Casa Bianca is a south facing three bedroom luxury villa set in the excellent Parque da Floresta -Santos Antonio Golf & Leisure Resort. This villa is spacious with lots of private outside space and has the benefit of wonderful views to the golf fairway, overlooking the 14th Tee.
The resort itself boasts a fantastic 18 hole golf course, golf academy & driving range and tennis courts. The villa is 5 minutes drive from the very picturesque fishing village of Salema which has a wonderful beach and excellent restaurants. There are many more unspoilt beaches within a short drive offering all year round fun and relaxation.
Lagos a wonderful marina town steeped in history is less than 20 minutes away and the lovely seaside town of Praia Da Luz is also less than 15 mins drive.
Casa Bianca is situated in a private cul-de-sac on the resort with only a few properties on the road. It's in a sheltered private position only a few steps from national park.
A very comfy, tastefully decorated villa with all the essential facilities including good sized private pool tucked away in private position, large pool terrace, bedroom terraces and two further terraces adjoining dining room and lounge area. An outside kitchen with charcoal BBQ and Gas Weber BBQ. Spacious, light master bedroom en-suite, good wifi and smart/cable tv (including Sky sports) and private off road parking. Only 5 mins drive to the nearest beach and as you are a tenant in our villa you will benefit from discounted Green fees- It’s a very special place!
We provide bath towels but please bring your own beach towels or you can hire XL beach towels at resort office for €10 per towel.
The pool can be heated for an additional weekly fee and as a guide - £250 in Spring - (1 April to 31 May), £175 in Summer - (1Jun- 31 Aug) - £200 in Autumn - (1st Sept - 31 Oct) as an optional extra. These charges reflect the current energy prices and are subject to change. Please request pool heating when you book and we will confirm the current fees for you. We will invoice you separately for the pool heating fees. We do NOT recommend pool heating between November and April as this would require a lot of energy and with current prices would mean a high weekly charge as we also have to factor in that it would take up to 6 days to bring the pool up to temperature. Please note in peak season we can only accept weekly bookings with a weekend changeover.
Our property is fully compliant and has a registered Portuguese Letting License.

Amazing property location which was not only very secluded but is only a short drive to one of the best beaches in the Algarve! The property has real character and is wonderfully presented. Heated pool was fantastic for the small children! The best thing of all however was how spotlessly clean it was which is testament to the owner and house keeping and maintenance team within the complex! We will definitely return to this property - it really did make for a truly special and memorable holiday!

Casa Bianca is the perfect villa for a relaxing holiday, we couldn't fault it. Our host was very attentive and quick to respond to our questions. The location of the villa is peaceful and picturesque. It was both comfortable and presented to a very high standard, with a lovely homely feel to it.

Super quiet location with plenty of space for our family to spend time together/spread out. Balconies and pool area were fantastic. Beds were extremely comfortable. Location near Salema (and Lagos) was perfect. No shortage of beautiful hikes and charming towns just a few short drives away. We would definitely recommend! A wonderful place to stay.

Thank you for your kind review. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay at Casa Biamca and also delighted you have booked another weeks stay later this year. Thank you for being great guests!
We loved Soraya and Richard's villa location, one of the last few on a private dead end road overlooking a vast natural area/park. It is very quiet and private. Soraya was most accomodating and an excellent comminicator. It has nice decks and patios, a great fireplace and a lovely pool. I highly recommend it for your trip to Algarve. We hope to return.

Lovely quiet , spacious Villa, lovely warm pool in a superb location
The Villa, was as described, spacious ideal for four adults, clean and modern, with a beautiful pool heated to a very nice temp. Situated on the golf course , well away from the road so very peaceful. This was our first trip to the Algarve we loved the local village of Salema, the beach was quiet, easy to book sunbeds on the day & lots of nice restaurants. We would happily come back

This is a beautiful villa in a great location. The pool is great and the owners have done a great job refurbishing to a high standard. Salema is a lovely beach village with some great restaurants. Lagos is the nearest big town and has great shops, restaurants and atmosphere. The surfy beaches of the west coast are only 20 minutes away. We really had a fabulous 2 week holiday and would love to come back.

Thank you so much for your review and we are so pleased you enjoyed our villa and had a lovely holiday in the local area. We love Salema too. It’s our favourite and so local to the villa. It’s great to know the standard of the villa is enjoyed by our guests. We would of course love to have you back! Our very best. Soraya and Richard.
Couldnt ask for more for a holiday villa. From the communication with the host to the fabulous location and the amazing villa itself, we had no complaints. Beautifully kept, so much space and the pool was fantastic. We had a little struggle arriving late finding the clubhouse which we drove past initially.but everything else was great. Highly recommended and will definitely be back again soon!

We have stayed in many villas throughout the years and this is the first time I have had no niggles at all, it was perfect. Things like a selection of nice glasses for different drinks, mugs rather than cups, a large comfy sofa, sky tv, heated and clean pool, good furniture for outdoor use, the master bedroom has a kingsize bed with a comfortable mattress. I really couldn't fault it.

Sam thank you so much for your kind review. We are so delighted you loved the villa. It really matters to read this feedback. We worked hard to make sure the villa was how we would want it - well equipped and comfy so isn’t great to get your comments! Do come back again some time! Thanks for choosing us for your holiday. Soraya
Such a lovely property nestled at the end of a quiet road with beautiful open views of the surrounding nature. Immediately relaxing and every step of our holiday was effortless due to all the care and little touches Soraya and Richard have thought about. The pool was glorious and I don’t think our boys are going to be fans of now having to spend most of their time on dry land again. Saleema is close by and a really understated but beautiful beach and village - well worth it!

About the host
Hosted by Soraya Chamberlain
We bought Casa Bianca in October 2022 and have upgraded the interior and exteriors spaces. It now makes for a lovely home and holiday villa.
We had a house on the Silver Coast (north of Lisbon) which we rented out for 17 years - many of those years we were a Premier Host at VRBO and held 5* review status. We have now moved down to the lovely Western Algarve and plan to stay here for many more years. We are pleased to have quickly built up 5* a Premier Host status again with Casa Bianca.
We have two daughters and a son. My husband runs his own business in and I am a Director for a private healthcare business. We live in the Cotswolds in England and love Portugal - we have spent many years visiting. The people are lovely, the beaches awesome and food beautifully fresh and healthy!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this area - it has so much to offer - national park on the doorstep, amazing beaches down the road, historical town (Lagos), lots of history and amazing local restaurants. We bought this villa for its position - it has the most amazing views of the pristine golf course and national park beyond, which you can access in just a few steps from the front door. Great for cycling, running, walking etc. The resort is extremely well kept and offers tennis, gym and spa treatments. The house is in a quiet cul-de-sac road with just a few houses and no passing traffic. Extremely private and sheltered position. All the bedrooms get amazing light and sunshine as does the sitting room, dining area and kitchen. It’s such a sunny place. It has everything you need and is a cosy home for any holiday. We hope you love it!
What makes this property unique
Amazing Position and stunning views of the 14th hole Private cul-de-sac road with no passing traffic, multiple sunny terraces. Only a few steps from national park Short drive to the amazing beaches of Salema, Bugau, Boco do Rio and Praia Da Luz Pool heating available on request Aircon in all bedrooms and living room
