The Algarve sits on the South West tip of Europe and has a fantastic climate with almost all year round sunshine. It also boasts some of the finest golden sandy beaches in Europe with numerous secluded coves surrounded by huge cliff faces.The scenery is fantastic. Inland you will find some quaint villages and traces of the Moorish presence still in evidence in local architecture .

Olhos D'Agua is a relatively quiet village where you can enjoy a peaceful holiday. No noisey pubs/clubs and no lager louts! A ten minute walk from the apartment takes you down to the beach where the approach road is borderd by little shops cafes and bars. The beach here is guarded and has toilet/shower facilities.Other beaches nearby are the Maria Luisa and the Falesia both very big lovely beaches.

The village has numerous shops banks a chemist and a medical centre all nearby to our apartment. A taxi rank and bus stop are literally 2 minutes from our apartment as well as the large supermarket at the bottom of our road which has its own bakery. There are a few other shops in the new precinct in front of our building which includes bank grocery store(Thomas Greens for British food) newsagents and chemist as well as a local municipal fruit and veg market. A tourist shop is situated next to where taxi/bus stop are and here you can book a variety of excursions whether it be Zoo Marine/Slide and Splash or a Fishing Trip. The buses that run to the various theme parks will pick you up outside the tourist shop. Car and cycle hire can also be arranged from here as well as a shuttle bus to the Large Algarve shopping area in Guia which is about 15-20 minutes away.

The local 'EVA' buses can take you into Albufeira or in the other direction into Vilamoura. Cost of a bus into Albufeira is 1.90 euro and a taxi ride is around 5 euro. Travel time is 5 minutes to Albufeira and about 15 min to Vilamoura. Albufeira has a new marina and Vilamoura also has a lovely marina where you will find shops and cafes

Just a quick note to thank you for the use of your apartment which is luxurious to say the least, very much a home from home. Will have no hesitation in booking your apartment again if we are looking for a break in the Algarve.
Mrs and Mrs Fincham, stayed September 2009.

We had a great time in Portugal. Apartment was of a very high standard and extremely clean. Great location with so many restaurants in easy reach, no need to drive at night. Only used car to go sight seeing as everything we needed was on the doorstep. Would recommend travelling to Tavira, Loule Market etc. Loved having lunch on the balcony and looking out to the sea, and having drinks on the kitchen balcony in the evening sun with the lovely breeze. Enjoyed Falesia Beach, not too crowded.

Some comments from Noel and Jo Reilly, party of 4 stayed July/August 2009

Loved the apartment everything was spot on. beds and furniture very comfortable and lovely balconies.Lovely kitchen but we ate out every night. Would have been useful to have instructions for washer/dryer in English. It was a pleasure to have UK channels on TV .Had a wonderful time and hope to return sometime in the future.

Rod and Julie from Surrey. Stayed 7 nights February 2009

We as a party of four stayed in this apartment in November 2008. The apartment is very spacious and tastefully decorated to a very high standard It has absolutely everything you need. The weather even at this time of year was excellent and the views from the balconies are breath taking.Accommodation is also excellent and with 2 couples having separate toilets/showeer facilities was great. The kitchen is beautifully furnished with all mod cons .There are shops on the door step as well as transport, taxis and buses. A great place for young and old to enjoy it is a very quiet place away from all the usual holiday bars and clubs which are close enough to
reach in nearby Albufeira if you so desire this type of holiday. The beaches are stunning and go for miles we will definitely be back...enjoy
Ann ..Billy and friends stayed for 2wks in November
