Further details for this vacation villa rental in Guia, Portugal

Owners notes: The villa is deceptively spacious and tastefully furnished as it was equipped for the owner’s personal use and not the rental market. This year they have decided to rent their home and hope that guests who come to stay will enjoy it as much as they do.

Local attractions: Visit some of the Algarve’s most beautiful beaches, less than 10 minutes by car. Or for something more energetic try one of the many Waterparks, Zoomarine, Krazy World, Karting or check out the Algarve shopping centre, with there are fabulous shops, a bowling alley & multi cinemas. Visit Albufeira’s old town, Villamoura’s marina or the historic town of Silves to name but a few.

Golf: Portugal -Europe's premier golf area with over 30 golf courses & more under construction. The purpose built golf resort of Vilamoura with lots of great courses is approx 20 mins drive away. Over the last few years the Portuguese Open has been hosted at Penina, Vila Sol and São Lourenzo, all of which are included in the list of top European championship courses. Sunny playing conditions & immaculately manicured fairways & greens are the norm in the Algarve. Salgados is the nearest course to the villa & is a compact course situated behind a long stretch of dune-backed beach. It plays very much like a Scottish links course, except the sun shines more often here. There are a lot of testing lakes, & most of the holes are near water hazards, so bring along lots of balls. In fact the proximity of the sea and the variety of lakes make this a very interesting test of golfing skills, different to other courses in the Algarve. The 6000 metre links are not very long, yet you will need all your skills to reach the greens. The accuracy of the drive is crucial for achieving good scores, making the course a pleasant experience, especially for technically skilled players. The 18 holes are well balanced, as each half of the course has two Par 5 holes of around 500 mtrs & two Par 3 holes of more than 170 mtrs. Par for the course is 72. Just 15mins drive is Balaia golf village with a testing 9 hole par 3 course, driving range, putting & chipping greens. Ideal for sharpening up your game!

Other Activities: Water theme parks and kiddy zoo park

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
The villa was exactly as described on the website - the details & photographs were very accurate.
We were very happy with the standard of the villa & the facilities generally - everything needed was to hand & it was very clean & well appointed.
We would return to this villa & to any others recommended in the Algarve. We loved it!!
Margey & David May 06
The villa was one of the nicest properties we have booked on-line, it was well appointed & fittings were to a high standard. The outside area was perfect for a family to relax & enjoy i.e. private, safe & secure for children. The villa was a bit like being at home & had all the little things you need to really enjoy a holiday eg. good utensils for the BBQ. This meant you did not have to bring much with you or run to the shops every five minutes for small things you need.
The surrounding area was perfect for what we wanted & was well described on the Holiday-Rentals website

Casa Cristina great Location

Review Submitted: October 22, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2007
Chris & Rob


Sorry this reply to your email took so long.
1) We used an independent hire firm for the car which proved to be very good value & they were very efficient at the airport. Hired through www.economycarrentals we were supplied with a car from auto rentals based in quateira.small economy car with a/c(matiz) was 126 euro with full insurance.
2) We were met at the villa by mike with the keys, he gave us a full run through of the villa & pool, he was very helpful with local info & always available by phone, I contacted him twice & had no problems reaching him.
3) The villa was as it is described on the Internet, we were very pleased with the quality & location of the villa.
4) No problems with housekeeping & found it the most well equipped villa we have rented.
5) Pool & gardens were clean & tidy
6) We encountered no problems at all during our week & loved the villa. If I could make one suggestion it would be to have a safe availble.we have rented villas in your area for the last 7 years & have always had one available, so was a little surprised when there wasn't one at Cristina.
8) We would definitely be interested in renting the villa again; the location & surrounding area are excellent.

Fabulous villa - Would definitely recommend

Lou&Paul Selby, North Yorkshire
Review Submitted: July 25, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We have just returned from our stay at this lovely villa and had a fabulous time. The villa is exactly as described if not better and well maintained with everything you could want. The plunge pool was ideal as the weather was extremely hot.
We received a warm and welcome reception with suggestions and advice for our stay provided throughout the week.
The villa is located a short distance from Albufeira (we got a taxi most evenings - only a 5 min drive) and was able to enjoy the many fine restaurants. Great if you like fish!!
We would recommend this villa for anyone wanting to relax for a week in pleasant surroundings.
