About this property

Stunning Farmhouse With Private Gated Pool & Outstanding Sea and Beach Views

Casa do Grego has glorious sea views and stands alone in an unspoilt area of outstanding natural beauty. It is set back from a cliff-top with uninterrupted views down to the Sao Rafael beaches overlooking fig and olive trees and many mature mimosas and umbrella pines. The Grego is a 5 bedroom converted 160 year old farmhouse but has been sympathetically modernised to retain many of its original features including its bread oven, cisterna and water catchment area. It is a family home with a well-equipped modern kitchen, TV, WiFi, DVD player, outside terraces, barbecue and a gated heated 9x4m swimming pool with gentle graduated steps. Casa do Grego is within easy walking distance of the beaches of Sao Rafael with impressive beach cafes, the new prize-winning marina of Albufeira and many excellent restaurants. Albufeira is located in the central Algarve and is close to several golf courses, a riding school, slide and splashes and Zoomarine - well worth a visit with or without children. The farmhouse is built along traditional lines with walls nearly 1 metre thick in places, mainly stone tiles on the floors and air vents through the roof in various places. The combination of these features and the regular on-shore sea breeze mean that it is rarely too hot. There is, however, a fan in each bedroom just in case the wind drops at night - a rare occurrence.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I, my brother and two sisters jointly own Casa do Grego which is a family home passed down by my father to his children. We have all spent many holidays there at different times of the year and most of us regard it as our 'second home'. Each of us is now married with children of our own who are growing up rather quickly and we do like to go somewhere else occasionally which frees up Casa do Grego for other families to enjoy! Over the years, various families seem to have adopted it as their second home as we have had many repeat tenants with one family staying every year for 8 years. The area around Albufeira offers so much for each age group and we believe that this is what makes Casa do Grego such an excellent holiday base for families and/or groups of friends of all ages.

Why they chose this property

Casa do Grego was bought by my father in 1963 for family use when he was appointed as chief architect in charge of the Vale do Lobo development at Quateira. Back then, there were hardly any hotels and nowhere for all of us to stay when he was working in the Algarve. When the house was first converted, there was no electricity or running water and I have vivid memories as a child of paraffin and gas lamps, a charcoal iron, a paraffin fridge and 10 minute shifts on 'bomba' duty pumping water from the cisterna up into the water tank!
We continue to thank our lucky stars that the area immediately surrounding the house has remained quiet and remarkably unspoilt and that the view down to the beach just as magical as it ever was. The beaches are fabulous and we all learnt to swim in the nearest cove and spent hours scavenging among the rock pools.

What makes this property unique

Casa do Grego is a converted farmhouse with stunning views that was originally built in the second half of C19th. It still retains several of its original features including its bread-oven, ladrilho floors, water catchment area and did have the original 'Christ o rei' hanging by the inglenook fireplace in the living room which was found buried in a wall during the 1960's conversion. Traditionally a figure of Christ the King was always buried in the foundations to bring both the house and its occupiers both luck and blessings. Sadly some well meaning person thought that it had been broken and threw it away --- grrrr!
The Algarve, and the Albufeira area in particular, is well-known as a great place to holiday with its fabulous beaches, excellent golf courses, thousands of restaurants, bars and other amusements. Casa do Grego is a marvellous base for all these attractions but provides an alternative quiet oasis for those who just like to chill out and enjoy the pleasures of their own gated pool and unpolluted air!
