The Algarve Region

Algarve is just perfect for a relaxing and fun holiday. With a long beautiful coast with beaches of fine sand and transparent water in the east and with high rocks and cliffs, exotic vegetation in the west side.
Almost a full year of sun, several choice of golf courses, being a attraction for players all over the world. The marinas are offering great activities like boat trips around the coast, dolphin watching and fishing. Sailing and deep fishing are a delight for those who like to enjoy sealife. Countryside is worth a look with beautiful mountains, great views and tasty food. Morning markets, flea markets and gypsy markets are a visit card for people that love the fresh food and look for the specialities of the Algarve. So much to discover, it is great to live in the Algarve! Highly recommended!

Guest Book

"A lovely clean, very spacious villa in convenient location”

We stayed at the villa for 9 nights from 31 May 2011. When we arrived the owners were very welcoming & friendly & especially helpful when we locked ourselves out the first night! The villa itself was fab – very clean, modern and spacious. Although it was very well equipped, basic cleaning products etc weren't available. The local supermarket was only 5 mins away however, & had everything we needed. The kids loved the large pool & it was cleaned regularly – we did struggle to find shade around the pool. The villa was in a quiet location, but only a 10 min walk to top of strip with all amenities. The beach is lovely, but was quite a trek in the hot sun, so we stopped for ice-cream half way! The only thing which we would have found helpful would have been a folder of useful information/leaflets/maps etc for guests on arrival. We all had a fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend this villa.

Hi David,

We stayed at Villa Solar dos Arcos in July 2010. There were 8 of us in total - 2 families of 2 adults & 2 children. The house is lovely. 'The Strip' is a short stroll away, as is the supermarket. The Montechero Hotel is circa 5 minutes walk from the house. The weather was beautiful and the out door pool was a big hit with all but especially with the children. Most nights got quite cool, with the wind taking up at circa 6pm each evening. We had a fantastic time and hope to return again !

"Hi David,

here is our review:

On arrival to Villa Solar dos Arcos, the owners showed us around and are very plesan and helpful. The villa is in a quiet location but not too far from the local restaurants and amenieties. The villa itself was like a home from home and was very clean, well equipped and spacious. My grandparents are in their late 70's and 80's and did not find the walk to Oura too tiring and even so a taxi back to the villa only costs 3.50 euros! This villa has something for the whole family, close to the strip yet quiet enough just to chill and relax! - will definetly consider going back!
