About the home

This wonderful, air-conditioned apartment, is extremely well furnished and is located just 8 to 10 minutes' walk from old Albufeira town and beach. The quiet and peaceful complex of 'Windmill Hill' is situated just a few hours' drive away from the capital city of Lisbon in one direction and, in the other direction, from Seville in Spain. Enjoy the benefits of the new, contemporary and fully equipped kitchen and its home-from-home facilities.

The two bedrooms are extremely spacious (1 double and 1 twin). Additional sleeping options are provided by a sofa bed in the living area and by an extra bed in the twin bedroom (which is accommodated easily), when required. The sofa bed is situated in an alcove in the living area and does not encroach on the space. There are 2 bathrooms (1 en suite).

The large living and dining area are open plan. The apartment has cable television, DVD and Video players and a Bose compact CD/Radio system. There is a large library of CDs, DVDs and Videos, also a good selection of board games and toys. The private roof terrace is ideal for a little 'al fresco' dining and for enjoying a glass of wine while taking in the magnificent views of the old town and coastline. It is wonderful for sunbathing and enjoys the benefits of a south-facing terrace.

The landscaped gardens are beautifully maintained with plenty of mature palm trees, fruit trees and shrubs. The complex is awash with colour for most of the year. The Windmill has been lovingly restored and sits alongside the swimming pool and snack bar where a little Jazz music in the background is the perfect accompaniment to a light meal or drink.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The open plan living room has cable television and a DVD player. A second TV and VCR is set up in the second bedroom. The roof terrace has four sunbeds and a portable BBQ.

Further details outdoors:
The complex, which is just eight to ten minutes' walk from the beach and Albufeira old town, is low rise, consisting of only 91 units and is caringly maintained. The paths throughout are cobbled. The swimming pool (including children's section) is beautifully positioned alongside the windmill and has stunning panoramic views of Albufeira old town and the magnificent coastline. The complex also boasts two tennis courts and a snack bar.

Further details

The complex is opened all year round though the snack bar is typically closed between November and March.

The Algarve / Central Algarve region

The Algarve is the southernmost region of Portugal and it's one of Europe's favourite holiday destinations well known for glorious year round sunshine and excellent sandy beaches.

The Algarve is hilly, but traversed with rich valleys. Its higher point is the Mountain range of Monchique.The region is also the home of the Ria Formosa lagoon, a nature reserve of over 170 square kilometres and a stopping place for hundreds of different birds.

The Algarve is a popular tourist destination, primarily because of its clean, warm water beaches, Mediterranean climate, safety and relatively low costs. The length of the south-facing coastline is approximately 155 kilometres.

The Albufeira / Windmill Hill, Albufeira area

Albufeira is one of the Algarve’s most popular resorts but retains its distinctive Portuguese character. The historic town is particularly pretty with its narrow cobbled streets lined with whitewashed houses, restaurants and shops. The central square is a good place to sit and watch the world go by.

The area around Albufeira provides opportunities to indulge in all varieties of watersports. In addition, there are superb golf courses, aqua parks, zoo and attractive villages within a short distance of the town.

An additional attraction in the area is the new Marina de Albufeira with its controversial architecture and 474 moorings.
