How would you describe Casa Arte in a nutshell?
Casa Arte is a beautiful villa rental for sunny holidays with friends and family on the Algarve, Portugal. The villa blends the privacy of a home with the comfort of a luxury hotel. It is a dream escape to relax, enjoy the quietness of the space and the peaceful environment but also to discover and experience the wild part of the Algarve.
The Moorish style building is a traditional Portuguese construction that follows the typical architecture of the Algarve like the very thick walls and earth based materials that keep the house cool in summer. The decoration brings some contemporary, minimalist and modern features to create a very casual and cosy atmosphere. It is a perfect mix of aesthetics, elegance and comfort.
There are 4 suites with en-suite bathrooms and 1 family room - two bedrooms with a shared bathroom, comfortably sleeping up to 12 people. Each room is different, unique and has its own sun-kissed terrace facing the garden. All rooms are quiet, peaceful and offer homely comforts far away from home.
Getting a good night’s rest is important, so we equipped each bedroom with high quality bedding. Each room also has something special. One bedroom has a fireplace which is lovely in winter, another one has a really big balcony. And all rooms have a smart TV.
Downstairs is a living area and a fully-equipped kitchen as well as a beautiful terrace overlooking the pool and the garden. The villa is surrounded by greenery, it is a balance between a totally natural environment and a luxurious accommodation.
This holiday rental is perfect for families or groups of friends staying together in the Algarve. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a dining area. And we have an outdoor pool surrounded by comfortable lounge chairs. The villa is self-catering but we are happy to help with any recommendations needed or special requests. Fresh fruit and bread delivery is available every morning for breakfast and we can organise grocery delivery before your arrival, both upon request. And of course we provide daily cleaning of the villa as well.
You can relax by the pool in the shade reading a book or venture out to visit Portugal’s alluring villages and beaches. 5 to 15 mins away, you can find, for example, the old historic city of Lagos, the beautiful Meia Praia Beach and Ponta da Piedade known for its stunning cliffs, grottos and crystal clear water.
Then there is the west coast, which is quieter and a bit more rough. You don’t see as many tourists or all the sun beds, ice sellers and other vendors. The beaches around us are like having a private beach. You still have a lot of places that are not overrun with tourists. And there are all kinds of different beaches; some are perfect if you enjoy watersports, others are great to sit in the sun and read.
The villa lies hidden in the middle of 2 acres of landscaped gardens with pines, palms and olive trees. You feel far away from everything but the villa is located only four kilometres from the ocean and the charming city of Lagos with plenty of restaurants and shops.
Guests enjoy the privacy the villa offers. And they love the building and how the rooms are designed. They love the style. They also appreciate how close we are to the beaches of the Algarve. Normally the Algarve gets very busy, so the guests are generally surprised that our area is different and not so touristy.
The sun pretty much shines all year around and there is always a blue sky above. With 300 sunny days a year, the Algarve is attractive at any time. It is a dreamy escape when hard winter hits Northern Europe but I would say that the best time to visit is generally from April to October.
July and August are the most touristy times. The temperature might go up to 30-35 degrees. However, you can relax in the shade under the trees during the day. At night the house has big thick walls that keep your room fresh for the most restful sleep.
