Beautiful Town House set in pine forest 3 minutes walk to beach

Casa Serena is a very attractive, large 2 bedroom town house on an exclusive, private development, nestling on the edge of surrounding pine forest & just 3 minutes walk to the blue flag beach. Big enough for a family & cosy enough for couples, the house has high standards of furnishings throughout. Casa Serena is situated in the romantic area of Praia Verde (Green Beach) in the Eastern Algarve, so called because much of the surrounding area is covered in pine forest & is a protected conservation area. The Eastern Algarve (Sotavento) is rightly called the unspoilt gem of the Algarve and Praia Verde is perhaps the prettiest of locations. From the roof terraces there are spectacular views of sea, mountains, beach & forest! Praia Verde is only 35 minutes from Faro airport via the motorway & provides a perfect location for your summer holiday rental, whether beach, golf, walking, cycling or simply relaxing. Praia Verde also benefits from 24/7 private security, exclusive to the development.

Accommodation and Facilities for the house in the Algarve, Portugal

Local Golf

The Western Algarve is famous for its excellent golf facilities and the Eastern Algarve is no exception - there are five 18-hole courses all very close to Praia Verde: Benamor - 18 holes, Par 71, 5,500m designed by Sir Henry Cotton - situated near Conceiçao just off the N125 (ask us for website link). Colina Verde - 9 holes, Par 28, 1,145m is situated between Olhão and Tavira. Quinta da Ria -18 holes, Par 72, 6,016m designed by Rocky Roquemore and situated near Vila Nova de Cacela just off the N125. Quinta da Cima - 18 holes, Par 72, 6,256m new sister course to the Quinta da Ria and is located next door! Castro Marim - 18 holes, Par 71, 5,265m designed by Terry Murray and situated near the historic town of Castro Marim. In the western Algarve there are the more famous golf courses, such as Villamoura, which hosted the World Cup in November 2005, but they are more expensive than the courses above.

Shopping, food & other activities

Both Vila Real de Santo Antonio and Tavira are real-life small towns with shops for everyday items - some excellent bargains are to be had in household linens - towels, bed linen and table linen. Along the coast road and inland, fantastic local pottery is available. The beach resorts of Monte Gordo and Altura provide holiday shopping with gifts, clothes, shoes and beach equipment. There are many other activities open to the more adventurous - from walking, riding, cycling, sailing and surfing - all within easy access from Praia Verde. There is an excellent beach-side restaurant near the house, Pezinhos N'areia, for drinks, lunch, snacks or evening dinner - great for watching the sun go down with an ice cold glass of the local vinho verde. Excellent restaurants abound in the Algarve, both in the towns and nearby villages and along the coast road. Choose from the local 'black' wild pork, cataplana (seafood stew) or fresh fish and you won't be disappointed.

Beaches

Every type of beach is available - from small coves to wide-open spaces. Casa Serena is located only a few hundred metres from the wide-open, blue-flag beach of Praia Verde, with a pedestrian access path leading straight down. From the beach it is possible to walk to Monte Gordo in the East and Altura to the West, each taking less than 45 minutes. If you feel really adventurous just keep on walking - the beaches stretch for miles! The whole beach area is very much orientated towards families and is a very safe, clean environment with ample open space, even in peak times, for sunbathing, swimming and playing with the kids! This area is truly one of the most outstanding areas of natural beauty - you will not be disappointed!
