The Algarve / Central Algarve region


Coast/Beach
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.

Guestbook for Villa Marianna Do Sol
Hello Mr Kingsnorth
I am just emailing you to let you know that we had a wonderful Xmas break at your villa.As you know we were a party of 8 from two separate families and the vast areas of space suited our needs perfectly. I would also like to praise your managing agent and the maids service which was faultless.If we know of anyone looking to rent a very large villa in the Algarve we will have no hesitation in recommending Marianna Do sol.
David Hawkins
We had a superb holiday the Villa Marianna was 'fantastic'. It had everything we needed and more! The kids loved the pool and the games room. I'm sure we will be making a return visit, this was our third trip to portugal at Easter and we all thought this was the best place we had stayed in.
Thanks again. Jane Bell.
Hi Alfred,
I would just like to thank you for the use of your Villa. We have had a wonderful holiday. We found the villa to be very well equipped especially in the kitchen. The kids loved the pool and the games room.
Dear Mr. Kingsnorth,
What a delightful holiday our group of 8 Canadian women had at Villa Marianna! It was perfect accommodation for such a group on our first villa vacation. Although we found it a bit of a challenge to first find the villa after orienting ourselves it proved to be a very convenient location for our daily excursions around the Algarve and the Alentejo. Portugal is a wonderful country and we enjoyed its people and its sites.
Thank you once again on behalf of all of our group for a first rate villa enjoyed by all!
Liz Kelly
