Owner profile
About the owner
Brian Kilcline, thats me. A former professional footballer with Notts County, Coventry City and Newcastle Utd. You'll more likely find me picking carobs now or shaking olives out of the trees than kicking a football. Lynn, my wife can often be found painting, pictures, walls and occasionally both together. We both like gardening, well I get to dig the holes and carry heavy stuff while Lynn does the fancy bits, but I have been told I enjoy it!
Its lovely here in the countryside and it looks particularly beautiful in spring and late summer. The beaches are glorious too, the jewel in the crown has to be the best kept secret of the Algarve, Isla Armona, 15mins and a short ferry ride away from us.
I love swimming in the sea and we have a kayak so often take that out. Never a dull moment.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought the property as a renovation project and it was certainly a learning curve. We realised very quickly how lucky we had been in our choice, not for the obvious reasons of the property potential but its proximity to sea, airport and shops whilst maintaining a countryside feel. We are relatively easy to find and access is off a main tarmac road onto a concrete flat top, that is a tremendous advantage both for your vehicle and in the winter. We can be at the village bakery in 5mins. International supermarket in 10mins and paddling in the sea in 15 mins. All that and a beautiful garden and panoramic views of the countryside. Can't be bad! We decided to put our little adjoining cottage on the rental market 2 years ago it was a shame not to let others enjoy what we have.
Unique benefits of the property
Along with everyone who has stayed with us, family and guests alike, the main reaction is 'the peace, its so relaxing.' We feel that way too. Some people never leave the garden even when we supply endless possibilities of events, scenic attractions or restaurants. Then there is 'the bar', at the bottom of our drive. We were too shy to go in at first. Speaking no Portuguese and clearly a meeting place for neighbours we felt really out of place. How could we have been so daft? Owners Joaquim and Vivalinda and all the locals are smashing. Always a welcome smile and tip of the hat regardless of language ability. Joaquim ready with the jump leads and the tractor when the car won't start. If you forget the milk or eggs there is a little store in the back with all sorts. Beer at 75c beat that!
