Outstanding, luxury 4 bedroom villa overlooking the 12th Fairway at the 18 Hole Championship Golf Course at Parque da Floresta. Casa Palmeira is an established villa with mature gardens and orange, guava and lemon trees offering shade from the heat of the day, as well as an unusual green tiled, heated swimming pool. Parque da Floresta offers not only golf, but also tennis courts, football academy, spa, swimming pools, restaurants and golf driving range. The resort is located in the Western Algarve, within easy reach of numerous stunning beaches, timeless fishing villages and unspoilt countryside. It sits between Lagos to the East and Sagres to the West. Further to the West is Cape St Vincent, the most south-westerly point of mainland Europe.

Notes on accommodation
Casa Palmeira has recently been upgraded throughout. There is air-conditioning in 3 of the 4 bedrooms and the study/library. The living-room has a wood burning fire for cooler evenings, and has 3 new leather sofas, including a 'UFO' or 'Love-Seat' with lots of cushions, for total relaxation. The 2 double bedrooms have new bedroom suites - a fabulous super-king size cherry wood sleigh bed in the master suite, with matching furniture, and a king size bed in the double room downstairs. The other 2 bedrooms have also been redecorated and equipped with new bedding and rugs. The study has a wide screen TV, with digi-box, and a broadband wireless router, and printer. The emphasis in the whole house is comfort and convenience, with all you would expect from a family home, with perhaps a few extras. The villa is child friendly, but the pool is not fenced, so care needs to be taken at all times with small children.
Accessibility
Casa Palmeira is probably not suitable for those with mobility problems, as there are stairs both inside and outside the property.
Outside
The garden at Casa Palmeira is a delight, full of flowers and mature shrubs and trees, including orange, lemon and guava trees, and with a large lawned area. The lawns are enclosed by hedges, offering privacy and shade, and provide a wonderful place for children to play. There are terraces on which to catch the sun at all times of the day. The pool is private and is heated as required. The charge for pool heating is £100 p/w. Near to the pool is the barbecue area with gas barbecue. The downstairs kitchen opens onto a covered terrace. The terrace is laid out with a dining table and chairs, and with large pots of colourful flowers. This area is ideal for outdoor meals as it provides shade from the heat of the sun, but still provides the fun of al fresco! Upstairs, the west facing terrace also has a large dining table and chairs, which are ideal for evening dining as that terrace catches the last rays of the sun. The garden area is fully equipped with loungers for poolside relaxation.
Coast/Beach
The Western Algarve is famous for its beaches, and Salema beach is only 2 miles from the villa. It is a beautiful, clean, sandy beach washed by the Atlantic Ocean. Further west there are many quiet beaches to explore, some are easily accessible, some involve a scramble down steep paths.
Golf
The Parque da Floresta Golf Course was created in 1994 and is billed as one of Europe's most picturesque. Measuring 5587 metres from the white tees, the par 71 course has varied holes running along valleys, past eucalyptus covered ravines, flanked by olive, palm and pine trees. No two holes are similar. Our guests enjoy a 40% discount of green fees. Buggy hire is also available. Other courses are available at Boavista, Palmares, Penina and Alto Golf.
Travel
Faro airport is the nearest airport to Casa Palmeira and is approximately 1 hour away by road. The route is along the new dual carriageway which has opened up Western Algarve. Lisbon is about 2.5 hours away by car. Car hire is probably essential to enjoy the area to its fullest.
Distances
There is a lot to see and do in the surrounding area. Parque da Floresta is set on the edge of the Costa Vicentin Nature Reserve, and there are lovely walks along established tracks in the Reserve. The town of Lagos, with its marina, is about 20 minutes away by car. Inland there are many beautiful old towns, castles and villages to visit, such as Silves.
Further details
There are plenty of supermarkets within easy reach of the villa. The nearest (Intermarche) is only 2 minutes drive from the entrance to Parque da Floresta, and is well stocked with everything one might need for self catering. Even bigger supermarkets can be found in Lagos. The Restaurants in Parque da Floresta provide lots of variety and the Italian Restaurant even has a takeaway facility. We have also created a book in the villa for guests to leave details of restaurants they have enjoyed (or not!). Fortunately, all the restaurants tried seem to have been good, particularly those at Salema beach, and we now have a sizeable list of places that are tried and tested. For the children, there is the Football Academy and the tennis courts with resident coach who does group lessons or individual lessons. In the summer there is a weekly tennis competition for different age groups of children, which is always hotly contested. There are children's clubs, which provide a safe environment for children to have fun, learn and make new friends. These are run by PDF staff. Further afield are Zoomarine and Aqualand water parks. In the study, we have now installed a broadband wireless internet connection, with printer. We have not provided a PC, so those wanting to use this connection should bring their own laptop. The printer and connection are provided at no extra cost, but we ask guests to use the printer sparingly.
