The beautiful Ria Formosa!: The Ria Formosa in the Algarve is a beautiful labyrinth of lagoons separated from the sea by a coastal dune system which is broken up by various natural inlets. It is one of the most important nature reserves in the network of wetlands that links Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. The Ria has an enormous variety of natural habitats that provide refuge, feeding and breeding areas for an infinite number of flora and fauna and is a haven for birds.

The beaches of the isles of Faro, Barreta, Culatra, Armona and Tavira form a natural barrier to the Ocean. Behind are the dunes, sometimes just a narrow strip and sometimes wider and then come the labyrinth of lagoons and small sand islands and channels. At low tide other salty habitats are uncovered forming marches and salt marshes.

Golfers note!: If you're looking for a golfer's paradise, then look no further than the Algarve for your ultimate golfing experience.

With it's brilliant, sunny climate and dramatic courses throughout the region, it's easy to see why the Algarve is the most popular golfing destination in Europe.

There are over 30 golf courses in the Algarve, ranging from 9-hole courses stretched over the Algarve grassland, to dramatic coastal 18-hole courses set amongst the picturesque cliffs.

This makes golf here enjoyable for everyone, regardless of ability, and guarantees that you will find the perfect course for you.

The East Algarve boasts the wonderful Monte Rei course, designed by Nicklaus, Quinta do Vale course designed by Ballesteros,by the river Guardiana, as well as QUinta da Cima, Ria, Benamor and Castro Marim.

The complex is a high performance training centre accredited by the IAAF and is recognised by the Portuguese Olympic Committee as an Official Training Centre.The mild climate of the Algarve, combined with the natural surroundings of pine forest and beach, is conducive to improved performance by athletes.

About Andrew

Both Else and I worked in London for many years before deciding to seek warmer climes! We have two grown up children, now working in London and have been managing properties in the East Algarve for over seven years. We live nearby and are available for help or advice during you stay here.

Why Andrew chose Altura

We bought Casa Betel in 2005, initially as the house for us to live in. As a result, the house has a very 'lived in' feel with our own pictures on the wall, a piano and lots of english books. The East Algarve is wonderfully portuguese. It is a beautiful place to come at all times of the year. In summer it is very warm and almost always with blue skis and sunshine. The winters are also sunny and with temperatures during the day of 16 to 18 c it is extremely pleasant. Of course there are also far fewer people and is wonderfully calm and peaceful.

Lovely Family Holiday

  • 5 out of 5
  • Review Submitted: 03-Jun-2013
  • Date of Stay: May 2013
We know the Algarve fairly well and wanted a holiday villa providing good value for money in a more traditional location for a family holiday. This property and it's lovely owners did not disappoint in any way. We were 2 families of 4 and there was more than enough space in the villa for us all to stay very comfortably, with a safe pool area for the toddlers / babies and lovely private courtyard for evening drinks. Manta Rota was great with fabulous sandy beaches, beautiful wide open spaces only a 5 minute walk from the villa and not busy even in high season. There are some very nice restaurants close by too, all with very welcoming owners. Food and drink were also very good value in the local supermarket (a few euros for anything of note) which is a good size and very close to the villa. All in all a great holiday and would definitely come again.

Fabulous Manta Rota

  • 5 out of 5
  • Review Submitted: 11-Jun-2012
  • Date of Stay: Jun 2012
Just returned from a fabulous week in the lovely village of Manta Rota. This villa is the best equipped holiday rental we have ever stayed in, with everything you could possibly need supplied. The villa itself is very spacious. We went as two families and we all had enough space to get away from each other but with plenty for the kids to do also. The pool table, table tennis table and pool were very popular.
Andrew the owner was always on hand if we needed advice or anything else and gave us really good advice about where to eat shop, etc.
A definite must for us in the future!

Excellent holiday in Casa Betel

  • 5 out of 5
  • Review Submitted: 06-Oct-2011
  • Date of Stay: Jul 2011
We spent 2 weeks in Casa Betel and honestly we really miss the place. We were a party of 12 - 3 families with kids (mostly quite small).
Andrew and Elsa are perfect hosts – from the first contact till the end I had a feeling that they really cared about us. One of the kids needed medical treatment (X-ray, doctors visit) due to accident which happened back in Poland. We have contacted Andrew before flying to Portugal and he promised us his help. After coming to Casa Betel our wonderful hosts found the clinic, booked visit and assisted us during the visit in Tawira (10 km from Manta Rota). Elsa, Andrew – one more time great thank you.
They spent also a lot of time with us describing local attractions, restaurants, prices, sightseeing directions etc and I have to admit – they know what they are talking about.
Casa Betel itself is a really spacious and home-like place. There was enough space for all of us inside, game room with a pool table was also popular and specious kitchen was well equipped. Nevertheless what we like most was a structure of the surrounding with two separate areas – one by the pool with several deckchairs, stone table and gazebo and second in front of the house with a table, three chairs and two hammocks (my favorite place). Kids enjoyed the swimming pool and it was hard to get them out of it. Adults enjoyed BBQ (perfect lamb chops from local supermarket) and dining outside. I am still smiling when I think about the time we spent there.
We were able to park 3 small cars (Seat Ibiza) inside without any problem in a shaded area. It was surprising for me personally – I expected that we would have to leave at least one car outside. And again – contact to car rental agency was given by Andrew (very good price and service).
The surroundings of the villa are quiet still there is a local supermarket, local marketplace with fresh fruits, vegetables and fish and also several nice restaurants in walking distance. Wide and sandy beach is 600 meters from the house. The most important roads in Algarve (N125 and A22) are easily accessible from the villa.
Generally – highly recommended. We had a great time and we would like to come back.

Excellent

  • 5 out of 5
  • Review Submitted: 29-Apr-2011
  • Date of Stay: Apr 2011
We have just returned for the second year and it was just as good as we remembered from last year. The new games room was an added extra and the pool table proved to be popular with everybody.
One of our guests had a bad arm whilst we were there and Andrew and Else went out of their way to get us to the doctor and pharmacy.
Would recommend this villa to anybody wishing a good holiday with comfortable accommodation, it has everything you need and more.

Six Golfers on Holiday

  • 5 out of 5
  • Review Submitted: 11-Apr-2011
  • Date of Stay: Apr 2011
The villa was excellent and is in an ideal location for playing some of the local courses. We played three of the local golf courses in the area. Quinta Da Cima and Ria being only 5 mins away, and Castro Marim about 20mins away.
Quinta da Cima (known by many is the championship course) gets better as the round continues with the closing three holes providing a thrilling finale.
Quinta da Ria on the other hand is not quite as long but neverthe less still a very enjoyable test of golf. Both these courses can be walked if you don't wish to hire a buggy.
Castro Marim is the home of three natural sets of nine holes built through and around wonderfully scenic hills. Ther are some stunning views over the the River Guadiana into Spain. Not to be missed but you will require a buggy.
We also found the local restaurants are good and reasonably priced, including the local sports bar at the top of Altura with beer at 1.5 euros per large glass.After a round of golf, not to be missed.
I would recommend this villa to anyone whether it be for a family holiday or for golfing. The owner was very friendly and nothing was a problem to him.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Sightseeing, Families with Young Children
