Photos and Description of this A Dos Francos holiday villa 4+ Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, villa upto sleeps 10

Casa Bianca is an attractive, privately owned villa with swimming pool on the edge of the pretty village of A-Dos Francos on Portugal's unspoilt Silver Coast; about a 45 minute drive north of Lisbon, 25 minutes from vibrant Peniche and just 15 minutes from the Golden Eagle Golf Course. The villa is set on the slope of the hill, has its own private swimming pool set in landscaped gardens, and is surrounded by olive trees and overlooking the rambling vineyards and fruit orchards adjacent to the village. The peace and tranquility of the setting make this location the perfect family getaway with plenty of room and all the privacy you will need for a truly relaxing and memorable holiday. The house has no immediate neighbours and so affords perfect security and privacy with no disturbance at all. The South-East-facing wrap around balcony provides the most beautiful views and is an absolute delight for early risers who wish to catch the sunrise! The terrace is bathed in sunshine till late.

Simply Perfect

Jai Australia
Review Submitted: May 20, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Views stunning - food great, really cool place for a bunch of friends. Loved it. Highly recommended for those who want to relax and have a fun time. It is a large house and so peaceful. We took long walks each evening after supper and then enjoyed a few hours sampling fine Alentejo wines on the terrace.
Owner's Response: Thanks Jai and friends for your kind words. It makes our effort so worthwhile and keeps us on the path of continuous improvement. I do have to say that most guests love the balcony / sun terrace more than any other part of the property because the views are truly quite spectacular. It would be a pleasure to welcome you to Casa Bianca again in the future.

A small paradise!

Nalle Kannus, Finland
Review Submitted: July 11, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We stayed at Casa Bianca for one week and the place was unbelievable. House itself, gardens, pool, everything was clean ja well looked after. There was 9 people in our group and still there was enough room for everyone. Children loved the pool, and we adults enjoyd retriet garden and the big terrace. It was nice to meet the owner when we arrived and once again as we left. Thanks Brendon, time in Casa Bianca was perfect. Weather was also great all the time and that also made us very happy!
Owner's Response: This year has been quite busy, and I can see, and am grateful that guests to the villa appreciate the special efforts we have made to improve the "Garden Retreat" are paying off already. Thanks to my staff and others who have worked so hard to make the house look so beautiful for the summer season.

Great location and very comfortable villa

Pander Reading, Berkshire
Review Submitted: June 19, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We stayed at this property for a week at the end of April and had a great time of it. Unfortunately the weather was not kind for most of our visit and this is why I think the house was brilliant. That games room is packed with stuff from videos, music, games, books and a pool table, Play station so we just got on with it and stopped complaining about the weather!
The covered BBQ was also a life saver. If anyone reads this, then I would recommomend you stay here. We will be coming back for a longer stay but I see that this summer is already booked out so we could return here next year.
Owner's Response: Thanks for you comments. We look forward to welcoming you back here in the near future. From me and the whole team, all the best.

The perfect villa for us

Janah Winchester, Hamphire
Review Submitted: February 21, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2007
We visited Portugal and stayed at Casa Bianca in October 2007 for 2 weeks in some brilliant sunny warm weather. The villa was so bright, modern and well decorated with all mod cons you would expect in an expensive hotel. I noticed immediately we had no neighbours so we tended to spend most of our time outdoors in the gardens and by the pool till late each night.
Star for me was the recreation room and by the way, the kids loved the pool table and playstation, huge collection of DVDs etc. Its great that the villa has two lounges and that little gym. The pool and surrounds are so beautiful not to mention ofcourse the huge balcony with those views. Your caretaker Fatima was such a Godsend especially as we arrived after 1.00 am in the dead of night and she was actually waiting for us with the keys when we got there. I would definitely recommend this property for those who like space, comfortand complete privacy. Will be returning here someday soon.
Julia R from Hampshire
Owner's Response: Cheers Janah - We greatly appreciate these positive comments about the house and the facilities. Fatima, our caretaker, will be delighted when I tell her about this. We do make strenuous efforts to listen to customers and strive to improve and where possible, personalise the service in such a way that guests feel completely at ease and free to enjoy their hard earned vacations in the luxurious surroundings of Casa Bianca. We look forward to the coming season and hope that all our guests have a memorable and relaxing time at the villa.
Many Thanks - Brendon

Our recent stay at Casa Bianca

Narciso Hemel Hempstead
Review Submitted: February 7, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
We had a truly wonderful time at the villa in December 2007 so that we have decided to book again for the summer. The decor was amazing and the ambience just right. We have never in all the years of travel (31 years now) ever experienced such a fantastic combination of luxury, excellent service and support from your local staff, high standard of decor, sheer comfort, complete privacy and accessibility to all the amenities. The large room was a complete surprise, most especially for the kids. You have made sure that there is something for everyone here so us older folks were just as comfortable. The fitness studio was a tremendous bonus.
The best feature for us was probably the front sun terrace with those fabulous views of the vineyards, olive trees etc. I look forward to spending a good deal of time enjoying the views when we return in the summer.
Owner's Response: We are delighted at the generous comments as they really represent what we try to do for our customers. I guess none of this would be possible without team effort from the caretaker, gardner and support staff in Portugal. The Silver Coast, as a destination does have a great mix of attractions, golden sandy beaches, superb restaurants, shopping and golf to name just a few things one might do whilst on holiday and Casa Bianca is within easy reach of all of these. What most guest really love about the villa is the complete privacy and security we offer. The other comment we get quite regularly is about the cleanliness, the bright airy rooms and the decor. We take the time to act upon suggestions and comments from our customers and are constantly upgrading and improving facilities.
