BookThe Algarve / Central Algarve region
This villa is located in a most convenient location within the "Golden Triangle". Spring Gardens is located at the Val do Lobo end of Almancil close to the Karting Track and the popular Apolonia Supermarket. It adjoins open countryside, more interesting and reasonably priced restaurants and shops but is only a few minutes drive to the more touristy coastal activites of beaches, marinas, water parks, shopping and of course the 12 golf courses found in the Quinto do Lago, Val do Lobo and Vilamoura complexes.
The Almancil / Vale d'Eguas area
The villa adjoins the village of Vale d'Eguas, which in Portuguese means the Valley of the Mares, on its east boundary while on the west it faces out to rolling countryside and hillsides behind which the sun sets attractively. There is a local Portuguese restaurant 2 minutes walk which serves good family fare while producing its own wine for the adults. Less than a minute walk further on is a famous Mozambique restaurant serving more adult fare, curried prawns and other exotic dishes together with its own wine also. You can also walk for lunch in the local snack bar where the local commercial drivers are mothered over.
A three minute drive down the road brings you to a Spanish Paella and Tapas restaurant, an Italian pizza/pasta outlet and an English owned full range restaurant. All allow you take out their produce for enjoying back at the villa. There are a number of local take outs (including a gourmet Chinese) which you can phone for a delivery service. The famous Coleur de France restaurant, with its spectacular setting, is at the end of the road.
Finally there is a small local shop out the back gate of Spring Gardens which has a little bit of everything. So if you run out of bottled water, beer, wine, cleaning powder, toothpaste or whatever it can be found there but obviously at a higher price than driving 10 minutes to the excellent Hypermarket on the fringes of Loule at the top of the Estrada Vale d'Eguas.

We were delighted with the Villa which was stunning with modern decor and very well equipped. Best bits: Clean, spacious, own garden, large pool area and shared garden, close to local attractions. There were no bad bits really, maybe only that you would need to drive to restaurants as there was only one nearby (but with young children aged 4 and 2, we were happy to eat at the villa and used the gas BBQ most nights.). Also if your children are not swimmers the garden is not fully enclosed and they could access the pool. However, the steps in the shallow end were great for them to paddle in. Tony was brilliant to deal with and arranged car hire and airport transfers for us. We look forward to staying here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends. |

We really had a fantastic week in this lovely villa. It is extremely spacious yet cosy as well. The area is quiet and peaceful and the advantage of the shared pool is that it is large enough to actually swim properly! The bathrooms are fantastic, lost of hot water, all mod cons everywhere and a brilliant location. We love Almancil and this villa is 2 minutes walk from a a typical and quirky portuguese restaurant. And our other favourite restaurants are all within a 10 minute drive as is the town. We really appreciated the Sky TV and wi fi and all the sun beds, towels, cushions etc. A really easy and enjoyable break. We will be back. |
