The Algarve / Central Algarve region
The Algarve enjoys a mild climate most of the year, and Vilamoura in particular also enjoys gentle sea breezes - so lessens the extent of the humidity in the very hot summer months. The Algarve offers itself up for year round holidays and provides an average of 330 days a year of bright skies and sunshine.
There is so much to see and do - from visiting the very high class world-famous marina in Vilamoura itself - to exploring the many quaint Portuguese fishing harbours and villages in the surrounding areas.
If beach life is for you then check out the countless, safe, picturesque beaches and spend your days relaxing between the sand and the many beachside restaurants and beach bars.
Trying some of the Portuguese speciality foods is a must! Sardines and Piri Piri Chicken doesn't taste the same anywhere else! For those with a sweet tooth the cakes and the breads are 'out of this world'.
The Vilamoura / Vilamoura Marina area
The famous marina in Vilamoura has 1,000 berths and has many top class restaurants and bars and designer boutiques.Figo's bar is worth a visit to see the photos of the rich and famous! or you may be really lucky and spot the genuine article - a regular haunt for the famous and in particular well known footballers.The marina offers all sorts of activities from shark fishing and dolphin watching to leisurely cruises to view the wonderful coastline or take to the dinghies to navigate the historic caves and grottoes.
Roma Golf Park (Roman style crazy golf) is located just a short walk from the apartment and is a family favourite! - it is also a designated stop for the tourist train.
The tourist train (noddy train) tours Vilamoura - the Marina, Beach and the Old Village and is another favourite with the children! - a fun way to get around and see Vilamoura!
Quarteira the next resort to Vilamoura has a fun gypsy market every Wednesday and some lovely beach bars.Loule' has a bustling Saturday market - well worth a visit. Any of the numerous tour companies operating locally will provide transport at a reasonable cost. Full or half day trips to local sights and attractions or even Lisbon or Seville can be arranged. (Please see info in apartment)
Vilamoura has 2 fantastic beaches - the marina beach and Falesia - both very safe and very flat, ideal for families and both have restaurant and toilet facilities.
The enviromental park provides nature and bird lovers with interesting subjects. Portugal is a haven for wildlife!
Vilamoura has a choice of local supermarkets with a good range of products - but the Algarve shopping centre in Guia is a must for serious shoppers!
Golf can be arranged at many outlets locally for all of the 5 local championship courses at special rates - to include travel and golf club hire if necessary.
Vilamoura offers a variety of good nightlife and even has its own casino - if you feel lucky! - and also hosts quality shows and musical tributes.

Stayed 6 nights in this wonderful apartment in early Oct 2011. We were delighted with how bright and spacious the appartment was and especially how nicely Tina had finished all the furnishings. The appartment was filled with all that we could have asked for to make a very comforable holiday. Books and toys for our son to use, DVDs and CD, beach equipment (bucket and spade, umbrella etc). This saved bring a lot of these things from home. Appartment and pool area were spotlessly clean, compex nicely maintained and pool good temp for Oct ! We used appartment as based to explore central Algarve and packed car in secure underground car park each night. Temp was 28-30 C every day and we had wonderful relaxing holiday both out and about and relaxing in apartment. Booking process, payment and keys was also very easy and dealing with Tina the owner a pleasure. Would happily recommended to other families. Villamoura itself is also very clean, open and well maintained - our only slight complaint was that the marina has become a bit too 'international' and we preferred the more traditional Portuguese restaurants in neighbouring towns. Still wonderful to sit amongts the million pounds boats and sip on sunset glass of wine though ! |

This is a luxury apartment with all modern facilities, situated in a quiet area within 10 mins walk of the lively Vilamoura marina and beautiful Falesia beach. The apartment complex was very quiet during the half term holidays in October, a lot of the apartments in the area are owned by Portuguese from Lisbon and are not occupied at this time of year. The apartment itself is first class, larger than the impression given by the photographs, it has been decorated and fitted to a very high standard by the owners. Separate air conditioning units were available in both bedrooms and the living room. The bathrooms were excellent, my teenage daughter who would normally spent her time in the jacuzzi bath, preferred the steam hydro shower in the ensuite. Both bedrooms had ample wardrobe space, no need to take coat hangers, and the beds were extremely comfortable. extra bedding was available in case of cold weather. The kitchen contained all the modern appliances you would have in your own home and they were all in immaculate condition. The living / dining room was very comfortable with Flat screen TV, Sky and DVD player with a large selection of DVD's. There was also CD players with lots of discs and a large selection of books and games. The Pool area and gardens were kept immaculate although the water temperature was rather cold at this time of year. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who prefers a luxury accommodation in a top resort |

My wide and I decided to holiday for 7 days in Vilamoura this year for the first time ever with our 3 year old and 6 month year old boys. I spent a considerable amount of time sourcing apartments on line through various sites and when I came across Tina Anne Markwicks fantastic apartment, there was only ever one choice. For me, the pictures of the apartment are great but to truly understand how good this apartment is, you need to stay there. All I can say is that from the initial booking to the email and text message from Tina Anne Markwick welcoming us back home after our trip and thanking us for staying in her apartment, I have been seriously impressed. The apartment is a true "home away from home" apartment with every single detail you can possibly think of available - beach towels, picnic basket, kids toys/books, fresh orange juice squeezer, dishwasher, washing machine, fantastic spacious bedrooms - I could go on all day. The complex itself is fantastic, so relaxing with a great pool and kids pool, its really close to the marina by foot or by car and near plenty of supermarkets. Vilamoura really is a fantastic location for a family holiday - stunning beach, 4 water parks in nearby towns, fantastic restaurants, crazy golf and tourist train, stunnign marina etc Perhaps the biggest compliment that I can pay this apartment is that my wife, kids and I felt really at home and I dont use that term lightly. I have never met Tina Anne, but in all my emails / dealings with her throughout the booking process and beyond, I can honestly say that she has been absolutely amazing - even giving us an early check in and late check out as we had two yound kids! A definite 2 week holiday next year in Tina Anne's apartment in Vilamoura is on the agenda. Thank you for a fantastic time! Brian, Michelle, Jack and Ben McDowell (Belfast) |

Got back home yesterday after a thoroughly enjoyable holiday in Vilamoura. The apartment was superb, very well equipped and beautifully furnished - all credit to you!!
Many thanks, once again, for allowing us to use your apartment.
Brian & Edna
Just a short note to say how much we really enjoyed our stay at Praia village. The apartment was fantastic- it was furnished to a really high standard and had everything we needed. The block was extremely well maintained and the gardens and pool were well kept. Some families didn't appear to venture from the poolside all week!
Its central location made travelling around the Algarve really easy as its only 10 minutes by car to the motorway and a 15 minute stroll into Vilamoura. The underground parking was a benefit when having a rental car.
We enjoyed our evenings round the harbour - lots of good restaurants and bars.
Chris & Claire
We had a wonderful holiday and my family think your apartment is fantastic.
We travelled to a few places Silves was very nice and we went to Lisbon on the train which was very good.
It was the best holiday we have had for years!
I will keep in touch with you and recommend your apartment to my family and friends.
Thank you for everything.
Thomas and Family

I thought your apartment was wonderful, very classy and gave me inspiration for our own home! We enjoyed many evenings at Vilamoura Marina at some lovely restaurants and my husband and son had a great game of golf at Vila Sol.
Once again thank you for a lovely relaxing week. We would love to come again.
Sharon
Thanks again for all you did to make our stay pleasurable in Vilamoura.
This was the first time we have ever booked an apartment, normally we stay in an hotel. Our first experience of this was excellent, the only problem now is that your apartment has set us a very high standard.
We wish you every success.
Thomas, Kim and the Girls
I have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world but never anywhere as clean and well equipped and homely as your apartment.
The beds were very comfy, the balcony clean and well equipped and we enjoyed the bars and restaurant across the road.
Trust me - I am a very difficult person to please 100% - but you managed it!
The apartment with all the extra touches are a credit to you. The only set back was having to come home xx
We will be booking again x
Thank You xx
