Description

This attractive villa is the family home of the owner and his family and was furnished and equipped as a home and not as a holiday villa. It is situated in the grounds of the world-famous Penina golf resort. The well-known Hotel Penina and the Penina Golf Club with three golf courses (Championship, Resort and Academy), tennis courts and hotel amenities are a leisurely 15-minute walk away. The market town of Portimão, with good shopping and fresh fish restaurants (especially good for sardines), is only a 10-minute drive away and it is the same to the resort and long sandy beach of Alvor. Praia da Rocha is an inexpensive taxi ride away for some nightlife and then there are several restaurants within a few minutes’ drive.

The villa itself is at the edge of a group of villas, the poolside and the main terraces are surrounded by gardens and trees so are not overlooked. The large plot is 2,800m² and is completely fenced and gated, with an inner gated area around the pool and pool terraces as well as the outer area that encircles the house. Both areas are well-tended with mature shrubs and trees. The villa includes a security alarm and air conditioning in all bedrooms and living-room. The villa has been furnished with families and comfort in mind, including some good fun extras like a table tennis table, football table game and basketball net. There is even a jacuzzi available at a small extra cost.

The lovely large blue-tiled swimming pool is surrounded by terraces, a lawn and a garden. The pool has a salt purifying unit so it is suitable for those allergic to chlorine and is heated by a heat exchange unit (at extra cost in certain seasons) and has an electric cover on a roller to help retain the warmth, built-in steps and a support handrail. There is a safety fence available if ordered in advance at extra cost.

There is an internet /Wi-Fi connection and several items for babies like house cots and even some toys.

ACCOMMODATION FOR 8 + an extra pull out bed in one bedroom at extra cost (with Tourist licence «3058/AL»)

The Ground Floor
The front door opens into a white-tiled hallway. On the left, a corridor leads to the 3 ground-floor bedrooms, ahead are stairs up to the first floor and on the right panelled glass doors open into the large sitting /dining room.

The sitting room has 2 big comfy sofas and 2 armchairs, a closed log fireplace and wide sliding glass doors to the main terrace. There is a large screened plasma TV connected to the Satellite Cable system, with DVD; a music centre and radio as well as an iPod docking station. The dining end has a table and chairs for 6-8 and a door opens into the large modern, well-equipped kitchen.
The kitchen has a large range style cooker, with 5 gas rings, 1 electric hot plate and 2 gas ovens as well as a large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and even a Magi-mix and a soup beater as well as all the usual kitchen pots and pans etc. The kitchen has a bar/table top and 2 chairs suitable for kids’ meals (or just watching the cook!) and a door to the barbecue terrace and another to the laundry room. The latter has a sink, washing machine and dryer and leads through to a shower room (with shower, loo and basin) as well as an outer drying terrace where there are cupboards storing the gas bottles and water heater.

Back in the hall, the white tiled bedroom corridor leads to 3 cool, light bedrooms. On the left, there is a shower room (with shower cubicle, basin, loo, heater and towel rail) and next door a newly modified bedroom. This has twin beds, but they can be pushed together as a double if required. There is a pull-out bed beneath for an extra person. Next is a double bedroom with double bed and shower room en suite (with shower cubicle, basin, loo, and heater) and to the right a door to a short corridor and a further larger double bedroom with large double bed and large full bathroom en suite (with bathtub, shower cubicle with massage column, basin, loo, heater and towel rail). All three bedrooms have wide mirror-fronted fitted cupboards and doors to terraces.

The First Floor
The stairs in the hall lead up to the first-floor landing. To the right is the spacious master suite, with a double bed and wide sliding doors to the upper terrace which overlooks the pool and gardens. The large bathroom en suite has a bathtub, separate shower cubicle, double basins, loo, heater and towel rail. There is a door from this bedroom to a small terrace and steps down to the pool.
To the left of the landing is a door to a study/office. This is a light sunny room with windows on 3 sides so you can view the pool to one side and surrounding villas and gardens on the other. The room is furnished with a large desk and bookcase; there are electric plugs (Portuguese - so bring a converter) and a printer. The villa has an internet and a Wi-Fi connection.

Outside
The terrace from the sitting room extends along most of the poolside of the house: it is partly covered and has a canvas awning to wind out to increase the shade if necessary. The terrace is furnished with a table and 8 chairs for outside meals and other relaxing terrace furniture. There is space here to open up the table tennis table for play in the shade.
To the kitchen side, there is a covered barbecue area with a built-in charcoal barbecue and sink. Nearby is an outside shower supplied with both hot and cold water.
The lovely large blue-tiled swimming pool is rectangular 15x5m (1.30 to 1.40 deep) so is not suitable for diving. It has gentle built-in steps at the shallow end with a support handrail helpful for the elderly. There is a heat exchange unit to heat the pool included in certain seasons –see below. The electric pool cover helps to retain the warmth at night. There are both pool lights and garden lights. The pool may have a safety fence fitted if ordered in advance.

Your own little bit of paradise.

By Jason on 12-Sep-2024

Clean, comfortable and with everything we needed. So much space to relax both inside and out and the pool was large, clean and a very nice temperature. The grounds are also very private with nobody overlooking them and very well maintained.

Beautiful Villa, Perfect for a family with young children.

By Jodie Jordan on 20-Jul-2024

We have just returned home from a week at Casa da Quinta. Nothing negative to say whatsoever. The villa had everything we needed for a week plus more. Our youngest was 22months old and eldest child was 18 Years old. The kids had plenty to entertain themselves throughout the day from table tennis, basketball, football nets and even a children’s outdoor house for the little ones. We paid extra for the pool guard and it was worth every penny to give us peace of mind to prevent the babies falling in. The kitchen had everything you could imagine or need. The Villa is very spacious and bedrooms were large. Air con in every room was a bonus as it was 38• plus when we were staying. There is an amazing lemon tree in the garden and we made plenty gin cocktails with fresh lemons ☺️ Nicola left plenty of information for us with everything we needed to know. We used Ubers through the week to get in and out of Alvor as walking is not an option. The cleaner Jouls was also very friendly and the Gardner was very respectful when on the premises. Honestly can’t fault anything.

Perfect family holiday

By Jo Hudson on 19-May-2024

Our family of 7 stayed at Casa da Quinta for 8 nights at the end of May. The Villa was perfect and really spacious. The garden is stunning and a real treat to wake up to & spend time in. There’s a lemon tree we all loved & we made lots of fresh lemonade which was an unexpected treat. The pool was a great size of us all and the Roman steps were perfect for our toddler. The hot tub was impressive and also a good size. Lots of nice things outside like a ping pong table, table top football, basketball hoop & seating areas which the family all loved. The Villa was spotless. Nice bedding & towels all perfectly clean. Really lovely bedrooms. Kitchen was great, so well equipped - great for cooking our large family meals. The outdoor kitchen area for bbqs is also a lovely space in the garden, located near the pool & the main kitchen so you’re not left cooking on your own but located near everyone else too. The villa is all really secure & gated. Ubers & bolt taxis all easy to book and cheap to travel by taxi to Portimão & Lagos (both lovely). Gorgeous beaches & restaurants 15 mins drive away. A ferry taxi (10 min trip) from Portimão to Ferragudo was a lovely day out - gorgeous seafood restaurants. Locals are friendly & welcoming. Rosemary & Nicola who arranged our booking provided lots & lots of helpful info & booked our airport transfers. We all had such a lovely holiday. Anyone who stays at the villa is very lucky indeed. We’d defo stay again.

15m heated secluded pool was the star of the holiday

By Irene Hare on 07-May-2024

I holidayed with my family including my 4 year old grandchild, and the pool, heating and size, was a game changer , especially for her. She came on so fast with her swimming ability, and it was warm enough for her 3 month old brother to have dips as well, as well. He did not flinch. I paid for pre holiday pool heating and we were lucky with the weather in mid May, often around 26 degrees C. The gardens and the surroundings of mature trees on the edge of the golf course, along with the privacy, made it sublime. Rosemary and her daughter Nicola were excellent to deal with and I felt confident booking with them. I would recommend this villa and hope to return

The perfect villa

By Kane Critchley on 08-Jul-2023

The villa was absolutely incredible such a lovely home. It has everything you can possibly need. Brilliant for groups of friends, family’s and also golfing friends as it’s located on the lovely Penina golf resort. There is so much there for all ages to be occupied. The villa was clean and tidy, thanks to the lovely cleaning lady we met and also the outside was immaculate thanks to the maintenance/gardening team. I would 100% Recommend, and will definitely be staying here again if I come back to portugal with a group. Thanks for the opportunity to stay here.
