New discounted prices Welcome to Casa Palmeira. Casa Palmeira is simply a fantastic place for a holiday. It does have a special kind of magic, and we love to welcome new guests to come and enjoy. We think Casa Palmeira has everything you could want and need - relaxation, privacy and space, with lots to do and see on your doorstep. \*The price for every rental includes pool heating from the beginning of May to mid-October, and hot tub heating all year round, as well as all bed linen, pool and bathroom towels. It also includes free wi-fi. We have just upgraded our wi-fi through Vodafone fibre, and the download speeds are impressive! We have now installed an electronic pool cover - so easy to operate, and it means the pool will stay warmer. Must be good news! Our solar panel pool heating is now operational. And with a definite nod towards sustainability and our carbon footprints ( and rising electricity costs in Portugal) we have taken a deep breath and installed solar panels on the villa roof, to take advantage of the lovely Algarve sun. It all helps! 🌞☀️ Parque da Floresta has recently been rebranded, and is now known as Golfe Santo Antonio. There is so much on offer here, for golfers, non-golfers, and families - golf, driving range, putting, bowling, tennis, pools, football, and children's club, as well as restaurants, all within the resort. Casa Palmeira sits on the edge of the 12th Fairway, in what we think is the best location in Parque da Floresta. The villa is in a quiet cul-de-sac, with just a few villas nearby. It is very private, with an enclosed garden, heated pool, hot tub, and mature garden. The villa is well-equipped and very comfortable. The accommodation is on 2 levels. On the upper level there is the sitting-room, dining-room, kitchen and utility room, the study, and the master bedroom suite. The sitting –room leads on to the upper terrace, which has several different areas for eating and relaxing, as well as a sun awning, for a bit of shade. There are, in both the sitting-room and the study, literally hundreds of books (1200 at the last count!) for you to enjoy during your stay. We are serious book lovers, and sometimes a kindle just isn’t so good for reading in the sun. There is also a substantial video library, with many films from Disney to action films. We also have satellite channels on the study TV, and in the sitting-room we have our new subscription service which means you can find pretty much all the UK channels, and many, many more. The study also has an Xbox 360 games consul, with a few games. Entirely up to you if you let your kids – even the big kids! – find it or you hide it away. The Master suite is a big airy room, with access to the upper terrace, and windows over the pool and garden. There is a dressing room, leading to the ensuite bathroom, which has a spa bath, twin basins, toilet, bidet and separate shower cubicle. The kitchen and utility rooms are well equipped and very functional. The kitchen has an electric hob & oven, microwave, dishwasher ( essential, we think!), and fridge freezer. There is a further fridge freezer in the utility room, along with a washing machine and tumble drier. Downstairs, with access to the pool and garden, are a further 3 bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, and the other 2 share the family bathroom. There is also a small kitchen, which is great when you are BBQ-ing on the lower terrace. All 4 bedrooms and the study have aircon units which supply cool air, and also hot air for the winter months. One change is that sadly, post Brexit , we can no longer send out mini toiletries from the UK, and we have been unable to source anything of similar quality locally. While our stocks last, we will continue to make them available. Thereafter it will be soap or handwash only. Outside is special. We have over the years totally landscaped the gardens, and there are lawns on lots of different levels. We are enclosed by a large hedge, which gives us amazing privacy. The pool is created with unusual green tiles, and is heated. Heating is included from 1 May to mid October, and out of those times, the solar heating will be operating, but as it depends on the sun, the temperatures are not guaranteed. It will still be warmer than an unheated pool, and there is no charge for it. The pool is 3.5m wide by 11m long. Shallow end depth is 1.2m, and 1.9 at the deep end. We built the hot tub, and it is a great addition. It seats 5-6 easily, and has lights for evening use. Hot tub heating is included all year. Also we have a roof terrace. Very exciting, and it adds a new dimension to the villa. 360 degree views, and sun all day long. Such a great addition - we think. Hopefully you will think so too. A couple of years ago we had great fun creating a short video of the outside space at the villa. Our son, Ben, composed and played the soundtrack. It is in the photo section of this website. I hope you will have a look! Casa Palmeira is within walking distance of the clubhouse and spa at PdF, and it is about 10 mins by car to the lovely beach at Salema. We think Casa Palmeira has everything you could need for a great family holiday, but that still doesn't quite say it all. It doesn't explain why our guests come back year after year, and why it is just an amazing place to spend your precious holiday. It is impossible to put your finger on it, but whatever it is, it makes Casa Palmeira special, and just a little bit different - doesn't feel like a holiday villa, feels like home! We look forward to hearing from you soon. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea - Next to a golf course ### Things to do - Golf - Heated pool - Optional golf privileges - Tennis - Cycling nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 2,282 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, and a deadbolt lock This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

The temperature of the pool was just perfect. The addition of an electric pool cover was very welcome, and the roof top terrace was a perfect venue for yoga during sunset! There were numerous areas for outside dining, and you could seek shade or enjoy the sun whatever was your preference. We would love to return in the near future. Thank you. ##### Gillian A. Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David C. Feb 28, 2019 #### Spacious and comfortable villa, well equipped and in beautiful surroundings. Lovely garden. We stayed for a week at the end of Feb 2019- aiming to get away for a bit of warmth and to escape the winter in Cornwall. The villa couldn't have been better- masses of space for our family of 5. The area was obviously out of season but supermarkets/ main restaurants open as normal and everyone was very helpful. Being out of season has it's advantages as the whole week was peaceful and relaxing which is what were hoping for. The weather was kind and not dissimilar to an English Summer- but in February! The area is lovely with stunning coastline to compete with Cornwall but with quiet roads and easy driving. The whole holiday was straightforward, easy flights, simple drive to the villa, warm welcome from Maria the manager, and we couldn't really fault anything. The pool was surprisingly warm and we spent a lot of time just chilling out at the villa and following the sun around the lovely terraces and often ended up having a drink on the rooftop terrace with it's panoramic views. A perfect, relaxing week- many thanks, we would love to return. ##### David C. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah S. Aug 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing little gem We were a family of 7 including 3 children (9-12) and 2 grandparents. The property was very spacious split across 2 floors, downstairs had its own small kitchenette which was handy for the gp's. Master bedroom was devine, loved the bed! Aircon in the bedrooms was a godsend as it was very hot when we were there. Main kitchen was amply stocked with every utensil you could need for a large family. The outside of the property and pool area was stunning. Pool itself was lovely and jacuzzi a nice touch. Only small downside was there were no bars restaurants in walking distance so a car is def needed, but we knew that when we booked. Overall cant recommend highly enough. Team were attentive and speedy in their responses too! Thanks guys! ##### Sarah S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leigh S.

The Villa perfectly sleeps up to 8 people wit it‘s 4 Bedrooms + 3 Bathrooms ( 2 of them en suite). The views from the main level as well as the small rooftop terrace over the golf course with the hills and the Atlantic Ocean in the background are breathtaking. The Villa was perfectly clean when we arrived and we appreciated the very flexible check-in / check-out procedures. This is definitely a place where we would love to come back in the future. ##### Frank W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Sofia R.

It was really well equipped for 8 people and the facilities provided made it feel like a home from home. We particularly enjoyed the large heated pool and the surrounding garden. With regard to location, the coast, Lagos, and a range of supermarkets were all within easy reach with a car. The only thing that could have been better was the outside garden furniture, which is showing signs of its age, but this is only a minor detail and didn't spoil the experience in any way. We all enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider returning. ##### Peter H.

Villa's furniture, crockery and cutlery all of good quality. Plenty of tips in Villa suggesting restaurants within easy reach and if leaving the car at villa a number for an excellent cab service. Golf course was fun to play and the Spike bar is highly recommended. When contacted the local agents were very helpful with any questions we asked.

The villa was amazing , the outdoor space around the pool and the multiple outdoor eating areas really make it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the weather. Location wise it's great, 5 min taxi to the beach and restaurants and 15/20 minutes to Lagos. Customer service was second to none and made for a very enjoyable and relaxing week. Would highly recommend! ##### Nick F. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris U. May 2, 2017 #### What a fabulous Villa! My wife and I ust returned from a fabulous week at Chris and Margo's 5-Star property in St Antonio. The villa is really well kitted out and we made full use of the hot tub and pool during our stay. Being right next to the National Park, we also went on a couple of nice long walks in the late afternoon, and if you plan it correctly and pass under the main road to the little village (can't remember the name) there is a very nice pub where you can have a refreshing beer or glass of wine. Although we didn't eat there, they have a good menu and I heard good reports from others about the quality of the food. The golf course is good and can be challenging given that it is built on the side of the hills and a lot of the holes are either down or up a valley. If you prefer carrying your clubs it is possible (as I did) although there are a couple of long uphill climbs on a couple of the holes. Lagos is not far away if you want some nightlife, a taxi is about EUR40 to get home afterwards. We will certainly be returning and would have no hesitation in recommending this to others. ##### Chris U.

Sep 12, 2016 #### Renny's Relaxing Retreat The travel information provided prior to our holiday meant we arrived with no problems and only 1 hour 10 mins after leaving the airport we were at the villa. This villa has everything you could possibly want on a self catering holiday and more! The whole house was immaculate and the welcome pack in the kitchen ensured a snack on arrival was exactly what was required. The villa is spacious and cool despite the temperatures outside being 40 degrees whilst we were there. During our week we met the cleaning staff, the pool staff and the gardeners who were all so friendly and unobtrusive. The restaurants recommended came up trumps and we ate out most of the week in Salema as there was a variety of restaurants which were excellent. Would also recommend the Italian restaurant on the complex- fantastic value. We were all so impressed and our friends who accompanied us raved the whole week about just how relaxing our holiday was. We will definitely be back in the future. Most definitely recommend it - excellent holiday! ##### Moyra R.

The property was clean and spacious and a great choice for a family holiday. There are so many stunning beaches in this part of the Algarve. Our favourites are Salema, Zavial, Mareta and Amado (especially good for body boarding). ##### Julia H.

Aug 4, 2016 #### Excellent property, well appointed We have been renting villas in this area for many years and would highly rate Casa Palmeira, which has character and a homely feel. The bedrooms are very well appointed, the kitchen has everything which you could need with high spec crockery and cookware. There is also a downstairs kitchen which is very well stocked for the pool area. The living space is very comfortable and the study is a bonus. The infinity pool is a good size for serious swimmers and the outside patio area and gardens were lovely. The owners were very helpful and had a lovely attitude towards renting their property. Would definitely rent this one again. ##### janette g. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Koli P. Aug 31, 2015 #### A hidden gem Casa Palmeira was one of those places you come across that you never want to leave again! It was luxurious, spacious, well designed with great attention to detail everywhere. The comfortable living areas, beautiful bedrooms and extremely well equipped kitchen (have never found Cath Kidston mugs nor Le Creuset cookware in any previous holiday lettings before!) made it a joy to holiday in for two weeks. We were 3 families staying there across two weeks at different times and enjoyed all aspects that Casa Palmeira had to offer. The gorgeous pool and hot tub made it very special too and we have some great memories amongst us now as adults, not to mention how much fun our varying aged children (10-17 years) all had too. Spotlessly clean and well managed throughout our stay dealing with the owners and also the villa/site manager with any queries. Whilst the nearest town Salema only had a limited number of restaurants which were good, would recommend that having dinner in Lagos just a 25 minute drive away is worth considering too particularly for a little more atmosphere in the evenings. We also loved the Paraiso restaurant overlooking the beach in Praia da Luz for brunch! Amongst our party of energetic children (including 4 teenagers) all thoroughly enjoyed the watersports on offer in Luz (paddle boarding, pedalo slides, donut and inflatable sofa rides and jet skiing). They also tried surfing and bodyboarding at nearby Cordoama beach which was fabulous. Would highly recommend this villa and holiday to anyone wanting a relaxing, away from it all break with spectacular views and comfort but with the option to do plenty nearby in under 30 mins by car. A hidden gem indeed :) ##### Koli P. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rupert G. Aug 14, 2015 #### Beautiful villa in a fantastic location Casa Palmera is every bit as beautiful as the pictures. Set in an envious position overlooking the golf course and equipped with everything you could hope for in a holiday villa (including a roof top balcony perfect for an evening tipple), we couldn't recommend it enough. We ate twice in Lagos (20 minutes away) at Cafe Xpreitaqui and A Petisqueira both of which were extremely enjoyable and great value. The beaches past Villa do Bispo were also a great find all contributing to a fantastic holiday. ##### Rupert G. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Aug 10, 2015 #### Superb well appointed villa on golf course This is a spacious 4 bed villa just over an hour form Faro airport. The villa and beautiful gardens give loads of spaces to sit and relax in peace or to eat alfresco. All very clean and well maintained. The roof terrace was a great hit with us with evening drinks and canapes. Pool is a good size and although it may seem odd in the heat, the Jacuzzi was a bonus. With 7 years of villa holidays under our belt, this is certainly the best appointed with plenty of crockery, glasses and good quality kitchen equipment so anyone keen to do a bit more cooking with local produce can do so easily. Maid service was included plus good pool towels, a first for us and a bonus not to have to pack these! The villa is right on the golf course. It is not as expensive as some of the neighboring courses, and we played with our teenage kids regularly. You can play and pay for just 9 holes front or back which is great so a good place to go with keen youngsters or beginners but not wanting the pay the exorbitant green fees of other locations. We also used the tennis courts and driving range. Spa is onsite and back and neck massage is a must for girls! Shopping very easy with a good supermarket literally 3 minutes from the entrance to the complex and excellent for fresh meat and fish. There is a great gas BBQ at the villa. We ate out several times while there visiting three restaurant in the nearest village. you can walk down to the village or the taxi company is very efficient and reasonably priced. Food was sensational especially the fish as you would expect! Our teenagers also ordered take away pizza one night from one of the restaurants on site. Certainly recommend this property to friends it is a high quality villa in an excellent location. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Hotel.h4071.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagos Avenida Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Lagos-Avenida-Hotel.h19333855.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Salema Beach Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Vila-Do-Bispo-Hotels-Salema-Beach-Village.h15175162.Hotel-Information) > > [Velamar Boutique Hotel - Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Velamar-Boutique-Hotel.h2928512.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Falésia](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Falesia.h1787641.Hotel-Information) > > [VidaMar Resort Hotel Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-VidaMar-Resort-Hotel-Algarve.h5670748.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Santo Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Monte-Santo-Resort.h2135874.Hotel-Information) > > [São Rafael Holidays](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Sao-Rafael-Villas.h8516728.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Lagos.h2543952.Hotel-Information) > > [Marina Club Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Marina-Club-Suite-Hotel.h1489839.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Blue Ocean](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Blue-Ocean.h14861176.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Algarve Hotel - Beach & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Jupiter-Algarve-Hotel.h1133428.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta Pedra dos Bicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Quinta-Pedra-Dos-Bicos.h1200216.Hotel-Information) > > [The Navigator - Solaqua](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Solaqua.h4461872.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Marina Portimao Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Portimao.h976931.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Apartamento Brisa Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Hotel-Apartamento-Brisa-Sol.h2335413.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Alvor-Algarve-Resort.h33811605.Hotel-Information) > > [Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sagres-Hotels-Martinhal-Sagres-Beach-Family-Resort.h3091253.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Pedro Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Dom-Pedro-Lagos.h1382394.Hotel-Information) > > [EPIC SANA Algarve Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-EPIC-SANA-Algarve-Hotel.h5995034.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Clube Praia da Oura](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Muthu-Clube-Praia-Da-Oura.h1182280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Algarve Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Hotel-Algarve-Casino.h6468.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Atlântico Algarve by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Kimpton-Atlantico-Algarve.h3036868.Hotel-Information) > > [W Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-W-Algarve.h73757170.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Cerro Alagoa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Cerro-Alagoa-Hotel.h891218.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Tivoli-Lagos.h876691.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Petra](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Vila-Petra.h1100476.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Oriental Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-AP-Oriental-Beach.h912470.Hotel-Information) > > [Cascade Wellness Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Cascade-Wellness-Resort.h4018224.Hotel-Information)
