The Algarve is a paradise of calm. Sitting in the shade and doing nothing is practically a national sport! There are long, empty stretches of sand to walk along, miles of pine forests to hike through, sunsets to take your breath away, and tranquil little cafes in sleepy little villages where you can while away a few hours with a coffee and a good book. To enjoy what this special place has to offer, you want to stay in a special villa, and that's what we have. Staying in a private villa is a wonderful experience - relaxing by the pool, throwing a fish on the barbeque, no concerns, no disturbances. A villa holiday can also be remarkably cheap: our prices are for the villa complete, so divide the cost by the number of people in your party and it can be very economical compared to staying in a hotel.
It is no surprise that Golfing holidays are so popular in the Algarve. The climate is conducive to all-year-round golf and the landscape lends itself perfectly to the sport. The region boasts more than 25 courses, several of which are championship standard, and the number is constantly climbing. So, if you are a keen golfer, the Algarve certainly has the sunshine, magnificent scenery and beautifully kept fairways that make up a marvellous golf environment. Some courses require a handicap certificate, but others do not and there are opportunities for players of all abilities, with golf clinics offered by some clubs, aimed both at those wishing to learn and those seeking to improve their game.
Algarve Beaches The coastline is a plethora of golden beaches; there are long wide sandy bays, backed by impressively rugged cliffs, with tiny coves tucked behind rocky headlands – and almost every kind of beach in between, from the Algarve’s western tip to the Spanish border. Southern Portugal is certainly rich in attractions for the visitor, but its beaches remain high on the list of the Algarve’s greatest assets.
Southern Portugal enjoys deliciously warm summers and mild winters, making it an ideal all-year-round holiday destination. In general, the east of the Algarve is drier and warmer than the west. Cloudless skies are the norm throughout the summer and August in particular can be very hot, so plenty of high factor sun lotion or sun block is recommended.
You will never get bored in the Algarve , here are just a few links to what is on offer for all the family: http://zoomarine.com Apart from the beaches, the sea and the natural landscape that makes the region a great place for holiday relaxation, there are plenty of other attractions for the avid sightseer, not to mention the sporty types and the shopaholics. There are a number of churches, castles and museums to visit in Faro, including the beautiful Cathedral and the ancient city of Lagos is also steeped in history. Hiring a car would probably be a good decision, if you envisage spending some of your holiday exploring the region. Each individual resort has its own shops, bars, restaurants and nightlife.
The wonderful weather puts outdoor pursuits on top of the agenda, so golf, tennis, hiking and horseriding are among the list of popular activities. For watersports, the marinas of Lagos and Vilamoura are hard to beat. Up to 12 hours of sunshine a day also makes eating al fresco very appealing. Not so much a sport, but a very enjoyable pastime nevertheless.
People and culture The Algarvians are as warm and hospitable as the weather. You will find them a generous, gentle people who hold their traditions very dear to them. As a result of the influx of tourists from the UK, they have embraced the English language, so communication does not usually present a problem. From May to October, various fairs, carnivals and festivals offer a light-heated insight into the Algarvian nature.  The Algarve is relatively unspoilt by tourism and there are plenty of local restaurants with tasty dishes – at local style prices – as well as more sophisticated cuisine within the luxury resort areas. One of the most famous restaurants is Rui, to be found on the entrance to the walled city of Silves, which was the capital in Moorish times. Fish is undoubtedly the food for which Portugal is best known and Algarve villa holidays give you the opportunity to get in amongst the locals and shop for fish varieties that you may have never even heard of, let alone cooked before. The markets, with fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables are always great fun, but you should plan to arrive early for the best produce. The Portuguese wines are excellent value, a Vinho Verde for a fish course and a red Alentejo for the meat course are highly recommended.
