The Villa:
This Villa is a real home from home. It provides a lovely, spacious and comfortable base from which you can explore the beautiful Algarve area in all seasons. Alternatively, it is a secluded and peaceful sun-trap, with shaded areas if required, to relax and unwind.
The main living areas of the Villa are on one level, including 2 of the bedrooms, the pool and terrace. There are steps up to the master bedroom on the first floor, and also down from the pool/terrace to the gardens and 4th bedroom.
The new fully fitted kitchen provides every necessity for self catering and there is also a pool-side barbeque. If you want to eat out, there are literally dozens of excellent restaurants and bars within easy reach, ranging from take away to Michelin star.
There is a resident cat at the Villa, who is friendly and loves company. He isn't a nuisance, but he appreciates anyone who feeds him!
What to do:
The Algarve is famous for it's wonderful beaches and climate. It is usually mild in winter, with a cooling breeze in the summer. Most activities are outdoor, with beach/watersports in summer and golf/walking/riding all the year.
There are many bars and restaurants in the area, some literally on the beach.
The towns of Loule and Faro are each 10 minutes drive away and well worth a visit, an excellent Saturday market at Loule and an interesting harbour area in Faro.
If shopping is your pleasure, there are superb complexes at Faro (Jumbo) and at Guia, about 40 minutes down the EN125 towards Portimao.
Further afield, Portimao and Lagos in the west and Tavira/Cabanas to the east are less than 1 hour's drive.
It is also quite easy to drive or take the train to Lisbon or Seville in around 2 hours, if you want to see one of these beautiful cities.
The countryside is also lovely, with Monchique, Alte and the hills north of Loule naturally spectacular.
Golf:
The Villa is within 15 minutes drive of 10 first class golf courses. All the other courses along the Algarve are within an hour's drive. Advance bookings can be made, providing a discounted rate for green fees.
