Overview
Malhao is a peaceful, countryside location though very close to the action of Vilamoura and Albufeira. It is easily apparent when you arrive at the wonderful Casa Ceu that designers have had a hand in not only the arrangement of the rooms but also the furnishings and stunning artwork and sculptures giving this villa a wonderful contemporary feel. Everything from the handpicked mirrors and wooden sculptures gives you that indulgent holiday home feel. With 3 beautiful bedrooms, Casa Ceu sleeps 6 guests. The villa is adjacent to our Casa Stella so you could book both villas for a large group. Certainly, the entertaining space in Casa Ceu is seriously impressive, giving you an easy scope to invite extra guests for the day or dinner.
With all of the rooms on one level, albeit there are a few steps down to the lower bedroom area, this is a great villa if you have anyone a little less mobile with you. The open plan living room is splendid, so light and airy with white contemporary furnishings and plenty of space. For your entertainment, there is satellite TV, Playstation, DVD, a CD player and Bluetooth speaker. Doors open to the covered front terrace. The living area flows to a games room with a quality pool table. The kitchen is wonderful with everything you would wish for. Again it is modern and extremely well fitted.
The lower bedroom area is stunning, again mostly in dazzling white. There are two spacious double rooms, both with immaculate, contemporary ensuite bathrooms and both directly leading to a terrace and the garden. The twin bedroom has an equally impressive ensuite shower room and direct access to the terrace.
Although the interior is absolutely divine, you are bound to spend most of your time in the delightful garden. There is a games area with table tennis and covered alfresco dining with a built-in barbecue. The lawns overlook the rural vista and are decked with sun loungers and deck chairs. It is very easy to find a shady corner here if you have had enough of the sun. The main pool is large at 15.5m x 6.9m, and the solar heated children’s pool is 4.5m x 3.9m. There are steps up to a lovely roof terrace where you can admire the fabulous, far-reaching views.
What you should know…
- The villa has much entertainment for adults and children alike. It is very easy to find your own space for a quiet read or a competitive game of pool
- The nearest beach is Olhos d’Agua, 12km from the villa so you do need to get in the car for a beach day
- You will be spoilt for choice when looking for dinner out in Albufeira or Vilamoura! Many visitors head to the marinas where there are many upmarket restaurants

Location
About the surrounding area of Casa CeuYou will really appreciate the tranquillity of Malhao. This delightful area is known for its wildlife, views and climbing and is very popular with cyclists and hikers. The Buddhist stupa close to Malhao offers amazing panoramic views. You really wouldn’t know that you are just 14km from the buzzy towns of Albufeira and Vilamoura.
The pretty village of Boliquieme offers another rural slice of the Algarve with several shops and supermarkets as well as some charming cafes and restaurants. Don’t be surprised to see some locals playing their regular games of dominoes. It really is very charming.
You may also enjoy visiting the ruins of the Castle of Perderne, an old Moorish castle constructed in the 12th century. Perderne boasts several cosy restaurants and bars and is 9km from the villa. Guia is famous for its delicious piri-piri chicken which is barbecued on charcoal and spiced with hot chilli sauce. You can also visit Loule, Almancil, San Lourenco and Silves very quickly and easily. There are several places en route such as Quinta da Tor and Quinta da Miradouro where you can taste some delicious local wine.
Albufeira boasts a hedonistic nightlife, a very pretty promenade, stunning cliff walks, a maze of cobbled streets, boutique designer shopping and a huge range of activities. Albufeira’s ultramodern chic marina is a hub of activity during the day and the evening.
Just along the coast, Vilamoura boasts six renowned golf courses including Victoria, Laguna, Millennium, the Old Course, Pinhal and Vila Sol. The Algarve has a reputation as one of the finest golf destinations of the world with the Portugal Masters taking place every year at the Victoria Golf Course. Sports enthusiasts can also enjoy watersports, horse riding, football, tennis and cycling along the traffic-free tracks and paths. Vilamoura also boasts a very classy marina, two stunning beaches, wellness spas, an eclectic dining scene, chic bars, buzzy beach clubs and a famous leading casino. It is upmarket and smart.
Faro’s Old Town is beautiful and worth a trip. There are hidden gems on every bend of the cobbled, atmospheric streets. You will encounter centuries-old architectural sights, Roman passages, cosy cafes and some delightful restaurants. Many of the old houses are decorated with colourful flowers, adding to the lovely ambience.
