About this property

Quinta Encosta Velha - Casa Ensolarada

## Space

Ensolarada translates to 'full of the sun', which is exactly what this house is. Thanks to the spacious rooms and large windows on all sides, this house is light and bright and offers you all the comfort you can wish for during your family holiday in the sunny Algarve.

The house has 3 bedrooms, two with (90x200) twin beds that can easily be pushed together and one (1.50x200) double room with an en-suite bathroom. One twin room and a separate bathroom are located on the same floor as the living/dining room and kitchen, while the other 2 bedrooms and bathrooms are located one floor below, with access to a small terrace. The kitchen if fully equipped with modern appliances and gives access to a sunny balcony with outdoor furniture, perfect for those late summer diners. And once the food is cleared away, you can move to the roof terrace to enjoy the last rays of the day on the comfortable lounge set.

Our townhouse is located in the Quinta da Encosta Velha resort area, which in turn is located directly next to the Santo Antonio golf resort. You can view the green of this resort from this house, so it's perfect for golfers too! The shared condominium pool is spacious and located just behind the townhouse. The nearest supermarket (Intermarche) and a handful of restaurants can be found in Budens, which can also easily be reached on foot. From Budens, you can explore the area's many lovely and traditional beach towns, like Salema (just down the road), Sagres, Burgau, Luz and Lagos.

## Neighborhood

Our holiday home in Budens, a small village close to Lagos. It is very popular amongst golf lovers, families, surfers and nature lovers.

A selection of restaurants & bars are there for you to explore both local and international food. We recommend trying fresh fish and seafood dishes! There is a large supermarket just minutes away by car, which can be reached on foot as well. The beach of Salema is a 5 minutes drive. Other beaches like Burgau and Praia da Luz, are just a short drive away. Whether you want to relax, go for a surf or enjoy an amazing hike in nature, Budens is the place to be. And if you do crave the city life at some point, Lagos is only 15 minutes away. Towards the other direction you will find Vila do Bispo and Sagres, which both have lots of bars and restaurants as well as stunning beaches to offer as well.

You can reach Budens in just over an hour by car from Faro Airport and car rental is available in the parking lot of the airport. By train it will take about 4 to 5 hours. The last train stop is in Lagos, from where you have to continue by bus or taxi.

Although public transport is available and safe, if you really want to explore the area, a (rental) car will make your life a whole lot easier as public transport is limited. Parking is free and abundant everywhere in this area.

We booked this apartment as it was local to our family. It was a great apartment, large, well fitted and immaculately clean and well maintained - it looked like new!Getting keys and access was easy. It was great value for a Christmas break

Indoor not warm enough for February

The aircondition has not enogh power for outdoor temperatures less than 15 degrees Celsius, because the main room is not seperated from the upper and lower floor and the ceiling is too high. Many doors needed pressure to get open, especilally the main entrance door.TV management difficult.

Highly recommended

As a family, we have holidayed in the Vila do Bispo region of The Algarve on numerous occasions and stayed in many different properties over the years, including several at the neighbouring San Antonia (Parque da Floresta) resort. In terms of the amenities provided, large room sizes throughout, location and views offered, Casa Ensolarada was an absolute joy to stay in and is highly recommended. We will definitely be back!

Lovely family stay

This is a large, well equipped house in a small resort development. The house is lovely with everything you need and more than big enough for our 5 adult family. The village is quieter and less touristy than some in the Algarve but with that came more of a Portuguese feel. The nearby villages of Salema and Burgau were well worth a visit. Whilst I understand costs need to be controlled, having fresh bedding/towels during a 2 week stay would be nice. Also, although we don’t want to watch tv all the time on holiday, having to bring another device was an unusual restriction that we haven’t experienced before.

In einem besseren Zustand wäre das Haus sehr angenehm.
