About this property

Beautiful villa with private pool in a peaceful location

‘Casa de Sonhos’ is a bright, luxury villa located at the rear of an exclusive complex, minutes from the centre of Albufeira & within half-hours drive of Faro airport, the picturesque Monchique Mountains and some of the most beautiful beaches on the Algarve.

The villa has the benefit of its own private pool, which is located to the south side of the villa & can be heated if required. The landscape garden also has a poolside shower, a tiled patio / BBQ area for al-fresco dining & an extensive roof terrace that’s not overlooked.

The lounge is well furnished with WiFi, TV in the lounge with English channels, Amazon Fire Stick (& 1 TV in the Master Bedroom) & comfortable leather seating. The patio doors give access to the pool and barbecue area. Although the Algarve weather is rarely cold, the lounge is equipped with a wood burning fire.

A new fully fitted kitchen has been installed for 2018 & has ample storage space & is well equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge / freezer, microwave, oven / hob, ironing board / iron & extractor hood and is located next to the dining room.

All bedrooms have fitted waldrobes and ample drawer space. The 4th Bedroom is located upstairs and is 14 feet in diameter giving a very pretty unusual room overlooking the peaceful area.

New for 2019 - The Master Bedroom En-Suite has been fully renovated into a Shower Room with new modern tiling. New for 2020 - Both the shower room & family bathroom have been updated with a new Bath, Shower & Vanity Units & modern tiling.

If required the pool can be heated at an extra charge please contact us for Villa rental prices & Pool costing,

Perfect holiday

The holiday was wonderful from the moment we booked. Chris was on hand to help us with everything from high chairs and cots to heating the pool, not to mention the immaculate, spacious and wonderful premises. Have been going to the resort for many years but will be returning to Chris’ property if chance arises. Thanks Chris and family!

Fantastic

this is not the first time and wont be the last. Portugal is a lovely country and very welcoming. This villa is stunning, it has everything you could want for a family holiday. you don't have to step out of the villa if you don't want too, with the stunning pool, bbq comfy front room with sky and an amazing atmosphere it just the place to relax and enjoy. if you like going out you have got old and new town to go to. new town boasts with a large shopping center and MacDonalds and KFC. or old town boosts loads of little shops for clothing and gifts to take home, it has lots of restaurants too. I would suggest going to Central Planet for daytime meals or for evening entertainment they have got a live band there most nights and Shalom 11 for a lovely meal of an evening ( all you can eat ribs meal that are too die for). You have also got the amazing owners that will do there upmost to help you with your flights and taxis too the airport. nothing is too much, they really make your stay a special one. I would highly recommend this villa too anyone that wants to stay in Albufeira Portugal.

Fantastic Villa, Great owners

This was our second stay at the Villa the first being 10 years ago. We loved it then and it was every bit as good as we remembered this time. The Villa has everything you need for a great holiday, and we all loved the pool. We spent a lot of time relaxing on this holiday, and this is the perfect property for this, with a great bbq area as well. The grounds are spacious and maintained to a very high standard. The owners cannot do enough for you, right from your first contact to the end of your stay. This part of Albufeira is perfect for a family holiday, with lots of lovely restaurants, and plenty of bars and clubs, as well as beautiful beaches. We would highly recommend this property.

Luxury,Peace and Tranquility

This Villa has all the components needed for a perfect holiday, an ideal location, space in abundance both inside and out, privacy. quiet yet close enough to all amenities and almost every facility you could think of. This is our third visit to Casa de Sonhas and already looking to book again. Albufeira is located mid way along the Algarve close enough to the airport for transport to and from but far enough away for aircraft noise not to be a problem and both sides of the Algarve are accessible via the N125 and A22 for sight seeing as Portugal is an amazing country and is not just about the beaches and bars. The owners of this Villa really care about their guests. They provide information about the Villa, the equipment. the white goods, the tv, wifi etc, in addition there is a book they have created about local restaurants, shopping, transport etc.Whilst on holiday we had quite an obscure question so we emailed them and they came back straight away with several suggestions and a follow up email to see if we were ok. The kitchen has every utensil and gadget needed and more, you have a huge BBQ adjacent to your own private pool where you can sit and drink the most amazing Portuguese wine (and very cheap) in wonderful surroundings. This is the Villa I can only dream of owning.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Hanlon

Host profile image
We fell in love with the Algarve in the early 80's, a dream that became reality when we visited this beautiful complex in 2002-out of curiosity we looked around & there it was our 'Casa de Sonhos' (House of Dreams) the villa was just being finished, the builder looked just like the gorgeous José Mourinho (thinking about him even now makes my legs wobble).
With excitement, nerves & apprehension took the plunge & now had 23 fantastic years & quite simply can't get enough of this wonderful country, with it's quaint villages, beautiful beaches, stunning views, laid back life style, tasty local cuisine, complemented by a bottle of Sir Cliff's Vida Nova & the most adorable people that we've had the pleasure in knowing. The Algarve also is an ideal settings for those romantic wedding.

Why they chose this property

We love the position of the villa its an ideal location for partying on the strip or the peace and quite of the complex with easy access for the North, South and West of the Algarve and only 30 minutes from Faro 10 minutes to Algarve shopping what more could you want for a fun filled and relaxing time
