Casa Garonga
About the home
Our villa is perfect for discerning families and friends looking for an extremely private luxurious holiday, in a modern extremely well equipped 5 star villa. The property took 2 years to build to our design and we have been adding the finishing touches since it's completion in December of 2007. The villa is very much our home from home with all the mod cons you would expect and due to business travel commitments throughout 2011 we have decided to make our beautiful property available for holiday lettings.
Nestled in the hilltops over looking Loule the villa benefits from professionally landscaped & well maintained grounds and a large heated pool. The formal gardens lead down the hill to a completely secure wire fenced area of over 2 acres of fruit trees and scrub. The property offers quiet seclusion in complete luxury surroundings with large gardens boasting 180 degree sea views and incredible sunsets; the perfect setting to escape to and indulge yourself, your family and friends.
The property consists of 4 very large and airy bedrooms all with separate dressing areas, en-suite bathrooms and private balconies on the 1st floor and direct access to the pool terrace on the ground floor.

BookThe Algarve / Central Algarve region
The Algarve is the most popular holiday destination within Portugal. It has a wonderful climate, with pretty much year round sunshine although winter temperatures are lower (normally around 17 - 20 degrees centigrade). The area has many beautiful beaches, towns and places of historical interest. The beautiful mountains of Monchique are also well worth a visit. The vibrant city of Lisbon is around two and a half hours drive away. The food is great, as are the people. There is alot to do with many international standard golf courses, fishing, dolphin safaris, water sports, horse riding, hiking, water parks, a zoo etc etc etc.
The Loule / Sao Clemente area
Casa Garonga is only 25 minutes from Faro airport and the beautiful beaches of the Algarve are only 15 minutes drive. There are excellent restaurants nearby with plenty of other eateries in Loule which is only 5 minutes drive.

We stayed here in Mid September with my wife, two small children and retired parents. We were met nearby to the villa by a friendly English speaking contact who led us to the villa and showed us all the facilites. Accomodation: The first impression when driving in is wow. The exterior and interior finish is of the highest standards, with modern appliances and user friendly controls for air con, wifi etc. Two large bedrooms upstairs, one with 3 single beds (perfect for the kids) with an ensuite and a master bedroom with a stunning Jacuzzi bath, shower and ensuite. Both have breathtaking views to the sea in the horizon. Downstairs two further very large double bedrooms with ensuites one with a shower/bath and the other with another jacuzzi bath. The main lounge is spacious with comfortble sofas, Sky TV and sliding doors with views to the pool and seav view. Separate dining room with seating for 8 and large kitchen with all mod cons etc. Outside: Ther are plenty of loungers, kids buckets/inflatables, two dining tables and most importantly a large gas barbecue that we used every day to cook dinner. The pool was of a good size. You definately need a hire car to get around, we used the guide that was in the appartment to find beaches etc and 'Trafal' beach was by far the best beach we have been to for a long time. It was mainly occupied by locals and expats and as such it was very quiet with great facilites. Probably a 20 minute drive away so not too bad. There were several supermarkets nearby, about a 7-10 minute drive to the local town of Loule. If you want complete privacy and are happy to self cater then this is by far a brilliant place to holiday. Get your shopping done every few days then sit back and relax. The town is close enough to go out for dinner (although we didn't) and the beaches aren't that far. There is also a very large Aqua park nearby if you fancy something different. It took us approximately 25 minutes from Faro airport so a very easy drive. This is the perfect place to get away from everything. The owner was brilliant to deal with and nothing was too much trouble for her. Thank you Kate. |

We booked this Villa at short notice as it looked very nice on-line. The reviews and pictures are a true reflection. Casa Garonga is owned by a UK family and is extremely well kitted out and... more Response: Thank you for your wonderful review. I am really pleased that you had such a great time and that the villa and facilities lived up to your expectations. I just wanted to apologise for the fact... more |

Casa Garonga is an amazing villa set in a fantastic position looking out towards the sea. Close to all amenities yet set in a secluded position. The villa itself is decorated to a high standard with everything you could wish for, we made good use of the pool which was great to have the option of heating it. Overall we had a fantastic time and would love to go back. |
