Accessibility

Outside
Set within 5 acres, totally private, peaceful paradise, great to get away from it all! The birds will come and the goats will pass by in the neighbouring fields. Stress free. Round 8 metre pool with magnificent views, all one level so no deep end, much better for pool games and relaxing. Please note that the pool is open to enjoy the views and there is no surrounding walls which would spoil the effect. Lots of space to sunbathe by the pool with different areas for sun or shade, really beautiful. So if you would like everything close by and yet be away from it all this is the place to be. Owners also live on this country estate.
Cottage and Villa share pool. For beach lovers...6 minute drive to lots of beaches ...everyone different all fabulous and so near!

Coast/Beach
Quiet coves, caves and immense sandy beaches 6 min drive.
We really do have the best beaches so near...You could go to a different one everyday...absolute bliss.
We have travelled world wide and have now lived here in Portugal for many years , we spend our summers on the beaches, all close by, many "blue flag" and not so crowded as more central ones. Coastal walks, romantic restaurants and water sports...
why go anywhere else?

Golf
With Guia being so central it is an ideal base for golf enthusiasts. Most of the famous courses both east and west are within a 30 minute drive allowing for a superb variety of year-round golfing. Salgados, Silves and Gramacho are about a 10-15 minute drive. Salgados is located in the middle of a lovely nature reserve, so has plenty of natural lagoon water hazards to negotiate. Carvoeiro (2 courses) and Penina (3) are 15-25 minutes' drive west and the 11 international courses at Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago, and Vale de Lobo are about 25 minutes' drive east. The new luxury Amendoeira golf resort with 2 championship courses designed by Nick Faldo and Christie O’Connor is about a 10 minute drive from Guia.

Guest comments
In our comments book, Chris & Danny said..
What a privilege to share this beautiful part of the world with such a lovely family. You really added a personal touch to our holiday and you will forever be in our "Portugal Story". The villa is quaint and has so much character that it really starts feeling like home. This little spot was a big surprise and we are blessed to have found it. Thanks for all the small things that you did to make us feel like royalty. Your place beats any 5 star accommodation by far!
Honeymooners....
Lauren & Sloan....You have really created something special here....Your hearts are clearly in every detail. This place exudes romance and peacefulness and and we loved having it to come "home" to after our daily excursions. From Gonzalo's art on the wall to your charmingly rustic bathrooms. You have inspired us to create a similar life for ourselves. We can't wait to come back and visit you again next year for our 1st anniversary.
