The house has a spacious front patio area with tables and chairs for dining outside and a private built in BBQ located just outside the kitchen area. The complex itself sits in grounds of mainly grassed areas and is gated for extra privacy.

Coast/Beach
Just 400 meters away is the award winning Falesia Beach with its stunning red rock cliffs and golden sands beach. The longest beach in the Algarve, it offers an excellent choice of facilities including parasols, sunbeds and in high summer there are water sports available. The beach is ideal for walkers and there are a limited number of bars and restaurants but all offering various mouth watering cuisines to suit all tastes including fantastic fresh sea food.

Golf
There are many high quality golf courses within a ten minute drive of the accommodation. The closest is the neighbouring Sheraton Pine Cliffs Golf Course which includes the famous 'Devils Parlour'. Close by are a range of courses at Vilamoura including the Millennium, Laguna, Victoria and Vilamouras' Old Course. There is also a golf academy and driving range.

Travel
Faro airport is just 30km away and is just 40 mins drive to the accommodation. As the Algarve spans a large area with wonderful sights and attractions, car hire is highly recommended to explore, but not essential for this villa as there are a number of good restaurants and bars within walking distance and the beach is a 5-6 minute walk away. Taxis are reasonably priced. Transfers can also be arranged for you if requested.

Distances
An excellent selection of bars and restaurants as well as as a supermarket are located very close to the complex for those not wishing to travel too far. Acoteias village is 1.4Km away - just a few minutes by car or a pleasant walk and has a great selection of very popular bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, internet cafe and a bank. Vilamoura is only a 10 minute drive away with its stunning marina and if in need of some fabulous nightlife - Albufeira is only a 10 minute taxi ride away.

Further details
There are many major attractions for all the family to enjoy including Zoo Marine (where you can swim with the dolphins), horse riding on the beach and some brillant fun filled water parks all within a half hour drive of the house. Locally there is golfing, tennis, horse riding and a sports facility. 2 large shopping centres are 'Algarve Shopping' in Guia and 'The Forum' in Faro just 20-30 minutes by car. The Algarve Shopping, is a large mall which is approx. 15 minutes drive away. Here you will find a variety of shops, a big supermarket, a bowling alley, a multi-screen cinema (most films are in English with Portuguese subtitles) and a food hall. The water parks are within easy reach - Aqualand and Slide & Splash being the most popular. The parks all provide buses that will pick up you up and return locally. If you want to get away from the coast for the day, then a drive to Monchique and Foia (the highest point of the Algarve) is highly recommended. On the way, you could visit the castle in Silves and stop for lunch of chicken Piri-Piri in the small mountain town of Monchique. It will take you less the an hour to get there. Alternative ways of exploring the Algarve are by joining one of the many jeeps that head out each day (high season) to explore the unspoilt Algarve. This is a great day out for the family and will pick up and drop off in the area. As Acoteias is ideally situated between Vilamoura and Albufeira, there are plenty of great boat trips leaving from both Albufeira and Vilamoura marinas everyday. You can choose from a full or a half day and this can often include a trip into the caves and grottoes of the beautiful Algarvian coast line. If you fancy a drive into Spain then the border is only a 50 minute drive and Seville approx 2 hours (depending on traffic). For lots more information on exploring and enjoying the Algarve there is an Information Book in the house for your use.

Guest comments
Just finished an amazing week here in Acoteias, very peaceful and weather was fabulous. The Villa - what a beautiful house - has everything I needed, very comfortable - just did not have enough time here to really appreciate it. The restaurants in the square are great and very reasonably priced. The local supermercado is very convenient and and has everything you need. I had a fantastic holiday here - a big Thank You From Sarah Ireland.

Firstly a big Thank you for letting us rent this beautiful house. We thought the house had everything and it was a very comfortable stay. The area itself is fantastic, not overrun with masses of other tourists. Totally unspoilt and hope it remains so from Tony & Caroline.

We had a lovely time. The house was just super, with all the home comforts - actually better than my house!! It was the perfect place to chill out. It is just so brilliantly located with everything there if you want it or you can just chill from the Jones Family Mid Wales.
