Notes on accommodation
The villa and complex is ideal for families, as the garden and pool areas are safe and have plenty of shade, plus it is only a short walk to the beautiful safe, sandy beach (the beach bar/restaurant is also a superb place for evening family meals - or a family BBQ).
Other benefits for families with children include: Safe enclosed garden (with gates on all exits and a gate at the bottom of the stairs to the roof terrace). Free use of a Cot, High Chair and fold away pram. Plenty of beach toys, buckets, spades, and floats for the pool, plus brollies and wind break for the beach. Plenty of shade in the garden and around the pool area. Shallow toddler pool. A small playground - with swing, slide and sand pit. On-side Childrens Club (local charge applies). Though we do not have air conditioning, we have fans in all the bedrooms, plus all windows have steel shutters or grills, so windows can be safely left open at night, creating a cooling breeze through the villa.
Accessibility
The villa is all on 1 level and the main pool area can be accessed either down 3 steps, or without steps by walking a bit further round. The villa is suitable for guests in a whelchair.
Outside
The villa has its own private garden, large patio and roof terrace. You also have access to many acres of beautiful gardens on the rest of the complex (which is maintained to a very high standard). On the complex you also have access to six different pool areas the nearest of which is 20m away and has a large main pool, a heated smaller pool and a shallow toddlers pool). There are 4 tennis courts, a gym, indoor pool, driving range and a 9 hole golf course. The main bar and restuarant for the complex is next to the main pool - 30m from the villa. Again - see our website (link below) for further details and pictures.
Coast/Beach
The villa is only a short walk from the nearest beach (about 10 mins down a safe and quiete road/track). The beach is clean, safe and has beautiful golden sand (see picture below). There is a new beach cafe, which provides lunches, drinks, ice cream and cold bear etc. It is also open in the evening - and it is a delight to sit with a cold bear watching the sun set - or eating a meal of sardines or tuna steak etc. Kids meals are available - and the kids can play on the beach after the meal.
Golf
The villa is situated on Balaia Golf Village, which has one of the best 9 hole golf courses in the Algarve. Full details of the holes and prices can be found at the complex website. There are also at least ten other full championship courses within easy reach of the villa - including the 5 courses at Villamoura which is only 15 minutes drive away. The reception at Balaia will be happy to book other courses for you and can get you a discount off the green fees.
Travel
The villa is just 30 mins from Faro airport. We can arrange a private transfer from the airport (31 euros for up to 4 people or 49 euros for 4+). ALternatively we can recommend a good car hire company, who will provide the car at the airport, or will deliver it to the villa for you. A hire car is not essential, as everything is within walking distance or a short taxi ride away (there are 3 small supermarkets within 3 minutes walk and a larger one just a mile away - with taxi rank outside.
Distances
The villa is about 15 minutes walk (or 2 mins in taxi) from the small but lively fishing village of Olos de Agua in one direction and an area known as 'the strip' in the other direction. The strip is an area on the outskirts of Albufeira with hundreds of friendly bars and family restuarants. The famous old fishing twn of Albufeira itself is about a mile further on - about 5 minutes in a taxi.

Thanks again for the use of your villa. It is great to find somewhere decent to stay that is close to the beach and the night life. The kids loved playing with all of the other children in the on-site pools and made some good friends. They are alreadfy asking of we can go back again next year - so I will be in touch again soon to sort out some dates.
Thanks again
