Owner profile
About the owner
Beverley and Ian live in England with their two boys aged 6 and 10. We enjoy holidaying abroad and have really taken to Portugal and the Algarve. The Portuguese are extremely friendly and the flight time from the UK isn't too long, with reasonably priced flights available from many UK airports and other European airports.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We have several friends who have apartments in Vila Sol. After renting there ourselves we decided to 'take the plunge' and purchased our own property in 2007.
The Vila Sol complex is very family friendly with secured gated garden areas with large expanses of grassed areas for the children to play in, plus the three well maintained pool areas. The airport at Faro is only 20-25 minutes away and the local beaches and Vilamoura Marina are less than 10 minutes by car or taxi.
Unique benefits of the property
Our property benefits from secure underground car parking, which is really great as it keeps the car cool in the heat of the summer months.
The property is extremely well maintained and furnished to a high standard.
We keep a travel cot and high chair in the apartment which are available at no extra cost.
