8 Jardins Do Golfe (condo)

Home description

Apartment Number 8 is lovely sunny, spacious apartment in the development of Jardins Do Golfe. we have just finished renovating the apartment, new kitchen was installed in March 2008. The kitchen has all new appliances including washing machine, full size oven, ceramic hob, and granite benchtops.

The bedrooms and lounge/dining room are now newly redecorated and refurnished. All rooms are modern and tastefully decorated. The twin bedroom has an additional TV and DVD player - so you can tuck the children up in bed and have the entertainment system in the loungeroom all to yourself :-)

The balcony area has a new teak outdoor table and chairs and sunloungers and wicker chairs all perfect for chilling out on a hot sunny day !

We also have 2 other properties in Jardins - have a look at property 22218 and property 26636 so you can see the style and attention to detail we make to ensure that you have the most wonderful holiday.

The apartment is located on the ground floor and it's front entrance leads directly onto a grassy lawn with palm trees that is perfect for children to play safely. The balcony has the enviable position of being completely secluded - no prying eyes when you are relaxing and having a sleep in the sun shine, but at the same time has a direct view towards the gardens and pool area - thus making it perfect for privacy for discerning guests.

Jardins Do Golfe boasts a very large private pool. There is a large sun terrace that has been recently upgraded with decking and free sunloungers and an additional children's pool with waterfall. There are also other areas in the gardens where sun loungers are scattered about. There is a poolside snack bar during summer, also facilities of tennis and mini golf and basketball court.

It is a 2 minute walk to the very well stocked local supermarket / off licence / cafe & cash point and Medical Centre. Parque Do Golfe which is the Reception for the Royal and Ocean golf courses is a 5 minute stroll from the apartment there are also many shops including beauty centre, a most wonderful health spa (can vouch from experience), hairdresser, cash point, Hertz, post office & newsagent selling daily English newspapers and magazines also a cafe and another bar overlooking the 1st holes of the Ocean and Royal Courses.

The Algarve / Central Algarve region

The Algarve is located in southern county of Portugal and is geographically the most South Westerly tip of Europe. It boasts over 100 sunny beachs from the Reserva Natural da Ria Formosa Reserve which runs along the Eastern coast to the virtually uninhabited windswept beachs of the Parque Natural da Costa Vicentina on the Western coast. The Algarve is bordered by Spain and it is only a short drive to the cultural and ancient city of Seville in Spain and Portugal's capital, Lisbon.

The Algarve is a relatively small area and has well maintained and easily accessible road system which makes touring and sightseeing very attractive and there are many fine places to visit, such as the 12th century Moorish Castle at Silves, the fortress and training school of Prince Henry the Navigator, and the lighthouse at Cape St Vincent which in olden times, before the discovery of the Americas, was thought of as the end of the world. There are also many cathedrals, churches, museums and stately houses of architectural interest.

In the 17th and 18th century Portugal was a leader in the discoveries of the New World, the Africas and Eastern trade. In recent years this little country has joined the European Union, has a very stable government and enjoys the comforts of modern Europe.

The Algarve is a very popular destination, the consistent good weather and top class golf courses being the main attractions. The region, from the Spanish border town of Villa Real de São Antonio to Cape St Vincent, is about a hundred miles and the depth of the county is less than five miles. The west has a backdrop of the Monchique Mountains with spectacular scenery, spa towns, monasteries, lush vegetation and protects the Algarve from rain. Hence the glorious climate all year round.

Food and wine are institutions here, as is spotless accommodation, courtesy to visitors, genuine friendliness and a pride in service. Most people are conversant in English. There is also an overwhelming respect for the law, which makes the Algarve a particularly safe and relaxing vacation destination.

The old and the new is very apparent here with modern hotels and resorts lying side by side with old farms where you can admire the fig, almond, olive and orange groves. Seafood is abundant and varied and there are many unusual dishes to try. Another aspect of the Algarve are the wide variety of beaches, all graced with thick grained golden sand and all very clean with nice beach restaurants.

The Eastern Algarve – the Sotaventa (leeward) coast, is the lesser known half of the region the pace of life is slower and has with a very different topography and character to the central and western Algarve the beaches are typically long, wide and flat. The west is typically with its coves and rock formations or longer beaches with a background of red cliffs and pine trees

Over the past 30 years, the Algarve has emerged as Europe's top golf destination, the 5-star golf resorts of Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago and Vilamoura being famous throughout the golfing world.

Vale do Lobo / Jardins do Golfe area

Faro town is a 15 minute drive there is a large shopping centre that offers good facilties. Most tours offer a pickup/dropoff bus service from VdL to the attractions. Options include horse riding, fishing, yachting/sailing, shark, dolphin watching, 4x4 safari tours & Cultural visits. In Almancil there is a karting track if you need to burn off that adrenalin..... There is also an Aqua Park 10 mins drive on the other side of Quateria) and a Swim With Dolphin experience and Theme Park (30 mins drive on the Motorway). In the apartment is a well stocked folder with all the details of the attractions so you can read at leisure and book you choices. In Almancil (5 min drive) is a beautiful church with wonderful mosiacs that is open to the public. Quarteria (5 min drive) has a very impressive farmers market that is well worth visiting (oh and testing out the produce !!). Both of these attractions you can walk to usually in about an hour if you are feeling energetic......otherwise I have a folder with telephone numbers of local taxi services if you do not wish to drive.

How to get there

BA, Easyjet and Monarch all run a good schedule of flights to Faro. I recommend a website www.skyscanner.net to see the best price for your flights, it is a very easy and compact site that loads up all airlines departing from your airport of choice with the times and most importantly the COST !!

Have a look at www.flydeals.co.uk and www.kayak.com (or co.uk) to check out alternative airports and best deals.

I can arrange car hire for you for a very competitive rate - please email for the hire costs.

I can also arrange a meet and greet service or private car airport drop off from Faro airport for a small locally paid cost.

A fun web site to use is www.wunderground.com it is a 'weather site' that has historical weather data for Faro and also a 'trip planner' option that gives you a really good idea of what type of weather to expect when you are on holiday.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Jardins Do Golfe is nestled beside the 2nd hole of the Royal Course a short distance from the Main Entrance of Vale do Lobo. The Jardins do Golfe is a private complex and is set in a hectare of beautiful, mature and well tended gardens.

We have tried to think of everything that you would need or want for a luxury holiday. There are many extras we have included in the apartment, DVD, satelite TV, CD stereo & CD's, DVD movies, Playstation PS2 & games even books and magazines. There is a new kitchen with washing machine and oven. All new furnishings from comfy sofas, squishy cushions to cuddly throws to snuggle under at night while relaxing. As an added extra all the bed linen, bath and beach towels are provided for you while on holiday.

We also regularly restock the little things like tea, coffee, toilet paper and general food items. You will find shampoo and hair care products, bath and toilet soap, sun screens, baby nappies, after sun lotion, first aid kit and even washing powder - all these things help make you holiday so much easier not to have to worry about the little things.

We have also included some toys/games, pencils/paper so your children always have some thing to keep them occupied. We have provided about 15 movies to watch and 50 CDs for your enjoyment. But you can bring your IPod or more DVDs which can plug into the stereo and you can relax listen to music and make the apartment just like your own home.

During your stay if you have any problems or require assistance I have a 'right hand man' who speaks perfect English, he can help you with anything you need - even changing a light bulb or medical assistance if required. This ensures everything about your holiday will go smoothly.

Further details outdoors:
The bus stop to over 25 destinations along the Algarve (and to and from the airport) also departs from outside the Medical Centre. It is a 10 minute walk to Barringtons Health Club and Tennis Academy.

The Praca which is the nightlife/beach front area of Vale do Lobo is a 15 minute walk - the Penguin Children's Club is here and Vale do Lobo Beach. At the Praca there are numerous restaurants, bars, cafes, newsagent, real estate agent and a night club. Free live entertainment nightly during summer.

About 3/4 mile down the main road into Vale Do Lobo are another good selection of restaurants including the Sao Gabriel - a Michelin star restaurant and the Thai Garden restaurant also highly recommended. I also recommend the several 'beach shack' restaurants collectively known as 'Julias' it is a 5 minute drive from the apartment of better still a fabulous ramble along the Vale Do Lobo beach and the famous red cliffs - the beach walk takes about 15 minutes from the Praca and is well worth the effort !!

The Quinta da Lago Shopping Centre is about 2 mile down the road, here there are many exclusive designers shops and some lovely restaurants/cafes. There is also a Italian restaurant that delivers pizza and pasta (and a bottle of wine) to the apartment....the menu is in the folder...for those nights that you just can't be bothered to cook.

The Vale do Lobo beach which is a easy 15 minute stroll through the Resort - is a safe, clean, 'Blue flag' beach for families. In April 2006 the beach underwent a 2 million Euro upgrade which has widened and extended the beach reclaiming several million tonnes of sand now making it much larger than it has been in recent years. There are sunloungers are for hire.

Hi Erika
Have been meaning to email since we got back but it has been straight back to routine and....you know how it is!
We loved your apartment and found it to be the most comfortable we have ever been at Jardin and this was our 6th if not 7th visit! We found Joe to be most helpful and very prompt to attend to any requests.
The children were very impressed with all the beachware and all the games etc.
Thanks again and you can be sure if we are going back, we will get in touch.
Regards
Jacqueline - Ireland - 15 May 2008
