The Villa - Casa Al-Baraka

Casa Al-Baraka is a 3 bedroom newly built villa with a pool and has all the amenities required for a comfortable stay, it is situation up in the hills 10 minutes drive north of Tavira. The villa has stunning views across the hills and valleys of the area and is a wonderful quiet retreat for relaxation. In the temperate months of the year the surrounding hills make it ideal for walking. A restaurant is only 10 minutes walk north, and a cash and carry that stocks most things and has an oven for baking fresh local bread is 5 minutes from the house. Although the villa is in the quiet location of Vale do Junco, the beautiful town of Tavira is only a 10 minutes drive away.

This spacious villa has a large open plan lounge that is bright and airy, a dining area that seats 8 people and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and a family size oven. There are two double bedrooms and a large twin bedroom, a bathroom and shower room on the ground floor and a large shower room on the first floor. There is air-conditioning throughout the house and a wood stove for the cold winter nights.

There is a poolside terrace outside and a Portuguese built-in barbecue. The pool is 10 x 5 metres with ample deck chairs.

Owner's Comments
When the villa was built it was agreed that all services and care for the villa would be done by local Portuguese. The villa is cared for by my neighbour Odelia and her husband Jose, the pool is maintained by her son-in-law Rogerio, this is the original family from this area, its been a pleasure to know such welcoming friendly local people. Much of the rental income will be invested back into the property to make it more energy efficient, for example solar panels is the next project and a water tank for collecting rain water for watering plants is also planned.

The Algarve / East Algarve region

There is a local shop which is 5 minutes walk away, and a local restaurant less than 10 minutes walk up the hill. Outside the hottest months of July and August, Casa Al-baraka is excellent for walking in hills and river valley. Tavira is 10 minutes away with all the attractions for a perfect holiday

Tavira / Vale Do Junco area

Tavira

Tavira is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful towns in the Algarve. A Roman bridge links the two parts of the town. The old part of the town has numerous buildings that retain the Moors influence on architecture. There are numerous restaurants and bars in Tavira which is getting increasingly more sophisticated then when I first got there seven years ago. This doesn’t mean it has lost its small town charm but just that there is more on offer for visitors these days. You can still visit many small restaurants that offer good food at reasonable prices. The speciality of the region is of course grill sardines and other fish, brought fresh to your table for selection, other dishes are Cataplana and Steak on Stone.

Beaches
Catch a ferry to the Ilha do Tavira for a day out to this beautiful island beach, ferry crossing from Tavira are regular and all the year round. There are other beaches all along the coast both west and east of Tavira some of which are Cabanas, Manta Rota and Barril.

Golf
Golf has really taken off east of Faro and there are some excellent golf courses in the east such as Quinta do Ria, Quinta do Cima, Benamor and Colina Verde.
