Notes on accommodation
The villa is designed to allow access to the pool area from most of the house, the pool is not gated or fenced, it is therefore very important that full responsibility is taken for small children and non swimmers. There are also staircases to the first floor and to the basement without gates and a gated set of stairs behind the BBq down to the pool service area.
Winter Bookings will require a heating surcharge.
Accessibility
Good wheelchair access. My mother who is wheelchair bound has visited the villa frequently and stayed in the ground floor bedroom with access to the terrace. It is possible to reach the pool area via the garden.
Outside
The salt water swimming pool is 10 x 5m with a 8ft deep end, around the pool is ample space for sunbeds and sunshades. There is an outside shower. The BBQ has work surfaces either side and there is a teak table and chairs for up to 10. The kitchen is linked to the BBQ area by a decking walkway. We have a lemon tree that supplies us with fresh lemons throughout the year and glorious colourful bourganvillias. The terrace has a shaded area with table and chairs where you can sit and listen to music through the outside speakers and enjoy a chilled glass of vino branco. T
Coast/Beach
The villa is within 25 minutes walking or 5 minutes drive from San Lourenco Beach, Sao Raphael, Castella, Coehla, Everisto and the 6 mile sandy beach from Gale to Armacao de Pera. These beaches offer rocky outcrops, secluded coves, rock pools and a delightful walk from Gale to Everisto along a sandy path with fabulous views of the coast. There are Beach bars at all the main beaches serving great fresh fish as well as the usual favourites.
Golf
We are well served with many fine courses, the nearest is Salgados,(not for beginners) just 3km west in the midst of a water nature reserve. In addition Silves, Gramacho, Pestana and Amendoiera are all within twenty minutes to the West. Amendoeira is worth a special mention, newly completed it has two championship courses designed by Nick Faldo and Christie O'Conner Jnr. Then there are five courses at VilaMoura, two each at Val do Lobo and Quinta do Lago to the east. And don't forget Spain is only just an hour away. There is a golf booking agency in Val de Parra just 5 minutes away, they will arrange your tee time and they offer discounts that you won't get when you book direct from the pro shop on course. The agents details are in the house information folder. Most of the courses hire almost new clubs, (like Callaway), if you don't want to take your own clubs. There are special deals after 4 o'clock, play as many holes as you can, it's cooler too!

The house was beautifully kept, gardens, pool, cleaning, not one area left unturned. A credit to yourself and your staff. It made our first abroad holiday with our children a truly memorable one for all the right reasons! It certainly means future holidays have alot to live up to!

Owner profile
About the owner
My Husband and I live in East Sussex with our dog, donkeys and horses. We have a large family and have been taking our holidays in Portugal for over twenty years. We bought our house 6 years ago and 2009 was the first year of renting. The house is our second home and is a spacious house that accommodates small and large parties with ease. We love this area as we have made many friends over the years including Louise Hodgeson who looks after the management of our house for us and takes care of our visitors. The lovely area has so many different types of beaches and restaurants and even now after all the years we still find new places to visit and explore. We love music and reading and hope that our guests will enjoy some of the varied music and books that we leave in the villa.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We had enjoyed holidaying in this area for many years, we love the beaches, restaurants and the landscape inland. We wanted to find a house that felt like a home and after a long search we found Casa Martinique. We have been delighted with our choice. It seems that all our guests have enjoyed the house too.
