The Algarve region
The Algarve, in the south of Portugal, is known region for beaches, clear seas and the perfect location for a memorable vacation for families and couples. The popularity of the Algarve is down to its consistently good beach resorts along a coast stretching from the Spanish border to Cape St Vincent and it's proximity by air to Northern Europe. In addition it's many golden sandy beaches, safe bathing, good restaurants, quality accommodation and building codes enhance the appeal.
Summer temperatures can reach 30C plus, however the Atlantic breezes make the Algarve's climate comfortable for all.
Carvoeiro / Benagil area
Golf can be arranged easily as Pinta, Gramacho, Alto and Salgados golf is only 10 minutes drive. The Algarve is one of Europe's premier golf areas. There are currently twenty-five courses in the space of 100 miles of coastline, with more under construction. All Algarve courses are within one and a half hours' drive of Faro International Airport. Over the last few years the Portuguese Open has been hosted variously at Penina, Vila Sol and São Lourenzo, all of which may be included in the list of top European championship courses. Warm playing conditions and immaculately manicured fairways and greens are the norm in the Algarve.
Walkers The stretch of coastline between the colourful fishing village of Benagil and Senhora da Rocha is one of the most magnificent in the Algarve and is noted for its profusion of wild flowers and dramatic beaches. The rugged cliffs are layered in bands of ochre and cream sedimentary rocks with a band of hard, grey limestone forming the cliff top. There are several sea-stacks, sandy bays, rock arches and spectacular blowholes en-route. Aproximate distance is 9km/5½ miles on an undulating coastal path.
Alternatively the small resort of Carvoeiro occupies a gap in the red cliffs that dominate the Algarve coastline. Leaving the town and head west following the cliff top path. The cliffs here are particularly impressive with sea arches and sedimentary rocks with a rainbow of colours and textures. Blowholes are also a significant feature. Continue either to the beach at Caneiros or to the Arade estuary and the fishing village of Ferragudo. Aproximate distance is 6½km/4 miles on an undulating coastal path.

Guestbook
Hi Kevin,
Just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time in your villa in Benagil. The peace and quiet on the complex was perfect and we may well look to stay there again in the future. I will also be recommending it to friends and colleagues at work etc. We enjoyed our trips into Carvoiero. We ate at all three of the restaurants going up the hill from the bay in Benagil and they were all really good.
Thanks again from Mike, Vic, Jat, Adrian and Hayley ++++++++++++++++++++
Hi Kevin Deirdre, You must read our minds; I am just about to send you an e-mail to thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Your house is just perfect. We were considering squatting and never returning home, but the children objected, they wanted to return home to tell their friends how brilliant it was. We had the most fantastic two weeks the house is of the highest standard and the location makes it perfect for a holiday that suited everyone. Close to two beautiful beaches, and some restaurants that had the freshest fish in the Algarve it was idyllic.
Thank you from all of us.
Jackie +++++++++++++++
