About this property

Large villa - 6 rooms, garden and swimming pool in Budens, near Salema beach.

Casa da Palmeira is located in the center of the village of Budens. It is a traditional architecture house, which combines Algarvean and Arab influences, designed by architect José Alberto Alegria, a specialist in earthen architecture.
Extremely spacious, the house is ideal for groups: it has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, a 60 m2 living room, a dining room and kitchen, and generous circulation areas. Outside, in addition to the garden and swimming pool, guests have access to a large patio with a lounge and barbecue area, in the tradition of Mediterranean architecture, as well as two balconies overlooking the village and the valley.
Just a few kilometers from Budens, our guests can choose beaches for families, such as Salema beach, beaches for surfing and other water sports, such as the fantastic beaches on the West Coast (Tonel, Amado,...) or even the almost deserted and protected beaches of the Costa Vicentina Natural Park (Boca do Rio, Zavial,Castelejo,...).
In addition to walks through this typical village in Western Algarve, the great hiking routes that cross the Algarve pass a short distance from Budens - the "Via Algarviana" and the "Rota Vicentina", a major attraction for those who visit us.
The municipality of Vila do Bispo, to which Budens belongs, also has a diverse historical heritage, from the megalithic era to Roman civilization, as well as a set of military and religious buildings from the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden period of the Portuguese Expansion.
The village has three restaurants, a supermarket, a bakery, a gas station, all at walking distance. Guests also have access to a golf course and tennis courts next to the village.

The reference payment covers up to 10 people, with an additional fee for each person beyond this number, up to a limit of 5 more people.
Rent by the week (from Saturday to Saturday); Depending on availability and prior contact, minimum stays of 4 days may be considered.

Glorious villa, great surroundings and beaches, wonderful and helpful hosts.

Thirteen friends on a early summer holiday to Portugal, what an experience. The villa is situated in the heart of Budens, easily accessible from Faro airport (<1 hour drive). There are many lovely beaches on the south and west coast, and Lagos or Sagres are no more than 20onutes drive away. We had some great hikes, runs, beach days, pool days and BBQs and would recommend the villa to anyone. The hosts were fantastic, timely in replying and had some great food recommendations. We will be coming to stay again!

Large villa

The house is a very comfortable space for a large group of people. There were 11 people in our group. The kitchen and the outdoor grill were perfect for our needs and of course the pool was fantastic! It is fairly close to some really lovely beaches. It would be nice to have basic supplies when one arrives. Such as dish washing liquid,dishwasher detergent, bathroom hand soap, paper towels and spray cleaner for the counters. It would be nice to have 1-2 beach umbrellas and a few beach chairs and a cooler. We bought all that and left them at the house for others to enjoy. When you have a large group it is not feasible (money wise) to rent beach loungers every day. I hope this doesn’t prevent anyone from staying here, it just needs a little tweaking!

Thank you for your comments. We have already added some basic supplies (dishwasher liquid, spray cleaner) to the ones we've always offered (hand soap, dishwasher tablets), according to your suggestion. As for beach equipment, we will have parasols available on request. Improving our guests'experience is a motto for us.

La vivienda es muy espaciosa y todos nos sentimos muy cómodos. Está situada además en un lugar perfecto para poder visitar toda esa zona. Igual que el año pasado, la estancia se nos hizo corta, nos hubiera encantado quedarnos unos días más!

Maravillosas vacaciones!

La casa es fantastica, con todo el sabor de una casa antigua, pero perfectamente conservada. Es muy grande, con mil recovecos que hicieron que nuestros niños pasaran unos dias inolvidables. Todas las estancias son muy amplias y están muy limpias y cuidadas. El jardin, la piscina y la zona de barbacoa son muy agradables también. Por poner un "pero", la piscina cubre poco y no está señalizado, podria ser peligroso al saltar si no se ve antes. La comunicacion con Adão fue perfecta, atento a nuestra estancia en todo momento. La casa está en medio del pueblo, por lo que se puede ir a pie al supermercado, a la panaderia (tiene unos panes buenisimos), y dar un paseo por las callecitas del pueblo, muy tranquilo y agradable. En conclusión: nos encantaría repetir!

Super séjour dans cette magnifique maison!

Notre séjour a été fantastique ! Nous avons reçu tout d'abord un très bel accueil de la part des propriétaires, qui étaient très gentils, disponibles et flexibles. Nous avons reçu des conseils non-négligeables sur les activités à faire dans la région. La maison est un petit coin de paradis: très bien agencé, très spacieuse, calme sans être isolée (commerces et restos à quelques pas) et très bien située pour visiter l'Algarve. Elle est décorée avec goût et a tout l'équipement nécessaire pour y passer de très belles vacances, il ne manquait absolument rien. Nous étions 13, et tous, adultes, ados et enfants, ont adoré ces vacances! Concernant la région, il faut juste prévoir des pulls pour le soir car c'est assez venteux. Nous recommandons à 100% cette maison, quant à nous, nous n'hésiterons pas y revenir!

Uma casa de família para férias em família|

Uma casa de família que beneficiou de uma intervenção de qualidade e bom gosto, torna-se num espaço de excelência para férias em família. Os impactos positivos começam logo a chegada quando somos recebidos pela Estela e pelo Adão. Mostram-nos com manifesto prazer uma casa cheia de espaços e recantos, capaz de abrigar sem dificuldade os 14 elementos da família. A qualidade é também patente nos electrodomésticos (2 frigoríficos garantem as necessidades de todos), loiça em abundância e no conforto das camas, super importante para um bom descanso. E poderia ficar por aqui. Mas acho que é importante tentar deixar nota do tão extraordinário ambiente que encontrei. Faço férias neste modelo há mais de 10 anos e esta casa, foi para mim, o espaço mais bem conseguido de todos os que já visitei. Pela envolvência exterior, pelo jardim, piscina e espaço de convívio num páteo acolhedor, pelo interior com uma recuperação muito bem conseguida pelo arquiteto que a assegurou. Esta é a opinião geral da família depois de uma semana na Casa da Palmeira. Os nossos agradecimentos à Estela e ao Adão por terem este espaço tão cuidado e de que podemos usufruir!

Summer stay 2022

Lovely villa, huge and spacious, had everything we needed. Local area (Budens) a bit run down. Two lovely local restaurants (O’Tiago’s and Pizza D’Aldeia), but told everything else that was shown on our phone maps had closed over the previous 2-3 years. Outstanding beaches up and down the coast from 5 mins drive away. Overall had a fantastic stay.

Diese Villa ist wirklich ein außergewöhnliches Schmuckstück, sie befindet sich mitten im alten Teil von Budens. Sie hat eine maurisch beeinflusste Architektur und die Räume und der Innenhof haben eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre. Sie ist riesengroß und ist perfekt für eine Gruppe, da man große Gemeinschaftsräume hat und sich trotzdem jeder mal zurückziehen kann. Die Vermieter sind wirklich sehr nett. Wir sind begeistert!
