About this property
Quinta da Saudade, Casa Pura Vida
Casa Pura Vida has superb panoramic views over the blue ocean, the gold sandy dunes and Salgados nature reserve. 2 beautiful swimming pools. Location is very centrally in the Algarve. The villa is situated peacefully at the top of the botanic hill of Quinta da Saudade. Far from the road and very quiet. The villa has a large (60m2) and private roof top terrace with BBQ, sun loungers, relax chairs and 2 dining tables. The terrace is partially shaded and has full privacy. The villa also has a side terrace and a balcony. Many guests return over and over again. The Quinta da Saudade is an authentic and charming former farm estate with some 25 holiday villas on a hill. The Quinta is reviewed by many guests as an authentic delight and quite unique. It has beautifully kept gardens full of palm, almond, olive and orange trees. An oasis of relaxation with 2 splendid pools, a kids pool and play ground, tennis court, mini golf, table-tennis, petanque, horse riding and an excellent restaurant with summer pool bar. The popular Salgados golf course is close. The beach Praia grande de Pera is also on walking distance (20 min). It is a magnificent long gold sandy stretch from Gale to Armacao de Pera. The large beach has quiet areas even in mid summer. There are also numerous small beaches throughout the area. The riding stables at the Quinta has fabulous horses that can be taken out for gallops across the dunes or slow trips through the country side. The Quinta is a 12 min. drive from the old town of Albufeira. 45 min. drive from Faro airport. While enjoying relaxation at the Quinta you are very centrally situated in the Algarve near the most beautiful beaches and cosy towns and villages. Also the rough west coast and eastern Algarve are within a one hour drive. A great combination for a fantastic holiday.
Casa Pura Vida has 2 well sized bed rooms with high quality beds and 2 modern bath rooms. Master bedroom with king size bed. Second bedroom with 2 spring box single beds, that can be put together to a king size if desired. A spacious living room with balcony and well equipped kitchen.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by John Coumans
We are Dutch owners. We fell in love with the Quinta da Saudade 15 years ago and had many very relaxing as well as active holidays. We have travelled a lot over the world and find the Algarve one of the wold's most amazing places. So happy that we could buy a villa at the Quinta, and especially this one high upon the hill and very quiet. We named it Casa Pura Vida, because Pura Vida (we learned it in Costa Rica) stands for enjoying the pure life. A feeling that we have at the Quinta.
Why they chose this property
We own 2 houses next to each other at Quinta da Saudade: Casa Pura Vida and Casa Bela Vista. We love to come out to the Algarve with friends and families so having the 2 houses next to each other gives us lovely opportunities. When we are not here, we rent out the villas for guests, who love it and are very often returning.
What makes this property unique
Both Casa Pura Vida and Casa Bela Vista are high upon the hill with a lot of privacy. The best view and most quiet on the Quinta and a both have a stunning roof terrace. The location is amazing. Stunning views over the ocean and in a lovely setting with beautiful gardens and nice pools. A place to create beautiful memories.
