ABOUT THE ALGARVE
Though most people tend to see the Algarve as all about the beaches and a holiday on the Med, there’s far much more to it than that. There’s actually a load of fascinating culture and history, superb cuisine and enthralling adventures to be had, though we’d be the first to admit that the beaches are pretty special too, with lots of sand, spectacle and wonderfully clean water.
But while you’re enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Algarve, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we’ve put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesLocated just a short drive from the Algarve's golden beaches, Casa Amendoim is an ideal haven for families. With its spacious layout and secure surroundings, the meticulously decorated space offers a welcoming ambience. The lounge area, with its smart TV, is perfect for putting on a family movie whilst outside, a BBQ terrace invites you to share memorable evenings around the dinner table. Additionally, the communal area is a sun-soaked paradise perfect for lazy afternoons, and kids will love to run around and splash in and out of the pool.
Situated within the neighbourhood of Cerro do Mocho, the villa occupies a great location for exploring the surrounding area. With nearby beaches such as Praia da Rocha and Praia do Vau, it is easy to spend the day beside the sea. Build sandcastles or paddle in the shallow water, or head to the nearby Quinta de Labo sports centre to play a game of tennis. Also close by, little explorers can dive into the excitement at Adventure Golf Alvor, swinging clubs amidst lush greens, or frolic in Parque Aventura for thrilling zip lines and treetop adventures.
