It is just a special place. It is peaceful and quiet, but near enough to the fabulous beaches, towns and villages of the Algarve to let you enjoy them whenever you want. We are always amazed at how friendly and helpful the Portuguese people are. Most people in shops and restaurants also speak English, so getting about is very easy. We enjoy walking, and there are so many places to walk from the villa. The National Park borders Parque da Floresta, and it is a joy to walk into the hills above the Parque, and see the views to the sea. We have also now discovered a walk through the countryside down to the beach at Salema - about 2.5 miles by the scenic route - so it's great to walk down, have lunch, and maybe walk back ( or more likely decide that we've had enough exercise for the day, and we get a lift from Jose or Isabel, our local friendly taxi drivers!).
We quite simply love the villa, and from the reviews that previous guests have left, it's clear that they love it too. The views are spectacular, especially from the new roof terrace; the pool is glorious; the garden is a joy. The whole area just seems to promote a lovely sense of wellbeing, and there is enough space to let the whole family relax and unwind. We really hope you will come and experience our lovely villa.
