Villa do Lima Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Located 2km from Almancil, the grand Villa do Lima is ideally situated for the many golf courses of Quinta do Lago. This grand 4-bedroom villa is suitable for up to eight guests and features a spectacular terrace area with an impressive 10m x 4m pool available all year-round.
A covered terrace area with dining table and large barbecue forms part of the living space at Villa do Lima. Just a few steps away is an outdoor lounge area with comfortable seating, and then the magnificent pool terrace. Particularly spacious, this area offers an array of sun loungers and parasols, positioned around the centrepiece swimming pool with a variable depth and Roman step access. Beautiful gardens and views of the surrounding countryside from the upper floor add the property’s considerable charm.
Inside, there is a bright living room with a flatscreen TV and super-comfy sofas, leading through to another dining area with seating for eight, from where you have direct access out to the pool. A large, modern kitchen comes equipped with a coffee machine, microwave, freezer and a breakfast bar with stools.
Two twin bedrooms can be found on the lower floor, along with a shower room and separate WC. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, each with their own en suite bathroom. If you require a cot and high-chair for an infant, this can also be provided.
Villa do Lima is 2km from many local amenities, including bars, restaurants and shops, and Quinto do Lago beach is also just a short drive away. Around the local area, you have attractions like Vilamoura marina, the Almancil go-karting centre, San Lorenzo golf course and the Aquashow water-park, as well as many more stunning beaches. Look out for the stunning red-cliff backdrop at the extensive Praia da Falésia, in the direction of Albufeira.
Quinta do Lago is well-known for its high-quality golf resort, which offers a variety of sports and activities alongside three award-winning courses. Located close to the town of Almancil on Portugal’s Algarve, there are many other good reasons to visit the region, with the likes of Loulé, Silves, Portimão, Faro and Vilamoura all easily accessible.
Between Quinta do Lago and Vilamoura is the coastal town of Quarteira, one of the first resorts to be established on the Algarve. Formerly a fishing town, Quarteira retains a lively waterfront with plenty of bars and restaurants in easy reach of its golden beach. A daily market, where fish, flowers and food are sold, is another attraction of the town. It is a quieter place than Albufeira along the coast, where livelier nightlife can be found if you are looking for it.
Vilamoura is a more upscale affair, with its marina something of a hub of activity. You will find excellent restaurants, cool bars and designer stores in this area, as well as the magnificent Praia da Falesia beach which extends for quite some distance. Rugged red cliffs make this beach a particularly picturesque one.
Families can enjoy days out at waterparks Aquashow and Zoomarine, and at Almancil’s go-karting centre, while Albufeira’s own marina and Old Town provide a pleasant contrast to its club and bar-lined strip. For something completely different, head north of Almancil to the historic town of Loulé, with its 2nd-century castle and impressive marketplace.
Further east, Silves provides a bohemian vibe and charming cobbled streets with some notable historic sights. You may even be able to arrive by boat from Portimão to the south, as both sit on the Arade River.
