Home description
Villa Quinta do Sobreiros is a large 7 bedroom villa with a clay tennis court and basketball in acres of grounds mostly planted with fruit trees and surrounded in peaceful countryside yet close to some of the best beaches in the Algarve.
Villa Quinta do Sobreiros is a very spacious villa located apprximately 10 minutes by car outside Carvoeiro where many restaurants, bars and shops are located. Carvoeiro´s name is in fact 'Praia do Carvoeiro' which means beach of the Charcoal man. Originally the village was a settlement of only a few houses on the side of a small river flowing down the valley from Lagoa. The people living there were mostly fisherman and charcoaol men.
But now Carvoeiro has been discovered by holiday makers who are seduced by the beauty of the coastline and friendliness of people. Carvoeiro has most shops you would excpect at home. Grocers, Supermarkets, Bakers, Butchers, Chemist, Newsagents, Gift Shops, Postoffice, Banks, Bars and Restaurants.

The Algarve region
Miles of gorgeous, golden, sandy beaches, calm clear waters and bays interspersed with rugged cliffs and enchanting grottoes; the Algarve is amongst the top European holiday destinations. The South of Portugal was the last place to gain independence from the Moors in 1292, conquered by the King Dom Afonso III and even today traces of the Moorish presence are visible in the unique terraces, chimneys and whitewashed villas. Despite the obvious influence of tourism, a short drive inland reveals the true Algarve where life goes on much as it has for many centuries. This brightly coloured region with orange groves, almond trees in blossom and fragrant pines is also the most verdant and fertile. Sports enthusiasts will find ideal conditions and top class facilities; the golf courses and tennis establishments have a highly prized reputation. Above all, the Algarve is a children's haven; several exciting water parks, surfing in Praia da Luz, horse riding near Lagos and, of course, plenty of chicken and chips! Whatever your preference; a secluded hideaway in the hills, a converted cottage in a traditional fishing village or a magnificent mansion in a sophisticated resort, we are certain that you will find your personal paradise in the Algarve.
Carvoeiro / Praia de Carveiro area
The Villa is located just outside the fishing Village if Carvoeiro where many Restaurants and Bars are located for those long summer evenings with friends. The town and beaches of Armcao De Pera is just 10 minutes away by car towards the coast road.
The picture-postcard village of Carvoeiro lies just off the EN125 main road, midway between Alcantarilha and Lagoa.
Golf Portugal, and in particular, the Algarve, is renowned for its magnificent Golf Courses which is why it is considered a golfer's paradise. There are many courses within easy reach of Villa Marianna such as The Pinta and The Gramacho courses at neighbouring Carvoeiro. There's also the championship course of Penina just a ten minute drive away. Keen golfers' find that the location of this Villa ideal to combine both a beach and golfing holiday and it also works well for partners and families who do not participate in the sport.
Special interest holidays Diving, fishing, horse riding, paragliding, sailing, tennis, water skiing and windsurfing are all pursuits that are available in close proximity to the villa.
