Just you two

Self-catering first-floor holiday apartment with own entrance, adjoining owner's villa, for summer holiday rental. Comfortable lounge and well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar. The main bedroom has a 6 foot wide bed, and both bedrooms lead out onto a private balcony with tables and chairs for alfresco dining and views over the gardens and countryside.

The villa stands in over an acre of lawns, garden and orchard. When in season you can pick your own fruit - lemons for your G&T, oranges to eat or for fresh breakfast orange juice, avocados and fresh figs....

The pool, terrace and pool houses are at your disposal. Please note in the event of allergies that we have a family of friendly cats but no dogs. This is our home, so come and experience the Algarve with our help.

Although the holiday apartment comfortably sleeps four, we find that couples seeking to get away from it all really get the benefit. Leave the children behind and come and unwind!

Smokers please note that the safety reasons, as we are a long way from a fire service, no smoking is allowed inside the apartment.

No pollution, plenty of fresh air, friendly but unobtrusive hosts, and a beautiful location waiting just for you. We doubt that you will want to leave at the end of your stay.

50 yards from a local restaurant with live music on Fridays (in summer) and other restaurants within a few minutes by car.

A car is essential unless you intend to 'stay put' and totally unwind, in which case we can arrange airport transfers at a small extra cost.

We are 15/20 minutes from motorway access to Lisbon, Spain and Western Algarve. 15 minutes from Albufeira and nearest beach and large shopping mall with supermarkets and nine cinemas showing English films.

Within easy reach of the old Lisbon road and the local market town of Sao Bartolomeu de Messines.

The beautiful village of Alte, and the old Moorish capital of Silves are 20 minutes away.

Local gypsy markets, twice monthly, add to the fun.

Golf

The Algarve is undoubtedly one of the world's greatest golf destinations, and you can drive to a number of courses nearby.

Other activities

There's plenty to do including boat trips, swimming with dolphins (Zoomarine), horseriding, walking, golf, waterparks, and more.

Your host can arrange at extra cost, clay pigeon shooting; sightseeing flights by light aircraft, subject to availability; aromatherapy massage by an I.T.E.C. qualified masseuse.

Catering

Evening meals are available by prior arrangement and served in the delightful poolside lounge. Alternatively, improve your cooking skills and eat your own successes! Individual tuition available with your host in our well-equipped kitchen.

Take advantage of our local knowledge and let us guide you to the real Algarve that we love.
