The villa is overlooking the Vale de Milho golf course, which is 5 minutes drive to the charming fishing village of Carvoeiro, with its cliff-sided beach, quaint shops, bars / live music, and wide selection of restaurants. It is 600 metres from Rocha Brava (tennis / restaurants), and 800 metres from the nearest beach (Centianes). The property is within 3-15 mins drive of some of the most beautiful beaches and coves in the Algarve, including Caneiros, Algar Seco, Praia Grande and Marinha beach, the famous 'Algarve Postcard'! Also within a leisurely 10-20 mins drive are 18-hole golf courses (Gramacho and Pinta), Water Parks (Slide and Splash, and Aqualand), the Algarve shopping centre at Guia, Crazy World (mini-golf / zoo) and the Zoomarine Sea Life centre with rides and live shows. There are boat trips taking in the caves and the spectacular coastline, or you can drive to the castle at Silves, the mountains of Monchique, or head for the West Coast with its Atlantic rollers. Something for everyone.
