About the home

This stylish, modern and comfortable Villa with large, heated pool is set in extensive gardens. A spectacular highlight of this design is the sheltered inner courtyard which gives the villa a tremendous feeling of space and light. Arches lead from the hallway to the large kitchen and open-plan dining area, with arches also leading to the large main living area. Sets of patio doors from the living and dining areas lead outside onto spacious, south facing pool terrace area which is perfect for relaxing and taking in the stunning views of the local countryside. A large, heated pool is beyond the terrace as well as the very private garden.

The Algarve / West Algarve region

As you travel across the Western Algarve, you will pass through an area of unchanged traditions, brought together with the latest modern conveniences and exciting holiday attractions. Welcoming its guests with the Mediterranean climate, the Western Algarve reveals a great variety of flora and fauna. The region is rich in biodiversity and ecosystems making it of a great ecological interest.

The best way to discover the aromas and flavours of the Western Algarve is to stroll through the narrow streets and alleys found away from the coast. Here you will find a myriad of local restaurants and bars indulging into the dainties of traditional cuisine. The range of choices includes famous regional delicacies such as figs, almonds, carobs and a very special brandy.

Only a step away from the restful inland area is the excitement of the Western Algarve night-life and the most beautiful beaches in Europe. During the daytime you can enjoy fanciful shadows of the rocky coastline casted on the sand and as soon as the night comes revel in the merrymaking of bars, discos, marinas and casinos.

The region’s built heritage reveals particular memories of the ancestors of the Western Algarve, making it a special cultural place to visit. If you are looking for an active holiday time, the Western Algarve offers a range of outdoor sports from golfing on the green courses to physical exercise at the region's excellent facilities.

The Lagos / Burgau area

Lagos (pronounced "lah-gosh") is one of the Algarve's most attractive and historic towns, capturing the imagination with its carefree holiday spirit, laid-back lifestyle and immense historical wealth. With its cobbled streets and colourful Marina, Lagos has some excellent restaurants, good shops and great nightlife plus a range of family activities and superb beaches on the doorstep.

10 minutes west of Lagos is Burgau, a picturesque fishing Village with pretty white cottages, jumble of drawn up fishing boats and a sheltered sandy beach with lively beach bar. A handful of restaurants and mini-market serve the village and those looking for a more local lifestyle.

AlmaVerde is found 4km inland from Burgau, 55 minutes from Faro and 10 minutes from Lagos. This award winning village comprises a selection of newly built, luxurious yet tradtiional looking Villas with access to a day spa, tennis courts and countryside as far as the eye can see.

Beaches:
The nearest beach is Burgau with the sandy beaches of Salema, Zavial, Figueira, Sagres and Martinhal all within a 5 - 15 minute drive West. To the East are the beaches of Luz, Porto de Mos, Lagos and many more within 10 minutes.

Golf:
Only 10 minutes either East or West are two golf courses - Parque da Floresta and Boa Vista. Slightly further afoot are a range of golf courses, many of which are championship level - the famous Penina, Quinta do Lago and Vale da Lobo (Golden Triangle) courses are within a 45 minute drive.

Faro Airport is a 50-55 minute drive to AlmaVerde - straight down the main A22 motorway. N.B. There is now a toll charge applicable for those using the A22 but you don't pass through any toll booths. Please check the details of how to pay the charges with your car hire company as it is unlikely that you can pay online and most car rental companies offer a good solution. Lisbon airport is a 2.5 hour drive and nearly all motorway driving so a good alternative. It is a good idea to have some Euros with you as there are toll roads along the way and you'll be able to pass through these quickly if you have change rather than notes. Seville Airport is another alternative and you must check with your car hire company that you are able to drive into Portugal. Airlines such as TAP Portugal, Monarch, EasyJet and BA all fly into both airports and it's a good idea to shop around as there is nearly always a good deal to be found. There are a lot of car hire companies in Portugal and sometimes your airline will offer you a discount if you use their partner company. A local Lagos company that we have used for many years have always been very reliable and the car will be waiting at Faro Airport. They will offer anyone booking through Peartree an all-inclusive, discounted, deal - this includes unlimited drivers, children's seats and zero-excess. They can offer a transfer service from Faro Airport to the property (and back). Given the position of AlmaVerde I would recommend a car for local journeys so if you've had a transfer from the airport they can also arrange to drop off a car to you at the villa. AlmaVerde is located just off the EN125 at the turn off to Burgau.
