Casa Lania Portugal

The delightful, south-facing Casa Lania is situated within a short distance from the gorgeous Ancao Beach, between Vale do Garrao and Dunas Douradas in the Vale do Lobo triangle. It is a very popular, upmarket, attractive urbanisation with several trendy bars and restaurants as well as the stunning beach. With four excellent double bedrooms, this villa sleeps eight guests and is ideal for a large family or a group of friends.  There is so much going on in this area including fantastic golf opportunities at the nearby courses such as the 18 hole, Par 72 San Lorenzo Golf Course. There are amazing family water parks and theme parks, mini-golf, watersports, incredible beaches, the fabulous Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, glitzy, glamorous resorts such as Vilamoura and delightful, historic towns such as Loule.  Casa Lania is extremely comfortable with tasteful furnishings and plenty of space. The outside space is lovely with a large garden and terrace and a fenced swimming pool. There are sun loungers and alfresco dining on the terrace with a built-in barbecue to prepare delicious summer suppers. You can escape the strong Portuguese sun under the various canopies. There is also an outside shower.  The entrance of the villa leads to a charming living room with a formal dining area. With tasteful decoration and deluxe, traditional furnishings it is very easy to relax in this villa. The well-equipped traditional kitchen also has a breakfast area. Two of the wonderful double bedrooms are downstairs, both with well-maintained tiled ensuite bathrooms. There is also a useful guest cloakroom.  Upstairs, there are a further two double bedrooms. Again these have their own delightful ensuite bathrooms, and they have terrace access with lovely views. All of the rooms in Casa Lania have a lot of space. This is an ideal base, within walking distance of the fabulous beach. The Blue Flag Ancao Beach is roughly halfway between Faro and Quarteira, within the so-called ‘Golden Triangle’ which is an area containing the Algarve’s most affluent resorts of Vale do Lobo, Vale do Garrao and Quinta do Lago. Ancoa is on the edge of the beautiful Ria Formosa Nature Park and is backed by pristine sand dunes. There are sun loungers and parasols available and a few dining options, including the excellent Dois Passos fish restaurant. There are watersports including water skiing, wakeboarding, stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking available.  The Ria Formosa Nature Park is a large network of barrier islands and inlets created by constantly shifting sandbanks stretching to Cacelha Velha near Tavira. The reserve is an important breeding ground for many coastal birds and is an area of oyster and salt farming, fishing and shellfish harvesting. Charming ferry boats take visitors to the remote islands of Barreta, Culatra, Armona and Ilha Tavira from Faro, Olhao, Fuseta and Tavira. It is definitely worth a trip to Faro and beyond to discover these lovely islands.  Loule is a charming, typical Portuguese market town centred around its North African inspired covered market. The local produce, fresh fish and regional handicraft stalls are so colourful and atmospheric. There are extra markets on Saturdays, so that is a great day to visit.   If you are looking for some sophisticated nightlife, then you should head to Vilamoura. The modern marina is brimming with luxury yachts, chic restaurants and vibrant bars and cafes – amazing DJ’s play cool music in the trendy clubs. The Vilamoura Casino is very popular as are the glamorous brand-name boutiques. Vilamoura Beach extends to Quarteira, and the breathtaking Falesia Beach stretches for miles to Olhos de Aqua.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
