Notes on accommodation
This villa is fully air-conditioned but seems to remain cool enough not to make it necessary. For the winter months there is also a fire place and natural flame gas fire. Although on a golf resort and with the very best views of the golf course, the villa is located such that it is well away from any mis-hit golf balls. Only a few steps from the large heated 28m pool (heated to 26 degrees from Easter - Autumn) and children's pool, this villa is perfect for families with children of any age. Please click on 'Owners Website' below for more information.
Accessibility
This villa has its own covered car port from which wheelchair access could be gained to the rear of the house by going down own step and through the back garden. The house has a downstairs bedroom, toilet and shower. To leave the property on foot or by wheelchair would, however, require going up a steep sloping drive to the road. There are steps leading to/from the front door of the villa.
Outside
The resort offers tennis, soccer, heated indoor pool, spa, gym, restaurant, golf shop, golf clubhouse with bar. There is also a children's playground, golf driving range and golf short game academy. The house is directly opposite the swimming pools: all guests have full use of the 28m pool and the smaller children's pool. The pool area, wonderful for sunbathing, also provides a safe area for kids to bathe and play. Access to the pool area is restricted via key card for only the immediate neighbouring properties. The house has it's own rear garden that is laid to lawn, south facing ground floor patio with dining table chairs and sun furniture. The house also has an upstairs north facing patio that also has dining furniture.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beaches are a 5 minute drive or a very pretty 20 mins walk over the cliffs at the south of the resort. The beaches in this part of the Algarve are particularly fine and many have fabulous beach restaurants right on the sand. The sea is great for bathing and the sand is perfect for sandcastles. Some of the beaches, Beliche and Tonel particularly, are glorious wild and windy, with big surf.
Golf
For golfers, Boavista championship golf course is on the doorstep. This course opened on the 1 January 2002 and was designed by Howard Swan MSc, past president of The European Institute of Golf Course Architects. His objective was to design a course that preserves and integrates with the area's natural terrain. Umbrella pines, almond, fig, palm and olive trees line the rolling fairways making Boavista a beautiful golf course. The golf is challenging and enjoyable and the course has quickly earned the reputation of being amongst the best in in the area. Guests at the villa receive a 25% discount off the green fees and a 10% reduction at the clubhouse. In Lagos is the most picturesque Palmares golf course. There must be in the region of 30 other great courses within an hour's drive, for example, Alto Golf, Morgado, Penina Golf Resort, Villa Sol golf, Salgados Golf, Pinta, Gramacho, Parque da Floresta, Vilamoura, Pinhal, Laguna and Millenium.

Guest comments
'What a delight in finding such lovely, well thought out accommodation. It was comfortable, clean, furnished and equipped to an extremely high standard. In addition the location is ideal if you’re looking for a relaxing holiday or as a point for exploring the area further. You won't be disappointed. AAA+. Many thanks' Mrs Evans, Nottingham, May 2008
'We, my young family and I, had a wonderful holiday in Boavista. The facilities within the resort were terrific for children and adults alike. But most importantly the quality and finish of the accommodation was first class and surpassed all of our expectations. It really was a home away from home and I would highly recommend Claire’s accommodation to friends and family alike. We hope to go back again next year.' Ian, Cork, Ireland June 2009
'Just a quick email to let you know that we had a fantastic holiday. We loved the house; very smart, clean, tidy, well equipped, spacious. Loved the garden and the views.' Helen, June 2011
