Photos and Description of this Vila do Bispo holiday villa Lovely renovated farmhouse, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, bar, jacuzzi & sauna.

This luxurious, secluded villa, an extensively & beautifully refurbished moorish farmhouse with jacuzzi and sauna, nestles among pine woods in the quiet uplands of the conservation area near the south western tip of the Algarve, where the fragrance of pine, eucalyptus and mimosa pervades the air. It is an ideal retreat for walkers, nature-lovers, naturalists and those wanting a self-catering peaceful, romantic holiday. Just 2kms away is the small town of Vila do Bispo with its narrow winding streets and whitewashed cottages. Sit back and watch the local lifestyle over a beer or meal in one of its excellent restaurants, cafes or bars. Walk along or relax on one of the many uncrowded beaches within a short drive on both coasts. For the more energetic you can take a walk or cycle ride through the beautiful countryside of the National Park to the coast. Other old, rural villages dot the area, which are rich in historic sites, traditional restaurants and long, uncrowded, sandy beaches.

Further details for this holiday villa rental in Vila do Bispo, Portugal

Quinta Rosano is a lovely spacious villa set in peaceful surroundings away from the bustle of 21st century life. It is a paradise for nature lovers, ornithologists, walkers and family groups alike, yet it is within easy reach of towns and villages with shops, bars and many beautiful, uncrowded beaches. The local Portuguese are very friendly, making everyone welcome which, combined with the warm climate and excellent food and drink, make a very pleasant holiday. A car is highly recommended. Nearest airport: Faro-100 kms or 90 minutes drive. It is also a very pleasant drive from Lisbon - 300 kms or 3 hours away.

Activities: A wide range of holiday activities are within half an hour's drive the property. It is only an hour away from the mountains of Monchique and fabulous views of the Algarve. Many traditional handicrafts come from this area. Four top golf courses are located nearby - see golf section below. Scuba diving, dolphin and deep sea fishing excursions, and trips by traditional sailing boats to the famous grottoes of Ponta de Piedade are available in Lagos. Jeep safaris to the mountains of Monchique have local pick-up points and there are some fabulous beaches to explore on both the southern and west coasts of the Algarve. Horse riding is also available locally. You can even swim with dolphins at Zoomarine. The sunset on a clear night at Cape St Vincente, Europe's most South Westerly point can be a fabulous experience.

Spoil yourself: How About The Ultimate Holiday Experience? We can arrange a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce to take you for a special day out. Or perhaps you have a birthday or anniversary and want to arrive in style. Spoil yourself with a little extra luxury. Book a beauty or massage treatment at the local Spa. Alternatively we may be able to arrange a therapist to visit and treat you at the villa. Adventurous? Want to see the best views of the spectacular western Algarve coastline? We can arrange a flight experience if you would like something special to remember the holiday by. You can even take home a film of your flight! A wide range of flight training courses are also available from the Algarve Airsports Centre which is the longest CAA approved flying school based abroad at Lagos Aerodrome.

Other Activities: Birdwatching, microlighting, paragliding, dolphin boat trips, sightseeing and a small zoo.

Quinta Rosana - wonderful holiday

sjones Saffron Walden, Essex, UK
Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
We have had a really wonderful relaxing time in this peaceful retreat. we have never visited the Western Algarve before but now prefer it to the Eastern side which is much busier. Karen was pleasant and very helpful. The property was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We thought we'd miss not having a swimming pool but the local beaches are very easy to get to and beautifully sandy and unspoilt with beach bars offering great food.
