About this property

Stunning Farmhouse With Private Gated Pool & Outstanding Sea and Beach Views

Casa do Grego has glorious sea views and stands alone in an unspoilt area of outstanding natural beauty. It is set back from a cliff-top with uninterrupted views down to the Sao Rafael beaches overlooking fig and olive trees and many mature mimosas and umbrella pines. The Grego is a 5 bedroom converted 160 year old farmhouse but has been sympathetically modernised to retain many of its original features including its bread oven, cisterna and water catchment area. It is a family home with a well-equipped modern kitchen, TV, WiFi, DVD player, outside terraces, barbecue and a gated heated 9x4m swimming pool with gentle graduated steps. Casa do Grego is within easy walking distance of the beaches of Sao Rafael with impressive beach cafes, the new prize-winning marina of Albufeira and many excellent restaurants. Albufeira is located in the central Algarve and is close to several golf courses, a riding school, slide and splashes and Zoomarine - well worth a visit with or without children. The farmhouse is built along traditional lines with walls nearly 1 metre thick in places, mainly stone tiles on the floors and air vents through the roof in various places. The combination of these features and the regular on-shore sea breeze mean that it is rarely too hot. There is, however, a fan in each bedroom just in case the wind drops at night - a rare occurrence.

Great place for a large group!
We had a fantastic time as a family at this property. It's an old-style farmhouse building - so don't expect pristine condition. But, everything was clean/tidy, and the kitchen had all you needed to cook/BBQ. The house is up a reasonably steep hill so we would recommend a car if you have people in your group that struggle to walk. Be prepared to walk longer distances to reach places (30+ mins) or drive short journeys (5mins). Very close to Albufeira marina (down the hill) and in easy reach of Albufeira old town by car/longer walk. The pool was great! Overall excellent value for money.

Family holiday with an opportunity to catch up after Covid restrictions
The property provided a lovely base for our family to get together after such a long time. The villa had everything we needed and was ideal for young children. We had all our meals outside looking at the view and enjoyed spending time in the lovely pool which was safely behind a gated access point. We would recommend Caso do Greco to anyone.

Lovely well equipped villa, beautiful location
We stayed in this spacious villa with our children and grandchild. The annex was ideal for the couple with the baby. The kitchen is very well equipped. There are rooftop views of the beautiful local beaches which we walked to. The pool is great and the outdoor dining area is brilliant. A nice walk to the marina and lovely local seafood restaurant too. We would highly recommend this villa.

Wonderful Place to get relaxed with family or friends.
After an initial checkin problem, there was a quick property reaction and everything was solved as wished. Location perfect, Sao Raphael Beach 10 minutes walk, as well as the Marina. House in classic furniture style, has everything, big equiped kitchen (for 11 people), nice Grill at the pool, at night you can delight full stars sky view, no neighbours or annoying sounds. We didn't asked for Pool Heating and it was not neceessary because of weather in august. A nice breeze runs in the afternoons at the garden, so you feel very comfortable until night comes while having dinner.

Lovely traditional villa
Great villa in a lovely location. We loved being able to walk to the pretty local beach and to the marina as well. The villa had everything we needed and any issues were quickly dealt with by the local contact. We hope to back again!

Wonderful Family Holiday
I am so glad we chose to stay at Casa do Greco for our family holiday. A traditional farmhouse full of character, very well equipped and a great pool. Situated in the countryside with marvellous views. An easy walk to the beach, Marina, or Albufeira town but as the house was so lovely we were happy to spend most afternoons around the pool.

Superb location and an excellent place to stay!
Can't recommend this property too highly. Whilst close to Albufeira, it is still in a rural location with no immediate neighbours. The pool is a delight and well maintained. There are also several very attractive beaches within easy walking distance. The farmhouse itself is spacious and very well equipped .It is decorated in a attractive, traditional style and was a very comfortable place to live in. We had everything we could ask for at Caso Do Grego and were very sad to leave. Will be rebooking!

Vacances superbes en famille ; maison très agréables, extérieur bien aménagé avec piscine sécurisée pour nos petits enfants ; bien placée pour visiter les sites pittoresques de l'Algarve et accéder aux plages. Très ensoleillé pendant notre séjour. Je conseille cette maison

Bon séjour dans l'ensemble
L’emplacement est très bien situé (plages et routes), la maison est spacieuse et bien agencée, sans vis à vis. Les chambres sont de belle taille et la cuisine est très bien équipée. Pauline, la manager a toujours été disponible au moindre soucis. Il y a cependant des points faibles que nous devons mentionner ; linge de lit usé (délavé et abîmé), oreillers trop fins, serviettes de toilette rêches, trouées et sentant le renfermé. Les transats de piscines sont anciens et mériteraient d’être changés (déformés, inconfortables, odeur de moisi). Nous avons dû faire changer les parasols de piscine durant le séjour (un était cassé depuis le début et l’autre était en mauvais état). Les chaises extérieures sont de mauvaise qualité et instables.Grosses tâches et usures sur les matelas de banc extérieur. Il a été très difficile de dormir, spécifiquement pour les enfants en bas âge. Les chambres sont dotées de ventilateurs, qui eux aussi mériteraient d’être changés (bruyants, grinçants) et qui n’ont fait que brasser de l’air chaud. Il conviendrait d’équiper la maison au minimum avec des climatiseurs mobiles dans les chambres. L’eau de la piscine a été trouble durant toute la durée de notre séjour. EN CONCLUSION: La maison est agréable et sa situation géographique est parfaite mais nous avons été déçus de la qualité du matériel sur place au regard du prix du séjour. Il n'est pourtant pas cher de procéder à ces simples ajustements, c'est dommage.
