Casa Grande - 6 Bedrooms, outside kitchen, fenced pool, wheelchair friendly
Summary: Casa Grande, is originally one of the oldest farmhouses in the area, and therefore has its own very unique character. It has 6 bedrooms (one wheelchair friendly), all with en-suite shower or bathrooms, and is set in a peaceful rural location. This is the perfect location to relax, recharge your batteries and even party every day if you wish, as there are no immediate neighbours. It is only 2 km from Porches, 7 minutes to Carvoeiro and 3 minutes to Lagoa. Within 5 minutes drive, there are a wide range of excellent supermarkets. The property itself is surrounded by wine vineyards, and boasts fantastic views of the Monchique Mountains (well worth a visit) and the surrounding countryside. The nearest beaches are only 5 minutes away. To note, we have, Praia da Marinha - voted in the top 100 beaches in the world, Benagil beach - great to get a boat for a cave trip and see the stunning Algarve coastline, and Albandeira beach. Within 15 minutes drive you can choose from 5 different golf courses. Less than 45 minutes from Faro International Airport, this is a perfectly located property to explore everything the Algarve has to offer. Alternatively, you may just want to stay in and chill, enjoying all the facilities at the Villa, listening to music through the Sonos system. Fully fenced in landscaped garden with electric entrance gates. Pool, jacuzzi and sun deck separately fenced. Regularly, we accomodate guests with special needs, as it is wheelchair friendly, has a wet shower room and is fairly flat around the house itself.

---------
The property has six bedrooms, two of which have king sized beds, the others have twin single beds. All bedrooms are en-suite with either single / double showers and/ or bath. Both bedrooms with king-size beds are on the first floor. Wheel chair access is available to one bedroom, with a wet room, special washbasin and toilet (even though you would not notice). The main advantage of the property is that there are various different areas to be. In that way, nobody gets in each others hair!! Cots and high chairs are available at the house. Bedding will be provided, along with face, bath and pool towels.The pool is about 13m x 5.5m. This can be heated, if required, at extra charge of 300 GBP per week. There is a 7 night mimimum charge. An important note is that the pool area is fenced in, thus giving more peace of mind with regards to little ones. There is also an outdoor jacuzzi in the pool area. Free wi-fi is available in the house, plus an additional access point covering, the bar, the barbecue area and some terraced areas, such as the outside sofa area and some parts of the pool terrace. A very popular option with our guests is draught Sagres beer, costing 120 Euros for 50 Litres (approximately 90 pints). We also have Strongbow Cider at 130 Euros for 30 litres and draught white wine at 120 Euros for 30 litres. It is amazing how well these drinks go down in this climate! The beauty of the outside dining/ kitchen area is that it is covered and shaded, a good escape from the sun. There are two barbecues one gas and very easy to use (plus you don't get your hands dirty!), or another for the charcoal aficionados as well as a new log pizza/bread oven.
There is also an oven, gas burners, two fridges, dishwasher and cutlery in that area to save carrying back and forth. The house boasts a Sonos music system, with thousands of songs to choose from, as well as many internet radio stations. This music selection can be played in all rooms if so required, as well as the pool area and barbecue. If that is not enough you can stream your own selection from your own playlists directly from you iPhone, iPad or Android device! A full Sky package is available including films and sports as well as cable tv with many english spoken channels. Fibre optic internet delivers a high speed internet connection. In the entrance, there is also an area with a separate tv and playstation 3, with games for all ages, karaoke, etc.,and a selection of board games etc. There are also quite a few books for your reading pleasure. To keep everybody active, we have a pool table, table tennis, football table, darts, football and nets, three adult and three children bicycles, water polo nets, and a trampoline. Additionally there is a outside play area for young children with climbing frame and slides. There is a small herb area, to use at will, some fruit trees, avocado trees and passion fruit growing. Obviously, we cannot guarantee that they will be in season or ripe for eating.
In essence, these are all the ingredients for the perfect family holiday.

Fantastic Villa - everything we needed for an incredible holiday!
The villa was perfect - spacious, very well equipped and well thought out. Loads to do, amazing outdoor spaces and the outdoor kitchen was the cherry on top. Howard was really attentive during our stay, and the house was spotless. We can’t wait to come back. Would recommend a car as you need to drive to shops / restaurants/ beaches etc but loads of options within 15 min drive.
The house was in a rural location but a close drive to beaches. It offered everything for the 3 generations of family, games room, eating and cooking zones, large swimming pool, hot tub. A perfect farmhouse with character. Cannot fault it.
Our family of 11 spanning from 4 year to 79 years visited Casa Grande in October 2023. This was our 5th tour with the family, and it was unanimous rated as the best. Main reasons for this are:
1. Casa Grande with its family history being respectfully updated to support a modern living.
2. The ability to provide rooms with adjacent bathrooms to the three families and especially single rooms to the two teenagers.
3. The heated pool and spa allowed for all day use by all members.
4. The outdoor kitchen and dining facility. This was in use all days except one due to weather conditions.
5. The owner – Howard Bancroft –friendly and informative welcome, a refrigerator filled with food and water and immediately availability when needed and nicely assisted by the maiden ensuring total cleanness during our stay.
6. The garden with ample space and the surrounding vegetation including impressive trees.
7. The mixture of tranquility and still closeness to small towns and fascinating beaches. (car(s) needed and some luck with parking).
All in all, our strong recommendation for Casa Grande as it provides “full value for cost.”
Just the most relaxing of holidays. The villa has absolutely everything and we simply loved the quiet location. If Howard will have us again we’ll certainly be regular visitors!
Wir wurden herzlich empfangen.
Man hat uns alles gut erklärt, was die Funktionalität des Hauses angeht .
Handtücher waren genügend vorhanden und wurden auch regelmäßig von der Haushälterin die immer gute Laune versprüht gewechselt.
Pool , Strand und Kinder Zubehör ist reichlich vorhanden.
Die Außenküche ist komplett ausgestattet, es fehlt an nichts.
Da das Grundstück komplett eingezäunt ist und der Pool noch mal extra, hatten wir keine Sorge um unseren Kleinen Gast.
Gerne wieder, liebe Grüße
Familie Schoon
We all enjoyed are stay, had lots of fun in the pool
The bar was a great hit . We found Howard very helpful and friendly, the cleaners did a great job.
Would love to return. Thanks to all
The property for me and the family was just wonderful

Amazing place and was well looked after. Highly recommend the villa.
Far too many superlatives to list!!
I hired Casa Grande to celebrate my 50th birthday and there were 6 couples. We had plenty of living space to not be on top of each other and privacy. The outside space was amazing and most of the time we decided to not go out and make use of the pizza oven, and outside cooking area. Along with the Sonos sound system we had some fantastic fun during the days and nights. The pool area is large enough for water sports or to have a little space from everyone if you want it. It is cleaned thoroughly and the maid is welcoming and helpful. Howard was the perfect host and has created the perfect place to celebrate or enjoy a large party holiday. We will be definitely returning.
If Carlsberg did holidays !!!
