Casa Canasta

Approach Casa Canasta with a song in your heart. This wonderful four-bedroom, especially elegant, family villa sits majestically in an elevated position with landscaped gardens and breathtaking views across the Algarve landscape towards the coast and the Atlantic beyond.  Situated only minutes away from bustling market towns and the renowned sandy beaches of this unspoiled area, Casa Canasta promises an unforgettable retreat with unashamed luxury.

Entering through private lockable gates, the first view of this magical home is the full-size pool, surrounded by comfortable sun loungers and, of course, the view!  Add to this, exceptionally high furnishings, super modern gadgets and high-speed wifi, and the fun begins. The spacious living room with pale tiled floors, comfy seating and local artwork, leads onto the covered terrace through double French Windows. With comfortable seating for 8, and additional rattan sofas, this is where you will probably have your breakfast (and lunch…..and dinner…) everyone can enjoy the 10m x 5m pool with a poolside shower and BBQ.

The separate dining room with its round granite table is perfect for Spring and Autumn holidays. The contemporary kitchen where everything that you could possibly need has been provided – including American fridge with ice maker, combi microwave oven, dishwasher Nespresso machine, coffee maker and orange squeezer (pick your own oranges in the garden)  The separate utility room has a washing machine and tumble drier.  Three bedrooms – two en-suites plus a family bathroom – are on this floor. Each of these rooms has twin beds that zip together to make a king. Upstairs is the master bedroom has stunning views from each of its two terraces – one to the East which enjoys the morning sun and the other to the West of the villa.  Cool cotton bedding and fluffy towels complete the charm and the house is fully air-conditioned.

The star of the show has to be the gardens and the terraces (made from local Santa Catarina handmade tiles).  Around the pool are sunbathing corners and lawned areas and just behind the gate, on the east side, is an orchard with citrus fruits and our hidden “sundowner” corner.  There are additional seating areas – one around the Peppertree and others hidden behind the palm tree. You will find your own hiding place where you can snooze with a book.  Casa Canasta has a completely walled perimeter and parking for up to 3 cars.
