Quinta San Vicente Portugal

The lovely Quinta San Vicente is situated a short from the centre of Albufeira in a peaceful residential area. It is 3km from the beach and close to shops, restaurants and bars. With two very spacious bedrooms, this warm and inviting villa is ideal for a small family or two couples.  Albufeira has so much to offer. It is a party city with nightlife going on until the early hours, but it is also an excellent family resort with fabulous beaches and much entertainment from water parks, mini-golf, go-karting and golf to wine tasting, visiting historic castles and churches and designer shopping. Albufeira certainly has it all!  Quinta San Vicente is modern in design and decor. The colour schemes are mainly neutral though there are some lovely vivid splashes of colour. On the ground floor, the living and dining room is open-plan with a high ceiling and modern furniture. The kitchen is contemporary and sleek. The central island serves as a useful breakfast bar. It is also a great place for guests to keep the cook company while enjoying a glass of wine! There is also a shower room on the ground floor.  The living space opens to a delightful terrace and a 7m x 3m swimming pool. The pool is surrounded by sun loungers, and there is a covered alfresco dining area. The barbecue is available for delicious summer dinners.  Upstairs, Quinta San Vicente boasts two very spacious bedrooms with french beds and en-suite bathrooms. Additional single beds can be found in the bedrooms as well, the perfect set up for those with small children. Both of the wonderfully comfortable bedrooms have balcony access. The bathrooms are fully tiled and immaculate. This villa boasts a homely ambience where you can relax after a day on the beach or visiting the lovely towns and villages around. Quinta San Vicente is located very close to a wonderful selection of beaches, the closest being the beautiful Praia do Peneco. It is a lovely Old Town beach with super clean sand and crystal clear water. It is surrounded by ochre sandstone cliffs where you can enjoy gorgeous sunset views. The beach is reached by stairs or an elevator from the cliffs or via a tunnel through the cliffs which is why the beach is sometimes called Praia do Tunel. The elevator is a great viewpoint. The fabulous Roca Beach Bar is very popular. At low tide, you can walk to Praia dos Pescadores where there are many watersports to enjoy including jet skis and banana boats. If you keep walking, you will arrive at Praia do Inatel where there are many seashells to collect. Other popular beaches close by are Praia da Coelha, Praia de Sao Rafael, the famous Praia da Falesia, Praia dos Arrifes, Praia do Castelo and Praia de Santa Eulalia.  Albufeira’s Old Town is charming with whitewashed and tiled houses sporting traditional Algarvian chimneys, cosy restaurants serving delicious food, atmospheric bars and plenty of gift shops. It is lovely to wander around. The main square, Jardim Publico de Albufeira, is the heart of the Old Town with open-air restaurants, cafes and bars and often live music. If you are seeking a more hedonistic holiday, then you should head for the crammed theme bars and night clubs of the New Town neon ‘Strip’. This area can easily rival any of Europe’s other party destinations. The ultramodern marina southwest of the centre of town is a delight, lined with upmarket restaurants and bars and brimming with luxury yachts. It is surrounded by colourful blue, green, pink, orange and yellow buildings, a big contrast to the whitewashed buildings in the Old Town. The marina is the starting point for many boat excursions in the area.  Guia is another village in the municipality of Albufeira and specialises in delicious Piri-Piri chicken. The chicken is barbecued on charcoal and spiced with hot chilli sauce. At Perderne, another village, you can visit the ruins of the Castle of Perderne, an old Moorish castle. It was constructed in the 12th century and was one of the last Moorish strongholds to fall to the Christians.
