Casa Camilla is located on the pretty residential estate of Quinta dos Alamos. A private and secluded area with no shops, restaurants or bars, holiday makers come here to enjoy the peace and quiet.
For all those holiday necessities you needn’t go far, however, as the pretty village of Guia is within easy walking distance. Here you will find a number of shops, banks, bakeries, a pharmacy and can visit the daily market. There are also a number of fine restaurants including several good quality piri-piri- chicken places for which the area is known. So, you can enjoy the eating out experience without having to forego the opportunity to have a glass of wine.
For those who prefer to have a larger selection of shops to choose from, the Algarve now has the vast Algarve Shopping centre, which has a supermarket, cinema, bowling alley and is a double storey mall with several familiar international brands including The Body Shop, Zara and Mango. Conveniently the cinema here even shows films in English – great if you fancy a night at the flicks!
Some spectacular Algarve beaches line the coast nearby. Praia de Gale is only 6km away and is a 5km long sandy stretch with gorgeous cliff-top walks. Well served by a good selection of beach side facilities, the beach also has a number of water sports on offer. A little further away is Sao Raphael, another lovely place to visit, and for those seeking the beach fun of a large established resort, then Albufeira is only a 10 minute drive. Albufeira also has a colourful marina, pretty old town and a lively and varied nightlife for those seeking a little more action.
For those who enjoy visiting the Algarve for its world class golfing facilities, the nearest course is Salgados (5km) and Balaia Golf is 12km away. A little further along the coast are the numerous excellent courses at Vilamoura and Vale do Lobo.
Those with children to entertain are similarly spoilt for choice. There are a number of water parks in the Algarve, the closest of which is Aqualand in Alcantarilha, a 10 minute drive from the villa. A little further afield (20 minutes) you will find the mini golf courses and zoo at Krazyworld in Algoz, and right on the doorstep you will find Zoomarine, where the over-eights can swim with dolphins.
Really good quality villas, all the facilities are listed in the details. Speedy booking and information needed was sent in good time. Took the stress out of booking a holiday.
Really quiet, good for families. Loads of good restaurants within walking distance, no need to take the car. Shopping and beaches just a short drive away, quick access to main roads when needed.
