Home description
This is a newly built luxurious villa on the beautiful Parque da Floresta resort, which is set in the Costa Vincentina Nature Reserve. The villa can sleep 6 – 8 people with 3 en-suite bedrooms, it’s own swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. It is very attractively furnished and on 3 levels overlooking open conservation countryside towards the sea. The resort boasts an excellent golf course (with 40 % reduction for guests), tennis, bowls and a fitness centre with a large communal swimming pool.The resort is only an hour away on the motorway from Faro airport and is within easy reach of the south and west coasts of Portugal. Lagos is the nearest large town and there are many beaches close by. The villa is available at a reduced price as there might be some building work in the vicinity over the next year but this is unlikely to detract from any enjoyment as it will be up the hill behind the villa.

The Algarve / West Algarve region
Western Algarve This area is still one of Portugal’s hidden secrets, from the tranquility of it’s sheltered southern beaches and harbours, to the wilder more rugged west coast with it’s spectacular surf. It boasts over 3000 hours of sunshine each year. The countryside consists of rolling landscapes, picturesque hamlets and fishing villages, as well as towns steeped in maritime heritage. Unlike the East, this region is delightfully unspoilt and untouched by commercialization. Open air markets are held each week where locals trade their fresh produce and wares.
Budens / Parque da Floresta area
Lagos is the nearby town with it’s culture and history dating back to Roman times. It was from here in 1514 that Prince Henry the Navigator launched his fleet to seize Ceuta in Morocco setting the stage for Portugal’s age of discovery. The town is a maze of cobbled streets with pavement restaurants, cafés and bars. To the west is the port of Sagres with it’s dramatic headland – Cape St Vincent which is the most south westerly point of Europe.
