Casa Sargocal
- Type: Villa
- Sleeps: 12 (6 Bedrooms)
- Change Over Day: Flexible
- Access: Car Essential
It is situated on a South facing slope of the range of hills lying slightly inland from the coast. The location is quiet, peaceful and rural (but not isolated; there are other villas in the vicinity, the nearest being about 250m away on the other side of the road) and has been declared a conservation area. A detailed location map is available here. Manuel's Bar is a short walk from the villa.
There are views of the coast which is about 20 minutes drive away. The villa lies directly inland from the Quinta do Lago to Vilamoura stretch of the Algarvian coast which has many sandy beaches, golf courses and numerous entertainments of every description.
Loule is the principal market town of the Algarve which has recently undergone considerable modernisation. It has, however, retained its charm and now benefits from supermarkets, banks, shops and restaurants. The covered market selling local produce, particularly fresh fish, meat and vegetables, is a must. It is open 6 days a week but is especially busy on a Saturday.
The villa is handily placed for accessing the motorway at either Loule or Boliqueime and from there Seville can be reached in an hour and a half, Lisbon in about three hours and Cape St Vincent and the West coast, with its fabulous surfing beaches, in an hour. Albufeirra, Portimao, Lagoa, the pine forested Monchique and Faro itself are all within easy reach.
The Villa is arranged on 3 levels which each have generous terracing facing South to the coast. On the lower level is the swimming pool measuring 10 x 5m. It is about 1.2m deep at the shallow end and 3.5m deep at the deep end. There are steps in one corner of the shallow end. It has underwater lighting. The pool is surrounded by ample terracing for sunbathers.
Ascending by steps to ground floor level there is then a wide main terrace with an outside table and umbrella, seating 12. There is some shade here from the overhanging balcony above. There are wrought iron railings guarding the drop from this terrace to the lower swimming pool terrace. There is a selection of canvas and fibre glass recliners.

The Algarve Region
The Algarve is renowned for its warm climate and clean sandy beaches. The climate is similar to that of the Mediterranean with over 300 days of sunshine a year, although the sea – being the Atlantic – is generally a little cooler, but cleaner. Most of the rainfall is in the Winter months and the temperatures throughout the year are significantly higher than in Northern Europe and other Northern countries. The Summers boast long sunny days with temperatures in the 30sC/90sF, it seldom rains and Quinta da Eira, at an elevation of about 1,000 feet, usually has a pleasant breeze even in the hottest months.
The long beautiful coastline has amazing beaches of fine sand which are seldom over crowded and there are many delightful rocky coves as well, all of which are worth visiting. There is also a fascinating hinterland of hills and forests, villages and farms, castles and churches to visit.
The Algarve has some of the very best Golf Courses in the world. The nearest courses at Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura, which also have Tennis Courts, are all within a 30min drive of the House. There are also some excellent Water Parks and Theme Parks like Zoomarine offer the possibility of watching and swimming with dolphins. Crazy World is a Zoo Park where you can see different kinds of animals. For those looking for local pottery, linen, clothes or leather goods, which are generally good value in Portugal, a wide variety can be found and the new Shopping Malls in Faro and Guia are well worth visiting.
