Beautiful, spacious villa with solar pool & games room

Large well-appointed villa in rolling hills, set in 4 acres looking south west down a valley studded with carob and olive trees, carpeted with wild flowers in Spring. This wonderfully peaceful location is only 7km from some of the finest beaches in the Algarve, close to the lovely towns of Castro Marim (5km) and Vila Real (7km). Spain is 10 mins by car and Seville 90 minutes.The glorious River Guadiana and its valley is close by and a drive north takes you to the small towns, vineyards & cork oaks of the Alentejo. Monte Gordo with its lively nightlife and casino is on the nearby coast.
The villa is very well situated for those wishing to explore; or you may prefer to laze by the solar heated pool, re-tiled with new lights winter 2020/21, and to soak up the views from the various terraces, or shaded decking area where the main BBQ is placed. It is surrounded by open countryside, and is well distanced from other properties and people, perhaps relevant during Covid concerns.
The salt marshes around Castro Marim are renowned for birdwatching. As for golf, the closest courses, in order of expense, are Castro Marim, (5km),with 27 holes, Quinta do Vale, designed by Seve Ballasteros, (7km), and Monte Rei designed by Jack Nicklaus, (8km). Others within a 30 minute drive include Quinta da Ria, Quinta da Cima and Benamor. There are several more over the border in Spain.

Wonderful holiday
We have had a wonderful and peaceful holiday. The villa is very comfortable and homely. The pool is great as is all the various outside sitting areas so you can find either sun or shade while taking in the lovely views.

It was a wonderful week
This is a lovely villa with amazing views and in a very quiet area. We are three generations who spent a wonderful week here. The villa is extremely well equipped and everything was as described. Luis met us on arrival and showed us round and was very helpful. It was very hot during our stay and, apart from a couple of trips to the beach, we were all happy to spend most of our time round the pool. We also went to a festival at Castro Marim one evening which everyone enjoyed. We would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet break.

Best villa we have stayed in
Quinta da Lavanda is a real jewel. The most beautiful villa in a stunning setting. Very peaceful and the pool is simply magnificent. We didn’t find the villa straight away & drove passed the entrance 3 times before we spotted the sign. We arrived quite late & darkness had fallen but we still had a warm welcome from Luis the house manager who was very helpful & checked in on us later in the week too. The area is much quieter than the western part of the Algarve but still plenty of good restaurants and shops nearby. We especially liked Tavira, Villa Real & Monte Gordo. We were lucky with the weather - the Algarve has the bluest skies in brilliant sunshine. Watch out or mosquitoes in the evening & take bug spray to prevent nasty bites. We would love to make a return visit!

A pleasant stay
Richard & Robyn were very helpful during the booking process and were flexible during the uncertainty of travel due to covid which was much appreciated. Luis the Property Manager was very helpful and dealt with any issues promptly and with understanding. The villa is very spacious, but was not quite as tranquil as we had hoped. There are a number of properties with dogs nearby which could be heard during the day and evening which was a shame. Some areas of the villa were a bit 'tired' and I wouldn't describe it as luxury. The pool lights were broken and couldn't be used, and there was a problem with drains which was waiting to be dealt with which meant there was an unpleasant smell when sitting by the pool. There was a lot of information at the villa about places to visit etc, but very little about the villa itself. The undercover BBQ area was very pleasant and we spent many enjoyable evenings there, and the lounge area very comfortable for when the evenings were a little cooler.

Lovely Villa in a very quiet area
We absolutely loved our stay at Quinta da Lavanda. The villa has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Lovely pool and outdoor space with a great BBQ (there are actually two). Only 5 Km from lovely beaches and Vila Real de S.Antonio is a great town for shopping and dining out. Spain is only 7 km away. I strongly recommenced this villa, we had a great time in there. Luis (villa manager) was always there ready to help us out if and when we needed him.

Fantastic Holiday!
We recently returned from a fantastic 2 & a half week stay at this property & would recommend it to anyone. We are a family of 5 with 3 young children & were also joined by parents & a niece while we were there making 8 of us for just over a week of our stay. The villa has ample room & we made good use of the downstairs playroom with the table tennis & table football not to mention the extra tv & dvd player which the kids used daily. This room also has a fridge freezer which was great for storing all our much needed cold drinks! The kitchen has everything you need & a coffee maker which was used on a daily basis. All rooms had air conditioning which during out stay (July into August) was a welcome relief from the heat of the day, we all slept with it on. There are several balconies / terraces to choose from, the main one being off the upstairs living room where we ate lunch most days. With 3 small children the washing machine was very handy & when put out on the rotary dryer in the garden it was dry within an hour thanks to the sun. Pool towels are provided which we didn't realise but could save you space in your suitcase if you are staying here, that was a good touch. The pool itself is huge & was the main focus of our holiday, with the heating it also stayed warm later on in the day until 7/8pm which is great if you like a later swim. Kids loved the pool as did the adults. Plenty of loungers too. We left a few inflatables for the next visitors as we had far too many to bring home. Take some mozzie spray as we got bitten sitting outside at night on the first few days, we used a lot but still got caught out. The drive leading up to the house is quite steep at the end & as it's mainly gravel so you need to put your foot down to get enough speed to get to the top. We shopped in Castro Marim & Vila Real de San Antonio where there are good supermarket choices. We visited Altura beach which was lovely, took the ferry over to Ayamonte in Spain & also had a kid free trip to Seville when parents were with us so it's a great base to explore from - only 45 mins drive from Faro. Luis was there to meet us & very friendly too, couldn't do enough to help & also recommended a few things, thanks Luis! The welcome pack at the villa was a good touch too! We would go back to this villa in a heartbeat, it had everything we were looking for & the views of the hills from the terraces & poolside are amazing. Thanks - we will be back!!!

Wonder luxury villa -views, pool, terraces and lots of entertainment for the kids
Thanks to Richard, Robyn and Luis for their fantastic hospitality. The villa is beautiful with lots of space and numerous terraces for sunbathing and views. The cherry on the top is the table tennis and table football downstairs with an extra tv and dvd player if you want separation from the kids! We love the area and although we were abit unlucky with the weather, we had a great time visiting the beautiful beaches, wonderful restaurants and markets in the area.
