Beautiful villa with private pool and extensive terracing
Casa MardiGras is our beautiful and much loved family holdiay home. It is situated in the lovely Vale of Larenjeiro which is set between the delightful village of Moncarapacho and the larger town of Olhao. The inside is modern, extremely well appointed and equipped; a real home from home. The village of Moncarapacho has good supermarkets, a morning market, lovely restaurants, two banks with cash machines and is only a five minute drive. The larger fishing town of Olhao with everything you need is just a ten minute drive. Some of the best fish restaurants on the Algarve are to be found in Olhao. Nearby is the coastal town of Fuzeta lying within the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. There is a safe and sandy beach there and if you take a 5 minute ferry ride you will be transported to the Isla de Armona which has some of the best beaches on the Algarve. The historic town of Tavira is only 25 minutes east and the fabulous shops and beaches of Faro are only 25 minutes west.

Casa MardiGras is perfectly located for exploration of both the Eastern and Western Algarve region of Portugal and has the added bonus that you can be in Spain on the Costa de la Luz within half an hour. Vale de Lobo which is the epicentre of European golf is half an hour to the west and the historic town of Tavira is the same distance but to the east. The beautiful and sometimes overlooked Faro Old Town takes twenty minutes to reach. All along the eastern Algarve coastline is the Ria Formosa Natural Reserve - an absolute haven for twitchers. Olhao sells the very best fish on the Algarve and the fresh fruit and veg market is exceptional for quality and price. If you want to shop for clothes, Olhao is the place to buy Diesel shoes, Quicksilver, Roxy and all the major clothes labels.

| Notes: | Our single story villa is built in Portuguese style on the outside to blend with the countryside, but the inside is modern, extremely well appointed and equipped. Water volleyball, lilos and children's water noodles are provided for use in the pool. The property is completely fenced and gated to ensure absolute privacy. The 10 x 5 metre pool complete with sun loungers and outside shower is set in a beautiful sun terrace. The house also benefits from large inside terraced areas to protect you from the sun and for comfortable Al Fresco eating. The house is also very well insulated against the extremes of both the summer and winter temperatures. We have excellent Villa Management who are always available to help and advise you. |
Birdwatching
This is a great area for birdwatching. The red backed shrike, the whoopoe and the sardinian warbler have all been seen and photographed from the house together with 'little owl' who visits regularly.
Supermarkets
'Ali's Super' which is the local supermarket in Moncarapacho is open seven days a week - 8.00 am until 8.00 pm. All four supermarkets in Olhao are open seven days a week. It is advisable to bring euro's cash and then use your bank card for extra withdrawals. The local banks are not up to speed with travellers cheques. Withdrawing money from the cash machines is a simple procedure and transacted in English. There is also an internet cafe in Moncarapacho so you can keep in touch with home and work if you really need to.
Other Activities This is a also a great area for birdwatching. The red backed shrike, the whoopoe and the sardinian warbler have all been seen from the house.

There is a local 9-hole golf course and the new golf courses at Tavira and Castro Marim are less than twenty minutes away. The more well-known courses (Villa Sol, etc) are only thirty minutes away, as is the course in Ayamonte, Spain.

Our wonderfull holiday
Tubbs, East Anglia
Review Submitted: January 19, 2008, Date of stay: August, 2007
We stayed at CasaMardiGras in the summer of 2007. This is a great place for a family holiday. My three children are 16, 13 & 10 and they all loveed it.
The house is exactly as described and was exceptionally clean and comfortable.
I would recommend this location and this Villa for the perfect family holiday.
We will be going again.
Owner's response:
