Outside
A large traditional cobbled area surrounds the safety fenced pool making the area safe for children to enjoy without the worry of them falling in the pool. The pool is approximately 20 ft by 11 ft with shallow end approx 2/3ft deep and the other end approx 5 ft. A teak table and 6 chairs are provided in addition to the 6 sunloungers. There are roofs extending from the house to provide shaded areas to eat outside the kitchen and livingroom areas.
Coast/Beach
The beach in Burgau is only 4 minutes walk down the hill. The beachbar is highly recommended for lunch or dinner and they rent sunloungers and shaded palms. There is another beach about 1 km out a country/national park road/ track which is lovely to walk to and gather the flowers and observe the wildlife as you go.
Golf
Boavista golf, the impressive 18 hold championship golf course, with spectacular scenery of views of Lagos bay and Monchique Mountains is only 3-4 km east. Parque da Floresta 18 hole championship golf course, with breathtaking views over the National park is only 4-5 km west. Palmares overlooks Lagos and Penina is only a short drive away (20 mins) to the east of Lagos. Many other golf courses thoughout the Central and Eastern Algarve are within an hours drive on the motorway.
Travel
Faro airport is less than 1 hour drive from Burgau and the A22 motorway makes this an easy drive. Car hire is recommended (Luzcars are usually the best deal) to take full advantage of the beautiful countryside and deserted beaches. However, there is a regular bus service to Luz and Lagos. From Lagos there are bus and rail connections to Faro and other towns on Algarve, the rest of Portugal and even to towns in Spain such as Seville. Taxis are inexpensive and airport transfers can be arranged.
Distances
The villa is in Burgau but Praia de Luz is a few minute drive to the east and Lagos (the nearest large town) is a 10 min drive. To the west Sagres is less than 20 minute drive which is ideal for windsurfing/kiting enthusiasts. The area is steeped in history and provides a fantastic base for anyone who enjoys learning about Portuguese history.
Further details
There are shops, supermarkets, restaurants and pubs in the village. The Burgau sports centre has a pool, tennis courts, playground and other activities for adults and children. There is a new large municipal pool just open in Lagos close to the marina.
There is an ATM in the village and many others in Lagos. There are more restaurants, shops, pharmacy etc in Luz. LUZDOC provide a 24 hour medical service in Luz with English speaking doctors who are highly qualified and efficient. There are excellent hospitals in Lagos. Many medicines that normally need prescriptions at home are over the counter in Portugal and most pharmacists speak very good English and are helpful. Lagos has hundreds of restaurants so you are spoilt for choice. If you are feeling very ambitious you can always go to the market in Lagos and pick out your own fresh fish for the grill. However, any of the 3 main supermarkets in Lagos provide a huge array of fish and meat. Most have English cheddar and ham at the counter for a quick lunch.
