Overview
Retur Villa Rental Photos and Description
Large 5 bedroom self catering villa, situated between Monte Gordo and Altura
This beautiful 5 bedroom detached villa, boasts a large outdoor swimming pool, landscaped garden, brick barbecue area, and is laid out in traditional Portuguese style over three floors, with large terraces overlooking the pool. It has a large living room, a good sized kitchen and dining room that opens onto the shady pergola and BBQ area, and is also fully air conditioned and equipped. The villa is ideally situated between the towns of Monte Gordo and Altura. Just close enough to all the local night life, but just far enough away to avoid the summer crowds! The villa is located in the exclusive Audiencia development, next to Praia Verde, in the unspoilt Eastern Algarve. This area is mainly made up of private villas and has direct access to the beach, on foot (about 5 minutes walk) or by car. Whether you are a golfer, a beach lover, or you just want to relax with a glass of the local wine by a private pool, if you're looking for a relaxing holiday in the sun, this is the place to be.
Athletics and Sport: Close to the villa is the IAAF accredited sports complex of Vila Real de S. António. The complex is equipped with modern facilities that attract top athletes to this region. There is an 8-lane 'polytan' track together with indoor training facilities and a gym with Olympic free weights. Jumping facilities and dedicated throwing facilities are also available, where many other sports are catered for. The Complex is one of the most highly regarded centres in Europe. It is a high performance training centre recognized by the Portuguese Olympic Committee as an Official Training Centre, and attracts a number of professional teams and national squads to the region for warm weather training
Monte Gordo is an established holiday resort with a flat blue flag beach, stretching over 20km. This is ideal for warm weather training sessions. There are over 12km of off road tracks that can be found in the pine forests that lie between Vila Real de Santo António and Monte Gordo
Ria Formosa Natural Reserve: The vast beaches and isles from Faro to Tavira form a natural barrier to the Ocean. Behind are the vast expanses of dunes and after those a labyrinth of lagoons and small sand isles, mud flats and canals. At low tide other salty habitats are uncovered, because the sea penetrates right up to land, forming marches and salt marshes.
With such physical diversity, it is not surprising that the Formosa Estuary attracts such a variety of life forms and provides a wintering ground for many migratory birds. It is one of the most important nature reserves in the network of wetlands that links Europe and sub-Saharan Africa and is very popular with wildlife watchers from all over the world.

Superb week in sunny Portugal in beautiful Villa
We were a group of 8 runners that came to Portugal to train in the warm weather and for some day trips. The Villa was perfect for us and was really spacious and a beautiful place. We enjoyed the beach and forest trails right next to the villa and loved the pool and BBQ area. We had a great week in the sun and all said we'd love to come back later in the year. Thanks Marina for making us feel so welcome. Hope to see you again. Steve, Ellie, Tim, Mark, Sarah, Pete, Matt and James
What an Amazing Villa!!
We loved the villa, it's enormous! we were a large party & we never felt like we were in eachothers way! The beach & town were a short walk away, but well worth it! I would certainly recommend staying here and I can't wait to come back!!
Great for famillies
Great holiday house - there were 6 adults in our party, plus little ones and we found there was plenty of room without getting on top of each other.
Really good location for the beach (you can easily walk there) or it was nice just to be able to relax by the pool. The garden was great for the kids.
Marina (the property manager) went out of her way to help and make sure we were comfortable.
Would really recommend this place if you're on holiday as a group - we'll definitely be going back!
Perfect holiday home, clean, spacious, comfortable
We were a three-generation group and found there was lots of space, plenty of bathrooms and a pleasant well-equipped kitchen/diningroom. There is a large garden where our granson played, and a cot and high chair were provided for him. The pool and terrace area was great for relaxing and sunbathing. The property manager couldn't do enough for us (very nice lady).
We bought fresh bread every day from the nearby cafe, and did other shopping in supermarkets ten mins drive away.
The wonderful sandy beach is five mins by car or 10/15 mins walk (depending how energetic you are), and the 'younger' generation used the bikes available to go trekking through the pine forest to Monte Gordo.
A place to come back to, a real home from home. Highly recommended.
ferias em monte gordo algarve
Adorei passar as minhas ferias com os meus amigos em monte gordo,fomos todos bem recebidos pela gestora da casa D.Marina e a casa tem todas as condicoes para acolher os visitantes que nela procura habitacao, uma coisa apenas para melhorar luz na churrasqueira.
Férias 5 estrelas
Este foi o quarto ano em que, juntamente com a minha família, passei férias neste local.
A proximidade da praia, a dimensão da casa, com optimas zonas de lazer no exterior (jardim amplo e bem cuidado, boa piscina) e a assistência rápida e simpática dada pela Marina a qualquer problema que surja, justifica a repetição pelo quarto ano consecutivo do nosso local de férias. Todos os anos temos deparado com melhorias feitas na propriedade.
Espero voltar no próximo ano

Map
The Villa is located in the exclusive holiday residential area of Casa da Audiencia, which has around 250 large villas and houses and direct access, on foot or by car, to the beach. It boasts two superb restaurants on the beach itself, and a sushi/salad bar. There is also a local café and bakery, where you can buy bread freshly baked on the premises. The beach is 5 minutes walk from the villa, through the pine trees, and its’ beautiful unspoilt golden sand stretches for miles. Nearby is the Ria Formosa, a nature reserve stretching 67 kilometres along the coast to Faro. Part of Audiencia backs onto a National Park, full of pine trees surrounding a beautiful unspoilt lake that is a magnet for wild birds and ducks. It is excellent for walking and cycling in. The villa is within 5 to 15 min. drive of several top golf courses: Castro Marim Golf, Quinta da Ria, Benamor, Quinta de Cima, the new Monte Rei course designed by Jack Nicklaus and Quinta do Vale designed by Seve Ballesteros
Other Activities: Bird watching, Green Bowling, Kite Surf, Canoeing, Cruising
Golf: The Algarve has some of the finest golf courses in the world. Indeed the region has a world wide reputation for golfing excellence. The mild all year round climate makes playing golf in the Algarve an absolute pleasure, even in the winter. The East Algarve has 5 very different golf courses:
Benamor - A very friendly and welcoming club. A good choice for groups of higher handicappers, with wide fairways and not too many hazards. Water does, however, come into play on a few holes.
Castro Marim - The Eastern Algarve has developed very quickly in the last few years as a serious golfing location. This is one of the first courses that got rave reviews from visiting golfers and it is still one to put on any Eastern Algarve itinerary.
Monte Rei - The only Jack Nicklaus designed course on the Algarve. This is a stunning layout, with first class service from the time you arrive at the bag drop.
Quinta da Ria - A lovely golf course built on a cliff overlooking the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Although not as technically difficult as its sister course next door, it is still ranked in the top 10 courses in Portugal.
Quinta de Cima -This is a must-play course for any golfer staying in the Algarve. Ranked as one of the top 3 courses in Portugal by the Peugeot guide.
Quinta do Vale - Opened in 2008, this Seve Ballesteros course, close to the Spanish border, is one to add to your itinerary. With Monte Rei & Quinta do Cima very close you can see why golfers are flocking to this area.

While we have cleaners who will come to thoroughly clean the house after your departure, we do ask that clients leave the house reasonably tidy, with the rubbish taken out and the dishes and crockery cleaned. The barbecue should also be cleaned. Failure to adhere to these conditions will result in a 20 euro cost which will be deducted from the security deposit.
25% of full rental cost must be paid on booking. The remaining 75% of the full rental cost must be paid 4 weeks before the start of the rental period. A security deposit of £250 will also be taken at that time. This will be returned within one week of the end of the rental period, subject to any breakages and damage.
