SPORTS:
GOLF - There are several top Eastern Algarve golf courses within a 10-15 minute drive - the magnificent new Monte Rei (Jack Nicklaus) and Quinta do Vale (Seve Ballesteros) courses, Quinta da Cima & Quinta da Ria, Castro Marim and Benamor, plus a further 6 or 7 Spanish courses just over the border. The courses generally cost substantially less than the rest of the Algarve (apart from Monte Rei) and we can help with arrangements for discounted green fees before your trip. We can also arrange for the hire of ladies' and gentlemen's golf clubs - please ask us for further details.
ATHLETICS, TENNIS, SOCCER etc - The fabulous new Olympic-training approved Sports & Athletics Centre located between Vila Real do SA and Monte Gordo has a huge Stadium for track & field, soccer, archery and a gymnasium. There is also an Indoor Sports Hall offering unique facilities for practice and training, with synthetic athletic tracks, jumping pits, facilities for field sports and a large Tennis Centre
General assistance:
We can help with car hire or, if you have too much luggage to fit in to your hire car at the airport, we can arrange to meet you or your luggage! We can take you, or some of your party, to specific places whilst you are staying at Casa Emilia and can make suggestions for places to visit. We can also arrange to hire cots and highchairs for babies and toddlers.
Beaches.:
Praia Verde, the nearest beach at 3km, is a wonderful, unspoilt area of long, wide white sands. It has a lovely beach restaurant, open from February to November, and dinner under the stars on a summer's evening is a great experience. There are many, lovely beaches in the vicinity and it is possible to walk for miles along the sands of the Atlantic coastline - stopping for refreshments at the various cafes, bars and restaurants located right on the beach.
