The Algarve region
The Algarve enjoys a mild climate most of the year, and Vilamoura in particular also enjoys gentle sea breezes so as to lessen the extent of the humidity in the very hot summer months. The Algarve offers itself up for year round holidays and provides 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'.
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 close to the apartment and is a family favourite! A tourist train (noddy train) tours Vilamoura - the Marina and the Old Village and is another favourite with the children! Quarteira the next resort to Vilamoura has a fun gypsy market every Wednesday and 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! A free shuttle bus operates from Vilamoura centre in high season. 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.

There are several car hire companies housed at the airport but we advise pre-booking. If you need help or advice - please ask. If you want to avoid the cost of a larger hire car to transport luggage and family to the apartment then we can advise on reasonably priced transfer services to the apartment - thus allowing the hiring of a smaller car in Vilamoura if and when you need one. Local taxis are plentiful and very reasonable. There are plenty of low cost airlines servicing Faro airport and include Palmair, Thomson Fly, EasyJet., Monarch, Globespan. Jet 2 and Flybe.

Thanks very much for everything and hope to speak again!
Dan - June 2008
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 - June 2008
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 - July 2008
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 - August 2008
