We stayed 14 wonderful days at Casa Clara, we really enjoyed the rooftop terrace, the well equipped kitchen, the air conditioning and the fact that everything was working and cleaned perfectly before our arrival. The resort is well kept and it was perfect to have the gym, tennis and golf course at reduced cost. The gym is very basic, but works. We enjoyed the nice restaurants at Salema much more than the resort restaurant. This part of Algarve is less touristy but still with a lot of activities available.

We enjoyed a wonderful 10 days at Casa Clara. Communication with Kim before our arrival was very good and we appreciated the restaurant recommendations etc. The house itself was perfect for us. Comfortable beds, good showers, lots of space to be together or to find some space to read in the sun or shade! We didn’t really explore Budens but the area around it has so much to offer all within east reach by car. Thank you 😊

All four of us retirees loved our first stay in Portugal at Casa Clara. The woman who manages it was so friendly (as was everyone in this complex) and language was not an issue. We had everything we needed for a memorable vacation! The internet was great connection. We bought a SIM card at the airport to use our Canadian phones for only 20 euros. We rented a car right at the Faro airport and found that we really needed a car at Casa Clara as the Slalema Beach was a hilly drive. Our leg strength was evident each day as the levels of hills to walk anywhere would be a challenge for anyone with physical challenges. The weather is beautiful there, the pool was a great place to read each day-very peaceful. The every room air conditioning units were greatly appreciated as was the tastefully decorated home. It was such a beautiful place when we arrived. The directions and timely interactions with the owner fir any questions we had were greatly appreciated. They are all friendly, approachable and awesome to deal with. The hot water tank just happened to break when we were there and it was replaced immediately by the excellent property manager. This truly astonished us as the repair happened so quickly (faster than we would ever have had anything repaired in our own home) and the owner even communicated with us for an alternative to get a hot shower but it was repaired so quickly we did not miss anything! We also appreciated all of the manuals to instruct us on the wash machine, and every utensil we needed. Loved the assortment of novels to read, games to play and pamphlets highlighting activities and places yo go. Parking the car st Casa Clara was never an issue . The home is situated on five levels of stairs so guests need yo be physically able to climb stairs regularly. The bedrooms are two levels down from when we entered and the kitchen one level up. The outdoor rooftop area was a joy to dry our clothes and towels and relax with the best view over the hills. We could walk yo the grocery store which also has the coffee shop and bakery (delicious) . We travelled every day and enjoyed many beaches and towns. Sagres, Silves, the shops in Lagos, the fresh seafood, Salema beach, the coastal beaches on the west as well as Marinha beach rated one of the top in the world! Fresh orange juice every day, pomegranate trees, lemon trees, olive trees—all amazing. Cannot wait to return . Make sure you have a car when you go here so you won’t miss all the beauty !

Great property with all the conditions needed for an ideal vacations. Lots of space, well equipped, nice and quiet neighborhood. Easy and immediate feedback from the house owners.
