Travel:
Faro Airport is about a 20 minute drive and costs about 25 euros in a taxi. A hire car is recommended to drive to the shops etc. There are 3 restaurants within a short walk (5 - 10 minutes), and you can walk to the beach and the lake for watersports in a few minutes.
The nearest shopping centre is Quinta Shopping, about 2 miles away. Vale do Lobo is about 6 miles away, as is Almancil the nearest town. Loule, a market town is about 15 miles away. There are 2 small supermarkets quite close to the property - about 10 minutes walk.
Further Details:
There are so many restaurants around the area it would be impossible to list them all, they range from Michelin Star to local pubs. Names, addresses, telephone numbers are all available in the apartment, listed and grid referenced on a map, as are all local businesses, riding stables, doctors etc. These are all shown in a magazine entitled 'Central Algarve' which is under the TV in the living room. Aqua Show (Water Park) is a 20 minute drive away in Quarteira and is highly recommended, as is Zoo Marine which is a bit further down the coast.
