There is one step down onto the patio from the lounge area.

The built-in BBQ will help you decide to 'eat-in' some evenings. The separate balconies and patio areas with their own tables and chairs are also ideal if you want some time to yourself.
Coast/Beach
This beautifully furnished villa is in a perfect location to be able to enjoy all of the local delights; fish restaurants, cafes and bars whilst being a haven of peace away from any busy roads. Only 3 mins by car are the beaches of Praia De Ana and Praia De Mos, with the villages of Praia de Luz and Salema being only 10 minutes away by car.
Golf
The Algarve is one of Europe’s top resorts for golf. Amarela is in the perfect position to take advantage of 4 of the best: Palmares is only 2 minutes in the car and along with Boavista, Park De Floresta (both 5 minutes) and Alto (10 minutes) they all offer a round with views of the ocean. The challenging Penina championship course nearby often hosts a Portuguese Open tournament.
Special interest holidays
For young visitors there are various water parks with exciting rides for all ages; a zoo in Lagos and a marine zoo that offers the opportunity to swim with dolphins.
Travel
The best airport to fly into is Faro. Direct flights to Faro are from most UK airports. Routes are always being updated and many of the routes are operated by low-cost airlines (EasyJet, BMI Baby, Flybe, Monarch etc). Amarela is approximately 70 miles/1 hour from Faro Airport. It is a very straightforward journey along the A2 motorway exit junction 1 or 2 into Lagos. We recommend booking a car though Carjet for the best deal from Faro airport, or check out the airport website.
Distances
Lagos marina is no more than 1km from Amarela. Lagos town is 1.5km. It's a 15 minute walk, a very short drive (especially if you part at the back of the Marina). It's great to walk down in the evening and take a cheap taxi back to the villa at the end of the night. Local beaches and beautiful villages span the local area. We have maps in the villa with recommendations for beaches, restaurants and interesting places to go.
Booking notes
A non refundable deposit of 20% is required per booking and such payment will reserve the requested time period. The balance of the payment is required six weeks before arrival. Clients can make payments electronically or by cheque; bank details will be made available on request.
Guest comments
'What a wonderful, relaxing stay at Amarela. Furnished immaculately and tastefully. The local beach restaurants were a real find & the area so historic and friendly. Looking forward to coming back next year.' N. Goodwin.
'We returned from Amerela last Friday after a wonderful 12 days in glorious Portugal! We all had a fantastic holiday and really enjoyed staying in your gorgeous villa. The location was perfect for us and we are already thinking about coming back next year. You may hear from us soon! Once again many thanks for sharing your fabulous villa with us.' Tania, Graham and Ben Ross.
'The pool area is great and the villa feels very spacious. Being able to walk to both beach and the town centre is a great plus. Clive was very helpful and kept the pool in tip top condition. I can't think of anything the house needed, it was all there. We sampled plenty of restaurants on the Marina and town centre and they were all good. Vicky Taylor.

About the owner
I work in London but stem from the North West where my roots firmly reside. I lived and worked abroad for several years before heading back to the UK in 2003. I run a small spend management company in Central London with a friend.
I'm married to Nick, a Police Officer and we enjoy anything to do with the countryside and hope one day to leave the city and head back North to a calmer pace of life and some fresh air and space.
I own our lovely villa with friends of mine, Phil and Cath Curran from my home village in the North West and we all enjoy heading over to the villa for our own family holidays at least once/year. I don't enjoy the hot season so much and tend to go at the end of October, November or up until March when the temperatures are lovely but without the strong sun rays.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Phil and Cath had been travelling to Lagos for years and I'd never been before. I'd wanted to invest in a holiday home, as did Phil and Cath, so when I headed out to Lagos, realised how friendly the community was, the type of warm, decent tourists the place attracted, the great food culture at great prices - and not forgetting the number of beautiful towns, villages and variety of beaches along the Algarve coast, I was hooked. It reminded me of Spain from years and years ago with all its charm.
Our villa was a new build when we bought it and it's on a lovely residential 'close' with 69 villas, overlooking the fields and other lovely villas. It's very peaceful and we have such friendly neighbours. It's also so easy to get from Faro airport, in about 45 minutes which makes it hassle free.
Unique benefits of the property
First things first, I drop my suitcase and head straight to the supermarket 2 minutes drive away to stock up on provisions. The fact it's so close is wonderful so once we've stocked up, I can then get my swimming gear on & relax with some lunch, a drink & my book by the pool.
I'm also a stickler for a couple of UK shows - Spooks, Strictly being a couple, so the fact we've got satellite TV means I don't have to miss out whilst on holiday.
We have excellent maid, pool cleaning & gardening services for the villa so it really does feel like a proper break. It really is a villa which fills with sunshine and feels like a total break from the real world.
Restaurants & bars are only 10 mins walk away when you want to head out & about, so there's the best of both worlds on your doorstep.
