Casa das Flores - House of Flowers!
Review Submitted: August 26, 2011
Date of Stay: August 2011
We have just returned after a weeks holiday at Casa das Flores. The villa is lovely and had everything we needed for our stay. The property photos do not do the property justice! On arrival there was a very welcome 'food pack' which saved dashing to the shops! We spent a lot of time around the pool area, where there was an outdoor table large enough for our party of 8 to sit comfortably around. There are large canopies over the table which allow for shade when having lunch etc and yet can easily keep an eye on children in the pool! The pool was great but the deep end was approx 8-9 ft depth and so young children would need to be watched and supervised - our teenagers loved it though! We didn't hire a car for our stay - out and about we enjoyed a couple of meals in the Rocha Brava area - very nice! Rocha Brava is walkable but took approx 15-20 mins, at a fair pace, and this was where we found the nearest local small supermarket - great for fresh croissants in the morning for breakfast! Our nearest beach was Centianes - lovely beach with blue flag - and nice beach bar "O stop" where we had lunch. We also visited Carvoeiro for the day - beach was great and lots of eating places and nice shops with lovely pottery etc. We found Carvoeiro too far to walk to, and not an ideal walk either, with children, as you are alongside a busy road, so we did phone for a taxi - this was very reasonable at less than 5 euros each way.
Altogether we had a great holiday and would definately recommend, and return to, Casa das Flores.
