Notes on accommodation:
The villa is particularly suitable for children as the pool area is walled with lockable gates. As with a villa in large grounds the pool area, sun terrace and master bedroom terrace offers complete privacy.
The pool is 8m x 4m kidney shaped with underwater lighting set in a large South facing terrace, with ample poolside furniture, sunloungers with comfortable padded covers, parasols and covered terrace for alfresco dining.
Decorative outside lighting and BBQ with ceramic tiled benches and table for the men to provide the cuisine.
Richard and Treasa our managers are very helpful, they know the best places to visit so you will find them on your first week, not on the last as is normally the case!
The Guest book with their comments says it all.
Local Amenities:
The watershoot park in Loule is only 25 Minutes away and is great fun. You can also Swim with the Dolphins at Zoomarine!
We have a number of excellent markets nearby, (a detailed list will be in the villa) where you can pick up some real bargains. On the first Sunday of the month, it is in our local village of Moncarapacho, just a short walk away. There is a daily fish market in the village with plenty of fresh meat, fish fruit and veg.
There is also an interesting car-boot near the beach of Fuzeta where you will find some unusual items.
For those of you who do not want to just stay on the beach or by the pool and want to see more of the original Algarve then a circular drive through Moncarapacho, Estói, Olhão and Tavira is well worth doing. Again with the A22 link this makes a good relaxing half day visit.
Tourist resort towns with entertainment, bars, restaurants and casinos only a 15 - 40 minute drive away (depending which town you would like to visit).
Golf:
Not only has the Algarve the best golfing climate in Europe it also has some of the best courses and facilities.
To the West, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo courses are within 20 minutes of the villa and Vilamoura a further 15 minutes further on.
To the East, Benamor, Quinta de Cima and the Quinta de Ria are within 30 minutes and Castro Marim a further 15 minutes on.
If all you want is a flick, in Moncarapacho there is a new Par 3 course and along our road is a 3 hole, pitch & putt (9 tees) with driving range, chipping areas and putting green and truly superb facilities can be enjoyed by all of the family.
