The 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 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 restaurent 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.

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.

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.

The local airport is Faro and is a 15 minute drive to the villa.

Car hire is advisable. If you wish, we can organise that for you. The car can be picked up at the airport or we can arrange a mini bus to bring you and your luggage from the airport to the villa. The car will then be brought to the villa subsequently.

However it is also possible to do without a car. Take a taxi to the villa and walk to local shop, snack bar and restaurants while taking a local taxi on longer journeys. There is a wide range of restaurants in the vicinity who do deliveries. In addition we have a fridge filler service whereby our managing agent can bring your selected shopping to the villa.

On arriving, you can pick up the keys from the offices of our manging agent in Almancil. If you know the way or have been with us before, the keys can be picked up at the villa.. Alternatively if you rent a car through us, to be picked up at the airport, you will be given the keys by the car rental company at the airport. Alternatively we can bring you and your luggage from the airport in a minibus and bring the rental car to the villa later.

“Peaceful, clean, spacious, homely and a touch of luxury” 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.

“On holiday without being on a schedule !” If you want to get away for a relaxing holiday and not have to feel confined to a resort complex, hotel times and welcome meetings then you have to consider this villa rental ! We were late in our... more

“Perfect Winter Escape !” We have spent many winter holidays in the Algarve and stayed at some lovely, but very high priced hotels. When we knew we would be able to stay for a month we spent ages researching villa's to get a better priced option. Finally we found this one and it truly was Perfect! Big enough to have family out to visit and comfortable enough to make us happy to stay in. Sky TV, WiFi, great beds, fantastic top of the range barbeque and best of all getting up early on a chilly morning to the villa wide underfloor heating. At first it was a bit of an odd feeling that the other villa's in the cul de sac were not occupied but then we realised how much we appreciated the peace and quiet!!! The ONLY single down side was that our favourite restaurant, O Malveiro, was closed for holidays while we were there but then again there are plenty of others!!

“Superb Holiday in a fantastic villa” Having been to the Algarve a number of times over the past few years we knew what we were looking for from a villa. Happily we stumbled across Tony's villa on HolidayLettings and after exchanging emails over a period of about 2 hours we were sold and had our booking confirmed for 2 weeks in June 2011. 2 minutes from Almancil, 6 minutes to the beach, 4 minutes to our favourite restaurant (Sr Frango's - best Piri-Piri chicken in Portugal), a fantastic pool, beautifully finished villa - we knew we were going to have a holiday to remember :-) We arrived on the first flight into Faro from Dublin at 9 am and were able to access the villa immediately. The owners had kindly left a welcome pack for us and it was hard to resist the cold beers and wine at that time of the morning, but it proved to us that we had made a good choice. I was also delighted to see that there was a gas bbq instead of the normal charcoal one - makes it so much easier to throw something on for a quick lunch without having to clean and prep the bbq ! The villa itself is beautifully finished and the owners have obviously taken great care in selecting the fittings and furnishings. They even supplied beach towels which helped to keep the luggage weight down. The pool itself is fantastic - there is a huge sundeck with loads of loungers and sunshades. There is also a large garden behind the pool which was ideal for a kickabout with the kids. Tony had made me aware of the wireless broadband before we travelled so I was able to bring my laptop and watch the hurling and football matches online. As I write this review, a close friend is staying in the villa on our recommendation and I'm sure they will have as good a holiday as we did. We've already confirmed our booking for next year and are already looking forward to it. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone who is looking for a beautiful villa in a great location.

"This is much better than staying in Quinta or Vale do Lobo.It is luxury accommodation in the real Portugal yet is next door to all the tourist facilities associated with this area. We enjoyed eating in the local restaurants one night and the posh ones the next night. You have the full range here."
