About this property

Casa das Figueiras is an idyllically situated 3 bedroom villa, which can sleep up to 6, with a magnificent private pool over looking the stunning rural and coastal Algarvian views.

The villa boasts a large open plan living and dining area with high ceilings, exposed wooden beams and French doors opening out onto one of the many terraces overlooking the beautiful mature garden. We have a log fire, perfect for comfy nights in during the colder season, but in summer the air conditioning ensures a pleasing coolness. There's also satellite TV and free wifi. The beautiful en-suite master bedroom with king-size bed has patio doors opening on to the terrace and garden, there are also two twin bedrooms and a separate large bathroom. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook up a wonderful feast which can be enjoyed inside or at any of the three alfresco dining areas over looking the pool and views.

If you fancy cooking outside we do, of course, have a large built in BBQ and several alfresco eating areas and terraces. The private pool is 10 x 5 metres with steps and a handrail and has several sun loungers and parasols around it along with a shaded eating area so it's perfect for enjoying the weather. The pool area is gated.

All the amenities are available inclusive of the price such as wifi, satellite TV, air conditioning, dishwasher, washing machine and parking space. Linens and pool towels are provided free of charge. A cot and high chair are available free of charge should you require them. Well behaved pets are welcome if notified in advance of booking, subject to an additional £25 cleaning fee (please note pets are not allowed in the pool).

Casa das Figueiras is located idyllically on a hillside with coast and country views, along a country lane only 2km from Boliqueime village with its shops, bank, pharmacy, bars and restaurants for eating out. The villa is peaceful and relaxing, away from it all, yet only ten minutes drive to wonderful beaches and Vilamoura with a marina, casino, 4 golf courses and all the pleasures of a top resort. A car is essential.

The villa manager will welcome you at the villa upon your arrival and will help with any questions during your stay so you can rest easily knowing everything will be taken care of! We can arrange for a small welcome grocery pack if you require, payable directly to the manager upon arrival.

There is a minimum stay of 7 nights. The changeover day is flexible and we do not do Sunday arrivals. Check-in is after 4pm and check-out is 10.30am.

Nurses from Australia

Perfect retreat for 5 nurses who worked tirelessly through the pandemic. The house, garden and pool were fantastic to relax in. A short stroll to the village was made even more pleasurable by the Boliquieme festival. Remco ,property manager, was a wealth of information and helpful. Would recommend the house to others travelling to the Algarve.

Lovely villa. Great holiday

We had such a lovely holiday staying in this villa. It was our first family holiday as a family of four (children aged 1 and 5) and without a doubt one that will have long lasting happy memories. The pool was great and our son spent most of the day splashing around in it. The villa is beautiful, in a lovely location which feels peaceful and secluded. The beaches nearby were busy (as expected over August) but gorgeous. Perfect waves for gentle body boarding and lots of restaurants nearby to make a great day out. All communication with Sheila/ Hilary and Remco were answered promptly and lots of helpful useful information available. We're hoping to book again for next year.

Perfect

The location & facilities were perfect for our needs. Remco was very informative about the villa. The 2 granddaughters turned into mermaids, with Mum & Dad , and the grandparents in support. Plenty to see in the area, and 3 good restaurants in the village.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila Hutchings

My husband and I bought a plot in 1981 with a small building (a ruin really) set on a hillside overlooking the Algarvian coast. Gradually we renovated, expanded and improved but kept the character of the original stone building and roof. The location is fantastic! Real Algarve, tranquil, almond orchards, winding lanes, village close by with bank, pharmacy and some good restaurants. Yet Vilamoura and Albufeira are only a 10/15 minute drive with beautiful beaches, golf courses and marinas. We've enjoyed many family holidays here over the years and hope we've created a home from home for your relaxing holiday.

Why they chose this property

Boliqueime seemed the perfect spot, away from the hustle and bustle like another world but with easy access to coast and airport.

What makes this property unique

Glorious rest and relaxation. Sometimes a shepherd grazes his sheep in the orchard in front. The garden is child friendly and the villa has a fenced pool.
