Spacious Villa on edge of Portuguese Village close to stunning beaches/amenities

This spacious 3 double bedroom villa with a large communal pool and hot tub overlooks a traditional windmill and unspoilt countryside in the location of Budens. The villa is situated within a quiet complex of just 7 link villas, all finished to a very high standard. The villas are equipped with a private communal pool, which is surrounded by landscaped gardens, is also south facing giving guests sun shine all day long.

The villas are a very pleasant mix of owner/occupier, holiday homes utilised by friends and family, and a couple that are rented for the main summer months and then utilised by family and friends for the remainder. The stunning beaches within the locality generally means that the villa facilities (pool/hot tub) are largely under-utilised.

The air conditioned villa has all modern facilities and offers spacious living for families or small groups of friends. There is an internal door and shutters on every window which helps to let little ones have an undisturbed afternoon nap. There is also a small wall around the balcony that prohibits little ones accessing areas they shouldn’t (ie the pool area). There is a cot available and also the sofa in large lounge converts easily into a very large double bed. We also have a couple of ‘put up occasional’ beds should the need arise.

The location is minutes away from some of the very best unspoilt beaches in the Algarve, and also opposite Parque de Floresta/Santo Antonio Golf complex. One of the very few villas in the local area that is situated on the very edge of the traditional Portuguese village of Budens, with very easy access to the village amenities and local restaurants, and not tucked away on a golf complex. There are 3 golf clubs within 15 minutes (Floresta/Espiche and Boa Vista) and over 25 more within 45/50 minutes drive.

There are many traditional Portuguese fishing villages (Salema, Burgau, Sagres, Praia Da Luz) with their stunning unspoilt beaches all within a 5-10 minute drive. Salema is also walkable over the hill and takes about 30 minutes. The local excellent bus service runs via some of the beaches and also into Lagos. A very reliable taxi service is also available within the village.

The all year round Portuguese walled town of Lagos is just 20 minutes by car, c. 30 minutes by bus (5 min walk from villa to the bus stop). Lagos boasts 2 more amazing beaches; Meia Praia, 5km of beautiful white sands, with a few beach restaurants scattered about, and also Praia Patatas, which is also known as the town beach. Again an easily accessible lovely sandy beach, with a cool beach bar open throughout May to September. Canoe expeditions to the caves also set off from this beach.

There is a very large daily fish market with a huge array of weird and wonderful fish for sale, all caught by the local fishermen.

Lagos Marina is accessible either by ferry from the town or over the bridge. Definitely worth a visit. Ample bars and restaurants to idle away the time people watching, sampling the varied menus, supping a cool relaxing beer, or indulging in a slice of home made Victoria Sponge and supping a cafè com Leite (white coffee).

Lots of tours available from here (dolphin watching/deep sea fishing/canoes/etc etc)

Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to ask. This is a very lovely and friendly complex absolutely ideal for a memorable vacation which you will want to revisit. Many thanks, Patsy

Mixed feelings
This is a mixed review, the house was spacious and bright. But it does need some TLC on furnishings etc. The house never got any morning sun so there was no where to sit and enjoy breakfast in the sun. The sun didn’t make it to the patio until after 1.30pm It’s on a corner and the wind was howling which made it too cold. The cleaning of the kitchen needs looking at. All the pots had to be washed before they could be used. The location was fabulous but obviously you need a car. Wouldn’t go back to that property but definitely the area again. Owner was very easy to communicate with. Although we never discussed our gripes.

The property was beautifully clean with good sized rooms and attractive. The pool was clean and inviting. Enjoyed looking at the Windmill. The property is a short distance from Salema which we were glad of as Salema was crowded with tourists and we wanted to relax. However, we could easily go int he evening into Salema for dinner.

Property is what we expected. Very clean and spacious. Lovely area and we were able to relax. Large communal pool and nice to meet some neighbours. No noise at all at any stage. Patsy is a very great host. Provided lots of information/recommendations prior and during our stay which was very helpful. We were not going to hire a car and Patsy recommended this. Pleased we did as it does make it easy to travel. Lots of other booklets in property too. Missing the sun, villa and the area. Highly recommend. Thank you very much Patsy!

spacious and quiet
The property was very spacious and quiet. It offered everything we needed (we were a family of three). The A/C worked well. The building seems solidly built, and we could not hear any neighbors. Located close to several beaches. One obviously needs a car whilst here, but I recommend this property without reservation. Slight downside is weak internet signal that did not reach the second floor. But otherwise, it was a great stay. Patsy was quick to communicate and offer help and suggestions.

Lovely, spacious villa
The villa was lovely, very spacious and welcoming, we enjoyed our stay. We were only there a short time and in pretty awful weather, but still managed a dip in the pool between squalls. The pool is a great size and surprisingly warm at the end of October! Thank you very much for having us.

Beautiful villa in a great location!
Great apartment! Wonderful pool and jacuzzi! Pretty view of the Portugese wind mill! Great location - just a few minutes short drive to a beatiful beach in Salema village filled with nice restaurants serving local fresh fish caught in the ocean. The place and restaurant is so popular with both locals and tourists that a reservation to Salema restaurants (Atlantico and Boia, for example) are required at least a couple of days in advance if you want to get a table in the evening. There is a very delicious restaurant called O Tiagos in the Budens village where the appartment is located - just a couple of minutes walk. But make a reservation at least one day in advance! The host Patsy is very active answering your questions and made very valuable recommendations about local places and activities to do. Air conditioniers were ineachroom of the apartment and wete very helpful in August. Our family of 6 people spent a wonderful week at the villa and we definately want to be back!

Excelente moradia em óptima localização
Foram dez dias super agradáveis em ambiente tranquilo ou agitado conforme nos apetecia. Na vila pacífica de Budens mas perto da agitação de Lagos. Com praias mais desertas a oeste ou mais quentes a sul. Uma piscina super tranquila e um jacuzzi a cereja em cima do bolo. Divisões espaçosas muito bem equipadas e confortáveis. Com três filhos pequenos mais os avós conseguimos agradar a todos.
