Central Algarve


Central Algarve Villas
The Algarve coastline has fantastic beaches with red sandstone cliffs falling into the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. There are many holiday resorts offering a wide variety of villa accommodation but the relatively sparse population ensures that there are tranquil areas even in the peak summer season.
Many villa holiday makers come to the area seeking tranquillity, relaxation, sun and pristine beaches but for those seeking a more active holiday, they will find many sports facilities within easy reach of their holiday villa.
Large holiday resorts such as Vilamoura with its popular marina and the luxury resorts of Vale Do Lobo and Quinta do Lago offer world class golfing, tennis and yachting facilities.
For families the area has much to offer with numerous water theme parks, Zoomarine where you can watch aquatic shows and even swim with dolphins, as well as horse riding and other activities to engage the whole family.
Faro is the provincial capital of the Algarve built around an attractive harbour. The pedestrianised areas offer sophisticated shopping or eating at one of the many bars, cafes or restaurants.
Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo are up-market resorts close to each other and have low rise village feel complexes with holiday villas reflecting local architecture. With excellent sporting facilities these two resorts have much to offer.
Albufeira has grown from a tiny fishing village to a bustling holiday resort, still retaining a working fishing industry with its brightly coloured boats on the beach.
Guia is further inland and is one of the best known villages. Chicken piri-piri was first introduced there and is widely available although each restaurant has its own guarded recipe!
The fishing village of Carvoeiro has popular beaches and coves and the town of Lagoa has the traditional potteries and tile outlets with tourist attractions in the surrounding area.




Guia

The tiny village of Guia is situated just 10 minutes drive from the popular resort town of Albufeira. The holiday villas in Guia surround the tiny village with its bars and restaurants offering local dishes such as Piri Piri chicken. With nearby attractions such as the Zoomarine theme park where you can watch numerous aquatic shows and even swim with the resident dolphins, a villa in Guia is the perfect place to set up base and explore the Algarve. We have 3 villas in Guia.

Carvoeiro

This once small fishing village is a popular location for many sunseekers wanting to rent luxury holiday villas. Carvoeiro has much to offer with fabulous beaches, with white sand and turquoise water, many surrounded by the red sandstone cliffs. Due to centuries of erosion some beaches have caves that echo the booming of the sea, whilst others are only accessible during low tide.
The village itself has a cosmopolitan array of bars, shops, cafes and restaurants offering a mixture of culinery styles from around the world as well as traditional Portuguese fayre. Whilst the village has expanded and now has a 36-hole golf and holiday complex, a tennis centre and to the east a 9-hole golf course, it has not lost its local charm and simplicity. We have 10 villas in Carvoeiro.

This prestigious holiday resort, located within a beautiful pine forest, between Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, is a perfect place for families looking to soak up the sun in style. At the centre of the resort is a large Roman style swimming pool with tennis courts nearby. Dunas Douradas is famous for having the finest selection of beach bars on its fabulous, golden, sandy dunes from which it takes its name. The seemingly endless, white beach, bordered by red sandstone cliffs, leads in one direction to the neighbouring resorts of Quinta do Lago and in the other it boarders Val do Lobo and stretches as far as Faro. On the beachfront in Vale de Lobo there is a square called La Praça, which has a variety of quality cafes, bars and restaurants offering traditional and international, mouth-watering cuisine. In the evenings the bars have a selection of live music and there is a regular disco on the beach during the summer.
