Notes on accommodation
Having had this apartment for the past 7 years, we have had many enjoyable family holidays here, both Summer and Winter and, its our opinion that we have pretty much everything here that you would need to help make your holiday as relaxing and enjoyable as possible, from the smallest thing like the lolly moulds to the fluffy white toweling dressing gowns! In July and August we offer our guests a voucher to the value of 50 euros towards a service wash ( non-redeemable). There will be a price list in the apartment, pop your laundry into the bag and take it to reception, it should be ready for you within 24 hrs.

Accessibility
The condominium is gated and requires a key card to enter, therefore safe and secure. The apartment is situated on the second floor, accessed by stairs, therefore we are unable to accommodate wheelchair users.
Outside
Balcony - accessed via patio doors from living room and bedroom, one of only a few with sea views. Table, chairs and parasole, gas BBQ, two wooden steamer chairs; a great place for that private bit of sunbathing or at night to just lie back and look up at a clear sky and count the stars or just sit and watch the sun go down. There is also the advantage of outside lighting.
Coast/Beach
Vale do Lobo beach is a 10 minute walk from the apartment, 3 minutes by car. A stunning blue flag beach with life guards and an abundance of sunbeds for hire. Just walk along the coastline to find your perfect spot, restaurant or water sport.
Golf
There are courses too numerous to mention, most of them have the approval of our son, a golf professional working in Dubai! Arrangements can be made at Jardins de Golf reception.
Special interest holidays
As tennis fans, the tennis academy at Vale Do Lobo is for us. You can arrange for coaching or just book a court where legendary sportsmen such as Borg and MacEnroe have played. There is also a restaurant and pool. Of special interest for tennis fans, there is the Veterans Tournament, usually at the beginning of August. We have been several times and have seen some great tennis played by Le Conte, Cash, Bates to name but a few. Frequented by celebrities, on our last visit my husband found himself rubbing shoulders with Ronan Keating at the bar (I know I should have gone to get the drinks!). Tickets can be purchased in advance at reduced rates. We can give you this information when making your booking.
Travel
The airport in Faro is 20 minutes by car. But, why not fly into Lisbon and drive down through the beautiful Alentajo and be in the Algarve within 2½ hours.
Distances
Faro 15 mins drive with large shopping mall and cinema complex. Almancil 5 mins drive where supermarket Apalonia is great to stock up for a weekly shop. Quinta shopping for bank, cafes and designer shops. Villamoura 20 mins drive, marina, shops and restaurant, tourist office, book day trip to Seville or 4x4 safari/boat trips. Spanish border 45 mins. Pop over for a paella lunch, don't forget the time change! Loule 15 mins by car, excellent local market fresh fish & meat for BBQ worth a visit!
