Casa da Infanta is located in a stunning position on the cliffs of Ferragudo in the Western Algarve. It faces west over the bay of Lagos, towards Sagres and the sunsets. There are magnificent views over the peaceful waters of the Algarve coast, with fishing boats, and with yachts making their way to and from the marina. A sandy beach is 50 metres away just below the property, and can be reached by steep private steps, or by a longer walk through the estate grounds. Ferragudo, 1 km away, is a quiet, charming, waterside village, and a walk along the beach will bring you to some delightful small restaurants where you can get delicious fresh fish grilled on a charcoal brazier. There are many golf courses within a short drive of the property.
Originally the home of the Princess of Portugal, the property remains in the ownership of the Portuguese Royal Family. The interiors have been completely refurbished and updated, yet retain many of the original features, including the antique beds with family coat of arms. There is a total of 9 bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, and spread over three floors, with a lift service at each level. The property can be rented for groups of either up to 10 people (in which case the top floor is closed off) or for up to 19 people. Further amenities include a safe, barbecue, satellite TV and hairdryers in all the bathrooms.
The main drawing room, with sea view, and a grand piano, also opens to an extensive terrace. There are terraces at all three levels, with views, and a swimming pool (12.5 x 5m) overlooking the sea.
