Guest comments
August 2011: "Thanks for the prompt repayment of the security deposit. Much appreciated.We had a great time at Casa Ananda. It's a lovely comfortable house and suited us perfectly for our stay. Local people were very friendly and the weather was perfect for us. Not baking hot but hot enough to swim in the sea, drink lots of pavement coffees and have barbecue etc. Joachim was especially friendly and supplied us with tomatoes and pears. In return we made a fuss of Benfico and brought him chews from the town!
Once again, thank you for the use of your home. We had a great time getting to know that little bit of Portugal.
April 2010: "I loved this location, because it is the best of two worlds - local village with really friendly people, as well as a short distance away,(20 mins) from one of the best medieval walled towns ,Obidos. Wonderful place for hand made jewellery and food!

About the owner
I've enjoyed holidays in Portugal ever since I first visited when I was nine years old, and was lucky enough to be taken on an extended tour of the country, visiting many places off the beaten track and leading me to fall in love with the people, the culture, and of course the great weather! I spend most of my holidays on the Silver Coast, but until someone waves the magic wand and lets me retire, most of the time I live and work in Shrewsbury on the Welsh Borders, with my small and very friendly Patterdale terrier Truffle.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
I fell in love with the Silver Coast as soon as I saw the region - simply Gorgeous - and such a well kept secret for so long. I really don't know why everyone raves so much about the Algarve: the Silver Coast has all that in spades, and without the hordes of package tourists as well. It is so easy to get to as well - less than an hour from Lisbon on the Autostrada del Atlantico. I love being so close to Sao Martinho, (which has one of the best beaches in Portugal) right in the middle of a traditional village, surrounded by glorious countryside and with half a dozen World Heritage sites within an hour's drive. If that doesn't grab you, a hard slog of 50 yards or so takes you to the village cafe and patisserie, where you can add the inches with some mind bogglingly calorific cakes. :)
Unique benefits of the property
Casa Ananda is situated in the heart of a lovely traditional Portuguese village, seemingly a million miles away from the packed resorts and impersonality of so many trips to the *Med*, but in reality less than ten minutes away from Sao Martinho, some of the best beaches in Portugal, and all the facilities you would expect or need for a great holiday in the sun. If you don't want to drive, the village has everything you need within a minute from the house - shop, bar, and cafe - and there is a great restaurant within walking distance. Casal Pardo is a lovely village, the neighbours are so friendly, and I'm sure you will really enjoy staying at Casa Ananda. I do!
