Home description
Beautifully appointed large and spacious villa in peaceful location but within walking distance of restaurants, golf course and beaches. 10 minutes drive into the lovely fishing village of Carvoeiro which offers full amenities for the holiday maker. Two large free form pools set within landscaped gardens are within 200m of the villa. The pool area has sun beds, showers and toilet/changing facilities.
The villa is spread over two floors and is comprised of an open-plan lounge and dining room, a fully fitted and equipped kitchen and three double bedrooms with large wardrobes. All of which are en-suite. The two lower floor bedrooms have sun-terraces leading from the rooms via patio doors. In addition there is a large roof terrace with sun beds. Each room has air conditioning/heating and there is a log burner in the lounge. The villa has satellite TV and internet access.

The Algarve / Central Algarve region
The Algarve is one of the top holiday destinations in world. Known for it's all-year round excellent weather, stunning secluded, beaches and coves with high-cliff top backdrops, superb sporting facilties including golf, riding walking, windsurfing (particularly on the west coast), fishing and tennis, it's easy to see why so many low cost airlines are now making Faro and Lisbon popular routes.
Excellent traditional food and home grown wines and a gentile pace of life make a holiday on the Algarve so special and memorable. This is especially true in the old fishing villages where the catch is brought in daily and delivered straight to the beach side restaurants.
To the west a visit to Cape St Vincent and the fort at Sagres and the historic walls and castle of Silves is a must for the historian. For walkers a day trip to the Monchique mountains is worth a visit. To the East, the Guadiana River forming the border with Spain is another easily achieved day trip. As is the beautifully unspolit town of Travia with its stunning sand banks and warm waters - visitors have to catch a ferry to reach these secluded beaches from the town but they are very cheap and well worth the trip. Once on the islands there are plenty of bars and restaurants.
Motor Racing - the new Algarve Autodromo (Autodrom o Internacional do ALgarve) has now been completed and is located near Portimao at Pereira (4.5 kilometres north of the Algarve motorway - A22- with a direct road link via the motorway exit at Mexilhoeira Grande). This is situated about 30 minutues drive from the villa and promises to be one of the most modern and multi-functional race circuits in the world and offers on the site a wide range of sporting and commercial activities and leisure events. For further information about forthcoming events - including the A1 GP World Cup on 10th - 12th April - look at www.autodromodoalgarve.com .
Carvoeiro / Clube Golfemar area
Quinta Pequina is about 1.5 kms from Carvoeiro. The town has plenty of parking and taxis are readily available (and cheap) if required. There are an abundance of good shops, restaurants and bars in the town offering a variety of meals of all types to suit all pockets. Just adjacent to the lovely beach in the town centre is the town square which hosts local music evenings throughout the summer months. The square is surrounded by traditional sea food restaurants and cafes. Carvoeiro has a number of banks and cash machines. Please note that some restaurants in the town don't accept credit cards. A petrol station is situated just outside Carvoeiro in Lagoa - as is a big bus station. For those hiring cars, a petrol station is now located immediately adjacent to the airport. Most car hire companies insist on tanks being full of return of vehicle so this station is the most convenient.
Although there is a very well stocked supermarket (basics inc fresh bread and pastries) within five mins walk of the villa, we advise guests to visit the Intermarche supermarket (on the outskirts of town) as this is far bigger and much cheaper.
The villa has several excellent restaurants within walking distance - from a Pizzeria to a traditional portuguese fish restaurant, from an excellent Indian (which offers a take out service!) to an internet cafe; or choose from a superb restaurant in a garden setting with an international menu or a sophisticated beach cafe - Something for everyone! And all ages!
The two water parks, Slide and Splash (10 mins) and Aqualand (20 mins) are great fun for the whole family but try and get there early in the summer as they do tend to get very busy. Zoo Marine is a great trip - try and book a swim with the dolphins before you go. Go Karting is available at Amancil (30mins). There are plenty of horse riding facilities in the area and water sports and equipment can be found at the larger beaches. 6 tennis courts are within a five minute walk at the Rocha Brava complex and these can be booked on a pay and play basis. The club offers lessons and training camps throughout the holidays for all ages. Further tennis courts are available at the Carvoeiro Tennis Club. The Club has a pool, gym and small restaurant for guests to use. Again, tennis coaching can be booked.
Quinta Pequina is adjacent to the Vale de Milho golf course. Although a nine hole course this is a challenging course with reasonable green fees. The club house is a ten minute walk from the villa and serves good food. Further details on all the other superb courses the area has to offer are available in the Villa information folder or please contact the villa owner for advice and information. These include Vale da Pinta (Carvoeiro), Pestana and Gramacho (Carvoeiro) , Palmares (Lagos) , Alto (designed by Sir Henry Cotton in Alvor), Salgados (Albufeira) and Penina (Portimao) and the beautiful Pine Cliffs Golf Course at the Sheraton Algarve Hotel.
How to get there
Easy Jet, BMI Baby, Ryan Air, TAP, BA and Monarch (to name but a few airlines) all fly from many European cities to Faro Airport which is 40 minutes drive from Carvoeiro. Alternatively flights to Lisbon airport are plentiful and the drive from Lisbon is about 3 hours to the villa.
We would suggest clients look for car hire companies via web sites. Always ask for an 'all-inclusive' rate. However, we are happy to suggest car hire companies that we often use on our trips to the Algarve.
