This was my second visit to Casa Grande, and it was even better than the first. The facilities are exceptional, lovely gated pool area, functional bar, and BBQ / outside dining area, made for a very easy and relaxing stay, whilst in luxury facilities. Howard really is at your disposal, no question is too small, and he can be easily contacted by text / phone. There are multiple dining options should you wish to stay out of the kitchen (however we loved the enormous BBQ and used it daily!) which include having a suckling pig delivered to your door ready to eat (this was a big hit!) and there are numerous restaurants a short drive / taxi away. Seafood etc is magnificent and readily available at the supermarkets (of which there are about 5 within 5 mins drive). Our age range was 8 months - late 60's, and there was always something to keep every occupied. I look forward to returning again - no doubt about it!

Casa Grande offers everything you could want for a relaxing stay in the sun! It's location is secure, quiet and surrounded by a vineyards. The Villa itself is spacious with great facilities and we genuinely never want for anything. In Howard, I have someone I trust and, be it I have a question or require support of any kind, he is always contactable and happy to assist. This I value greatly. In addition to the great facilities, is the sense of space. The pool area is fantastic and when you want a break from the sun, there are great places to just sit and relax in the shade.....We miss it already and we've only been back 2 days! (*not helped by the fact I'm typing this review looking out of my window at the rain*)

We are finishing our 3rd trip to this special place and have already booked to return next year.
Booking is easy, instructions clear and the owner Howard is cheery, accommodating and will support any needs you have. Our two children both have additional support needs and nothing is ever too much trouble. A quick text to Howard in the afternoon and he'll book a restaurant and organise your taxi, it's like having a concierge with incredible local contacts and knowledge.
As you arrive at the villa electric gates and they roll back you enter a tropical paradise. Well planted for total privacy and beautifully colourful.
The villa itself is large and spacious with high end finishings in keeping with a traditional Algarvian Quinta. Well appointed bathrooms and large TVs in the public rooms (even a gaming centre in the hall if you fancy it). If you need it there is a disability adapted bedroom and stairgates for safety.
The absolute star of this villa is the outside space. The pool is enormous and can be heated. Lovely pool area with loads of loungers. The pool is fenced and gated from the rest of the garden and the whole perimeter of the property is secure.
A fabulous BBQ house and bar mean you can eat outside in comfort every day if you wish and comfortable shaded outside seating gives a lovely place to relax.
A games room in the double garage gives loads of choice and an outdoor trampoline and play area is available for younger kids.
I could go on and on raving about this villa. We can't recommend it highly enough. We relax the minute we drive through the gates.....
This was our third stay at this lovely villa. The accommodation is of a very high standard with all the amenities you could wish for (especially the cold beer on tap!). Our group consisted of 11 in total, ranging from the "oldies" in their sixties to the youngest who had her 2nd birthday whilst we were there. It really was easy to cater for everyones needs with a very spacious feel to the property. Everyone enjoyed the pool in that lovely weather and the garden was a great place for the kids to play. The local area has much to offer by way of beaches, shops, restaurants and all within easy reach. We will certainly be going again and have already booked our next visit!

What a fantastic place to stay. From the minute we arrived to the last moment of our stay it was wonderful. The villa is spotless and the cleaning staff are superb. The pool and outside eating area are brilliant and the pumped beer was a great touch not only for the men I must add lol. Howard the owner is a true gent even when replacing our empty barrel of beer within 20 minutes at 10.o,clock in the evening, you can,t ask for better service than that.
With only a ten minute drive into beautiful Carvoeiro, if you feel the need to leave the villa, and a five minute drive to the shops I could not recommend this villa more highly. The SONOS music system gives you music whenever it is required and caters for all tastes . The villa is well equipped both inside and out. Surrounded by vineyards it is a very peaceful and relaxing location, safe and secure for children.
Thank you very much Howard we will see you very soon.
