Casa Topa Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Located a 3-minute walk from the cliffs at Vale da Lapa, Casa Topa is a charming 3-bedroom villa between Carvoeiro and Ferragudo on Portugal’s Algarve coast. This well-appointed villa features attractive outdoor spaces including a private pool.
This villa sits in pretty gardens with a fenced swimming pool area lined with sun loungers. A south-facing terrace enjoys lots of sun, while a built-in barbecue is great for impromptu gatherings with food and drinks. You can also enjoy some lovely sea views, with Praia de Vale da Lapa beach only 1km from Casa Topa.
The interior has a homely feel, so you will immediately feel comfortable. A large, light living area has direct access to the pool and terrace and features a flatscreen TV, corner fireplace, seating and dining areas with room for seven at the table. There’s a well-equipped kitchen too, offering dishwasher, microwave and all the essentials.
All three bedrooms are situated on the same level and have direct access to the terrace and an en suite bathroom. There are two rooms with double beds and one room with three single beds, ideal for children to share.
The house is in a good location for local amenities you have a restaurant within 800m and shops around 2km away. Carvoeiro is around 10 minutes’ drive from Lagoa and around 20 minutes from Silves and Portimão, so there is plenty to see and do within a short drive. Various golf courses are easily accessible, while waterparks like Aqualand and Slide & Splash are great for kids.
Portimão’s Praia da Rocha beach with its rugged cliffs is just one of many excellent ones found along the coast the lesser known Praia do Vau a little further west is also well worth seeking out. As the largest town in the area, Portimão offers excellent shopping, dining and entertainment, as well as a pretty esplanade and city museum.East of Portimão, Carvoeiro offers a good range of restaurants, bars and amenities, and has some of the most magnificent beaches on the Algarve coast on its doorstep. Rugged cliffs and secluded coves give the beaches of Carvoeiro plenty of character, with rock formations that have become attractions in their own right.
Take a boat trip to see the caves of Praia de Benagil, where a circular ‘eye’ opening gives sight of a small beach hidden inside. Speaking of beaches, Praia da Marinha is considered one of the world’s most beautiful, with incredibly transparent waters, and Praia da Carvoeiro itself is also very pleasing.
Many of the caves along the coast are visible from Carvoeiro’s boardwalk on the clifftop. Another notable sight is the beautiful Alfanzina Lighthouse. The A Boneca restaurant is also remarkable not because there’s any shortage of them, but because of its incredible location. Set amongst the rocks and caves, it has a spectacular view of the ocean.
At around 50 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport, Carvoeiro enjoys a great location west of that city. South of mountainous Monchique and within easy reach of Silves, it’s clear of the hedonism of the Albufeira strip, and only 20 minutes drive from Portimão. With its stunning marina and excellent shopping facilities, this riverside city is well worth a visit.
The area is made for watersports like wind-surfing, kayaking and sailing, but if you don’t want to risk getting wet, there are also plenty of golf courses and inland areas of natural beauty.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
