Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
Our delightful 3 bedroom villa is located in a private peaceful and exclusive condominium, consisting of an imaginative meld of cluster villas and apartments, constructed in elegant and romantic Moorish style. The idyllic gardens have a tropical theme and are immaculately maintained. The villa is light and spacious with the living and sleeping accommodation arranged on separate levels, all of which is furnished and equipped to a high standard reflecting its use as our holiday home too. You may care to relax on one of the two spacious terraces whilst enjoying a view of the pretty Vale do Milho golf course, or take a swim in the secluded communal pool. All this and yet our villa is situated only a few minutes drive from the old fishing village of Carvoeiro with its beach, plentiful shops, varied restaurants and lively nightlife. It is a mere 15 minute drive to the golf courses of Gramacho and Pinta and the picturesque cove and beach at Centiannes is but a 10 minute walk away.

Outside
Our villa has a spacious upper terrace, off the lounge and dining room, with table and chairs to comfortably seat 6. There are 4 sun loungers with cushions and an occasional table. The terrace is equipped with electric awnings to provide welcome shade during Portugal's hot, sun-filled days whilst at night there is generous lighting by which to enjoy the balmy evenings. There is also a lower terrace and small garden area equipped with table, chairs, parasol and BBQ, from where it is a short stroll to the tropical setting of the communal pool.
Coast/Beach
The Algarve boasts a wealth of beautiful beaches, the nearest being at Centianes, approx 10 mins walk away. A short car trip will take you to the beaches at Carvoeiro (from here boat trips can be taken to local beaches or to view the spectacular rock formations at nearby Algar Seco and otherwise inaccessible coves and beaches passing caves and blow holes on the way), Albandeira, Marinha and Benagil. The beaches of Albufeira and Praia Grande at Feragudo offer water sports facilities.
Golf
The Algarve is, of course, renowned for golf and hence can boast some of the best courses available. The closest is Vale de Milho which is a surprisingly challenging nine hole course ideal for short iron practice and for combining a little golf with a family holiday or non-playing partner! Pinta and Gramacho at the Pestana complex are approximately fifteen minutes drive away. Whilst guests are entitled to discounted green fees at each of these three courses, there are many other courses to choose from that can be reached by car in under an hour.
Travel
Our villa is just a 45 min drive from Faro Airport. To make the most of your stay in the Algarve we would recommend that you hire a car about which we are happy to provide information. If you prefer not to drive from the airport yourself, then the Vale de Milho golf course operates an airport transfer service and then you can arrange your car hire locally if you prefer. For those evenings out, a taxi between nearby Carvoeiro and our villa costs about 5 euros each way.
Distances
For more ambitious excursions, Cape St Vincent and the fort at Sagres is the most westerly land fall of continental Europe and can be reached by car in approx 1½ hour via the recently extended trunk road passing through countryside of the Western Algarve not previously seen by tourists. The rugged western coast is popular with surfers and, even in mid summer, is relatively uncrowded. The Guadiana River forms the Eastern border with Spain which can also be reached easily court
Further details
Along the N125 towards Porches, known for its potteries and ceramics studios, there is an equestrian centre for those interested in horse riding. There are several water theme parks including Zoomarine where it is possible to swim with Dolphins. The peace and tranquility of the Monchique Mountains, forests of pine trees and cork oaks, is only a short drive via the pretty mountain village of Caldas de Monchique, source of the local bottled water. The ancient Moorish walled town of Silves with its fort, archaeological museum and Saturday morning market makes an interesting inland excursion. Silves is also home to the atmospheric sea-food restaurant Marisqueira Rui which enjoys a reputation, with tourists and local people alike, as being one of the Algarve’s best!

Guest comments
‘The villa is great - the best self catering accommodation we have stayed in - very well equipped and nice not to have all the usual mismatched castoffs that you seem to find in holiday homes’
‘The best holiday we've ever had - the villa was home from home and with loads of storage space. We will definitely recommend it’
