Lovely property in a secluded location
A clean and well appointed property with fabulous pool and far reaching views over the countryside to the sea beyond. Our stay at Casa Alcarias was during the last two weeks of September. Car is essential.
There were 5 of us and when not enjoying the pool we spent a lot of the time on the terrace overlooking the pool. There is a good sized outdoor barbecue, which we used on several occasions, perfect for al fresco dining in the evening.
When the weather is hot, as it was during our stay, we had to seek out the shade most days.
The eastern Algarve is less commercialised than its western counterpart, which is part of its charm, but if you want all the tourist attractions that the western Algarve offers, you could be dissappointed. Having said that its less than an hours drive to Albufeira.
Tavira is about a 20 minute drive from the villa and is a lovely town not overrun by tourists.
The villa is perfect for a family holiday and if you have kids, the pool is big enough to keep them amused. There was a file containing plenty of useful information regarding the villa and the surrounding area. Casa Alcarias can be thoroughly recommended.
Beautiful views from a fantastic villa
We have just returned from Villa Alcarias. The villa exceeded our expectations in every aspect. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen as we enjoy trying out local recipes....a couple of which Maria, the house keeper, recommended. We tried the 'Cataplana' fish dish which we enjoyed on the terrace looking out to the view of the ocean and the setting sun...add a bottle of wine to that and we were in heaven!
The very generously-sized pool appealed to our 12 year old daughter.....it was a joy to swim in.
The size of the villa meant that there were always places to sit, read, have lunch..etc
Sarah was always quick to reply with any questions we had and directions to property were very comprehensive and easy to follow.
We loved visiting Tavira and the markets in Olhao. We would definitely recommend this property.
Fantastic house in a beautiful location, close to beautiful family friendly beaches and Tavira
The house exceeded expectations, spacious rooms, beautifully furnished and thoughtfully equipped. Very comfortable for 4 adults and 4 children. The pool is a good size and is well maintained as is the garden. There is a beautiful view over the hills to the sea. The location is good, a short drive to the stunning beaches around Tavira and charming old town. We had a fantastic holiday and we're very sad to leave! Hope to come back next year!
Wonderful!
One of our best holidays ever.
The villa was beautiful, stunning location, massive pool and lovely gardens.
We had 2 small children, 2 teenagers and 4 adults, so we needed a villa that did everything. Casa Alcarias more than delivered. Infact it was hard to get everyone geared up to leave to explore the beaches!
The house was beautifully clean and we had the lovely house keeper Maria Jose to baby sit for us one night, which was fantastic - she even brought a home made cake around for the kids!
The location was perfect. Completely private but 2 minutes to the little town of Santa Catarina, where you could get everything, especially the custard tarts at 'Madeira's Pao'!!
We ventured to Tavira a few times, which is only 15 minutes and is a beautiful little town with some great restaurants on the front - exactly as Sarah had said on the webpage. We also loved Fuzeta. The children loved the ferry ride to the islands and I have to say that the sundowners beach bar at the end of a day spent on the beach was perfect.
Thank you, thank you - we will be back September 2017!
Great relaxing stay
It is a beautiful villa, providing a wonderful place for a great family vacation. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and the grounds are so well maintained. The owners are very helpful and accessible if needed. We really appreciated the food and drinks they had for us when we arrived - very thoughtful! Would definitely recommend the villa.
Beautiful
The best holiday we have been on in years. The Villa was absolutely beautiful, with amazing gardens, sea views; and most importantly the pool was incredible (practically the size you would expect from a hotel). Again, had an unbelievable time, in an unbelievable Villa and we will definitely be re-visiting this slice of paradise .
