Owner profile
April 2005 - a typical day out at a local beach
About the owner
We are a married couple with two teenage boys who have all been fans of the Algarve since our very first visit over twenty years ago. We have been holidaying in the Western Algarve several times a year for almost a decade now and never tire of it. In June 2011 we toured Spain and Portugal taking in 8 cities and 2500 kilometers of driving and we have to say that the best three days we had were in the Algarve. In terms of climate, atmosphere and cuisine it was just unbeatable.
Barcelona was spectacular but incredibly busy. Seville was awesome, but unbearably hot. Cuenca was breathtaking but the cuisine was questionable. Toledo was interesting, but mostly closed. The Western Algarve was beautiful, the weather perfect and the local cuisine could not be matched - anywhere.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
As keen golfers, swimmers and walkers - the Algarve is unbeatable. The Western Algarve is particularly friendly, remarkably green and far from the madding crowds of the resorts near Faro. PdF is a fantastic Golf Resort with loads of other facilities for families and golfers alike.
Salema - a fishing village just 5 minutes away by car - has a perfect beach, three or four excellent restaurants and a great little cocktail bar - sometimes that's all you need!
Unique benefits of the property
The house is really close to Budens village so many amenities are a short walk away and properly Portuguese, plus the added benefit of a large international supermarket. The view from the balcony is a real time waster. You can happily just sit for hours looking over local farmland, the village and the rolling hills to the Atlantic Ocean. The warm sunshine is perfectly tempered by the cooling Atlantic breezes.
