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 and a restaurant for lunches. You'll often see jeep safaris going through the valley. Supermarkets, cinema, shops and restaurants are only a 10-15 minute drive away.

Just to say what a lovely holiday we had in your fantastic villa.It is absolutely gorgeous you must be very proud of it. Couldn't get the grandchildren out of the pool. The Souter Family
We have come back from Odelouca and these 10 days have been great! Your villa is so lovely and everyone enjoyed the holiday! The weather was very sunny and the pool was delicious to refresh us (40 degrees under the sun at midday!) Even the neighbour was friendly and gave us vegetables and fruits! Camacho Family, France.
2008
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. The Brewster Family

About the owner
I live with my husband and two grown up daughters in a small market town in Essex. We live not far from the Roman town of Colchester with its castle and also a big Army Garrison.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We originally bought a piece of land 6 yrs ago and had Casa Perola built to our ownspecificatins in 2005. When we first viewed the land it was so lovely looking over the valley at the wonderful views we just sat there and closed our eyes and enjoyed the quietness of it all and that is what decided us to buy and build. We had to take down the old building but we did renovate the Old outside Kitchen and bread oven, now used as storage.
Because we are on a hillside the pool had to be built into the side of it and so is level with the top floor and has lovely views of the Monchique mountains. Although we are rural in location we liked the fact you can get anywhere in about 20-25 minutes.
We only started to rent out last year [2008] and so far all our guests have enjoyed the location.
Unique benefits of the property
Being only a short drive from the beaches is lovely for a early morning walk. Ideal for bird watchers and walkers.
A really away from it all holiday or if you want a bit of the bright lights there is Portimeao, Lagos, Carveiro, Silves which are only a short drive away and then back to the tranquility of the villa. In fact the best of both worlds.
