Casa Iguana is a 150m² apartment across two floors, part of a quiet complex of seven linked villas on the edge of Budens village. On the ground floor, the entrance opens to a separate WC on the left and a fully equipped kitchen on the right. Ahead, the living room runs through to a terrace that looks out over the communal pool area. The living room has air conditioning and a fireplace with a pellet burner, and the terrace catches the sun from morning onwards. Upstairs, a long balcony connects the sleeping areas. On the left, a bedroom with two single beds has direct balcony access. Next to it, the main bedroom has a double bed, an ensuite bathroom with shower and toilet, and its own balcony access. On the right side of the landing, a shared bathroom with bath and toilet serves the third bedroom, which also has two single beds. All three bedrooms have their own air conditioning unit. The complex is shared with just six other villas, and the pool and jacuzzi are largely under-used, even at the height of summer. The wide terrace, a row of sunbeds, and the view over the pool to open countryside beyond set the tone for most days here.

Budens is a small working village on the EN125 between Lagos and Sagres, sitting on the edge of the Costa Vicentina nature reserve. There is an Intermarché in the village for basics, a petrol station, a handful of local restaurants, and a bus stop a few minutes' walk away. The complex is next to Parque da Floresta, one of the Algarve's established golf resorts, though you have no need to be a golfer to enjoy the location. The surrounding countryside is open and quiet, and several of the western Algarve's best beaches are within easy reach by car. Salema is the closest beach village, around 5 minutes away. Its wide, sheltered bay has a genuine fishing-village character that much of the Algarve has lost. Burgau is similar in feel, slightly smaller, a few minutes in the other direction. Sagres, with its dramatic fortress at the southwestern tip of Europe, is around 20 minutes. Lagos, with its town beaches, marina, restaurants, and old town, is around 20 minutes in the other direction.
