3 friends and I stayed at Casa Blanca for a 5 day golf break in the Algarve, as we do every year. I can honestly say the villa is by FAR the best place we have stayed in the Algarve.
It's located close to beaches and in close proximity to a range of golf courses, supermarkets and water parks. The villa itself is a thing of beauty, it's spacious, homely and the setting is beautiful. Nestled between a backdrop of the sea, it is large enough to be private with plenty of room in the house and grounds. Wake up greeted by the sunrise, which shines onto garden all-day and watch the sunset from the veranda in the evening with a beer in hand.
The pool was just right, clean and warm and large garden were perfect to chill out, play music and act like kids again.
The bedrooms were cool and we didn't even need the fans that were provided. The mosquito nets made sure we slept even better ( not that there were many mosquitos at all).
The kitchen was fully equipt and a dishwasher made life easy. The BBQ was the hardest worker during our stay and made short work of kilos of seafood and steak. The BBQ area was clean and close to the veranda making sure the cook was never too far away from the conversation.
Although WiFi is a bit weak outside, but it wasn't a problem, there is no need to stare at a Phone screen when you've got the pool and garden to keep you entertained.
Instructions for arrival were clear and easy and everything we needed we had.Can honestly say this villa is AMAZING

The villa is very spacious and in excellent condition. It was very clean. The bathrooms were immaculate and finished to a very high standard. Although the kitchen was small, it is very well stocked in terms of utensils and equipment. I would say the fridge is on the small side for 8 people if you are trying to chill drinks and store food. It’s great that the tap water is safe to drink but it was warm so needed to be put in the fridge to cool down.
The outside dining and seating areas are very comfortable and spacious.
The pool is a great size and is plenty big enough for a range of inflatables. We thought the pool was heated, but it turns out it is only heated in colder months so our toddlers found it a bit cold to be in for very long which was a little bit annoying.
Anabelle came to check on everything on our first morning and was so helpful in recommending beaches and places to go. Communication with the hosts is excellent and they are very quick to respond.
The bedroom layout of the villa is a bit unclear as one of the bedrooms and bathrooms has its own separate keyed door, so we couldn’t use it as it was too far away from the other bedrooms as we had young children.
Overall we had a fabulous time here, however I do think not having air con particularly in bedrooms needs reviewing. The upstairs bedroom was incredibly hot (32 degrees one night) and even with a fan it was super uncomfortable to sleep. Sadly it would put me off booking again.

Nice pool. 2 casual good restaurants near by. We did have some problems with water supply, other than that, everything was fine. Good for a family holiday or a group of friends.

It was everything and more than we hoped for. The 3 boys had so much space both in and out of the pool and the adults had ample private and social space to choose from. We all loved the villa

The property was absolutely stunning and ideal for our family.
Annabel was lovely. Air conditioning would benefit the property, but would still happily visit without as it was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

A beautiful villa
We had a fabulous holiday in this spacious, stylish and well equipped villa. The well tended gardens were the perfect place to spend the day and the huge shaded terrace with views of the sea was an ideal spot to rest and for eating. Carveiro was a short drive away (or a 3 hour walk with stunning cliff top views). It has good supermarkets and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the boat trip with Carveiro.com. Would recommend coming here to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday with a little luxury and comfort.

Outstanding Villa! Perfect location! 5 star..
Wow, that was our first impression when we first drove into the grounds of Villa Casa Blanca. large gardens, beautifully landscaped with stunning palm trees, massive pool, stunning views of the sea and cozy seating / dining area. It was perfect! The villa was very spacious for a family of 8 (5 adults & 3 children age 5, 9 & 10. There was ample storage. The bathrooms were very spacious, 2 of which had a bath and stand in showers. The Villa had a lovely Moroccan feel with some lovely art work around the property. It felt very clean and homely. You have everything you need, from plenty of cutlery/plates/glasses etc. well enough for a large family. I love that they provided plenty of plastic plates/cups and cutlery for children. There was a fantastic BBQ which we used regularly with a great dining area where you can dine outside while admiring the views. The Pictures on here do not do it justice, it is stunning!. The outdoor gardens are immaculate. Pool is fabulous for all the family to enjoy, it is cold but like a warm bath once you have jumped in, you will appreciate the cool water in 38 degrees heat! :-) all in all this was a fab villa with everything you need. Annabella who looked after us and the house was so lovely and helpful. she recommended places to go and visit, so thank you for your lovely hospitality. Casa Blanca is central to the Algarve so it is in a perfect location only 40 mins drive from Faro Airport. We visited the charming fishing town of Tavira (50 minuets East) and the lovely town of Sagres which was situated on the Southwest tip of the Algarve. While in Sagres a must for sea food lovers is the 'A Sereia' restaurant, food was amazing! I do have just a few things to mention that could be improved but by no means spoilt our visit. There is no Air-con. We did not realise this as nothing was mentioned on the listing, I do think with the Portuguese heat this should be highlighted in the listing as it can get very warm. Also there was only 2 fans provided (which were a little rusty and dated). In a 4 bedroom villa there should be at least 4 fans provided for each room, I do think this is essential for the hotter months of July and August. lastly, not enough pillows provided. I personally like a high pillow, and unfortunately the pillows were all very flat & had seen better days, I personally did not sleep very well. Some nice new plump pillows would go down a treat. Thank you for an amazing stay...5 star villa! highly recommend :-)

Magnifique maison avec grande piscine et jardin splendide
Cadre idyllique, très grande maison avec une réelle âme. Piscine chauffée à notre demande, nous avons pu nous baigner tous les jours alors que nous étions en Avril. Maison très bien entretenue, belle vue mer. Jardin avec des arbres magnifiques, quartier tranquille, idéal pour les départs de randonnée ou le jogging ! La semaine est passée trop vite, nous y retournerons certainement ! Vielen Dank Anabela und Herr Ropelius!

Bardzo wygodny i funkcjonalny dom. Dobrze wyposażony. Cała posesja duża i dobrze zoorganizowana. Nikt nikomu nie przeszkadza, można odpocząć od towarzystwa. Duży basen i ogród. Fajna lokalizacja. Z dala od zgiełku popularnych miejsc ale jednocześnie blisko wszystkiego co warto zobaczyć. Wybitnie korzystny stosunek ceny do jakości.

Magnifique villa avec belle vue mer
Nous avons séjourné 9 jours dans cette belle villa (4 adultes et 4 enfants de 10 à 13 ans). Nous avons adoré la déco et les espaces extérieurs. Tout y est : la grande piscine, la belle vue sur la mer, la pelouse, le barbecue, l'espace détente et le coin repas sous la terrasse couverte. La cuisine s'ouvre sur la terrasse et on y trouve tout le nécessaire. Le patio devant l'entrée de la maison est splendide. Cette maison paisible offre tout ce qu'il faut pour la détente et pour passer des vacances inoubliables. Elle est proche de la plage Marinha, des grottes de Benagil et d'Agar Seco. Le village de Carvoeiro est très beau.

Sometimes places aren't as nice in reality as they are online. Casa Blanca is exactly as the site represents. We had a great family vacation there and would absolutely recommend it to anyone. Great house, great location. You will want a rental car for sure.

" Em casa, fora de casa..."
A nossa experiência foi extraordinária! O espaço exterior da casa é lindo, a vista para o mar inesquecível e todo o espaço tem características muito particulares que tornam o ambiente único, memorável e especial.
A Sr. D. Anabela ( responsável pela propriedade) foi sempre muito atenciosa e prestável, tendo contribuído sempre para que tudo corresse bem.
Será, sem qualquer dúvida, uma experiência a repetir, se possível. Obrigada!

Great experience
First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Philipp Ropelius and the people that take care of the property and whom we met. All contacts (email, phone or in person) were easy, efficient and dealt in a very pleasant and professional way.
Regarding the stay in Casa Blanca, I can say that the property (house and exterior) is very good, beautiful, with lots of space and with a great view. It welcomes a person to enjoy moments of rest or fun, alone or accompanied. The area where the property is located is very calm and with a good distance from the nearby houses. Any common need (food, newspapers, gas, etc.) can easily met with a quick trip to the closest town.
Also, as we had children with us, space, good conditions and items such as high chairs and kids’ beds were obvious requirements and I must say that all of them were met.
In short, the stay in Casa Blanca was a wonderful experience and I hope we may enjoy it, once again, in the future.
Thank you.

Opinião de cliente pela primeira vez na propriedade
Em termos gerais a propriedade é incrível. Tem tudo o que é necessário para passar umas boas férias inclusivé com crianças. Boa piscina, bom espaço, boa região e vizinhança calma.
A única coisa que, na minha opinião foi negativa, foi a abordagem da responsável pela propriedade, a Sra. Anabela Correia.
A mesma tomou a iniciativa de aparecer na propriedade, com aviso prévio, a meio da minha semana de férias a qual era compartilhada com mais 7 amigos. O que me deixou a mim e aos meus amigos pouco à vontade e um pouco aborrecidos foi a abordagem da Sra. Anabela que, de certa forma, nos tratou como uns adolescentes e nos "ameaçou" caso estivessem mais de 8 pessoas dentro da casa. Não foi uma abordagem agressiva de todo mas foi um pouco cínica na forma como comentou a desconfiança que tinha em relação ao grupo que lá estava. Foi algo muito desconfortável que tenho plena noção que não aconteceria se lá estivessem 2 casais com crianças. Independentemente disso, nós somos clientes da casa e alugámos a mesma cientes das regras que nos foram comunicadas pelo proprietário (e não pela representante). Por isso não gostámos nada da desconfiança que surgiu na primeira abordagem que teve connosco (e que de certa forma se manteve até abandonarmos a propriedade)
Resumindo e concluindo, gostámos muito do espaço no qual investimos para as nossas férias, no entanto estamos um pouco reticentes se voltaremos a contactar a mesma empresa, pois não gostámos da forma como é representada.
Obrigado,

Tolles Haus in einer tollen Umgebung
Wir waren überwältigt davon, dass das Haus noch schöner war, als wir es uns vorgestellt hatten. Natürlich gibt es immer den einen oder anderen kleinen Kritikpunkt, doch das tat hier wenig zur Sache. Der Garten ist schön angelegt und das Haus sehr liebevoll gestaltet. Hier lässt es sich auch gut bei voller Auslastung aushalten! Wirklich sehr empfehlenswert.

Idyllic villa in superb location with beautiful grounds and fabulous swimming pool. The villa has everything you could possibly require in terms of equipment and a bathroom for each room so no waiting for a shower. The outside covered eating area is perfect for meals and has wonderful views of the garden, pool and sea. Stunning.

een ideaal huis!
Wij hebben een heerlijke vakantie week gehad in "Casa Blanca".
Het huis is zeer ruim opgezet en van alle gemakken voorzien; een keuken met alle mogelijkheden om de lekkerste maaltijden te bereiden-, er is een wasmachine én droger beschikbaar-, de grote tuin en het zwembad zijn fantastisch-en de ligging van het huis is heerlijk rustig!
Met 6 volwassenen en 1 kleindochter, had iedereen een ruime slaapkamer mét eigen badkamer. De ligging van de kamers is zo verdeeld dat iedereen een 'eigen plekje' heeft in het huis zonder 'gestoord' te worden door de anderen.
Met de auto ben je in 5 minuten bij het mooiste strand van de Algarve (lopend kan natuurlijk ook ;) vanaf Marinha beach kun je hele mooie kustwandelingen maken en de locatie van het huis is ook heel 'strategisch' om uitstapjes te maken (bv naar Silves, Lagos, Sagres etc).
Grote supermarkten zijn op 10 minuten afstand goed bereikbaar met de auto en de keuken heeft een goede koelkast met vriezer waardoor je makkelijk inkopen kunt doen voor meerdere dagen.
Kortom wíj vonden dit een ideaal familie huis!
