Wow, that was our first impression when we first drove into the grounds of Villa Casa Blanca. large gardens, beautifully landscaped with stunning palm trees, massive pool, stunning views of the sea and cozy seating / dining area. It was perfect! The villa was very spacious for a family of 8 (5 adults & 3 children age 5, 9 & 10. There was ample storage. The bathrooms were very spacious, 2 of which had a bath and stand in showers. The Villa had a lovely Moroccan feel with some lovely art work around the property. It felt very clean and homely. You have everything you need, from plenty of cutlery/plates/glasses etc. well enough for a large family. I love that they provided plenty of plastic plates/cups and cutlery for children. There was a fantastic BBQ which we used regularly with a great dining area where you can dine outside while admiring the views. The Pictures on here do not do it justice, it is stunning!. The outdoor gardens are immaculate. Pool is fabulous for all the family to enjoy, it is cold but like a warm bath once you have jumped in, you will appreciate the cool water in 38 degrees heat! :-) all in all this was a fab villa with everything you need. Annabella who looked after us and the house was so lovely and helpful. she recommended places to go and visit, so thank you for your lovely hospitality. Casa Blanca is central to the Algarve so it is in a perfect location only 40 mins drive from Faro Airport. We visited the charming fishing town of Tavira (50 minuets East) and the lovely town of Sagres which was situated on the Southwest tip of the Algarve. While in Sagres a must for sea food lovers is the 'A Sereia' restaurant, food was amazing! I do have just a few things to mention that could be improved but by no means spoilt our visit. There is no Air-con. We did not realise this as nothing was mentioned on the listing, I do think with the Portuguese heat this should be highlighted in the listing as it can get very warm. Also there was only 2 fans provided (which were a little rusty and dated). In a 4 bedroom villa there should be at least 4 fans provided for each room, I do think this is essential for the hotter months of July and August. lastly, not enough pillows provided. I personally like a high pillow, and unfortunately the pillows were all very flat & had seen better days, I personally did not sleep very well. Some nice new plump pillows would go down a treat. Thank you for an amazing stay...5 star villa! highly recommend :-)
