Babies and Children Welcome:
We aim to make Villa Jolu an enjoyable place to stay for families with children of all ages, and as such we are pleased to provide the following items as standard: Stairgates, Cot & Bedding, High chair, Potty & Baby Bath.
The swimming pool area has lockable gates to help prevent unsupervised access.
We understand that travelling with young children can be difficult, (and seriously eat into your luggage allowance!), so to help we can offer, by request, the use of a stroller, microwave steriliser and playpen, and we can arrange for essentials such as nappies, wipes and formula to be there too, so please ask for details - we are happy to help.
About the Algarve:
The Algarve is renowned for it’s golf, with courses too numerous to mention here. However, most golf courses will require you to provide your handicap certificate before allowing you to play a round and insist that you are wearing the correct kit, soft spikes etc. so please check with the individual golf course before you book, to avoid disappointment.
Also renowned for its mild and sunny climate, It boasts an average of 3000 hours of sunshine per year - so don't forget your sunscreen! It is mild all year round with virtually no rain in the summer months. February sees the start of the spring and its warm in October.
The Algarve coastline has miles of glorious sandy beaches with their stunning rock formations. The interior from the coast greatly varies in its picturesque appeal due to its variety of fauna, soil and contours. In January and February the coast is painted white with almond blossom shading the many varieties of wild orchids. In March, the heady perfume of orange blossom mixes with the bloom of acacias. During the month of April the bountiful wild flowers give cause to the delightful music of the many colourful birds. May and June is the time to see the raw beauty of the striking bare barks of stripped cork trees in contrast to the palette purple of the jacaranda. July is the time of cherries, strawberries and melons. August and September provide the picking of grapes, figs and almonds. November is for the gathering of chestnuts, whilst in December it is time to start picking the famous sweet juicy Algarve oranges that continue through to March.
