Villa Marisol
About the home
The villa is one of 22 in a small gated community. It is ideal for family groups, as it is within 5 minutes walk from the beach, and there are lots of bars and restaurants close by. There is a spacious swimming pool on the site, which proved very popular with our grandchildren, and there is also a tennis court on the condo.
Even though we are quite close to the popular Strip, we are not affected by noise or any kind of disturbance, which is quite helpful when putting children to bed etc. We found that we could experience all the night life we liked, and then retreated to the comfort, peace and tranquility of our Villa, when it suited us.
The lounge / dining area is quite large and comfortable, and one of the sofas converts into a double sofa bed. The back garden has a large patio area and also a lawn and a BBQ, perfect for al fresco dining. We are close enough to walk to the beach, where there are various water based activities, and also very pleasant areas to soak up that sun!! Your holiday can be what ever you want, if you want to eat in with full kitchen facilities in the vila, relaxing in the garden, on the beach, or at the pool. There is good night life on the Strip, about 10 minutes walk from the vila, and with numerous restaurants and cafes within walking distance, most of which are very reasonable and provide good food, there is plenty of variety to suit all tastes. There is a big supermarket, Modelo, 10 minutes walk from the vila, and their selection of fresh seafood has to be seen to be believed. There is noting like barbecued fresh sea bass or golden bream, sitting on the terrace, a glass of wine (or whatever you fancy) in hand, enjoying the evening air after a hard days work.

Enquire nowThe Algarve / Central Algarve region
The Algarve - where the sun shines for 300 days in the year, runs along the south coast of Portugal, from the West coast to the border with Spain. The climate is excellent, temperatures during the high season are generally in the high 20's - early 30's.
Albufeira is in The Central Algarve, with easy access to the airport at Faro, and also easy access to Spain (less than an hours drive). During the summer months, a lovely breeze comes in from the Atlantic, it keeps the air fresh and comfortable along the coast.
The name Albufeira refers to the times when this part of Portugal was under Moorish rule. Albufeira is a derivative of an old Moorish name and there are lots of historical sites dotted around the Algarve. Some of the architecture in the Old Town has a distinct feel of days gone by.
The Algarve is also very popular with golfers, and luckily enough, our Villa is not far from some of the best courses. We are approximately a 15 minute taxi ride from Vila Moura, with 5 very good courses, and we are also quite close to the well known Pine Cliffs Resort and Golf to mention but a few.
You could take a trip to the many attractions, Zoomarine for example, local tour operators run buses regularly, or you could take a taxi there, it's about 20 minutes away from the villa, in Lagoa. We went to Slide 'n Splash with our daughter and her family, and had a fabulous day. A word of advice however, if you do go under your own steam, buy your tickets before you go there, as it cost us 2.50 Euros more each to buy the tickets at the door.
The Albufeira / Forte Sao Joao area
Albufeira is a beautiful town ideally situated in the Central Algarve, and a 35 minute drive from Faro airport. What was once a small fishing village is now a thriving tourist town. It still has lots of lovely old cobbled streets, away from the central area, which are great for exploring. And you will always come across a lovely little coffee shop or bar for quick snacks. A short walk from the Old Town along the coast road brings you to Forte Sao Joao, where our vila is located. It is literally a 5 minute walk from the villa to the beach, a lovely flat beach and great fun to be had in the sea, with great waves and swimming. There are also various beach and sea activities. The famous Albufeira gypsy market is held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month. Loads of local colour, and the odd bargain thrown in!!
You can also walk along the beach to the Old Town of Albufeira, which should take less than half an hour, stroll around the Old Town, have lunch or a coffee or whatever, and then walk back along the beach, or if you feel like pampering yourself, get a taxi.
From the villa, a short walk (less than 10 minutes) brings you to the popular Montechoro Strip, with all manner of bars , restaurants, cafes, shops and entertainment. Just a walk along the Strip itself is an entertainment!
You can go to Slide and Splash, and Zoo Marine, which you can get to by pre-booking a coach, or alternatively you can take a taxi. Children have great fun in both places, and though Slide and Splash is more of a 'doing' place, adults will also enjoy themselves!

Stayed in Villa for 2 weeks in August 2011,was told by owner someone would show us round the Villa on the first day but this never happened until a week later,We tried to highlight some damage to the villa but was told not to worry as any damage is emailed every week to the owner. On our return to the UK the owner never even contacted us in regards to getting our £250 Security Deposit back. We had to contact owner who then emailed back to say there was some damage to a sunlounger which was already done when we arrived. After several emails the owner finally accepted the fact that damage was not done by our party and agreed to forward the £250. This was over 10 months ago and although she says sent a Bankers Draught by Registered Post she amazingly cant trace the Draught and now completely ignores any correspondence. A nice way to treat families who save all year for a Holiday by keeping hold of £250. |

Fantastic position , no car necessary , beach 5 mins , main strip 5mins and old town 10-15 mins all walking distance. Very close to supermarket, bakers etc. Very comfortable modern villa in quiet residential area, 50 metres to lovely quite pool area. An abundance of local restaurants and bars. Wi-fi access at Cheers bar a few minutes from Villa run by Maria and her family who are very friendly and helpful. Visit Bar Azul on the way to the beach run by Jean Claude and his lovely wife where you should try a fresh made Mohitto refreshing and very reasonable prices. If you are looking for a holiday where you can enjoy the lively night life but retreat to peace and quiet this is the villa for you. Perfect for all age groups. Mark Youngson and family July 2011 |
