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.
