Home description
Casa Atlantico is located on the headland next to the quiet fishing village of Benagil between the beautiful world renowned beaches of Benagil and Carvalho. It is a newly built terraced villa in a unique and unspoilt location on the Algarve.
The house has wonderful panoramic views of the Atlantic and nature reserve from three levels; the garden and patio on ground floor, the balcony on first floor and spacious roof terrace. The aspect towards the south and the south west affords truly stunning sunsets. Guests are also able to enjoy spectacular views from the communal pool which is secluded but with a panoramic ocean view- even when swimming!
As well as being a stone’s throw from two golden sandy beaches, golf enthusiasts will enjoy Val de Milho, an established 9 hole, par 3 course which is only 5 minutes away. The Quinta do Gramacho golf course and Val da Pinta, where you will find the David Leadbetter Golf Academy, are within a ten minute drive.
Other local entertainment is available at Aqualand and Slide and Splash water parks and pony trekking and cycle hire can also be enjoyed. The fishermen of Benagil also offer sightseeing boat trips along the coast between Carvoiero and Armacao de Pera to visit enchanting caves and grottoes. Benagil village boasts 5 restaurants which serve the local catch, all in walking distance, most with spectacular views.

The Algarve / Central Algarve region
The Algarve has a Mediterranean climate with hot dry sunny summers and warm mild winters. Spring and autumn are also sunny with cooler evenings. It enjoys over 300 sunshine days a year. In the winter the days are sunny and cooler. One of the delights of the Algarve and the immediate coast at Benagil is that the sea breeze is refreshing in the hot summer. The weather is rarely grey, if there is a shower then it passes quickly and the sun soon emerges again. The light is superb, reflecting off the sea, cliffs and beaches, it is uplifting at all times of the year. The house, as well as having superb sea and natural parkland views, also has wonderful dizzying sunsets.
The Algarve offers a wide range of entertainment and activities with something to suit everyone. From Casa Atlantico it is possible to walk along the Coastal path west to Praia de Rocha or East to Armacao de Pera. You will see spectacular cliffs and golden beaches, watch the fishing and yachting vessels, see the birds circling, smell the perfumed Mediterranean vegetation and visit the old churches like Senora da Rocha, and other landmarks along the way. Some beaches are unique as they are accessible only from the sea; others such as the unspoilt beaches of Praia de Marinha, Praia de Barraquinho and Praia da Albandeira can be approached by almost hidden pathways and are never very crowded. As well as walking there are opportunities for fishing, golf, scuba diving, parasurfing, sailing, horse-riding and photography.
Further inland the villages of Porches, Pera, and Ferragudo maintain their old world charm with local crafts such as pottery and ceramics being widely available. The fascinating Moorish castle at Silves and markets at Lagoa and Carvoiera are also worth a visit a sit the mountain area on Monchique with its spas and copper crafts. Larger settlements like Vilamoura, Faro, Armacao, Portimao and Lagos are no more than 30 minutes away with their bustling old quarters, markets, lively squares and restaurants and cafes. There is much of historic interest to explore. For those seeking even further adventure, Lisbon and Seville are no more that two and a half hours way by motorway and there are many organised one, two or three day visits to these place as well as to Morocco. There is information in the villa about such trips.

Further inland the villages of Porches, Pera, and Ferragudo maintain their old world charm with local crafts such as pottery and ceramics being widely available.
