Casa Largo

Overview

Casa Largo faces west over the bay of Lagos and towards Sagres and the setting sun, enjoying magnificent 180º views from various terraces at different levels, set up for eating outdoors or just chilling. It has a private swimming pool (heated on request) and the beach is only a few minutes' walk away. The bedrooms are spread over three floors, with a lift servicing each level. The main drawing room with sea views opens onto an extensive terrace and boasts a beautiful grand piano; there is a separate TV room; and a downstairs bar and WC services the pool terrace, which also has a poolside shower.

Outdoor meals or sundowners don’t get much better than this – the view is of fishing boats passing in front of the house and yachts making their way to and from the marinas, whilst the well-known Algarve resort of Praia da Rocha can be seen across the wide estuary. The rear of the property looks onto the Monchique mountain range. Quiet and charming Ferragudo is undoubtedly one of the gems of the Algarve coast and we strongly recommend a walk along the beach to the small restaurants quayside where you can get delicious fresh fish grilled on a charcoal brazier. There are also many golf courses, located within a short drive away.
