It is simply a fantastic place for a holiday. It does have a special kind of magic, and we love to welcome new guests! We are very keen to make our villa more sustainable and limit our impact on the environment. So, over the winter we have installed new solar panels on the roof. Makes a huge difference to our electricity usage. 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 the end of October, and hot tub heating all year round, as well as all bed linen, pool and bathroom towels. It also includes free wi-fi. 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, tennis, pools, football (in high season) 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. 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 subscription television channels in the sitting-room, all the UK channels, and so much more. The tv has online options, such as Netflix, &Prime video that you can log into. 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), and fridge freezer. There is a further fridge freezer in the utility room, along with a washing machine. Downstairs, with access to the pool and garden, are a further 3 bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite shower room,and the other 2 share the family bathroom. There is also a small kitchen, which is very useful 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. Outside is special. We have over the years totally landscaped the gardens, and there are lawns on several different levels. The garden is enclosed by a large hedge, which gives amazing privacy. With a nod to climate change, and as we try to save water, we have concerted a couple of borders into gravel with drought resistant plants. The pool is created with unusual green tiles, and is heated. Heating is included from 1 May to end October. 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 recently, and it is a great addition. It seats 5-6 easily, and has lights for evening use. Hot tub heating is included all year. New for the 2024/25 season, we’ve dramatically improved our wi-fi, with a new Vodafone fibre supply, we offer unlimited data, and impressive download speeds. Also we recently built 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. Recently 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! One change we’ve had to make is supply of toiletries in our bathrooms. Now the UK is no longer in the Single Market, we can’t export our usual min toiletries from the UK, and we’ve been unable to find anything of similar quality. So, once our present supplies run out, we will only be supplying handwash/soap. 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. Guest access All linen is provided along with bath and pool towels. For all lets of 14 nights, there is a mid term clean and linen & towel change. Further cleaning or towel/linen changes available for an extra charge. Other things to note Casa Palmeira is fully licensed by the Portuguese Authorities, licence number 4436/AL. Casa Palmeira is a wonderful, relaxing place to stay.Many of our bookings come from guests who return year after year, and love it as much as we do. It is hard to describe that makes it so special, but here goes! There is air-conditioning in all 4 bedrooms and the dining room/sitting room, and study/library. The living-room has a wood burning fire for cooler evenings, and has 3 leather sofas, including a 'UFO' or 'Love-Seat' with lots of cushions, for total relaxation. There are 3 double bedrooms and a twin bedroom. Upstairs is the master suite with a fabulous super-king size cherry wood sleigh bed, with matching furniture. Downstairs in the shower room suite, there is king size double bed, and in the third double, there is a Portuguese double bed. The fourth bedroom has twin single beds. The study has a wide screen TV, with digi-box, and a broadband wireless router, and printer. The emphasis in the whole house is comfort and convenience, with all you would expect from a family home, with perhaps a few extras. The villa is child friendly, but the pool and hot tub are not fenced, so care needs to be taken with small children. The garden at Casa Palmeira is a delight, full of flowers and mature shrubs and trees, including orange, lemon and guava trees, and with large lawned areas. The lawns are enclosed by hedges, offering privacy and shade, and provide a wonderful place for children to play. There are terraces for sunbathing at all times of the day. The pool is private and heated.We have recently built a 5-6 person Hot Tub. This is a great addition to the outside space. The downstairs kitchen opens onto a terrace with BBQ. The terrace is laid out with a dining table and chairs, and with large pots of colourful flowers. This area is ideal for outdoor meals as it provides shade from the heat of the sun, but still provides the fun of al fresco! Upstairs, the west facing terrace has a large dining table and chairs, which are ideal for evening dining as that terrace catches the last rays of the sun. The garden area is fully equipped with loungers and a hammock for poolside relaxation. And, we have now built a lovely roof terrace - to add to the spectacular views, and provide sun all day long. Make sure you pack lots of sun screen! Registration Details 4436/AL
