Holiday villa Vale de parra, Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal.

Casa Bela Vista is situated on the beautiful Quinta da Saudade and
benefits from having both a quiet location with wonderful views
whilst being only minutes from all the amenities.

Completely renovated in 1999, the Villa has new tiled floors
throughout and a restful pastel decor.

The accommodation comprises a spacious living room, two twin
bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully fitted kitchen, a large secluded
balcony and a massive roof terrace. There is a wood-burning fire
for those Autumn and Winter evenings, when it can get a little
chilly, and a television with satellite receiver for the occasional
evening in or to keep the children occupied.

The double doors open onto the private balcony and provide a
beautiful view across the valley. Walk through the doors from the
living room and you will find yourselves on a beautiful secluded
balcony with a view over the trees and across the valley to the
coast beyond. Not surprisingly, this is everyone's favourite spot
for both breakfast as well as an early evening drink as the sun
begins to sink below the hills. Leading down from the balcony are
some steps to a path through the gardens which leads to the upper
pool. The villa has a fantastic roof terrace. With a built-in
barbeque and tiled dining table as well as sun loungers and a table
and chairs, this is the place for lunch when you don't want to
interrupt your sun bathing. The view is magnificent, and was the
reason the Villa was given its name. As the roof terrace is walled
on three sides it is totally private and is therefore a haven of
peace and tranquillity. There is a covered area to give some shade
from the mid-day sun.

The Quinta da Saudade lies in a valley approximately five miles
West of Albufeira and just a forty-minute drive from the airport at
Faro. It is situated in open countryside surrounded by farmland
and, towards the sea, a nature reserve. Naturally the views are
fantastic!

Apart from Albufeira the closest towns are Armacao de Pera to the
West, and Guia to the North, both a mere three miles away. The land
on which The Quinta stands was originally a fruit farm ('Quinta' is
Portuguese for 'farm') and was developed some thirty years ago when
the twenty-four single-storey, semi-detached villas were built to
provide holiday homes for a group of mainly English owners. Now,
most of the twenty-seven acres are landscaped gardens and the
villas are still privately owned by individual families and managed
by staff from an office within the Quinta.

The facilities on The Quinta include two superb swimming pools,
alongside one of which is a children's play park with a paddling
pool, swings and a slide, and for the older children (and adults)
there is a crazy golf course, a petanque pitch and table tennis as
well as an open sports field.

There is also a pristine all-weather tennis court which is
available for guest's use and beside the lower pool there is a pool
bar which as well as being open for snacks and drinks during the
summer, also hosts the Saturday Night Barbecue - always a popular
event and an ideal opportunity to meet other holidaymakers. The old
Farmhouse is now an excellent restaurant and bar.

The Algarve is famous for its beaches and just over a mile from The
Quinta are two of the most fabulous stretches of sand in the area.
Reached by foot or, more usually, by a ten-minute car ride, the
beaches are almost never crowded and completely devoid of hotels or
complexes.
