The Algarve / Central Algarve region

Famous for its dramatic, rugged coastline and soft, sandy, unspoilt beaches, warmed by the Gulf Stream, and with over 300 days of sunshine every year, the Algarve makes the ideal destination for a relaxing and fun holiday in the sun.

The Albufeira / Corcovada area

Parque da Corcovada is located just ten minutes from the centre of Albufeira, the most well- known holiday resort on the Algarve. Albufeira itself is in the centre of the Algarve and is only about an hour and half’s drive from both the nature reserves on the furthest Eastern point on the boundary with Spain and the furthest Western point of the Algarve with its rugged Atlantic coastline. Beautiful lakes and hills are an hours drive to the Northwhile within walking distance of the complex to the South are numerous stretches of stunning white-sandy award winning beaches surrounded by beautiful cliffs and rugged coves.

Albufeira still retains much of a small-town charm. The narrow, cobbled streets of the old town are lined with white washed houses, restaurants, bars and shops. Each night fishing boats set off from the beach, returning with fresh fish to be sold in the local markets. A daily market sells handicrafts and jewellery and the pretty town square is a great place to watch the world go by. Bars and restaurants still sell authentic food and Portuguese wine at reasonable prices. The colours, flavours and aromas create unique moments of gastronomic tradition. In the surroundings of Parque da Corcovada, you can find beautiful, blue flag beaches. Most are served with a bar or restaurant with fantastic seafood and local dishes and the larger beaches feature extensive watersport facilities. Just five minutes walk away is the famous “Strip”, as it is referred to locally. . This is a lively, one kilometre long avenue leading to Praia da Oura (one of the nearby beaches) lined with dozens of cafes, restaurants and bars that keep open to the small hours and provide the very best in nightlife entertainment.

Golf on the Algarve is world famous and being centrally located in the Algarve, Parque da Corcovada is an ideal convenient base for golfers. The five Vilamoura courses are only 15 minutes drive away. Balaia, Salgados and Pine Cliffs a mere 5 minutes drive. Other great golf courses like Quinta do Lago, S. Lorenzo and Vale do Lobo or Vila Sol are just an easy half-hour drive away.

A wide range of other activities are available within the area. Tennis and horse riding are all within a 10 minute drive. Albufeira has a well equipped Marina supporting a wide range of water sports and organised activities such as fishing trips, scuba diving, dolphin watching and sailing can all be arranged from the town itself.

Other local tourist attractions include Zoomarine (www.zoomarine.com), Aqualand (www.aqualand.pt), Aquashow (www.aquashowpark.com), Krazy World (www.krazyworld.com) and Slide & splash (www.slidesplash.com) all within 30 minutes drive.

The Algarve Shopping Centre is 7km away from the apartment, with 9 cinema theatres, ten-pin bowling, shops, supermarkets, restaurants (including many international names) and free parking.

Hi Rob and Gill
Just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that we had a lovely holiday.
The apartment is absolutely gorgeous, spotlessly clean and really centrally located which allowed us to explore the surrounding area easily. The lovely weather (30 all week!) also helped to make a great week.
We have come back very chilled and really grateful to you both for letting us stay!
We will be more than happy to recommend the apartment to our friends and family and would like to return at some point in the future.
Kind Regards

Just a quick note to let you know we had a really lovely holiday at the beginning of October. From the pick up at the airport at the start of our holiday to the drop off at the end we could'nt have wished for a better service. Your apartment was fantastic, our every need was catered for it felt very much like a home away from home so much so I didn’t want leave at the end of the two weeks ! I will certainly keep you in mind for future trips although Im not sure if I want to recommend it to my friends - I'd rather keep this little gem to myself !!
Thanks again
Kind Regards

Dear Gill and Rob,
We have just got back from your apartment and wanted to say a big thank you to you both for a wonderful stay, so homely and welcoming. We would definitely be back again.
Thank you once again.
Andrea and Colin (May 2009)

Hi Rob and Gill
We very much enjoyed our stay in your apartment. it is lovely - we found Mel and his wife very helpful and friendly, which made our experience that little more special. Corcovada is a lovely area and although its quite large it is very peaceful. we spent many night on the balcony under the stars as the nights are so warm and hardly ever a cloud in the sky. We will almost certainly be going back. it's a fantastic location, the night life is buzzing, the atmosphere is brilliant and the food in the restaurants is something to be desired. It's a 5 start apartment in a 5 star location for all the attractions and would always recommend your apartment. definitely 10/10
kind regards
Carl and Lauren (August 08)
