Beautiful villa with wonderful Algarvian sunshine

Description

Casa Janetta situated five miles outside of Albufeira on the outskirts of the village of Pêra, our single storey villa offers the opportunity to relax in the Algarvian sunshine, yet be close enough to other attractions including beaches, golf courses and water parks. Casa Janetta is one of six individually built villas in a quiet cul-de-sac offering seclusion and privacy. The villa sleeps eight in two air-conditioned double bedrooms and two twin bedrooms (both en-suite). In addition there is a large lounge/dining-room area with digital satellite TV, 3rd bathroom and a fully fitted kitchen

outside are several dining areas, barbecue, private pool, sun loungers and a mature garden containing many trees and shrubs.

Casa Janetta has a rental license which is now a legal requirement. The issue of this license ensures that the villa has been fully checked and vetted to provide safe and secure self catering accommodation.

The Algarve is a popular tourist destination yet retains much of the local culture particularly in inland areas. Temperatures rcan reach 40 degrees in the hot summer months but the effect is modified by the cooling breezes coming in from the Atlantic. Though many places were destroyed in the earthquake of 1755 there is still plenty to see in places such as Portimao, Silves and Lagos. Alternatively take a drive to the most south-westerly point in Europe, Cap St Vincent or go the other way and explore the lovely countryside near the Spanish border.

Pera is a large village lying between Armacao de Pera and Albufeira. There are supermarkets, shops, cafes and small restaurants locally but a wider choice is located within a five minute drive.

Armacao de Pera is the nearest coastal resort which is a short drive away. There are beautful beaches including Praia Grande which stretches for over a mile from Armacao to Gale. Further along there are a wide range of small beaches set in coves to explore along the coast, all of which are ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Local boat trips to explore the caves and grottos are available for hire, as are water and jet skis. The bustling resort of Albufeira can also be reached within ten to fifteen minutes. There is a wide range of restaurants, night clubs, bars and cafes to choose from to while away a day or evening.

On those odd days when the weather is not so good or you want to escape the heat, the Algarve Shopping Centre on the outskirts of Guia offers a large supermarket, bowling alley, multiplex cinema, food court, as well as numerous other small shops including boutiques, shoe shops etc.. Local food markets in Silves and Armacao de Pera sell beautifully fresh fish, meat and vegetables, ideal for cooking at home in the kitchen and on the barbecue. This complex is a short ten minute drive away.

Other nearby attractions include Zoomarine (five minute drive) which is a wildlife centre with dolphins, sea lions etc. It is possible to swim with the dolphins but pre-booking is necessary. A ten minute drive away is a water slide park 'Aqualand' whilst another one 'Slide and Splash' can be reached in twenty minutes.

The old capital of the Algarve, Silves with its dominating castle and quaint streets is only a fifteen minute drive away. This beautiful old city is well worth a visit and it is now possible to travel on a boat from here to Portimao. Further on from Silves is the 'mountainous' area of Monchique with its famed spa and piri-piri restaurants. The highest point of the Algarve, Foia at 4000 feet is nearby and breathtaking views of the Algarve can be seen from here.

For those that like to play golf the nearest course at Salgados is a five minute car journey. Other courses that can be reached within twenty or so minutes include Silves, Amendoeira (two courses), Gramacho, Pinta, Pine Cliffs and Balaia.

Horse riding is available at Quinta de Saudade which is only five minutes away..

For those that enjoy visiting local markets these are held regularly in local towns. For dates of these see details in the villa. ... read more »hide »
