Home description
Set in beautiful landscaped gardens with a stunning pool, these private apartments at Vilas Alvas are truly exclusive, being the only apartments in the area set amongst villas. Our ground floor apartment has steps leading to the pool from the front terrace and is the largest of the 22 apartments. Vilas Alvas is in the heart of the golden triangle and ideally situated equidistant between the prestigious Quinta Do Lago and Vale Do Lobo Luxury resorts. If you are familiar with the area, Vilas Alvas is just a 3 minute drive from the Praca, Julia's beach (Vale do Lobo) and Buganvillea Plaza (Quinta Shopping) . Alisuper supermakets can be found at both Buganvillea Plaza and at the entrance to Vale do Lobo.
Vilas Alvas is an Oasis of calm and tranquility. The location is ideal for lazy days relaxing by the pool when you want to and when you fancy grabbing a piece of the action, everything else is literally on the doorstep, from golf courses to gourmet restaurants.
An easy 20 minutes drive will take you to the Algarve's vibrant capital Faro.
Don't just think of the Algarve for your summer break. The temperate and sheltered climate means the weather is great in April, October and at Christmas time too. So why not take a well earned break out of peak season - you'll be pleasantly surprised.
