Built on one level, Casa Belcarina is set within its own grounds, in a privileged hill side position just above the Quinta da Saudade development, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside towards the sea in the distance.

Accommodation consists of a master double bedroom with dressing room and bathroom en suite, a twin bedroom also en suite and two further twin rooms sharing a separate bathroom. There is a large well equipped kitchen and the sitting/dining room, spacious and airy, has french doors leading onto a long covered terrace overlooking the unusual bell shaped swimming pool (4 x 8m) and barbecue area.

From Belcarina there is an easy walk down to the Quinta da Saudade restaurant and bar (open from May to September), which serves a good selection of cold drinks and light meals and is an ideal setting for the lively barbecues that take place on Saturday evenings during high season.

The Quinta da Saudade is an exclusive development set among olive and orange groves situated in Vale de Parra, a mile from the nearest beach at Galé and 4 miles west of Albufeira.
