Also Creperie serving coffee, tea and soft drinks, cakes, and also newsagents all within 5 mins drive, or a 15 minute walk from the apartment.

If you have not driven abroad before, fear not as the roads are generally a lot quieter than those in the UK and the driving is really easy and well sign posted.

One pool is located indoors at the hotel, local charge applies and discount with our owners card. The design of this 5* resort has been extremely well planned with beautiful walk ways, palm trees, pools and pretty gardens. Most owners have bought their accommodation as second properties for themselves so the resort is never over crowded, it’s peaceful and tranquil and is the ideal place where the children can enjoy the facilities whilst their parents can relax in comfort and style.
Coast/Beach
The Algarve offers some of the best unspoilt beaches in Europe. Vilamoura is a beautiful area that has been tastefully designed and created, without becoming overdeveloped.

Special interest holidays
Ria Formosa is a UNESCO protected natural wildlife park within a 20 minute car drive. Here you can see birds on their migrating pathway from Africa to Europe, as they stop to rest and refuel by eating shrill and other indigenous foods needed to enable them to carry on on their journey. In Summer and Autumn thousands of Flamingos can be seen as they visit the wetlands at Ria Formosa. We recently hired a sail boat (40 Euros) across the lake and later cycled around the lake (bike hire available) and had a picnic whilst watching the flamingos and egrets across the wetlands, it was a great day out for the family our children loved really the experience. You can sail a hobby cat, wind sail, kayak and also hire a pedalo with a trampoline attached so the children can bounce up and down down in the lake, whilst the parents pedal the boat.
Travel
Faro Airport is only 20 mins drive away and the apartment is easy to find. Use of a car is strongly recommended and car hire is available at Faro Airport. There are taxis available at the airport if you prefer not to drive.
We generally hire a car from the Airport for the week and use it during the daytime and order a taxi from the Hotel (3 minutes walk away) so we can enjoy a drink at the Marina.
There are taxi ranks at the Marina so you do't have to worry about getting back to the apartment.
Distances
Vilamoura is approx 10 mins drive away and there are numerous shops and restaurants around the beautiful marina, which is the largest in Europe and one of the most idyllic. There are Medieval castles that date back to the 10th Century and many picturesque historic lovely towns and fishing villages all within a reasonable driving distance. If you're going out for a special occasion and want a chauffeured driven Mercedes to drop you off and pick you up for a few euros more please ask us.

Guest comments
Our second stay at this apartment, which offers spacious, modern accomodation with contemporary furnishings and all the equipment that you need. The second bedroom is huge with a sofabed should it be required. The complex is very clean and never seems overcrowded. The pool area is spotless. We used the hotel for lunch on several occasions and can recommend the food there although we didn't eat there in the eveing. If you're lucky it is great for celebrity spotting too! Since we first stayed in the apartment a new complex of bars and restuarants had opened up at the entrance of Vila Sol. We used these on a regular basis especially Oscars which provided entertainment on a regular basis and was great to sit and have a drink. There is also a well stocked supermarket and deli in this area too. Best of all though, we really enjoyed sitting on the patio in the evening with a nice glass of vino. We will have no hesitation in using this apartment again in the future!!
House swap
Sorry we love it here in the Algarve too much to consider going anywhere else!
Owner profile
Family time in the sun
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
After many visits to the Algarve we decided to look for a property in 2007. We were attracted to Portugal for many reasons, fantastic restaurants, great climate, clean beaches and streets, low crime rate, friendliness of the Portuguese people and a such a great place spend time with friends and family.
Unique benefits of the property
The property offers good room sizes and a layout that works well for 2 couples sharing, where both partiescan have their own space when needed, such as one couple can be relaxing on the patio whilst the others are having a meal in the dining room. The apartment is located in the Vila Sol golf club grounds and the patio is approx 80 yards behind the 1st tee. Back home we rise at 6.30 am, however in the apartment we close the shutters and wake around 9am +. Our children Olivia 15 & Grace 13 love the apartment. They meet up with other children in the summer months and spend most of the days around the pool areas, playing ping pong in the games room at the Hotel, playing tennis (free of charge with our equipment) or in the sea (skim board, bat and ball, rings and bikes for our guests).
