Vacation Rental Description
Casa De Alegria is a spacious 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom villa suitable for upto 7 adults. 
Overall the villa has a Zen like feel the décor is harmonious and relaxing. It has been beautifully decorated with modern, designer furniture and fabrics. In the garden and poolside there are sunloungers, dining tables & chairs a good size built in bbq for long summer evenings relaxing and eating on the terrace by the pool. 
 
The combined lounge / dining room has large comfortable leather sofas perfect for flopping into and watching some TV or dvd. Maybe challenge your friends to a game of Monopoly or Poker ? On the upstairs landing there is small but perfectly formed office space with internet connection and laptop.  
 
All three bedrooms have their own ensuite bathrooms and the upstairs bedrooms enjoy a terrace with views over the development towards the nature reserve. The upstairs triple bedroom has a tv & playstation 3 games console. The master bedroom has a king size bed, ample wardrobes, direct access to the terrace with out door sofas – relax, read a book and watch the sunset. 
 
The development of Varandas do Lago is set in the heart of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, neighbouring Club do Ancão and Vale do Garrão. Surrounded by beautiful pine forests, the development is within easy reach of the famous golf courses of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, close to miles and miles of golden beaches. 
 
 
The local area has a huge variety of activities to interest the whole family. Options include horse riding, fishing, yachting/sailing, champagne cruises, shark and dolphin watching, 4x4 safari tours and cultural visits.  
 
In Almancil there is a karting track if you need to burn off that adrenalin. There is also an Aqua Park (10 mins drive on the other side of Quarteria) and a Swim With Dolphins experience and Theme Park (30 mins drive on the motorway). 
 
Things to Do in the area: 
There are plenty of opportunities to play tennis in Vale Do Lobo in the Tennis Valley (14 flood lit courts). There are professionals on hand to help you improve any aspect of your game, regular lessons can be arranged (fee payable). There is good bird watching options in the Ria Formosa with covered areas for watchers (or are you twitchers?) This is about 10 minutes drive away. The inlets and lagoons of the Ria Formosa are well worth a day trip on a boat. The sand dunes from Vale do Lobo back towards Faro are fabulous for wildlife spotting. From Vale do Lobo you could (if you felt energetic) actually walk for over 20 miles of beach there are some fabulous cliff walks past Vilamoura. 
 
The local area has a huge variety of activities to interest the whole family. Options include horse riding, fishing, yachting/sailing, champagne cruises, shark & dolphin watching, 4x4 safari tours & Cultural visits.  
 
Faro town is a 15 minute drive there is a large shopping centre the Forum that offers good facilties for supermarket and retail shopping. Faro Old Town has an interesting history and several historic landmarks worth investigating. There is a lovely harbour with restaurants dotted about. In Almancil (5 min drive) is a beautiful church with wonderful mosiacs that is open to the public. Quarteria & Loule both boast excellent markets that sells both fresh produce and local made prodcuts.  
 
From Varandas Do Lago about 3/4 mile down the main road towards Vale Do Lobo are another good selection of restaurants including the Sao Gabriel - a Michelin star restaurant and the Thai Garden restaurant also highly recommended. I also recommend the several 'beach shack' restaurants collectively known as 'Julias' it is a 3 minute drive from the villa located on the Ancao beach where celebrity spotting is a favourite pastime.

    Review Submitted: 8/18/2010

    Thanks very much for everything, we had a fabulous stay.

    Thank you for all of the recommendations on your list. One restaurant recommendation for your list:
    Bistro des Z'ArtesRua Calvario 69 • ALMANCIL Phone: (351) 91 940 73 66
    We searched tripadvisor for the best restaurant according to the reviews and this came up well on top, we went there twice we were so impressed, the food and service are outstanding.
    Your spa recommendation was so right, I had a maternity massage in the Royal Spa and it was super along with the facilities there etc.

    Thanks again Erika & Donna, we really enjoyed ourselves, and the sun came out for us which was an added bonus!!

    Please feel free to use my name on recommendations page as we were very impressed with standard of accommodation and the manner in which all extra requests were promptly and pleasantly dealt with during our stay .The companies you contacted for us to organise airport transfers and car hire were also a pleasure to deal with.Your very informative and impressive website certainly lived up to what it offered. Thanks for providing us with a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. We can't wait for the next one!
