About this property

Luxury Family Villa on Penina Golf – Heated Pool & Sauna


  • Fully renovated in 2022, Casa dos Arcos is a classic Algarve villa set right on the Penina championship golf course — once the home of the Penina hotel's founder. With five bedrooms, a large fenced garden, and a heated salt-water pool with wide shallow steps, it's built for relaxed family holidays where children can play safely and everyone has room to spread out.

    Inside there's central heating and air conditioning in every room, a fireplace, a fully equipped open kitchen, and plenty to keep all ages happy — table tennis, mini football and tennis, video games and board games. A travel crib and family bikes (for adults and children) make it easy to bring the little ones.

    It's just as good for active groups. Cycle or hike straight from the door, drive 20 minutes to Monchique mountain for its hiking and biking trails, or reach the west-coast surf spots — Amado, Arrifana and Carrapateira are around 25 minutes away. Golfers have the fairways at the garden gate, with 40+ courses within an hour.

    After a day outdoors, unwind in the Turkish steam bath and sauna, fire up the barbecue, and dine outside in the illuminated garden. Alvor beach and the Ria de Alvor nature reserve are minutes away, with the Portimão racing circuit and Monchique close by.

    ***** Another wonderful stay at this fantastic home. The warm pool, relaxing steam bath, and cozy fireplace made for the perfect winter escape. Everything is thoughtfully prepared for a comfortable and enjoyable visit. António is an excellent host, always available and welcoming. Highly recommend this place – looking forward to the next visit!
    ***** Loved our stay at the villa. Very homely. An authentic and historically significant villa to the region. Antonio was super responsive and welcoming. We will definitely return.
    ***** Cannot say enough things about our stay. Antonio was the most responsive and supportive host I have ever come across - through many stays spanning multiple cities / countries. He is thoughtful, responsive, and does everything one could ask for to make our family feel at home. The house is incredible - from the kitchen to the backyard setting, from the pool to the toys for the kids - it was everything we would ask for and more. I consider anyone who has the opportunity to stay at this unique and one-of-a-kind villa incredibly lucky! 500 stars!
    ***** António welcomed us into his beautiful home like we were family. From the time we booked to the time we departed, he was so kind and helpful, giving us many helpful tips and suggestions about the area. He communicated with us daily to make sure we were comfortable. The home itself is a peaceful and spacious oasis, with beautiful grounds and plenty of space for our family of 9. It was a close drive to many Algarve towns. We would highly recommend this rental.
