Welcome to Parque da Floresta, Algarve, Portugal

Casa Palmeira, an outstanding luxury self catering holiday villa rental, is located in Parque da Floresta in Portugal's beautiful Western Algarve, about one hour from Faro Airport along the coast past Albufeira and Portimao towards Lagos.

Parque da Floresta is an established golf and leisure holiday resort set on the edge of the Costa Vicentina Nature Reserve. Catering for families and non-golfers as well as golfers, it is set in an area of rolling hills, golden beaches, timeless fishing villages and unspoilt countryside. Besides an 18 hole championship golf course, there is a driving range, tennis courts with coach, football academy, spa, swimming pools and restaurants.

The golf course is an imaginatively designed, 18 hole, par 71 course, now billed as one of Europe’s most picturesque. Measuring 5,587 metres from the white tees, its varying holes run along valleys, past eucalyptus covered ravines, flanked by olive, palm and pine trees.

Children are an important part of the holiday experience, and are well catered for here. Parque da Floresta children's clubs provide a safe and fun environment for children to have fun, learn and make new friends. The experienced, friendly staff organise a full programme of activities to keep children amused and happy throughout their holiday.

Casa Palmeira itself is a four-bedroom luxury holiday villa situated on the edge of the 12th fairway in what we think is the best location in the whole of Parque da Floresta. The villa offers luxury living for an extended family or small group and is a perfect choice of self catering accommodation for a holiday in this beautiful part of Portugal.

The Algarve truly is a special place. The climate is wonderful; mild winters, gentle conditions in autumn and spring, and warm glorious summers make it ideal for enjoying the great outdoors. Whether taking spectacular walks along the nearby coast, sunbathing on the beaches, exploring the tracks though the nature reserve, playing a wide choice of local golf courses, sightseeing or simply enjoying the countryside, you will never find yourselves at a loss for something to do. For the more energetic, the Zoomarine and Aqualand water parks are easily accessible by car.

With regular scheduled flights from many UK airports to Faro, the Algarve has never been more accessible.
