Outside
The suite's large and secluded south facing balcony is a wonderful spot for sunbathing, dining or simply relaxing, sipping a drink, whilst watching the old fishermen trading tales from the high seas on "The Square" or bringing home their catch of the day. It is very private, benefits from the sun from early-morning until late afternoon and is equipped with wooden outdoor table and chairs. The second and even larger terrace at the back of the apartment is completely walled-in and therefore ideal as a children’s playground. It benefits from the sun from early-morning almost all day long. There is a children’s playground just across the street. Furthermore the apartment comprises an indoor parking lot, elevator, RC- gate and video entry.
Coast/Beach
The beaches around Ferragudo are amongst the most beautiful in the Algarve. You’ll find the nearest beach (Praia Angrinha) next to the rather amazing fort of Sao Joao de Arade. Within a 5-10 mins drive/walk are other family friendly beaches such as Praia Grande (our favorite) and Praia do Pintadinho. They are worth exploring, either by car or by foot. You'll find signposts for the beaches and several bar-restaurants as you travel around in case you want to stop for a drink or something to eat.
Golf
In the area of Ferragudo you will find one of the longest golf courses in the region, the Morgado golf course. This 18-hole course has a 5 Par 5 Holes, 9 Par 4s and 4 Par 3s. The 18-holes Alamos golf course opened just recently which makes it one of the newest in the Algarve. Just 10 minutes drive from the apartment is the famous Penina course, this is the master work of legendary golfer Henry Cotton and was the first course to grace the Algarve. This Championship course, 5 times host to the Portuguese Open, is an 18 hole par 73. There are more excellent golf courses nearby with two more courses due to be opened in September 2008. One course has been designed by Nick Faldo and the other by Christy O'connor Jnr. so new challenges to conquer! You won't miss out if tennis is your game either as there is Carvoeiro Clube de Ténis at Sesmarias which is conveniently positioned between Ferragudo and Carvoeiro (10 mins).
Travel
The nearest airport is Faro at around 60km. One can reach Ferragudo by motorway from Faro in about 40 mins. Although car hire is not necessary as both town and beach are within easy walking distance, a car is recommended, as there is so much to see and do in the Algarve. We employ the services of a reputable local company for both car hire and reliable airport transfers. Please email us with your requirements.
Distances
There is a children’s playground just across the street, and an international bank (cash-machine) within the condominium. 5 mins drive from the apartment you’ll find 2 good supermarkets where you’ll find everything you need. There are lots of places to explore close to hand. The historic town of Silves really is worth a look (20 mins), the centre of Carvoeiro, a popular family holiday village is 15 mins away and don't miss Lagos, one of the most attractive towns in the Algarve (20 mins).
Further details
Ferragudo on your doorstep can be described as "the real Portugal" and has actually been tipped to be one of the Algarve’s new hot spots! (algarveuncovered.com). One of the last remaining unspoilt fishing villages, Ferragudo enjoys all the traditions that the Algarve has to offer. Behind the Square in Ferragudo, 1 minute walk from your suite, lies a labyrinth of old cobbled alleyways, packed with traditional and modern shops, where you’ll find cafes, restaurants and bars catering for all tastes. Whether sitting having a drink on your balcony whilst watching the fishermen’s activities, or simply relaxing on the un-crowded golden beaches, Ferragudo offers a peaceful haven from the stresses of modern life. At night the old town comes alive with occasionally open-air entertainment.
A selection of fine seafood restaurants line the Ferragudo harbour front often visited by the rich and famous who moor up their boats in the harbour and "pop in" for a spot of lunch. Here you can watch your chosen seafood prepared and cooked on an open barbeque whilst watching the local fishermen bringing home their catch of the day. These restaurants are situated in a super position to sit and watch the beautiful evening sunset over Portimao whilst enjoying a glass of chilled local wine.
If all that isn't enough to keep you busy then there are lots of fun activities that will keep families of all ages entertained close to hand. The calm waters of the river are particularly good for windsurfing and other water sports. The water park, Slide and Splash, is in Lagoa - just 10min away and Zoomarine near Albufeira isn't far either (20min). It has outdoor pools as well as the dolphins, sea-lions and birds of prey shows. Portimão Marina < 15 min by foot+water-taxi leaving from the Ferragudo harbour front (or 15 min by car). It then is a 5 min walk into Praia da Rocha a bustling holiday resort in its own right with a fantastic beach, plenty of places to wine and dine or party until late.
