Our place is 25 km east of Faro airport. Originally a farmhouse it has been extensively moderized and expanded. We have 16 000 sq.m of land. The garden includes flowers, grapes, fruit trees, figs, almond, carobs, olives and a lot of oranges. The location is rural, with nice views to the hills and sea. The charming village of Moncarapacho is a ten minute walk away, with three or four exellent restaurants, shops, caf�s, an internet caf�, postoffice, banks etc. Wireless internet connection available.
We often get groups of families. The pool measures 4 times 9 meters. Shallow end 90 cm, deep end 2 m deep. The pool is safe, protected by a hedge and gate. Solar heating.
The lounge has a fireplace and satelite TV.
There are six bedrooms in all. The main house has four: Bedroom 1: one double bed, bedroom 2: four single beds, bedroom 3: a double bed, bedroom 4: two bunks. In the annexe, built for guests: bedroom 5: a double bed and two bunks, bedroom 6: a double bed, a luxury bunk and a pull-out bed.
There are two bathrooms with toilet, shower and washbasin, one extra toilet with washbasin, and a walled outdoor shower, all with hot and cold water. A cold-water shower at the pool.
The ocean is only 4 km away. The sand islands have the best beaches in the Algarve (source: The Rough Guide). They are just a short ferry trip away. You can also bathe on the mainland. Bring your own beach-towels. This area of the coast is a protected bird-breeding area. Building hotels on the coast is forbidden. This part of Algarve is therefore much less crowded than the tourist ghettos to the west of Faro.
We are 3 km south of the east-west motorway. All the attractions of Algarve and Andalusia in Spain (Seville!) are easily reached. We, the owners, are a retired Norwegian professional couple. We live nearby, and are available for advice etc.
