Golf
The Algarve is particularly well served with superb golf courses and Clube Golfemar is the perfect venue for the Algarve golfer. Guests at Quinta Pequina will be spoilt for choice with easily reached championship courses to suit all abilities nearby. These include Penina, Vale do Lobo, Alto, Palmares, Pinta and Gramacho.

Owner profile
About the owner
My name is Kate and I am an Events Organiser living in the West Country with my husband, three children and one mad dog! We are a busy and active family - particularly with sports and outdoor activities and pursuits. We travel at least twice a year to Portugal - either with friends or on our own - to escape the unpredictable British weather and play golf, tennis and relax. The Algarve never lets us down. Quinta Pequina is home from home to us and that's the way we like our guests to feel - relaxed, comfortable and completely at home from the moment they step into the villa.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We initially owned a rental property in Vila Golfe Mar but decided to purchase on Club Golfe Mar when building began in order to upgrade to a three bedroom villa with better facilities. We loved the area so much we literally moved across the Vale de Milho Golf Course!Being situated just outside Carvoeiro is perfect. The peaceful location offers a great choice of beaches, restaurants and sporting activities but it is close enough to the town to explore more. The convenience of the small local store 5 mins walk from the villa is a godsend and is well patronized!
Unique benefits of the property
Quinta Pequina's fantastic location close to the pool area is perfect for families. Over the years we have found it particularly helpful to have the villa close by - especially with young children and babies. The large roof terrace has also proved to be a great asset - if only to relax and watch the sun go down! Having a secluded back garden is perfect for sunbathing or playing with small children and the parking spaces outside the front garden make it much easier to unload shopping and suitcases. Our children love Quinta Pequina just as much now as they did when they were young - they just bring more friends with them! We will never tire of the Algarve and as we have many returning guests, year upon year, others appear to agree with us!
