The Algarve / Central Algarve region
Portugal’s southernmost region known as the Algarve has established itself as a firm favourite holiday destination for people from all over Europe as well as the rest of the world. This is due mainly to its almost tropical climate boasting over 3000 hours of annual sunshine. With its stunning long sandy beaches, majestic cliff facings, secret coves and caves contrasting with the inland of mountains, almond blossom covered hills and quaint hidden towns the Algarve has something to offer for everyone.
There are many major attractions for all the family to enjoy including Zoo Marine (where you can swim with the dolphins), horse riding on the beach and some brilliant fun filled water parks all within a half hour drive of the house. Locally there is golfing, tennis, horse riding and a sports facility.
The water parks are within easy reach - Aqualand and Slide & Splash being the most popular. The parks all provide buses that will pick up you up and return locally. If you want to get away from the coast for the day then a drive to Monchique and Foia (the highest point of the Algarve) is highly recommended. On the way you could visit the castle in Silves and stop for lunch of chicken Piri-Piri in the small mountain town of Monchique. It will take you less then an hour to get there.
Two large shopping centres are 'Algarve Shopping' in Guia and 'The Forum' in Faro just 20-30 minutes by car. The Algarve Shopping, is a large mall which is approx. 15 minutes drive away. Here you will find a variety of shops, a big supermarket, a bowling alley, a multi-screen cinema (most films are in English with Portuguese sub titles) and a food hall.
Alternative ways of exploring the Algarve are by joining one of the many jeeps that head out each day (high season) to explore the unspoilt Algarve. This is a great day out for the family and will pick up and drop off in the area.
As Acoteias is ideally situated between Vilamoura and Albufeira there are plenty of great boat trips leaving from both Albufeira and Vilamoura marinas everyday. You can choose from a full or a half day and this can often include a trip into the caves and grottoes of the beautiful Algarvian coast line. If you fancy a drive into Spain then the border is only a 50 minute drive and Seville approx two hours depending on traffic.
Faro airport is just 30km away and is just 40 mins drive to the accommodation. As the Algarve spans a large area with wonderful sights and attractions, car hire is highly recommended to explore, but not essential for this villa as there are a number of good restaurants and bars within walking distance and the beach is a 5-6 minute walk away. Taxis are reasonably priced. Transfers can also be arranged for you if requested.
There is an Information Book in the house with lots more information on the local area as well as some great days out.
Albufeira / Falesia area
Acoteias is a picturesque little village with a tranquil feel and touches of traditional Portugal dotted through out its centre. Acoteias enjoys the best of both worlds; its has retained its traditional air and charm whilst still being close enough to enjoy all of the benefits of the nearby, more developed areas, such as Albufeira and Sao Joao which are 6KM away and Vilamoura 10KM.
Acoteias village is just a few minutes by car or a pleasant 10 minute walk from the house and has a large selection of restaurants, bars, shops and a bank. There is a fantastic selection of restaurants to choose from in traditional Portuguese, Sea food, Italian, Chinese and Sushi.
For those not wishing to travel too far there is a supermarket, bars, newsagent and restaurants located 200mts from the property in the little square of Falesia. This is a great little square and is perfect for dining al fresco or having a drink whilst the children are free to play. In the high season they also have a bouncy castle as well as quad bikes for the kids to hire.
Just 400 meters away is the award winning (blue flag) Falesia Beach with its stunning red rock cliffs and golden sands beach. The longest beach in the Algarve, it offers a great choice of facilities including parasols and sun beds. The beach is ideal for walkers and there are also a number of bars and restaurants offering various mouth watering cuisines to suit all tastes including fantastic fresh sea food.
In nearby Albufeira there are an abundance of restaurants and bars with something to suit all tastes. Olhos d'Agua also offers a good choice. Further along the coast you will come to Vilamoura (about 15 minutes) which hosts 5 award winning golf courses. Here there is also a lively marina with lots of restaurants, bars, shops and where you can pick up many water borne day trips e.g. fishing and sailing.
There are many high quality golf courses within a ten minute drive of the accommodation. The closest is the neighboring Sheraton Pine Cliffs Golf Course which includes the famous 'Devils Parlour'. Close by is a range of courses at Vilamoura including the Millennium, Laguna, Victoria and Vilamouras' Old Course. There is also a golf academy and driving range.
All in All Falesia is a great little resort here in the Algarve with all amenities on the door step – sure to be a firm favourite with all the family!

Guestbook for Stella Maris Aparthotel
Just back from a fabulous holiday at the Hotel Stella Maris. The apartment was great - much larger then we expected and the fact that it over looked the pool we could keep our eye on the two kids! The location of this hotel is brilliant - we were able to walk to the Falesia Beach (everyday!) and in the evening we went to the small square were there is an excellent selection of restaurants and bars - It is also suitable for children as they had a bouncing castle and quad bikes! A brilliant holiday & to cap it all the weather was fab everyday! Thanks for a great holiday we will be back!
A fabulous apartment in a great quiet location. The apartment itself has a great sized bedroom and a large living space with a great balcony overlooking the pool area. It is equipped with all you could need for a two week, self catering holiday. The hotel complex is lovely and very clean. There is a large pool with kiddies pool and jacuzzi - never quite reaches the 32C it promises!! There is also a kiddies splash pool tucked round the back which was a great hit with my 5 and 3 year olds! In the evening it was a five minute stroll to the little square where it all happens - a few restaurants and bars, and then later the bouncy castle comes out, again a great hit with my kids. Not the hottest of night life, but for a family with young children we couldn't have asked for more. A very enjoyable holiday. Making plans already to return!
