About this property

Spacious 3 Bedroom Family Villa With Private Pool

Our villa (Casa das Duas Palmerias) is located in the typically Portuguese village of Almadena, just a few minutes walk to local restaurants, bicycle rentals and other amenities and a short drive to numerous beaches, horse riding, dolphin watching boat trips, golf courses and the larger town of Lagos. The villa has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious lounge, dining area and large kitchen. In the garden there is a private swimming pool, eating area and a brick built barbecue. Like most Portuguese houses, with high ceilings, extensive use of marble and blinds on all windows it is designed to remain cool in even the hottest weather. The villa is equipped with a TV with BBC, !TV, Sky and many other channels. Complimentary wifi is available. The nearest beach is at Burgau, about five minutes away by car. However, Luz, Salema and Lagos (all 10-15 minutes away) offer bigger and better beaches. Our favourite beaches are Salema, Zavial (20 minutes) and Beliche (30 minutes).

Great family holiday
Fantastic villa in a lovley Portuguese village. We stayed for 13 nights (myself, parnter and two daughters) villa was exceptionally clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Lovely touch with a welcome pack on arrival. Great booking process and communication before and throughout our stay. We visited Luz, Lagos and Burgau during our stay using Ubers to get about. Lagos zoo is well worth the visit and only 10 mins drive. The only issue was the villa at the back of the property is currently being renovated so was quite noisy at times during the week. Obviouly this cannot be helped and we didnt let it spoil our holiday. Would highly recommend this property for a relaxing family holiday.

Recomendo, super top
A casa era impecável, tal como as fotografias e até melhor. Bastante grande, com vários quartos, piscina e pátio muito bom para convívios e churrasco. Óptimo para passar umas boas férias. Quando chegamos tínhamos comida e bebida de boas vindas, e a entrada e chegada na casa foi super fácil e acessível. Também tínhamos disponíveis almofadas, mantas, toalhas, jogos, máquina de lavar, estendal, acessórios da piscina, todo o tipo de loiça. Tudo o que pudesse fazer falta, e ainda mais. Tivemos sempre uma óptima comunicação com o proprietário, sempre disponível e á disposição. Ainda tivemos visita de jardineiros, senhora de limpeza e manutenção de piscina. Caso queiram mais privacidade, poderão dispensar os mesmo, nos fizemos com a senhora da limpeza, pois estávamos em altura de almoço e não dava jeito. Tivemos uma estadia de uma semana muito agradável.

Estupenda casa para unas vacaciones en el Algarve
Hemos pasado una magnífica estancia en esta casa de Almádena, un lugar muy tranquilo, y muy cerca de lagos y de las distintas atracciones y playas de la zona. La casa es muy espaciosa y cómoda, si bien el mobiliario está un poco anticuado, pero para unas vacaciones está bien. Lo único que se echa en falta es un lavavajillas. Hemos disfrutado la piscina, que estaba muy limpia. Se agradece mucho el detalle de que dejen algo de comida y bebida a los huéspedes para cuando llegan. Muy atenta la propietaria (Robin) y su agente. Muy recomendable esta casa.

Erholungsurlaub in Almadena
Freundliche Reinigungskraft, nette Umgebung und schönes großes Haus. Jedoch war der Hahn des Nachbarn und die Hunde etwas störend und auch dem Wasser fehlte gelegentlich der Druck. Alles in allem verbrachten wir einen erholsamen Urlaub.

Fantastic holiday! :-)
We recently stayed at the villa in Almadena and had a lovely time. The villa was very clean and well presented. We received a welcome pack upon arrival. A cleaner came half way through the week to clean the villa and the pool was also cleaned during our stay. Mr and Mrs Ketteringham were very helpful from day one. This was the first time we have been to Portugal and loved Almadena, a very small local friendly town, with a mini market and local amenities.. There is a lovely pub located in the village called Brodies, that we ate at twice.. Burgau is within walking distance, Burgue a local fishing village with a fantastic sandy beach... We travelled to Praia da Luz, which is just a 10 minutes drive.. again great beaches and restaurants.. We traveled by bus.. there is a bus stop in Almadena and only cost 8 euros for all 5 of us to travel on.. The bus's are pretty regular and easy to use.. We are very keen to visit again and stay at Mr and Mrs Ketteringham's villa and have already enquired for a longer stay in 2019! Highly recommend all! :-)

More than adequate villa for a family holiday.
Firstly I would like to thank Mr Ketteringham to allow us to have a holiday in his villa.I was very disappointed that the bedding was not changed as agreed.I was of the impression that a welcome pack would be there on arrival.If it should have been,it was not there.Our gas ran out on the 3rd day,which was dealt with on the same day.However perhaps that should not have happened,as the system was a two bottle sytem,so that when one bottle is empty it should be changed whilst the other bottle is being used.These comments are purely for the benefit of the owner..Regards,Gordon Kendrick

Très belle villa spacieuse, propre et très fonctionnelle . Identique comme sur les photos . Le point culminant était la grande terrasse avec la piscine. Agréable séjour dans la ville d'Almadena, a proximité de Burgau, Luz et de Lagos ou l'on y retrouve de bon restaurant, de belle plage, des magasin et surtout un paysage magnifique . La plage la plus proche est très appréciable. Une villa vraiment idéale !!

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Robin Ketteringham

Host profile image
Hello
We have owned this property for over 20 years and it has been the destination of many family holidays over the years. Our children came to regard Portugal as a second home and had many friends there, particularly in Salema where, as teenagers, they enjoyed the bars and restaurants and we, as parents, never had to worry about them out alone in the evening.
We enjoyed the beaches at Salema and slightly further afield at Zavial and on the west coast. We loved the restaurants by the sea but the barbecue and garden enabled us to eat at home as a family and we enjoyed the shopping at local markets for those meals.
The weather in Portugal is such that we eat almost all our meals outdoors from March to November and now that we are retired we are better able to visit throughout that period.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house after 10 years of owning an apartment in Salema. After all those years we had come to love the Western Algarve for the weather, beaches, food, and friendliness of the people. We felt at home there. It was easy to get to Faro airport early in the morning, pick up a car and be in Almadena for a late lunch! (Now that the motorway serves the Algarve it is only an hour from the airport).
We also love to walk in spring and the autumn (when the weather is still good but a little cooler) and visit the inland areas such as Monchique and Silves.
Almadena is quiet and takes us away from crowds. Even in August we can choose whether to go to a vibrant buzzy place or a quiet destination. Sometimes we go for a long week-end sometimes 4 weeks. We always return refreshed.

What makes this property unique

Almadena is a typical Portuguese village making an ideal spot to base your holiday, it's small with a few shops and restaurants for any immediate needs. The garden and pool give you immediate access to enjoyment of the weather. You will need a car to explore the glories of the Algarve coast and the inland areas. Busy Lagos is an attractive destination to shop and eat and is about 15 minutes away by car. It also has lots of attractions suitable for the family, boat trips etc. If you have children, try the water parks such as Slide and Splash, a little further along the coast. There are several attractive golf courses all close by.
As the house sleeps 6 people and has three bathrooms we never feel on top of one another; the spacious living areas give us all plenty of space to chill out
