 minute drive away.

Guest comments
Just thought I’d drop you a line to say what a fantastic holiday we had at your wonderful villa. Everything was just perfect, especially the pool which we made much use of every day. We travelled around quite a bit too and that made us appreciate all the more the rural position of the villa too built up and busy at the coast although good to visit. We’ve taken loads of photos to remind us of the holiday and hope that we will be able to go to Casa Perola again. The Brewster Family
We had a wonderful time at the villa, don't think we can fault it in any way. Your directions were spot on. The weather was very hot so made good use of the pool & also the air con which we had not had in previous villas we have stayed in. The location suited us perfectly away from the hustle and bustle but only a short drive to all the amenities. We hope to return again in the not to distant future. The Young Family
A big thanks from all of us. The Villa was fantastic & perfectly situated. Darren
