Accommodation and Facilities for the villa in Ferragudo, Carvoeiro / Lagoa region, Algarve, Portugal

Transfers to and from Faro Airport

It is perfectly possible to enjoy a holiday here without a car although to fully appreciate what the Algarve has to offer we would recommend car hire (details of competitive suppliers can be provided on request). Full directions to the property will be supplied. We can arrange a taxi from the airport (approximate cost is 60 euros each way). As an alternative, why not take a taxi from the airport and hire a car later in the week – car hire can be arranged by Vila Castelo reception or in the village. Once you are at the villa the shops, beaches, restaurants and entertainment are all within easy walking distance. Organised coach tours run to the aqua and marine parks. There is a regular local bus service (with a stop close by) which runs between Portimao and Carvoeiro. As a novel way of getting around you could always book a water taxi to take you across the river to Praia de Rocha and Portimao.

Layout of the villa

The villa is approached through a small terraced garden area with a safe enclosed paved area suitable for children's play. The hall opens out into a large sitting/dining room with separate kitchen. To the left of the main door is the master bedroom with double bed & en-suite shower room. This is particularly suitable for the elderly or infirm (there is, however a flight of steps down to the pool area). A separate WC is also available on the living room level. Stairs lead down to the second double-bedded room, a twin-bedded room (both with beautiful castle & marina views) & bathroom with bath/shower. A second staircase leads down to the ground floor level where there is a further double bedroom, twin room & full bathroom. All bedrooms have ample wardrobe & storage space & all have air-conditioning/heating units. At the front of the house is a terraced garden with orange, lemon, figs, almond & banana trees. Around the pool area there are ample sun lounger’s & a shower.

Activities for all the family

The villa has its own private pool (heating extra) & there is a further communal pool close by. Ferragudo's Praia Grande is a large unspoilt sandy beach with 4 bars/restaurants & lots of space for the kids to enjoy volleyball, football, digging, fishing or swimming. It's a safe beach sheltered by the harbour walls & it has a wind-surf centre. Pedloes, canoes & kayaks available for hire. Supervised canoeing up the river can be arranged through the Tourist Office in the village. Zoos, a marine park & aqua parks within easy driving (organised excursions available). Attractive coastal & inland walks for the enthusiast. Algarve Shopping complex is 18 kms away & Portimao is also a good shopping centre. Recent investment in Portimao has created an attractive town & riverside area. Music concerts are held on the waterfront & the annual sardine festival is worth a visit. Bookings can be made for the 6 golf courses, tennis & boat trips (with fishing) all close by.
