Vacation Rental Description
This cosy, individually furnished villa with pool lies on a southfacing hillside near S. Bras de Alportel and enjoys spectacular views over the valley to the Atlantic coast. The house, with its 144 sq.m., offers ample space for 6 people, and is an ideal place to relax and unwind. It has easy access by road to all parts of the Algarve, and to Spain (40 minutes).

Villa Holanda offers everything you could wish for in a holiday to recharge your batteries! Come and stay and unwind....

The small town of S. Bras nestles in hills of cork trees, whitewashed houses, almond trees (almond blossom time: around last week in January), fig and carob trees.

This unspoilt hilly hinterland of the Algarve offers you a holiday away from the tourist crowds with peace and quiet. Villa Holanda is about 4 km from the small town of S. Bras where you will find well-stocked supermarkets, restaurants, street cafés, banks and post office. S. Bras and the larger town of Loulé (8 km) are a special shopping experience, you can still find some smaller individual shops, market halls offering daily fresh vegetables and fruit, fish and meat, and weekly gypsy markets.

Take a seat in one of the many street cafés, enjoy reasonable prices, the tempting traditional cakes and sweets, and the unhurried lifestyle and colourful atmosphere.

The local museum takes you into the history of S. Bras as the cork-producing capital of the world, and has a lively programme of music and cultural events (www.cm-sbras.pt, www.amigos-museu-sbras.org). The Easter Sunday procession with its flower petal carpeted streets is a famous event and a must-see.

Eating out in this part of the Algarve is a low-cost pleasure, traditional Portuguese restaurants serving fresh fish and seafood, hearty stews or the famous Chicken Piri-Piri. S. Bras now boasts Chinese, Italian and Indian restaurants as well, most do carry-outs so you could still dine alfresco on your terrace without cooking.

Restaurants on the coastline have a more Northern European price level. Some 5-star eateries can be found here for that special night out.

The prized Algarve beaches and some of the most famous golf courses (the Golden Triangle – Quinta do Lago, Vale de Lobo and Vilamoura courses) are only 25 minutes away by car. Thanks to easy access to the motorway, you can explore the Algarve from East to West. The motorway can also take you to Spain and the town of Ayamonte in 40 minutes - another cultural and culinary experience, or into Seville in 2 hours. Thanks also to the new fast rail link, you could squeeze in a day trip to Lisbon, or instead you can choose to stay at home and soak up the tranquil surroundings.

The owners of Villa Holanda have been living in the Algarve some 20 years and are resident in the neighbouring house. They would be pleased to give you local tips (if desired) and help you make your holiday a success.

  • On the ground floor is the fully equipped kitchen. Through the kitchen you enter the combined living/dining room with log fire and large panoramic window with view onto the valley. The hallway takes you to the two airy bedrooms, one with an EXTRA LARGE DOUBLE BED and the other with two single beds, and to the bathroom with large tiled walk-in shower - BIG ENOUGH FOR TWO. On the same floor is the partly roofed, spacious upper terrace with motorised canopy for shade and a truly memorable sea view. In the evenings the lights of the distant coastal towns shine like diamonds. LOVELY ROMANTIC SETTING FOR HONEYMOONERS! The large private pool area has barbeque, sun loungers, pool towels, tables and umbrellas. On this level is the apartment, which has a bedroom with two single beds (can be pushed together), a bathroom with shower and a small pantry with fridge & tea/coffee making facilities. FREE BROADBAND INTERNET Wi-fi! The Algarve is renowned for its mild winters and hot summers. The Moorish influence is still clearly visible in its architecture, and there are lots of historical points of interest to explore.

    There is something for everyone here, whether you are interested in history, nature, culture, are a beach lover, have kids that love water parks, play golf, like horseriding, love shopping, or just need to take time out and get away from it.

    The coastal strip with well-known towns like Albufeira and Vilamoura is highly developed and tourist-orientated, whereas the inland region seems like a world away, and some of the smaller villages tucked away in the hills still have that underdeveloped rural charm.

    "Our first family holiday to Portugal and it's exceeded our expectations - due in large part to the wonderful Villa Holanda. The combination of comfort, privacy, great pool and bbq and accessibility to the beach when we felt like it have made for a fantastic 2 weeks. We hope to be back next year! " Pippa, Chris, Barnaby & Oliver Scudds, Nether Wallop, U.K.,

    "We had a fantastic time at Villa Holanda. A big thank you to Gudrun for all the helpful information and hospitality, and you made us settle into our holiday from day one. The views were spectacular. Pool, BBQ and facilities were exceptional and will never be forgotten. Hope to come back again. Many thanks again, Trevor, Kath, John, Kylie and Adell, Newcastle"

    "Gudrun, you have thought of everything! We have stayed at many places throughout Europe, but in Villa Holanda what we needed was there. Warm welcome, homemade fudge, excellent location and wonderful views were the "icing on the cake". Relaxing and peaceful time for us all and we hope to return again." Phil, Allison & Daniella, Birmingham

    "If you want peace and quiet with spectacular views, yet within easy access to the main highway, then this is the ideal place to stay. It was just the tonic we needed. The tour on our arrival was very helpful and we would like to thank Gudrun for everything." The Baxendell Family, Spalding, U.K.

    "We just got engaged and we hoped to have a romantic first vacation together. And that is just what we got!!
    Gudrun made us feel at home. We are proud to be the first Dutch people to stay at Villa Holanda!" Arn & Elze, Nuenen, The Netherlands
