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 / Sao Rafael area
In the immediate area, you have a fantastic choice of beaches and coves. São Rafael is the nearest, being approximately a 15 minute walk. Others a short car ride away are Coelha, Castelo, Evaristo, Lourenço and Galé. There are many small coves scattered along this part of the coast, some only accessible by foot.
Within walking distance or a short car ride there is a choice of good restaurants to suit all tastes.
There is a crazy golf course about a 15 minute walk away, where you will also find a bar/restaurant, swimming pool and large screens to watch sport, soaps, etc. so something to amuse the whole family.
The Marina, where there are a few bars and restaurants, entertainment in the summer months and boat/fishing trips on offer, is a few minutes drive.
Less than 10 minutes by car is Albufeira Old Town which has a never-ending choice of restaurants and bars, a beautiful long sandy beach, live music venues, the Square which in the summer months hosts a lot of traditional entertainment, an abundance of shops and altogether a great atmosphere. It offers something for both young and old. Just a bit further on and you will come to the "Strip" where you can party until the early hours of the morning.
For the golfers in your party Salgados (an 18 hole links course) is a few minutes drive. Many others, such as the 5 award winning courses of Vilamoura, Vale de Milho, Gramacho and Penina, are no more than a 30 minute drive. In addition, the new course designed by Nick Faldo, Amendoeira is about 15 minutes.
Many water parks are within easy reach - Aqualand, Zoomarine (where you can swim with the Dolphins), Slide and Splash, Aqua Show, Atlantic Park.
There are numerous outdoor activities available an easy car ride away - water sports, tennis, horse riding, biking and much more. For those of you who like walking then there are cliff top walks and beach walks.

Guestbook
"Lovely villa, nice location, spacious and well equipped. "
"Comfortable villa in a convenient location which offered a very relaxing holiday."
"We would just like to say that we have had a brilliant time in the villa this week. The pool has been used a lot by the kids, they loved it. The villa has everything we needed and more. The villa is in a great location for getting around to the main sites."
"Our holiday has been fabulous and having Vila Nunes as our base has made it so. I have never stayed in the Algarve in August in such cool and airy accommodation - you would think the villa had air conditioning. A perfect location for a relaxing family holiday. We'll be back."
Had a great holiday, villa catered for all our needs. Very spacious but feel the pictures on the internet do not do the villa justice, a lot more spacious than expected.
