Home description
The view alone will make you want to return to this villa again and again. Situated high on the hill at Cerro D'Aguia or "Eagle Point", an area also known as "Millionaires' Row", you will have a fantastic outlook from every point of the villa. It is a mixture of modern and traditional combining in a homely atmosphere throughout. It has 6 bedrooms – 3 twins and 1 double in the main house with a further double bedroom, a room with a single bed and a sofa bed in the lounge in the separate apartment attached to the villa.
There are terraces all around the villa – some open and some shaded, giving you the choice to soak up the sun or somewhere to cool off or dine al fresco in the shade. The pool area is particularly private and not overlooked, offering the serious sunbathers the perfect opportunity for an "all over" tan!
Located just 2 kilometres or so west of Albufeira, it is a perfect location for a relaxing holiday, away from the hustle and bustle, but having something lively nearby to visit as and when you wish.

The Algarve / Central Algarve region
The Algarve is one of the sunniest places in Europe, with over 3,000 sunshine hours per year. The summers can be hot, but there is usually a refreshing breeze by the coast. Spring and Autumn is an ideal time for outdoor pursuits, such as golfing, biking, walking. The winters are mild and very often sunny, but do expect a few rainy days any time between October and March.
The Atlantic coastline offers a spectacular variation of scenery from dramatic limestone cliff formations surrounding tiny coves, to long, flat, sandy beaches ideal and safe for family holidays.
Go inland, and the mountains of Monchique provide a totally different viewpoint (and on some days a totally different climate) to the coastal areas. The terrain here makes it ideal for all types of activities, from off–road biking, hiking and quad biking to walking and simply enjoying the spectacular scenery.
The western facing side of the Algarve is certainly worth a visit. The beaches are beautiful and clean and the scenery fantastic – but be prepared for more wind and colder water! A favourite spot for windsurfers.
Go east of Faro and you will find the Ria Formosa, a protected part of the coast cut off from the sea by sand–spits, forming large areas of marshlands and lagoons teeming with wildlife.
Further east beyond Tavira the coast runs off towards Spain with mile after mile of Golden flat sand.
Albufeira area
Cerro d'Aguia is located about 2kms west of Albfeira. It is a quiet, residential area sitting high on the hill above Albufeira, its Marina and São Rafael. As well as the choice of beaches, restaurants, bars etc. in Albufeira, Pateo is close by where there are some good restaurants. The beautiful beaches of São Rafael and Gale (as well as others in between) are a short drive. The Marina is also a few minutes in the car.
For the golfers in your party Salgados, an 18 hole links course is just a 5 minute drive. The 9 hole courses of Balaia and Pinecliffs are about 15 minutes in the car. Others, such as the 5 award winning courses of Vilamoura, and in the opposite direction Vale de Milho, are no more than a 30 minute drive
Many of the Algarve’s attractions are within easy reach – Zoomarine, where you can swim with the dolphins, Water parks, Krazyworld, numerous excursions, safari trips, diving, horseriding, tennis and more.
