Area description
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.
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 Quateria) and a Swim With Dolphin experience and Theme Park (30 mins drive on the Motorway).
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.
The Quinta do Lago Shopping Centre is about a mile down the road, here there are many exclusive designers shops and some lovely restaurants/cafes. There is also a Italian restaurant that delivers pizza and pasta (and a bottle of wine) to the villa....the menu is in the folder...for those nights that you just can't be bothered to cook.
Golfing weekends can be arranged. Golf Guests can take advantage cheaper golf rates. The courses with discounted rates are: Vale do Lobo Royal, Vale do Lobo Ocean, Quinta da Lago Norte, Quinta do Lago Sul, Vila Sol, Vilamoura Old Course, Vilamoura Millennium, Vilamoura Pinhal, Vilamoura Laguna, Salgados, Benamor, Qinta Da Ria, Quinta de Cima. The information and rates are available please email the owner for details, costs and distance details.
There are plenty of opportunities to play tennis nearby in Vale Do Lobo. I can arrange court times in the Tennis Valley (14 flood lit courts) of VdL. There are professionals on hand to help you improve any aspect of your game, regular lessons can be arranged for you.
A stroll along the beach will take you to Quinta Do Lago or Vale Do Lobo both offering an excellent selection of restaurants and bars to enjoy a few cocktails in ! A morning or afternoon spend wandering the Ria Formosa is a relaxing experience - the area is heritage protected and boasts a number of rare birds, so don't forget your binoculars.
It is advisable to have a car while on holidays - it makes it easier to go exploring or bring back your finds from the local markets. We can arrange you car hire for you - prices are from E90 low season, E125 mid season, E160 high season. The car can be arranged for collection from Faro Airport or can be delivered to the villa for you.
There are a number of reliable taxi companies that operate in the area, if you wish to go out for the evening and fancy a few drinks, you will be able to. Vilamoura is about 10 minutes drive away and has a very upbeat nightlife with a good selection of 'sports' bars and nightclubs - and the Casino for those who think that lady luck is on their side.
We also have available a personal airport 'meet and greet' & return drop off service with private transfer to the villa, the transfer cost includes baggage assistance, car seats for children and orientation tour of the villa.
This a local payable cost of E40 one way E70 return for upto 4 passengers.
