The Algarve / Central Algarve region

The Algarve is the name of the southern coast of Portugal, incorporating, amongst others, the towns of Faro, Lagos, and Sagres. The region's administrative centre is the town of Faro, which has its own international airport.

The Algarve is a popular destination for tourism, primarily because of its clean, warm water beaches, Mediterranean climate, safety and relatively low costs. The length of the south-facing coastline is approximately 155 kilometres. Beyond the westernmost point of Cape St Vincent it stretches a further 50 kilometres to the north.

The coastline is notable for picturesque limestone caves and grottoes, particularly around Lagos, which are accessible by powerboat. Praia da Marinha, Lagoa was classified as one of the 100 most beautiful and well preserved beaches of the world. There are many other beautiful and famous summer places such as Albufeira, Vilamoura, Portimão, Lagos, Armação de Pêra, Quarteira, Monte Gordo and Tavira.

The Porches area

Carvoeiro is a fishing village halfway along the Algarve coast, about 45 minutes from Faro Airport. Over the last 15 years, grown to be a sizeable holiday resort. However, it has not lost the intrinsic charm of the place, as the development has been sympathetically done, keeping to low-rise buildings in the traditional Algarvian style.

This cosmopolitan resort has a wide selection of restaurants and bars, a few night clubs, boutiques, banks, chemist and local facilities.

Porches, there are busy restaurant and shops and only 1.5 km drive. Zoo marine is also only 6 km for the villa, this is a must to swim with the dolphins!

“Fantastic villa that surpassed our exectations” I had my wedding at the villa in May and can honestly say that I could not have chosen a better venue. My family came and stayed and with 6 double rooms with ensuite it was ideal. The gardens were beautiful and the pool got a lot of use. Howard, the owner, has thought about everything and there was nothing more we needed to make this one of the best times of our lives. I can only advise that you go and visit.

“Fantastic” This was our second visit and we will certainly return. The facilities are amazing and everything you need for a great holiday is available. A great pool, outside BBQ area and a hugely well equipped house. Howard and Victoria went out of their way to make our stay stress free. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough.

“Fantastic” A really excellent, spacious Villa which is so well designed for a luxurious living style both in and outdoors. The modern equipment and facilities were top class and we lacked for nothing. In addition to the lovely pool, there were attractive gardens and also enough space for children to play away from the protected pool area.The owner was so helpful in assisting us to arrange local trips (Restaurants, Taxi, golf, etc..). I recommend this Villa without any hesitation.

“Fun, sun and laughter” This Villa is SUPERB, it has everthing you need to have a fantastic holiday, space, activities, first class dining areas, swimming pool, hot-Tub..... the list is endless. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, quiet (did I mention IPOD surround sound in every room including the pool), shops/beaches/entertainment a short drive away. OMG we were blown away, (did I mention the mountain bikes), we used the barbecue everynight! (did I mention you can have your own beer on tap). Right I'm going to stop there if you want to see/enjoy you need to book you will not be disapointed, no one else was judging by the comments left in the guest book, in fact you should hurry up everyone is booking again!!!!!

“The Perfect Villa for those wanting a little Extra!” Not really one for submitting reviews although an avid reader of what other people have to say, I thought i would at last write a review. When a place this good the danger of me writing a review means I may not be able to get i hear again when I want but i think praise is due when praise is due. From the moment we arrived we wanted for nothing. This is a large place that can accomodate with ease a large party, being so spacious you are never on top of each other. The outside are is to die for, never have I come across such am amazing Alfresco dinning area and a kitchen that a Michelin starred Chefs would be proud of. We took advantage of the keg of cold beer and would urge anybody booking to do so. Swimming pool - unbelievable. Spoilt beyond belief - This is how you should do the Algarve. Thank you from Julian and Alison (hard to please Yorkshire Folk)

“Beautiful villa, ideally placed with every conceivable addition to make the holiday enjoyable” The villa is conveniently situated close to the N125 but surrounded by peaceful vineyards and fields. The villa's rooms are all beautifully finished and the owners have added every conceivable extra to make your stay enjoyable and memorable, whatever the weather. My wife and I were joined by a party of young marrieds for the weekend and the owner organised a suckling pig and keg of beer, which we failed to finish but had great time trying. Indeed, the owner could not have been more helpful and the maid, Victoria was lovely. The villa is suitable for wheelchair access and caters for every age group.
