The Algarve / Central Algarve region

The weather and the friendliness of the locals are key attractions. Guia itself is situated roughly 10 minutes from the bustling resort of Albufeira and enjoys the best Algarve weather, without the humidity and noise encountered in more suburban areas.

Many English people also come in the winter months to enjoy the far milder temperatures for which the Algarve is so well known. There is a mixture of quaint fishing villages and small coves along the coast and historic market towns further inland. One most notable is the area's old capital, Silves, just 25mins away. It dates back to 1000BC and has a Moors castle, stunning views and is well worth a day out. to explore.

Albufeira / Guia area

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS:

BEACH:
Excellent long sandy beaches at Gale are less than a 10 minute drive away. This has water sports and three charming fish restaurants overlooking the sea. It is possible to walk miles along this beach with some breathtaking views.

GOLF:
An 18 hole Par 72 Links course is at Salgados, just 10 minutes by car and close to the beach at Gale This has a Driving Range • Putting Green • Chipping Green & Bunker Area • Pro-Shop • Restaurant & Bar
Balaia has a 9 hole Par 27 course with similar facilities and also a Tennis court. This is 18 minutes from Guia

There are around 25 golf courses between Faro airport and the western tip of the Algarve and Guia is centrally placed to try them all! A full listing and details are in the apartment.

WATER PARKS:
Slide and Splash is on the outskirts of Guia and claimed to be one of the best in Europe. It has lots of different water rides and slides to both entertain and challenge as well as a huge swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and eating facilities. This can easily be a whole day out, repeated several times! www.slidesplash.com

Zoomarine This is on the other side of Guia and is a large water theme park with dolphin exhibitions as the key attraction. Great for kids of all ages. www.zoomarine.pt

Aqualand – Yet another large water park to challenge! www.aqualand.pt

RESTAURANTS:
Sir Cliff Richard had the right idea when he bought a villa on the outskirts of Guia, the village has a wealth of charming little restaurants serving good food at reasonable prices
From local Portuguese styled cafes to French influenced bistros. The choice is yours and the beauty is that none are further than a few minutes walk away.
Local specialties include the famous chicken Pir Piri which is delicious and well worth a try

For a very special occasion however, there is a two rosette Michelin starred restaurant, again just 10 minutes by car or taxi. There, the views of the sea vie with the awesome food and service to give you the experience of a lifetime.

SHOPPING:
The Algarave Shopping Mall is only 10 minutes from the apartment and offers an exciting choice of designer boutiques from Zara and Mango to Ralph Lauren and Armani. It also houses a large food hall and hypermarket.
Makro is just opposite and has amazing bargains on items like food and wine.

CLIFF RICHARD's VINEYARD:
Not only does Cliff have his own villa in Guia, but he also has his vineyards here as well. These are open to the public throughout the year.

NIGHTLIFE:
Apart from the many restaurants and bars in Guia, there are a wealth of night clubs and a multiplex cinema in Albufeira, the main town just 10 minutes drive away, or for a more sophisticated scene try the Marina at Villamora (about 25 mins), which has many boutique style shops and waterside restaurants alongside the moored yachts.

How to get there

Low cost airlines such as JET2, Easyjet and BMIbaby together with Ryanair and other major airlines, including Thompsonfly and BA, fly regularly into Faro.

Transfers from the airport can be prebooked for either a shuttle bus or private hire. It takes about 35 minutes by car, to reach the apartment which is essentially 'just down the motorway'.

Car hire is useful for exploring, but not essential, as Guia is quite self contained. There are many hire companies operating from within the airport terminal, so this is very easy to do, but there are also agents in Guia itself.

The owner will provide all the details and help needed to arrange whichever transportation you prefer.
