124/AL Luxury child friendly villa with private pool in eco-friendly resort

Villa Andorinha is a large new villa in the Alma Verde resort, which has won numerous prestigious awards, including this year's (2006) Homes Overseas Gold award for best sustainable development. The villa is ideal for families with children of all ages with the heated pool having a large shallow area (50cm) at one end to allow toddlers to enjoy the pool and salt water chlorination, which significantly reduces skin irritation and burning eyes. The villa has been beautifully furnished and has a spacious open-plan living area, leading out onto the shaded patio with barbecue facilities and pool terrace with sun loungers. There is TV with access to 40 channels (incl. Sky Sports and Sky Movies) and various languages. A large roof terrace allows you to enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding hills and a glimpse of the Atlantic Sea. Fantastic blue flagged beaches are within easy reach by car.


Living Room: The large open plan living room features two large sofas and one chair and has a flat screen TV with 40 channels in English, French, Dutch, German and Portuguese (including Sky sports and Sky Movies), DVD with surround sound and CD player.




Coast / beaches: Endless beautiful uncrowded sandy beaches and stunning coves dot the coastline of the Western Algarve. The charming fishing village of Burgau is a 5 minute drive and has lovely beach bars serving grilled fish and other traditional Portuguese dishes. Many other beaches are within 10-20 minutes drive and await to be explored!


Travel: Alma Verde is located 10 km West of Lagos (100km of Faro) on the EN125. With the opening of the new motorway extension to the Western Algarve, the journey from Faro International Airport to the villa is now a comfortable 60 minutes.
Lisbon and Seville airport are a 2 and a half hour drive; flights to these airports can be a lot cheaper at the peak season.
Car hire is strongly recommended in order to make the most of the surrounding area

Lovely villa in a great location
The villa was ideal for our party of 4 and would easily accommodate 4 adults, 2 young children & baby for example, but in my opinion the lounge seating area and the pool would not accommodate for example a party of 4 adults with 2 or 3 older children. Whilst the villa is all on one level and has a stair gate to the roof terrace, it is not designed for the adventurous 3+ year old as all the windows and the doors to the pool area can be opened from the jnside, which presented us with a real problem as our 6 year old has some special needs and is able to climb and escape from any opening. We had been advised in 2 emails that all doors and windows could be locked which is why we preceded with the booking. Upon our arrival and discovering that our son could easily climb out of the bedroom window and leave the grounds of the property we contacted the management company, who to start with were a little dismissive and unhelpful, but fortunately for us Carola stepped in and within hours of raising the problem had sorted it by removing the handles from the windows in the bedroom our son was using and checking with us that other exit points could be locked. From then on we could not fault the helpfulness of Carola, she went out of her way to ensure that we enjoyed our stay, cancelling the gardeners as our son is autistic and gets very stressed by loud noises and unexpected visitors, offering us respite if we needed to go out for an hour, we really could not have had a more helpful and understanding person looking after us. The villa was well equipped and spacious for us, the only minor issue were the small, cheaply fitted shower cubicles, such a lovely villa should really have walk in showers. The pool was lovely although beware of a very rough floor, our son grazed his feet a number of times, also the close proximity of 2 pine trees meant on windy days the pool would be covered in pine needles. Because of Carola we had a very enjoyable stay, the location was perfect with a supermarket minutes away and the lovely beach at Burgau. We would probably consider returning for another holiday as once the safety of our son was dealt with, we were able to relax and enjoy our stay in a peaceful setting.

Excellent villa location good but not great
The villa was brilliant, very child friendly although one major downfall was the lagoon doors not having any form of safety latch so my 2 and a half year old could let himself straight out of the doors or the patio and also out of the bedroom into the green which also led straight round the front of the house onto the road. Obviously we were watching and chasing the whole time but still would have been more relaxing if the doors had a lock or safety latch. We assumed we’d get a welcome pack telling us thing about the villa and local area but we didn’t. We paid for the pool heating which was a waste of money as we wernt informed thy we were supposed to cover the pool on a night to keep the heat in until we saw the pool cleaner a couple of days towards the end of the holiday. But although it sounds like we had issues they were only minor in the grand scheme of things. The villa was lovely and the towns were nice but no great for anyone wanting walking distance like us. You could walk it on a road side no pavements and with young children wasn’t the best. Also very windy but that was just our bad luck! Anyone looking for a lovely family villa this is great.

Exceeded our high expectations!
We (4 adults, 4 children, and 2 babies) stayed in this beautiful villa for Easter holidays. It fitted our needs perfectly, with lots of unexpected extras (stair gate, buckets and spades, pool toys) that made a holiday with so many little ones easier and more fun. The kitchen is very well equipped, the garden large, and the pool perfect for children, closed off by a lockable gate from the outdoor dining area and with a shallow end and deep end. The villa itself has a touch of luxury that doesn't often come with a child-friendly environment. The surrounding area is lovely with beautiful beaches and villages and towns for visiting. The most peaceful, relaxing and fun holiday we've had as a family!

Great house with excellent pool & garden
We stayed at the end of October / start of November. The house is very spacious (although there were only 5 of us) & well equipped. The pool (with paid for heating) was warm enough for the children to spend hours in at a time. The garden is very sheltered & not overlooked with ample room for the children to play. It's a bit to far to walk anywhere from the villa, especially if with children so it's a short drive to any restaurants or shops. Local beaches (5-10 mins away) are excellent & shops are 10-15 mins away by car. The villa is located in a development of other holiday villas, well away from the main road so no traffic noise at any time of day. There's a selection of books, DVDs, children's games & pool toys so no need to pack these items! A very comfortable villa & the terrace (great for dining outside), large garden & excellent pool make it perfect for family holidays. (2 families of 4 could comfortably stay - all 4 bedrooms quite spacious)

Superbe sejour !
C est la première fois que j allais dans la région de Lagos, d habitude c est plutôt dans la région de carvoeiro que nous allons et je dois dire que nous ne regrettons pas du tout notre choix ! La villa est très belle et le jardin est juste magnifique avec beaucoup d endroit a l ombre ou l’on peut se reposer en toute quiétude ! La villa est spacieuse et très fraiche a l intérieur. Nous avons eu un superbe contact avec la propriétaire ainsi qu avec Alma Verde qui gère la propriété. Enfin la région de Lagos est vraiment belle et moins touristique que le reste de l Algarve. Attention la villa n est pas complètement clôturé. Bref excellent séjour. Joseph

Great Stay
The stay was very positive and excellent for those traveling as a family. The house corresponds to the description and the surrounding area is magnificent. Just two details: The house does not have AC as it says in the description The house is not fenced, important information for those who have dogs. Thank you very much!

Uns bons dias de férias
Tudo correspondeu ao esperado, toda a moradia muito bem tratada. A piscina é óptima, valeu a pena o extra do aquecimento. O jardim cuidado dá muita privacidade á casa e á piscina.

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt im Juli
Alles in allem ein sehr schönes Domizil in einer sehr gepflegten Anlage. Einziges Manko unsererseits ist, dass man für alles (Einkäufe, Bäckerei etc.) immer das Auto nehmen muss. Eventuelle Anregung wäre, dass zumindest am Morgen ein Backwarenverkauf stattfinden könnte (kann ja auch mobil sein). Ansonsten immer gerne wieder
