Escape & Unwind in Elegance with Large Private Pool & Amazing Views (Free Wi-Fi)

This well designed, air-conditioned, villa has enough space for up to 6 guests to spread out comfortably throughout an impressive 2,750 square feet of living space, making it the ideal accommodation choice for a family, a group of friends, couples and retirees looking for the ultimate holiday experience.

You’ll feel right at home the moment you step inside the villas beautiful interior, boasting extravagant furniture and fittings. Massive windows, with electric shutters, throughout the property frame expansive views of the surrounding countryside.

This welcoming villa has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay, including high speed wireless internet access plus 4 flat screen Smart TVs and DVD players – sure to appease all your entertainment needs during your holiday.

The large pool terrace, bathed in sunshine all day during the summer months, is very private and enjoys magnificent hillside and distant sea views, creating a dazzling backdrop for your trip.

Imagine yourself soaking up the Algarve sunshine on the large pool terrace; you pick up a glass of your favourite drink and gaze over the wonderful countryside and distant sea views, then notice the only thing you can hear are birds and cicadas. At that moment you step into the large crystal clear pool for a refreshing dip and discover that feeling of peace and tranquillity. Finally; you have escaped modern life and feel relaxed and revitalised.

Quinta Fonte do Cascalho is set in 2 acres of gated grounds amid the tranquil Algarve hills; just 20 minutes north of Faro airport and on the edge of the Portuguese town of Sao Bras de Alportel; full of traditional charm with many street cafes, restaurants, banks, tourist office, shops and supermarkets. Restaurant and bar prices are more to the locals liking rather than the inflated rates in tourist resorts.

This is an ideal location for people who want to get away from it all and enjoy a relaxing holiday in privacy yet the beautiful beaches of the Algarve are just a short distance by car, plus having easy access to all the holiday attractions the Algarve can offer.


This modern, fully air-conditioned, country house is finished to very high standards for comfort and entertainment.

The large entertainment area has a generous dining table with capacity for 8 people; and the spacious lounge has a leather 3 seat sofa with two leather recliner chairs; perfect for watching a film or your favourite program on the large Smart TV with surround sound. This area also contains the central WiFi hub with your own personal and private network for high speed internet access. For the cooler months of the year, there is a cosy log fire in the lounge and air-conditioning provides heat throughout the rest of the villa.

The modern farmhouse kitchen, fitted with granite worktops and large AGA range cooker, has all the utensils and equipment you will need for the preparation of meals. There is a large brick-built charcoal BBQ adjacent to the kitchen, for cooking during those lovely balmy Algarve evenings.

In addition to the dining table in the villa, food can be enjoyed alfresco on the upper BBQ terrace table with seating for 8. There is also seating on the lower pool terrace where you can enjoy a drink and nibbles at the end of the day and reflect on what you have; or have not done.

If dining out is your desire; there are many fine dining and casual restaurants providing traditional or international cuisine throughout the immediate area.

The master suite, with own private terrace, occupies the entire first floor of the villa and provides ‘360 degree’ panoramic views. It has a king size ‘Duxiana’ bed, with multi-positioned headboard; a full entertainment system comprising 32” flat screen Smart TV. There is also a trouser press and personal safe. The en-suite bathroom has a large corner temperature controlled spa/whirlpool bath with four preset programs to suit your mood, plus lighting if desired.

The other two bedrooms have large handmade ‘Millbrook’ pocket sprung beds and individual entertainment systems of Smart TV and DVD players. Bedroom 2, which benefits from an additional private entrance, is also equipped with a trouser press and personal safe. The other bathrooms are also fitted with temperature controlled spa/whirlpool baths with four preset programs, plus lighting.

The colour scheme and furniture, for the entertainment area and kitchen, has been specifically selected to provide that feeling of coolness and comfort during the long warm summers enjoyed in the Algarve. It also provides a feeling of warmth and comfort during the few cooler months of the year. All of the windows and patio doors are fitted with electric shutters to tone down the glare if needed or provide that extra seclusion if desired.

With all of the home comforts and facilities, it is time to ‘Escape and Unwind in Elegance’.

Well kitted out!

Very Nice place and was nice location. We normally have complete privacy altogether, but did not realise that owners were living on site as well so did not feel very comfortable. Also something needs to be done towards the entrance of the property, as the gravel we did not navigate that well to get through the gates!!! maybe just us. Gardener was needed, lots of leaves in and around pool. Not keen on cats (allergies) and there are 4 roaming on site. sorry for nagativity but had to be honest.

A Perfect Retreat

Our stay at this stunning Algarve villa was truly unforgettable. The elegant, spacious home with breathtaking views offered complete privacy and tranquility—perfect for relaxation. Beautifully designed, it features an open-plan living area, modern kitchen, large terrace, and an impressive private pool with panoramic views. The bedrooms, especially the master suite with its whirlpool bath and 360-degree views, were exceptionally comfortable. Ideally located—peaceful yet close to beaches and charming towns like Tavira and Olhao. Hosts Tina and Barry were warm and helpful. We can’t wait to return!

Wonderful Hosts

The villa has a wonderful view of the valley, a fully equipped kitchen and outstanding pool in a peaceful rural location. Tina and Barry went to great lengths to make our stay as comfortable as possible and were always available and closeby. We found it took 30-45 minutes to the beach and be prepared for a steep, gravel driveway.

Delightful villa in a great location

Lovely villa - indoors and outdoors. Barry and Tina were very welcoming and helpful. Villa is so handy for Sao Bras de Aportel and Tavira. Would recommend a visit to Tavira Island. We used the recommended Amoita car hire company and had absolutely no complaints about car or staff. Hope to return in the not too distant future (-:

A perfect location for a beautiful holiday

What a fabulous villa. You read all the reviews and hope the reality matches. This villa beats it. Everything you read is accurate. From the lovely welcome from Christina and Barry to the cleanliness to the beautiful pool. It is the perfect location for any type of holiday. Lying by the pool to going to the beach or sightseeing in the hills, everything is within easy travelling distance. We would suggest a car is a must have. One word of warning, when you first arrive the steep drive is a bit daunting especially with a full car 😁 This is a perfect villa in a lovely location.

Outstanding Experience

First visit to Algarve, and this property absolutely made our stay simply brilliant, hosts Barry and Tina incredibly hospitable. The home has everything, I mean everything you require and then some. Kitchen is a chef's dream and the modern grocery store 3 KM's away has all you need. Lunches at Algarve restaurants are legendary, Tavira has a great spot - Mares - and the value for money off the charts. Place is as quiet as the night, bedding excellent and Roku TV's have excellent movie apps loaded for your enjoyment. Never used the pool, turned cool during our stay. You'll have to search hard to find any better VRBO country villa, driving in Portugal painless. Thanks again to Barry and Tina for a truly memorable experience.

We had such a lovely time at Barry and Tina's wonderful villa We have never stayed at a villa with such level of comfort from the sunbeds to the beds! The kitchen was so well equipped with everythng you could need although we only had one bbq if you wanted to cook at the villa every appliance was available The pool and patio area were top notch and it was wonderful to watch the swifts dip in and out of the pool to cool off The view over the valley was simply breathtaking and the best outlook you could wish for Barry and Tina were wonderful hosts and very friendly and having them live on site (albeit very discreet) was not a problem and if anything was quite a comfort if needed We hope to be back next year and would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday in a beautiful area

Beautiful Villa ~ Wonderful Hosts

We received a very warm welcome from our hosts when we arrived. The Villa is beautiful, spotlessly clean & had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. Hollwood Bedroom & En-suite was sumptuous with a large extremely comfortable bed. To have a private entrance onto the terrace is also great. Our stay at this beautiful Villa in early May was wonderful, the weather was hot enough to have several swims in the generous sized Pool. The views down the Valley & terraces are magnificent. We also saw some beautiful birds in and over the Valley. The whole Villa was absolutely lovely ~ the Hosts charming ~ We will definitely be going back again next year.

Brilliant time away

We spent 10 nights in this beautiful villa, we was given a very warm welcome and a tour of the villa. Everything you could possibly need or even want was available in the villa from every kitchen utensil or gadget to beech towels and even access to Netflix and Disney which was ideal for our 2 small children. Any questions or issues were dealt with in a timely manner. The location was lovely and away from any busy areas I would recommend having a vehicle however as the town was a long walk, but perfectly doable. The views around were second to none and with very little light pollution it was the perfect location for an evening under the stairs enjoying a cheeky drink or 2.

One of the nicest places we stayed in

Barry and Tina have a beautiful place, well maintained, well stocked with every day items except food of course and it has a spectacular view. They were extremely helpfull in arranging transportation for us from the train to their location and were always easy to contact and quick to respond. We had my son and his family with us (grand kids 5 and 8) who loved the place. My son is an avid cook and fell in love with the large and well equipped kitchen. The grandkids had lots of room both inside and out to play and was a great way for them to adjust after the long trip from Canada. As well they had lots of sele tion on their smart tv's to keep everyone including the grandkids entertained in the evening. Overall I would highly recommend Barry and Tinas villa to anyone who wants a beautiful quiet place outside of a busy city.

Impeccably clean and well equipped.

The property is spotlessly clean throughout with exceptionally comfortable outdoor furniture for both poolside lounging and dining. The kitchen has every convenience and appliance from a plentiful supply of glassware, cookware and utensils to a pasta maker. In my opinion, it is doubtful you would find more convenient and comfortable accommodations anywhere. In addition, proximity to many day-trip destinations provides for an easy manner in which to fill your itinerary. Do not forget to ask your host about the outstanding Ysconderijo! it would be very difficult (perhaps even unreasonable) to be critical of this home and hosts.

Villa Cascalho 2009

Tina and Barry, you are rightfully proud of your lovely villa. It's a real escape. The luxurious, spacious interior and air-con throughout meant we lived in absolute comfort. Barry, we know the pool is your pride and joy and who can blame you. We spent hours each day in lovely crisp,clear blue water. The magnificant views overlooking miles and miles of uninterrupted hillside and clear blue skies made us feel like Lords of the manor. When we didn't eat in including a lovely evening barbecue we had plenty of quality choice within a few miles.Thanks and see you again soon, Martyn,Gaynor,Nathan and Glen.

Beautiful villa in the Algarve Hills

Everything about this Villa from the moment you arrive and meet the owners (Barry and Tina) is just superb. Have never had such a warm welcome - Barry even went and got us pizzas and a few beers after we had been travelling all day. A beautiful villa with a stunning view and all the wildlife (birds,butterfiles,lizards etc) especially the swallows that make it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The villa is equipped with everything you need - especially in the kitchen.It was spotlessly clean with three good sized bedrooms - two with en suite and a newly furnished shower room.Lovely sized living room with great views over the valley. The pool is of a good size and very well designed with steps either end. The villa is approx 5min drive from two supermarkets Intermache and Lidl in the local town plus a superb restaurant Ysconderijo. A car is essential with a local car hire company Amoita - highly recommended. Would highly recommend this villa and will hopefully go back one day 10/10

Paradise!

What a stunning property this is. We have been renting villas in and around this area for almost 25 years and this is by far the best equipped and most well maintained property we have ever stayed in. We invariably spend the first few hours of our holiday complaining that "this doesn't work", "that's broken", "I can't get any wifi", "there are no hangers in the wardrobe", "there was supposed to be a DVD player" etc. etc. Not at Quinta Fonte do Cascalho, from the moment we walked in it was obvious that everything had been catered for and all to the highest possible standard. The house is generously proportioned with good sized rooms and a spectacular Master bedroom suite, air conditioned throughout and all spotlessly clean. The outside areas were also immaculate, the garden is very pretty and we particularly liked the large pool area and its incredible views across the countryside. Just stunning! The location is fantastic, it was lovely not to be overlooked or disturbed in any way. Aside from the occasional crow of a cockerel and the Cicadas it was absolute tranquility. As well as offering total peace and quiet we loved the fact that the house is only a few minutes drive from some excellent restaurants, well stocked supermarkets and other amenities. It also offers a great base for exploring locations further afield such as Faro, Tavira and Vilamoura etc. Tina and Barry were the perfect hosts and we literally wanted for nothing. We loved it and we will be back!

Serious safety concerns

We pointed out to the owner early in our stay that the drain cover on the floor of the swimming pool was completely detached exposing the outlet piping (just about the right size for a kids foot) together with a rusty bolt protruding from the pool floor. Despite our repeated requests, this had not been rectified by the time we left and the owner referred to these as minor issues. There was an electrical fire that burned out not only part of the fuse board, but also the television, two air conditioning units and multiple sockets. It was really unnerving to have to stay in this property after that with the acrid smell. Initially the owner was adamant it had been caused by a power surge and the fault of the electricity supplier, who actually attended when we were there. All conversations were in English, concluding no surge and that the problem had been caused by a poor standard of maintenance. The owner then advised us the problem had in fact been caused by his own electrical contractor who had conducted a safety check only the previous week, but had failed to reconnect the electrics properly. The remainder of our holiday was blighted by a combination of unease, a night with no air conditioning in one of the bedrooms, pretty poor mobile aircon units where emptying the condensation buckets became a nightly chore and putting up with lights turning on and off at night, unprompted, which did not help with sleeping. We also had to unplug the fridge freezer to use the washing machine (another socket burned out), which would lead to water leaking from the melting freezer (37c will do that). The fly screens had large tears which allowed cats (and flies of course) to come into the house via the damaged screens at multiple doors and windows. We advised the owner that, given our holiday experience had been materially affected by the fire, the multiple interruptions as they attended to it, together with having to bin all food in the fridge freezer, plus some of our electrics which were also irreparably damaged, we expected a partial refund. The owner proceeded to change his mind (again) on the cause of the fire, reverting to his original story that it had been caused by a surge from the electrical supply and as this was outside his control, he was not liable for our loss or spoiled holiday. Whether he was right on the cause of the fire the first time, the second time or the third time we regret staying here and could not recommend it.

Magnifique propriété remarquablement bien tenue

Nous tenons à remercier Tina et Barry pour leur accueil chaleureux (champagne dans le frigo), leur disponibilité et leur bonne humeur. Leur propriété est très bien entretenue et tout est fait pour que les locataires soient heureux ! Nous étions 6 adultes et nous avons passé 2 semaines fabuleuses dans la propriété luxueuse de Tina et Barry. Les équipements de cuisine sont de très bonne qualité et nous n'avons jamais eu autant d'ustensiles et d'appareils ménagers dans une location de vacances ! Les chambres très confortables sont bien équipées ainsi que les salles de bain, tout cela digne d'un hôtel de luxe. La climatisation dans toutes les chambres et le salon-séjour, a été très appréciée ainsi que les volets électriques et les moustiquaires à toutes les fenêtres de la maison. La piscine est très grande et l'accès par des marches de chaque côté est originale et appréciable. A noter que celle-ci n'est pas chauffée. L'eau peut être parfois un peu fraîche quand il fait du vent mais elle est délicieuse les jours de beau temps. Merci Tina et Barry pour ces vacances fabuleuses au Portugal. Amitiés de nous 6.

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Christina & Barry

Bild für Gastgeberprofil
During the 1980’s, Tina owned her own Holiday hotel in St Ives, Cornwall and had several enjoyable years looking after holiday clients whom many became returning guests. I, as an IT consultant for a global software company, spent most of my life in hotels on a business basis throughout the UK, Europe, USA and the Middle East and many of those hotels were of highest quality. While we were waiting for our house build to be completed in 2006, we spent a year living in the Algarve using ‘Time-shares’ and hotels. During this period of nomadic lifestyle, we noticed which environments and facilities were positive and which were negative for the travelling person and did not want to provide a sterile, minimalistic holiday rental. In 2007, based on our service industry experiences from both sides, we decided to make our unique home available to holidaymakers and have subsequently met some wonderful people, with many becoming very good friends. By living in the Algarve we are able to deal with all of our guests personally; from initial greeting to cleaning and maintenance, plus resolve the odd problem. Our objective is to ensure all our guests are completely comfortable and able to fully enjoy their holiday to the maximum. With this in mind, we are available 24/7 for you and with our knowledge of the Algarve and its lovely people, are able to suggest activities, places to visit and where to eat. If, on the odd occasion, there is a question or requirement that we cannot immediately answer or resolve, we will always do our utmost to find an answer or solution without spoiling your enjoyment. Furthermore, we continuously liaise with the local tourist office for the current and new attractions or activities available, throughout the Algarve.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

With the property located in the hilly part of Eastern Algarve, the views from the house are stunning and the sensation of total peace adds to the tranquillity of a great holiday home. From this location, there is easy access to all the attractions the Algarve can offer; making this the complete holiday package for a family, friend’s getaway, couples, retirees and discerning golfers. Unlike many holiday destination resorts, the ‘laid back’ town of Sao Bras de Alportel is open all year round, with many activities going on. The town is the crossroad of the routes linking Loulé to Tavira and Faro to Almodôver and is the hub of the area. The tranquil, unhurried lifestyle of the friendly local population makes this the perfect location for the unhurried lifestyle. That may explain the reason there are so many cafes and restaurants with tables outside where the locals while away the day. If you are in a rush this is not the place to live, as the local shopkeepers want to know how you and your family are whilst serving you.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

The area, in which we live, is a perfect environment for local wildlife and birds to which we have developed our bird-watching skills and love of nature. Based on this we are able to suggest other local areas for incredible bird-watching and sightseeing. The location provides easy access to all the areas that comprise the “Ria Formosa”, a natural reserve of outstanding beauty and one of the most amazing places of the Algarve. Additionally there is easy access to many excellent golf courses and through our local golfing contacts we are able to obtain excellent discounts on green fees and equipment hire.
