Home description
This pretty 3 bedroom Portuguese style villa gives the most welcoming feeling immediately on entering the gardens. It is perfectly located a few kilometres west of Albufeira, near to Castelo and Evaristo beaches. It is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in its own private garden which contains a good sized pool surrounded by lawn and borders of shrubs and flowers. There is a shaded area with a barbecue and stone table and chairs ideal for al fresco dining.
The accommodation itself is cool, spacious and well equipped. It has retained its original charm with modern additions such as a new kitchen and refurbished bathrooms. It sleeps 6-8 people. There is a sofa bed in the area just outside the main double bedroom which would be good for children.
Beaches and restaurants are within easy walking distance – the beautiful coves of Castelo and Evaristo being less than 10 minutes. Most of the restaurants in the immediate area are excellent.
If you want some relative peace and quiet, near to beaches and restaurants, but also to be within easy reach of Albufeira for something more lively when the mood takes you then this is the ideal place.

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 / Sesmarias Albufeira area
In the immediate area, you have a fantastic choice of beaches and coves. Castelo and Evaristo being the nearest, at less than a 10 minute walk. Gale, a beautiful long sandy beach stretching a few kilometres is about 20 minutes on foot, or just a few minutes by car - this is a fantastic spot to watch the breathtaking sunsets, it is good for swimming and for the energetic a good beach walk. The rest are no more than a 5 minute drive – to name a few, São Rafãel, Lourenço and Coelha. There are many coves scattered along this part of the coast, some only accessible by foot.
