Home description
This lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom villa is located on the excellent Balaia Golf Village between Albufeira and Vilamoura. It is superbly located in the centre of the complex overlooking one of the pools with easy access to all the facilities but with plenty of space around it for the kids to play! It is a single storey property located at ground level, so is ideal for families with young children as there are no dangerous stairs or balconies. There are 2 private patios complete with outside furniture and barbeque.
The property is air conditioned with full climate control to provide cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. The 2 bathrooms were completely renovated in 2006 and the kitchen was totally replaced in 2007.

The Algarve / Central Algarve region
A wonderful sunny climate with a pleasant breeze and great beaches makes the Algarve one of the most popular resorts in Europe. There is something for everyone - plenty of great golf courses, water parks, water sports, old castles/buildings and varied scenery provide suitable options for everyone. The area around Albufeira has excellent facilities for all your holiday needs - shopping, entertainment and plenty of bars and restaurants.
Although many people come to the Algarve for these reasons, there is much more to this area than the traditional beach holiday and a short journey inland will reveal the quaint villages of the old Portugal. There are many places of architechtural interest nearby and the old town of Albufeira is worth a visit, as is the marina at Vilamoura. On top of the excellent facilities and the great climate, the Portugese are very friendly and will make you feel welcome.
