Alvor House | Far From The Madding Crowd…But Not Quite….

2 Bedroom House in Alvor

Located right beside the marina / main restaurant area, Casa Clare offers four people comfortable, convenient home-from-home accommodation with its two bedrooms, traditional barbeque, large patio and roof terrace offering stunning views over the marina as far as Lagos.
With a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and mild winters, summer temperatures are high, but moderated by the sea breeze. It is said that the Algarve has one of the best all year climates in Europe.
Alvor, in the Western Algarve is testament to that! It is perfectly located, close to the sea and countryside it is the optimal destination for those seeking a versatile holiday. Alvor is a 50 minute drive from Faro airport.
Village life is pleasant, you can wander to the market hall or bakery in the morning and buy your fresh fruit, fish and bread and spend your afternoons relaxing on the beach. For the more energetic there’s golf, horseback riding, water sports and a wide selection of excursions (land and sea, all available within 100 metres of Casa Clare).
Steps immediately outside Casa Clare on Rua dos Pescadores lead down to the main restaurant area / marina. Alvor boasts over 100 restaurants, most of which are an easy stroll from the house.
Our fully equipped kitchen will make home cooking a pleasure and should the weather warrant it, the dining suite in the living room provides for comfortable eating indoors
The living room boasts two large Italian sofas with matching foot stools. The entertainment unit housing a 50” smart TV with Netflix, books and games and a stand-alone wood burning stove creates a cosy homely feel on the rare cool day or chilly night. Of course there is air-conditioning! There is hi speed wifi throughout the house and terraced areas.
But who wants to be indoors? Eating out at home is such a joy…….the aromatic scent of fresh herbs, coupled with the sizzling sound of fresh fish or meat on the charcoal is mouth-watering at any time of day!
Breakfast outside on the patio is extra special with cheerful birdsong and the faint sounds of the fishermen returning with their late night or early morning catch!
There’s no need for a clock here, the local church bells ring in the hours and lively antics and calls of the seagulls announce mealtimes!
Sundowners on the rooftop to the sound of the wind blowing through the rigging and halyards of sail boats in the marina, the fading light “through dark clouds a red rose peeping and an amber gleam*” eases the day into the night. (*Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet)
The master bedroom (king size bed) to the rear of the property is en-suite (shower & toilet); it has air-conditioning and an electric fan. There is ample storage in the wardrobe, two bedside lockers and vanity unit.

Summary: The property is located just one street away from the main area of Alvor with its bars and restaurants. The house has everything you need: large TV with a host of UK channels. The kitchen is very well equipped with ample crockery, cutlery, hob and a large fridge freezer. The main bedroom has an ensuite shower room and a very comfortable double bed and air con. The front bedroom has 2 single beds with a fan instead of aircon. The garden area has a table we used every day. The roof terrace has space for 2 sun loungers and is very much a suntrap. It's slightly overlooked but nothing intrusive. We were very well looked after by Lorna who kept in touch with us throughout our stay - she's lovely. The owners Zoe and Gervase also looked after us very well with great communication prior to our arrival and throughout our stay. We had a small issue with the washing machine that was promptly resolved by Zoe and Lorna. The only areas of improvement that we would suggest is that the air con system be upgraded with an additional unit in the front bedroom. We also think the kitchen and storage areas/drawers could benefit from being cleared as there are a lot of items there that have built up over many stays. We have stayed in a number of properties in Alvor since 1997 but Casa Claire allowed us to have one of the best, most relaxing holidays we've ever had. We enjoyed the sun during the day and the town at night with everything an easy stroll away and would recommend it to anyone!
