Under the same ownership for over 20 years and beautifully modernised a few years ago Casa Florbela is just a few hundred yards from one of the best beaches in the world.
Rarely requiring it's air conditioning with good natural ventilation and cooled by the mass of stone, brick & tile, Casa Florbela is the perfect holiday place for one or two couples or a small family with teenage children cooling off in the pool.

Beaches
The nearest beach is Praia do Garrao - just a 20 minute walk down the hill, past the Ria Park Hotel & Spa and the super expensive properties built nearer the sea. Residential development is not permitted directly on the beach in this area so the only beach-side properties are cafes, restaurants and water-sports businesses. The beach is over 2.5km long, with beautiful soft sand and crisp oceanic waters of about 10C. There is more information here.
