Casa Pura Vida is a beautiful and quietly located holiday home for 4-5 people near the coast and very centrally located in the Algarve. The house has been owned by Dutch owners since July 2018 and was completely redecorated. In 2023 we installed a new kitchen. The house is located on a botanical hill and has a beautiful panoramic view over the nature reserve (Salgados), the golden dunes and the blue ocean. The house has a fantastic roof terrace (60m2) with BBQ, dining tables, sunbeds and relax chairs. The roof terrace offers complete privacy and has sublime views. Next to the house is a cozy side terrace with dining table, under a tree and a beautiful view of the valley and a terrace with hammock under the trees with a view of the sea. The house is located on a small-scale, green and quiet Quinta da Saudade estate. Casa Pura Vida is the house at the end of the complex, high on the hill, in the green and far from the road. You can enjoy the peace and quiet, while still being very close to many sights.
We do our utmost for our guests to make their stay unforgettable.
Quinta da Saudade is an authentic former estate around a farm, where 25 holiday homes have been built on the hill. The Quinta is often rated as a unique place to enjoy and unwind. The holiday home is set in attractive gardens with many flowers, palm, almond, olive and orange trees. It is an oasis of peace with 2 beautiful swimming pools, a children's pool with a small playground, tennis court, mini golf, table tennis and petanque. The former farmhouse is now a good Portuguese restaurant with a very good price/quality ratio.
There is also a riding school (cavalosquintadasaudade.com on the site in the valley). The horses can be ridden through the nearby dunes and, if it is not crowded, on the beach. There are horses for beginners and experienced riders. For golf enthusiasts, the popular Salgados golf is only 1 km away. The extensive, golden beach Praia Grande de Pera is 800 m from the Quinta. The beach is about 3 km long from Galé to Armação de Pera, and even in the middle of summer there are large parts of the beach quiet. On part of the beach, nudist recreation is allowed for the enthusiasts. In the vicinity there are also numerous smaller beaches among the beautiful rock formations. See also the youtube film about the house. Search youtube for "Quinta da Saudade Pura Vida" or "Quinta da Saudade 3b". (3b is the house number on the complex). The Quinta is 12 minutes from the old town of Albufeira and 45 minutes from Faro airport. While you stay in peace at the Quinta da Saudade, there is a lot to do in the vicinity. This is a great combination. Many guests come back often.
