Home description
Casa Boa Sorte is a beautifully spacious air conditioned villa nestling in the tranquil hillside of Mesquita. It has a large private heated salt water pool which is not over looked and enjoys panoramic views across the valley and distant sea views. Just 1km from the villa lies the delightfully unspoilt town of Sao Bras with its restaurants, shops, banks and smart pavement cafe's. The local speciality, homemade chicken pies, are simply divine!
An easy 20 minute drive will take you to the coast, golf courses and Faro airport. In fact the location couldn't be better for experiencing the best the Algarve has to offer. In fact, don't just think of the Algarve for your summer holidays, the weather is great in April (my favourite month because of the abundance of beautiful spring flowers) October and Christmas time too. With the benefit of the heated pool, why not take a well earned break out of peak season - we're sure you'll be pleasantly surprised!

The Algarve region
The region experiences hot summers and mild winters, rich in history with an abundance of forts and castles to explore. Great beaches and a fantastic climate allow you to do as much or as little as so desire.
Take a visit along the picturesque coastline to the historic Castro Marim where you will find amazing panoramic views of the sea. Travelling west the rocks, white cliffs and sandy beaches are again beautifully pictureque.
The unspoilt Eastern Coast is breathtaking and inland there are forests, the Monchique mountains where at 'Caldos do Monchique' there is a natural spring purported to have healing waters, where people for centuries have travelled to from all over the world to drink it's waters and be cured of their ailments. These and many other activities from water parks, zoomarine, to nature trails and historic sites there is something for all the family . The river Guardiana meanders and where it meets the mouth of the atlantic separates Portugal from Spain, which is accessed via the Guardiana Bridge where from the villa is only a 30 minute journey. 'Ayamonte' is the first Spanish town you come accross on crossing the Guardiana Bridge and a further hour and a half will take you to 'Seville'. The motorways( (A22, IP1 & EN125) are all well sign posted in both Portugal and Spain, Sao Bras de Alportel is a well known town and sign posted everywhere.
Casa Boa Sorte is therefore exceptionally located for access to both the historical sites, beaches, golf courses and travelling both to central costal (Quinta Do Lago/Vale Do Lobo/Vilamoura resorts) and the beautiful quiet beaches of the Eastern Algarve. The stunning wildlife of the Ria Formosa which is protected habitat is again on your doorstep. What more from a holiday could you possibly ask for, not forgetting Portugals great culinary cuisine (fresh sea food especially).
