Casa Agostos Portugal

This modern home, near the small village Santa Barbara de Nexe, has been delightfully transformed from the inside out, showcasing a mix of new elements while paying homage to its traditional Algarvian roots. Ideal for a family villa holiday in Portugal, Casa Agostos can also be booked with its nearby sister property, Casa Luum, for a large group getaway in the heart of the idyllic Algarve countryside.
Casa Agostos has been designed by award-winning Lisbon-based architects, Pedro Domingos Arquitectos, who have used their expert knowledge to give the villa a minimalist and elegant feel, dominated by fresh white walls and strong, clean lines. The concrete structure also gives a subtle nod to the origins of the property – set back on an unassuming dirt road, Casa Agostos has humble roots, but has been majestically refurbished and extended into a stylish villa that feels at one with the surrounding landscape.
The property has three double bedrooms which can sleep up to six guests, as well two large bathrooms with luxury walk-in showers and bathtubs. An additional, new wing is home to a spacious living room with a cosy fireplace, perfect for gathering around during cooler evenings. Elsewhere, a fully-equipped kitchen makes family entertaining easy and enjoyable – a high-chair is provided for guests’ use too.
Outside, a 15-m pool is surrounded by beautiful lawns. Spend the day relaxing at Casa Agostos in one of the many outdoor spaces the property boasts – the patios, terraces, or rooftop deck,  which offers impressive views of the gardens and further countryside.
Casa Agostos is nestled in a nature reserve, and the property gardens have also been designed with this in mind. The villa is surrounded by hundreds of olive, almond and cork trees, native to this area of Portugal. Enjoy alfresco dinners on the patio and marvel at the environment surrounding Casa Agostos. With rolling hills that stretch on for miles, you’ll struggle to believe that you’re only a short drive from some of the best beaches in Portugal, and the buzz of the Algarve. 

Set in the heart of the Algarve countryside, Casa Agostos is a five minutes drive from Santa Barbara de Nexe, a small but convenient village with a selection of shops, bars, and restaurants.
Head 20 minutes towards the coast, and you’ll be treated to some of the best beaches in the Algarve. Soft white sand, waves that are perfect for both swimming and surfing, and ample coves for you to explore. The closest, Praia da Falésia, was recently named one of the best beaches in Europe by the TripAdvisor 2021 Travellers’ Choice Awards. Backdropped by striking cliffs, this stunning beach also has a lifeguard.
If you’re a keen golfer (or eager to try!), you’re in luck – Casa Agostos is just a 10-15 minute drive away from some world-class golf courses. Live the life of a professional and try your hand on the Quinta do Lago courses, considered among many to be Portugal’s finest, and home to a number of international golfing championships.
Indulge in a touch of retail therapy during your villa holiday in Portugal, with Mar Shopping Algarve just a 10-minute drive from the property. A huge shopping centre, you’ll find everything your shopaholic heart desires in this mall, perfect for days when you want to escape the heat and seek some shade.
Aside from the spectacular beaches, one of the main attractions of the Algarve region is the Ria Formosa nature reserve, which Casa Agostos is also conveniently near. Take part in boat and kayak tours, as well as birdwatching, beachcombing, and exploring the range of landscapes with your family. The ultimate, nature-filled day out.
For wine lovers, the Algarve region is a must-visit. The area is famed for its wineries and vineyards, many of which are among the most renowned in Europe, if not the world. Spend the day exploring the various family-owned estates in the area, embarking on a wine tasting tour of the attractions.
If you’re flying into Portugal, Faro – the capital of the Algarve and home of the international airport – is a 20-minute drive away from Casa Agostos. This is a great place to pick up your rental car too, so you can begin your villa holiday with ease.
