Photos and Description of this Rio Seco holiday villa Unspoilt, rural, sleeps 8, terraces, BBQ, restaurant/bar in village, 7kms beach.

Beautiful, spacious villa in rolling hills and set in 4 acres looking south west down a valley studded with carob and olive trees, carpeted with wild flowers in Spring. This wonderfully peaceful location is only 7km from some of the finest beaches in the Algarve, close to the lovely towns of Castro Marim (5km) and Vila Real (7km). Spain is 10 mins by car and Seville 90 minutes.The glorious River Guadiana and its valley is close by and a drive north takes you to the small towns, vineyards & cork oaks of the Alentejo. Monte Gordo with its lively nightlife and casino is on the nearby coast, The villa is very well situated for those wishing to explore; or you may prefer to laze by the solar heated pool and to soak up the views from the various terraces, or shaded decking area where the main BBQ is placed. Surrounded by open countryside, our neighbour still farms with a mule and plough. The salt marshes around Castro Marim are renowned for birdwatching.2 fine golf courses are within 8km.

This part of the Algarve has uncrowded sandy beaches which are safe & clean. One of the loveliest stretches is at Praia Verde (7kms) with beach restaurants. Take a trip on the beautiful Guadiana river, or alongside on the stunning twisting road to Alcoutim where a small ferry will take you for tapas in Spain. Vila Real also has a ferry to Ayamonte in Spain where the nightlife is more boisterous. Villa Real has a fine marina & central square, is full of cafes, is famous for its towels and tablecloths and has an excellent market with freshly caught fish. There is an impressive sports complex, including tennis courts.Castro Marim lives in the past with its 2 castles,fine church & cafes. Sit here to watch the world go by slowly. East of Tavira sees more Portuguese than British tourists and prices are generally lower. The course at Castro Marim (5kms) is particularly good value. Our land is brilliant for birdwatchers; hoopoes,azure winged magpies, woodchat shrikes & many others all visit

Lovely place to stay

NellW West London
Review Submitted: April 24, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
The villa is huge and has fantastic facilities. The kids get their own 'den' (the games room) and adults the sitting/dining room. The setting is beautiful - acres of land, view to die for, birds and wild flowers in the Spring. Really impressed and hope to return one day.
