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 CeuNestled in the picturesque Algarve region of southern Portugal, the charming village of Boliqueime exudes a timeless allure that captures the hearts of all who visit. This tranquil haven, enveloped by rolling hills and verdant countryside, is a hidden gem offering a delightful blend of rustic charm and modern comforts.
Boliqueime is a quintessential Portuguese village known for its white-washed houses adorned with terracotta roofs, quaint cobblestone streets, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The village square, with its charming cafes and the striking Parish Church of São Faustino, serves as the heart of the community. Here, locals gather to socialize, and visitors can savour traditional Portuguese cuisine while soaking in the relaxed ambience.
Beyond the village, the surrounding countryside boasts a captivating natural beauty. Olive groves, vineyards, and citrus orchards stretch as far as the eye can see, creating a patchwork of vibrant green hues against the backdrop of the golden Algarve sun. The aroma of citrus blossoms fills the air in spring, adding a fragrant dimension to the landscape.
For those seeking outdoor adventures, the hills and trails around Boliqueime offer excellent opportunities for hiking and cycling. The undulating terrain and panoramic vistas make for a rewarding exploration of the region's flora and fauna. Birdwatchers will also be delighted by the diverse avian species that call this area home.
The nearby beaches of Vilamoura, Albufeira, and Quarteira are just a short drive away, providing an enticing escape to the crystal-clear waters and golden sands of the Algarve coast. These coastal towns offer a plethora of water-based activities, from sailing and surfing to simply basking in the sun.
Boliqueime's location is not only convenient for exploring the coast but also for discovering the Algarve's cultural and historical treasures. The Moorish influences are evident in the architecture and design of many buildings, including the impressive Castle of Paderne, a short drive away.
In the evenings, Boliqueime transforms into a haven of serenity under the starry Portuguese sky. As the village lights twinkle, it becomes evident that this unassuming village in the heart of the Algarve offers a tranquil escape where time seems to stand still, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the authentic beauty and culture of Portugal.
