Owner profile
About the owner
Graham and Andrea have been coming to the Guia, Albufeira area for the last 12 years and we have owned property there since 2003. In July 2009 we moved permanently to the Algarve with our two youngest children and live close to Casa Sophia. We know the area extremely well and are very happy to spend time with our guests on the telephone explaining places to visit, restaurants to eat at etc. Casa Sophia is beautifully furnished and we pride ourselves on presenting the property to a high standard. We can also help with car hire. Please give us a call on our UK number and we will do everything we can to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Casa Sophia was new when we bought it 4 years ago. The property is in the village of Guia which we love because it retains a local feel whilst having a good range of family friendly restaurants. Guia is in the middle of the Algarve and ideally situated for the fantastic beaches and other attractions like the sand sculptures and Zoomarine both of which are only 5 minutes away. The house is in a quiet road and we have nice neighbours around the property. Cliff Richard's Algarve house is stone's throw away from the house and you can visit his vineyard in Guia. For golfers there are 30 courses within 30 minutes of the house so plenty of choice.
Unique benefits of the property
Our house is very well equipped and all rooms are air-conditioned (included in the price) which is a must in the summer. The pool is very private and there are plenty of places to sunbathe and shelter when it is too hot. We also have lots of terraces which are very pleasant for meals especially in the evenings. The house is in a quiet location but the bright lights of Albufeira are very close and a walk into Guia to enjoy the restaurants there takes only 10 minutes.
