It is away from the crowded tourist areas but all local attractions like water parks and beaches are just a short drive away. Access to the villa on arrival is by a keysafe so there is no person-to-person contact. A welcome pack is provided for your arrival with all essentials. It is possible to have shopping delivered to the villa by the Apolonia supermarket. The villa has air-conditioning for the summer months and underfloor heating for the winter months. The rural area is popular with walkers and close to the Algarve Way. For golfers the villa is also close to the Amendoeira and Silves Golf courses. For motor racing and Formula 1 lovers the Autodromo do Algarve is approximately 30 minutes’ drive from the villa. The Monchique mountains are to the north and the beautiful beaches to the south.

We have recently finished a small adjoining extension to the villa that can provide a private, lockable space for grandparents or friends from a different family. It comprises of a living room with large TV and Bedroom 3 with en-suite bathroom. The bedroom and living area have patio doors to the pool terrace. This area is only available when you book the main villa. The main villa containing the master bedroom and twin bedroom is priced on an occupancy of up to 4 people. Additional guests using Bedroom 3 with the en-suite facilities are charged £25 per person per night. The camp/chair beds are only suitable for children and are charged at £10 per child per night. Please enquire if your party has additional children using the camp beds so the website price can be adjusted.

There is free unlimited Fibre Optic Internet access and television including Portuguese, English and Sport channels. It is easily accessible from Faro airport (40 minutes).
