Notes on prices
Prices are for the property per week in UK pounds.
As the villa is always fully booked we regret that no discounts are offered.

Changeover day
Changeover day at Casa Jakatina is normally Saturday and bookings are taken for full weeks only. However in the quiet season, November to the end of March we are happy to consider alternative arrangements.

Accommodation

Notes on accommodation
The villa is named after our three children Jason, Katy and Tina. We bought the land a number of years ago and had the villa designed and built by Portuguese locals. It is built in typical Algarvian style with particular attention being paid to its position near the beach. All three bedrooms have patio doors to the pool terrace or private balcony and from the roof terrace there are extensive sea views.
In the lounge there is a large log fire and in the winter we provide a stock of wood. Background heating and fans are provide in the lounge, dining room and all three bedrooms. However, if required, air-conditioning is available as an optional extra. This has been installed in the lounge and the three bedrooms and provides instant warm air in the winter as well as cool air in the summer.
The villa has been built with our eight grandchildren very much in mind and as such it is extremely suitable for family holidays.

Amenities/Facilities provided

Accessibility
The villa has not been specifically adapted for wheelchair users but there are only several small steps to negotiate.

Outside
The swimming pool is a substantial 11x5ms with a cold outdoor shower. There is a heat pump and for additional charge you can enjoy warm water all year round. The gardens are fully landscaped. At the front of the villa there is a dining table and 6 chairs (will easily take 8) and there is a choice of 7 loungers with comfortable mattresses. At the rear is a separate terraced area adjacent to the kitchen with a circular granite dining table, six chairs and a floodlit fountain. This is particularly useful if you wish to escape from the sun and sea breezes.
On the first floor balcony thre is a further table and four chairs and on the roof terrace there is a pergola and yet more outdoor furniture to enable you to take advantage of the superb views and the late evening sun. A brick built BBQ provides the opportunity to sample your skills at grilling the fresh fish available at the fish market in Albufeira.

Coast/Beach
The local beach, Praia da Coelha, is absolutely beautiful being relatively small and surrounded by cliffs and interesting rock formations. The cliffs themselves are unspoilt and you can go for short or long walks to other local beaches and beach bars in both directions.
Coelha beach has its own small beach bar run by Joachim and his son Louis. The meals are simple but tasty with Joachim buying fresh from the local market every morning.

Golf
The nearest golf course is Salgados about five minutes drive. However the villa is ideally situated to enable you to travel to several golf couses with 30 minutes drive including Penina, Gramacho and the Vilamoura courses. There is a map of all golf courses and contact numbers at the villa and most will provide excellent deals on green fees if you book ahead via the internet.

Travel
The nearest airport is Faro, about 35mins drive. It is a very easy drive mainly on motorway and full directions are provided. Details of recommended car hire are available on request.
If you prefer we can arrange airport transfer to and from the villa at around €45 each way.

Distances
The villa is in a quiet rural location although there are three minimarkets within very easy walking distance. There are also several excellent restaurants within walking/staggering distance and a map of these with recommendations and telephone numbers are provided.

Albufeira is about 3km away and is walkable if you are a keen hiker and you can always get a bus or taxi back to the villa.
Essentially the villa is so well positioned that a car is not essential.

Further details
There is a very upmarket Swiss development to the right front of the villa called Hapimag. Hapimag has a shop with a delicatessen which also sells British newspapers. There is also a hole in the wall. You are welcome to use the restaurant which often has special evenings with entertainment. Quality is excellent. Hapimag has two tennis courts, which you can see from the villa and the courts plus all the necessary equipment are available to hire from reception.
Normally the day after arrival clients will be visited by our local agent, Tracey Westacott. She will answer any questions you have to raise and will act as an emergency contact if required. There is a folder in the villa giving details of local english speaking doctors, clinics etc.

Booking notes
On receipt of your firm enquiry you will be sent a booking form by e-mail. This will request full details and a 20% deposit. The balance is due 8 weeks before the date of first date of the holiday.
