Accommodation

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 - October) and children's pool, this villa is perfect for families with children of any age.

Amenities/Facilities provided

Accessibility
This villa has its own covered car port from which wheelchair access can be gained to the front of the house and around to the rear garden. The house has a downstairs bedroom, toilet and bathroom. To leave the property on foot or by wheelchair would, however, require walking up a sloping drive to the road.

Outside
The resort offers tennis, soccer, heated indoor pool, spa, gym, restaurant, shop, golf clubhouse and bar. There is also a great 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 a private 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 usually have fabulous beach restaurants right on them. 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 20% 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.
