Special interest holidays
There are plenty of opportunities to play tennis in Vale Do Lobo there are 2 tennis courts in Jardins and a practice court. In Tennis Valley VdL there are professionals on hand to help you improve any aspect of your game, regular lessons can be arranged (fee payable). There is good bird watching options in the Ria Formosa with covered areas for watchers (or are you twitchers?) This is about 10 minutes drive away. The inlets and lagoons of the Ria Formosa are well worth a day trip on a boat. The sand dunes from Vale do Lobo back towards Faro are fabulous for wildlife spotting. From Vale do Lobo you could (if you felt energetic) actually walk for over 20 miles of beach it is a easy, flat walk along the lagoons and beach and well worth a days exercise.
Travel
It is not necessary to have a car, but, I would recommend car hire in winter to give you the flexibility to explore the Algarve.
I can arrange car hire for you at very competitive rates, please email me for the rate card. I can also arrange a personal meet and greet service from/to the airport the price includes childrens car seats.
If you prefer to hire a public taxi it costs approx 25 euros from the airport to Jardins.
Distances
Faro town is a 15 min drive there is a large shopping centre that offers good facilties. Most tours offer a pickup/drop off bus service from VdL to the attractions. Options include horse riding, fishing, yachting/sailing, shark, dolphin watching, 4x4 safari tours and Cultural visits. There is also an Aqua Park and a Swim with Dolphin experience (30 mins drive). In the apartment is a well stocked folder with all the details of the attractions so you can read at leisure and book you choices
Further details
It is a 2 min walk to the very well stocked local supermarket / off licence and cash point and Medical Centre, It is a 10 minute walk to Barringtons Health Club and Tennis Academy. The Praca which is the nightlife/beach front area of Vale do Lobo is less than a 15 minute walk - the Penguin Childrens Club is here and Vale do Lobo Beach. At the Praca there are numerous restaurants, bars, cafe, newsagent, real estate agent and a night club. Free live entertainment nightly during summer.
Parque Do Golfe which is the Reception for the Royal and Ocean golf courses is a 5 min stroll from the apartment there are also many shops including beauty centre, a most wonderful health spa (can vouch from experience), hairdresser, cash point, Hertz, post office and newsagent selling daily English newspapers and magazines also a cafe and a bar. The bus stop to over 25 destinations along the Algarve (and to and from the airport) also departs from outside the Medical Centre.
About 3/4 mile down the main road into Vale Do Lobo are another good selection of restaurants including the Sao Gabriel - a Michelin star restaurant and the Thai Garden restaurant also highly recommended. The Quinta da Lago Shopping Centre is about 2 mile down the road, here there are many exclusive designers shops and some lovely restaurants/cafes. There is also a Italian restaurant that delivers pizza and pasta (and a bottle of wine) to the apartment... the menu is in the folder...for those nights that you just can't be bothered to cook.
During your stay if you have any problems or require assistance I have a 'right hand man' who speaks perfect English, he can help you with anything you need - even changing a light bulb or medical assistance if required. This ensures everything about your holiday will go smoothly.
