Townhouse for holidays in Vale do Garrao, Nr. Vale do Lobo / Quinta do Lago, Algarve
Renovated Townhouse with Jacuzzi
Perfect Location, 10 minute walk to the Beach
Sleeps up to 9 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
Vale do Garrao is ideally situated midway between Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago, being just 2km from each and only a 10 minute walk (800m) from the beautiful sandy beaches of Ancao and Garrao. The resort is set in over 70 acres of African pine forest and orange groves that run gently down to a magnificent beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Completely renovated to a high specification over a six month period and finished in April 2008, our second home has been fully upgraded to modern standards, whilst retaining a comfortable and homely, Portuguese influence. Totally re-plumbed, re-wired, new bathrooms, kitchen, appliances, furnishings and fully re-decorated and tiled, we’re sure you'll agree we have created a five star home. We’ve also added an external Hot Tub/Jacuzzi with decking and a barbeque area to enhance the private outdoor space. Within a five minute walk there is a large communal swimming pool, snack bar, tennis courts, spa, gym and a small park with kiddies playground.
