Algarve
There are several well-stocked supermarkets and a huge selection of good restaurants to choose from.

Best Beach Destination in Europe
The Algarve was once again distinguished as the “Best Beach Destination in Europe”, in the 2023 edition of the World Travel Awards.
This is the eighth and seventh consecutive time that the Algarve region has won this prestigious award from the leaders of the tourism and travel industry from around the world, who annually participate in this initiative and vote to reward the best tourism offer on a global level.
The beauty and diversity of the beaches in the Algarve, the sun that is felt all year round and the offer of conditions for the practice of various activities including water sports and golf are some of the characteristics most valued by those who choose the Algarve beaches, as well as the 87 blue flag beaches of which 48 beaches are adapted for people with disabilities; it is based on the combination of all these attributes that the Algarve has been distinguished, over the last few years, as “Best Beach Destination in Europe”.

Great Stay at Casa das Heras
“Perfect home for the week.”
By Mary P. on 24-Sep-2019
Fantastic Holiday
“Cass Das Heras is an excellent villa. Well-equipped and very spacious inside and out. Antonio and Maria were very helpful. It’s our second year staying at villa and most certainly will not be our last . Robertsons , MacKays and Frasers”
By Marie R. on 29-May-2019
Perfect in every way
“The villa was beautiful and clean . No bad comments at all . Can’t wait to return .Try the restaurant A casa do Avo around the corner as it was amazing .”
By julia T on 24-Oct-2018
Highly recommended villa
“Our second visit to Casa das Heras and was just as impressive as years ago. An excellent equipped villa that is maintained and cleaned to a high standard as is the large heated pool. Set in a large garden surrounded in fencing and electric gates the security and privacy are first class. Wonderful views from roof terrace especially at sun set. Local shop, restaurant and cafe within walking distance but would recommend hiring a car as limited choice. Owners are a pleasure to,deal with and are easy to contact. We look forward to returning soon.”

Casa Das Heras
“We had a lovely relaxing stay in Casa Das Heras. The villa was very well equipped and finished to a very good standard. The pool was used extensively! We also hired cars which enabled us to explore more of the Algarve and the villa was a good base to do this from. We will hopefully be coming back to the Algarve next year…..”
By Gregg L. on 02-Aug-2018
Excellent accommodation
“Can’t fault the property, rooms all immaculate, the grounds & swimming pool were very well kept. The guy that checked us in was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Maid service every couple of days was very welcome too. I’d definitely return to this villa!”
By David L. on 04-May-2018
Luxury and well equipped villa
“First impression… how big and beautifully furnished this villa is. Wandering around looking at the lovely bedrooms, each with a luxury en-suite was an exciting experience for all, we couldn’t wait to see what was around the next corner, not being disappointed by anything we saw. The kitchen was well equipped and so spacious. Looking in all the cupboards to find plenty of items you would need, even the cutlery was like you would find in a good class restaurant. There is a laundry room with an easy to use washing machine, also, the pots and pans looked like they were new… even the oven sparkled. We were all very impressed with having the robes and towels for the pool. 7 people in our party, all with their own private spaces and balconies, what more could you ask? The walk in shower downstairs was ooh so nice that, I now want one! With a choice of two BBQ areas one outside and one from the kitchen door that had, lovely views over the side of the villa. The pool is quite a good size to swim in. Having been to this area 22 times and in quite a few villas, I would say this is certainly one of the best we have stayed in. Thank you for ease of booking, being given information each step of the way and their help in making this a wonderful holiday for 7 really satisfied customers. I would thoroughly recommend this villa to anyone, who wants a lovely holiday experience that you won’t forget.”

Another wonderful stay in Casa das Heras
“This was our third visit to Casa das Heras and yet again we all had a wonderful holiday. There were three generations staying including an 18 month old and we certainly made use of the pool and surrounding grounds. We particularly like how rural the property is, yet is within a very short distance of the beach, supermarkets and restaurants. And Albufeira is only a 10 minute or so journey away. (We always hire a car as it is essential here). The villa is extremely spacious and everything you need is provided – including a bean to cup coffee machine! The grounds are beautifully kept and very private and the pool is just the right size. The local manager is on hand should you have any problems and is only a phone call or text away; the maids come three times a week; and there is also a man who looks after the general running of the property and grounds (he is really friendly and speaks good English as our Portuguese is woefully lacking). As our family expands I suspect we will have to look for a larger villa in future which is a real shame as this place really is perfect and we would be hard put to find somewhere as nice.”
By Sally B. on 16-Aug-2017
Fantastic Place to Stay
“We were immediately impressed with the villa, the space and cleanliness was second to none. The pictures on the website are impressive but still don’t do the villa justice. There were eight of us including two younger children and there was ample space for the children to play football and play with Frisbees on the garden, my elder kids made full use of the table tennis and we all loved the pool. The outside dining area was perfect, and had plenty of room for all eight of us. I’m now racking my brain trying to think of how our stay could have been improved and am struggling to come up with anything. The maid, gardener and manager were all very friendly and approachable. We will definitely consider this villa the next time we visit Portugal in the not too distant future.”
By Paul W. on 06-Jun-2017
