About this property
Luxurious 3 Bed All Ensuite Villa,Private Heated Pool,Spectacular Valley Views
Casa Boa Sorte is a spacious and beautiful air-conditioned villa nestling in the tranquil hillside of Cerro da Mesquita. The villa has recently undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment for the enjoyment and comfort of our guests, which includes Wi-Fi. All bedrooms are now ensuite and furniture and furnishings are of a very high standard. Specification includes Super King Vi-Spring mattresses, solid walnut low-end sleigh bed, rosewood and metal bedsteads and under floor heating to all bathrooms. Outside the villa now benefits from a large Kamado Joe BBQ, in addition to the traditional Portuguese BBQ, and rattan outdoor furniture.
The new pool cover ensures that the large roman ended heated salt (slight) water pool maintains the perfect temperature between use. The villa affords total privacy making it an ideal place to spend a family holiday, honeymoon or romantic break and enjoys spectacular uninterrupted and panoramic views across the valley with views out to the sea. Easily accessed from the main road and situated on a made up and lit private lane with off road parking for two cars, Casa Boa Sorte is just a few mins drive or bike ride from the delightful unspoilt town of Sao Bras de Alportel, once the cork capital of Portugal with its restaurants and all the facilities you'd expect to find in a small town including a choice of supermarkets including an Intermarche. Pavement cafe's are a plenty for times when you just want to enjoy a mouth watering cake and coffee and do a bit of people watching. Sao Bras is a favoured destination of some very well known celebrities who have come to relax and enjoy the laid back atmosphere, so you never know who you might be sitting next to, as you widen your eyes and whisper "is that who I think it is" and the answer we can tell you is probably yes. But everyone respects their privacy. Leaving Sao Bras an easy 20 minute drive will take you to Loule, the coast and beaches, golf courses and Faro airport. Tavira and the Spanish border town Ayamonte are also within easy reach and Lisbon is a 2hr drive. With its unique microclimate and sheltered positon, Sao Bras is one of the Algarve's best kept secrets and the location couldn't be more ideal for exploring the best the region and the Algarve has to offer.

About the host
Hosted by Michael and Donna
Me and my wife are originally from London and like most people living amid the hustle and bustle of busy cities, longed to spend days in more tranquil surroundings. We first holidayed in the Algarve some twenty years ago and it quickly became a favourite place above all other European destinations.
Why they chose this property
When we walked in and saw the amazing panoramic views we just looked at each other and knew it was perfect. The unspoilt local town of Sao Bras de Alportel is ideally situated for touring the Algarve and is just fifteen minutes from Loule, twenty five minutes from Faro airport and close to Tavira and the Spanish border. Lisbon is an easy two hour drive.
What makes this property unique
The villa is truly a home from home.The location is peaceful with breathtaking views over the valleys, yet the town centre is just a couple of minutes down the road. We love eating alfresco on the upper terrace where there is a traditional Portuguese barbecue (or our fantastic Kamado Joe) and then relax with a glass of something chilled under the pergola beside the lemon and orange trees in the garden or then again you could go for a bike ride.
