Notes on accommodation
The apartment is offered as strictly non smoking. Full air temperature heating and cooling by separate remote controlled units located in each bedroom and the lounge/diner so apartment is useable all year round. Open garage parking with room for 2 cars.
The apartment is on the second floor of the block, accessed by 3 flights of stairs which disabled people may find difficult. Toddlers do need supervision on the front terrace because of the railings and its second floor position.
Outside
The delightful front terrace has elevated views over the golf course to the Monchique mountains. The rear terrace leads via steps into the landscaped gardens and the shared swimming pool. This pool is some 50 yards away, incorporates a children’s section, and is used by the residents of the four adjacent apartment blocks. It is equipped with furniture and the area is ideal for sunbathing.
Coast/Beach
The apartment is located close to what are universally regarded as the most beutiful beaches and coastline of the Algarve. The nearest stunning sandy beach is only 15 minutes walk away and this links via a coastal or shoreline walk (at low tide) into the extensive Vau and Praia da Rocha beaches which eventually end at the Marina and breakwater which forms the entrance to the river Arade.
In Alvor the beach extends for 8 kilometres.
Golf
Alto Golf is a moderately priced British owned course designed by Sir Henry Cotton. The club house is 200 metres away. The driving range is within a 8 minute walk from the apartment and a golf school also operates from this location.
Many alternative and excellent quality courses are within a 30 minute drive away and these include Penina, Quinta de Morgado (new), Palmares and Gramacho, Parque da Floresta, Boavista, Salgados. Within 45 minutes are the courses at Villamoura and Albufeira.
Travel
Faro airport is linked to the Western Algarve via a motorway (which extends up to Lisbon and also into the eastern Algarve and hence Spain/Gibraltar) and the apartment is approximately a 45 minute drive away. It is recommended that a car is hired (either at the airport or locally after arrival) especially if the area is to be properly explored and advice on this can be provided.
Distances
Both Alvor village and Portimao town are 5 minutes drive away. These locations provide access to a wide range of shops and hypermarkets. The picturesque sea front town of Lagos, the Monchique mountains, and the ancient town of Silves involve a 30 minute drive.
