Attractively Converted Farmhouse with Private Pool
Garden Apartment
Sleeps 8 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
Casa O Jardim is an attractively converted farmhouse, set in nearly 1 acres of privately owned orange groves. It is ideally situated for those who like to be away from the tourist developments but still within easy reach of all amenities. It is not overlooked and has lovely views of the surrounding hills. The gardens also have lemon and tangerine trees amongst the plentiful exotic and colourful plants. The apartment is part of a very large property. The other half of the property is let separately (see Property Reference P54). For very large parties (up to 24) the 2 properties may be booked as a whole.

There are pleasant walks through the beachside pine trees, golf, horse riding, water sports and deep-sea fishing from Vilamoura marina. Apolonia supermarket is 100 yards away at the end of our quiet rural lane. Almancil has many excellent restaurants, some within walking distance. Our local bar "Poachers" is only 2 minutes away, serves good food and the landlord is English.
Nearby, Loulé town is famed for copper beating and leatherwork and the ancient castle, museums and the vegetable market are all worth a visit. The local open-air market day is Saturday.
