Casa Mirama is a large villa, on the edge of the village of Alvor, split into two self contained apartments being Casa Mirama Poolside and Casa Mirama Terrace.  The owners do not rent out Casa Mirama Terrace which is the upstairs apartment.

Casa Mirama Poolside sleeps 4 to 6 in a spacious two bedroom, two bathroom (one ensuite) apartment with an open plan lounge and kitchen adjacent to a large covered terrace, ideal for outside dining, overlooking the garden and swimming pool.  The pool is for the sole use of the guests renting the apartment.
The apartment sleeps 4 comfortably in two large bedrooms. The lounge area (which can sleep an additional 2 people on Z beds)  includes an open plan kitchen with a breakfast bar that seats 4.

Although located in a quiet area the villa is an easy 15 minute walk ino the centre of the village with its bustling streets and great choice of restaurants, so in the evenings there is no need to take the car.  It is also possible to take a longer, picturesque walk into the village along the estuary.

Flexible changeover days make this an ideal choice providing you with more flexiblity over flight times and the chance to avoid busy Saturdays and Sundays.  When making an enquiry please state how many people will be staying.

This is an ideal option for those who do not want to stay in a resort and require their own independance with the benefits of your own pool, outside dining and BBQ facilities.
