Casa Cales is located on a hill just outside Loulé with far-reaching views of the sea and closer to Loulé, a lovely relaxed old town in the middle of the Algarve.
Location Casa Cales
Loulé & Surroundings
The center of Loulé is only 5 minutes away by car. Via an old path you can walk from Casa Cales to the center of Loulé in 25 minutes.
The Mercado on Saturday is worth a visit. Then the farmers in the area offer their own products such as fruit and vegetables, almonds, honey and olive soaps. There are many coffee shops and shops around the market.
Loulé is an old town founded by the Moors. Walking through Loulé you will see that part of the old Moorish street pattern is still intact. There are also old fortress walls and Moorish baths in the village/town.
The Coast
The nearest beaches, Praia de Loulé Velho, Praia do Almargem and Praia Olhos de Água are a 25-minute drive away.
Loulé has a Mediterranean climate that is partly determined by its inland location and the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. The winter months are mild, only frost for the first time last winter! The summers are pleasantly warm with an average day temperature around 30 degrees and in the evenings wonderfully sultry, but always take a scarf or cardigan with you because sometimes a fresh sea breeze suddenly blows here on the mountain…
History
From 1998 to 2018 this was a meditation place for students of the School of Light. Together they built this special place.
In 2020 this beautiful piece of land was purchased by the Cales family. Because the place has been quiet for about 3 years and no maintenance was done, there is still work in progress but not disturbing
