Description
Of course everybody is looking for a great summer holiday, also in the beautiful Algarve. Some want to re-charge their energy, others even want to spend the winter months in the lovely sunshine and celebrate Christmas and New Year on the Portimao/Praia da Rocha beaches and enjoy the fireworks from their own balconies or living room. All this can be done in the LUXURY and very COMPLETE APARTMENT at the outskirts of Portimao, with wide views on the Arade river, the quaint village Ferragudo, the marinas and……….....
the Atlantic Ocean. All near lively Praia da Rocha with an abundance of bars, restaurants, hotels like the well-known Bela Vista hotel, small shops at just a 15 minute walk from the apartment, while Portimao city, with all it’s amenities is close by, behind the apartment.
Enjoy a relaxed and careless holiday-vacation in the historic city of Portimao, see the fishermen’s boats depart for their nightly activities, the (dis)embarkment of the luxury cruise ships or just enjoy the great views and the lovely sunshine on either the roof terrace or one of the two balconies of this lovely top-floor apartment in the Edificio Vila Arade.
Several well-known golf courses are close by, as is the race track, the casino, the Arade music hall and several other nice things to do.
EDIFICIO VILA ARADE
The Edificio Vila Arade is a small apartment complex of 3 buildings with either 4 or 3 floors, with luxury flats, lift and underground garage. The building started in 2008 and completed one year later.
Many (your!) apartments are facing the Arade river and have front line view.
Each apartment has its own parking space in the underground garage with electric door but also on the fenced plot behind the flats are many free parking places. At the front is a very nice and well kept lawned garden with the communal swimming pool, kids pool and outside shower.
All three buildings are South-East facing and many flats have excellent views. The smallest of the buildings, the one where your apartment is located, is facing a little more to the South than the others; the best location to enjoy the views and the sunshine.
It is very easy to reach the apartment from Faro airport and will take just about 45 minutes by car which can be rented at www.Faroairport-Carrental.com
YOUR APARTMENT
Your temporary vacation home is very well located on the third (top) floor with elevator to your front door. It has two balconies/terraces with views on the Arade River and the Ocean as well as the swimming pool. The apartment is very complete with lounge/diner with airconditioning, TV set, large kitchen equipped with microwave, oven, cooker, dishwasher, freezer/fridge and lots more including a washing machine and toaster. The couch can easily be turned into a double bed in case you are with friends or children.
The double bedroom with fixed wardrobes, a small safe for your valuables and an aircon to cool in summer and heat in winter. The bathroom has a tub with hydromassage shower, washbasin and a toilet. The apartment sleeps 2-4 and a cot will be available when needed.
Next to the front door is a staircase leading to the communal roof terrace with fixed BBQ.
Here you can enjoy the view and sunshine until very late.

Other activities
Kayaking - Coastal Cave Trip
Silves & Mexhilhoeira Grande
When you really want to experience the nature and the impressive surroundings up close, then there are many options to do so, like a boattrip along the coast, big game fishing on the Ocean or canoeing. Really see everything from just a few yards away while you relax and enjoy the great climate.
The Algarve is popular among anglers as swordfishes, tuna and various shark species make great demands on their talents and will power. Along the South Coast of Portugal you can sail almost any harbour for sea fishing Algarve. Some well-known spots:
Praia da Luz / Lagos
'Pescamar' is a ship, specially built for sport fishing, crewed by experienced fisherman who do their utmost to make sure you will experience an unforgettable day. The boat is equipped with professional equipment such as fighting chair, outriggers and the most modern electronic equipment for tracing sharks, tuna and merlin. Pescamar has a license to go 25 miles offshore for sea fishing Algarve.
'Bom Dia' in Lagos offers 'family fishing trips' with a wonderful sailing boat. Thanks to the relaxed atmosphere on board and the helpful crew a first fishing experience will become a wonderful adventure.
Based in the Marina de Portimao, from where we have the wild ocean and strong winds of Cape St Vincent to the west, and the river delta of Faro to the east, all within one day sailing.
The Marina is situated in the mouth of the river Arade, which is navigable up to the heart of the city of Portimao. Always well sheltered, the river offers excellent training ground to practice the first steps of boat and sail handling. The wide and deep river mouth guarantees a safe entry under all circumstances.
During the summer the wind will increase with every mile we sail west, giving the unique opportunity to choose for yourself how much wind you want to experience on a given day.
For our multiday events we have the cities of Lisbon, Cadiz, Huelva, Gibraltar and Tanger, all within 24 hours sailing.
Biking: Nature friendly, fun and safe cycling tours from the Foia; with 902 meters, the highest mountain in the Algarve. You will cycle with our guide downhill through the green valleys of Serra de Monchique. Enjoy the beautiful panoramic views and let gravity do the work!
The trip starts at the office in Mexilhoeira Grande (no car? no problem!) From here you are brought to the highest peak in the Algarve in the middle of the Serra de Monchique, by a mini-van.
Enjoy here the stunning views to the west & south coast. The restaurant on top of this mountain is always open and can serve you a lovely coffee before you start the trip. After a good explanation you will cycle back to the coast… easy going downhill!
The experienced multilingual guide will take you on quiet land roads. The guide will stop at the most picturesque sites and give you information about the local wildlife and nature. Since 2001 Outdoor-Tours.com rolls down this mountain. We have now developed this tour into a safe & fun concept of cycling in the mountains, suitable for young people and for those who stayed young!
The trip is suitable for everyone between 14-70 years with some cycling experience. To deliver optimal service during the tour a service car will follow with water and your belongings.
Waterparks
One of Europe’s largest waterparks is at a mere 20 minutes drive away from your apartment. It is in Estombar, municipality Lagoa. It is called Slide and Splash and is open from April to October from
10.00 – 17.00 Tickets can be bought in several tabacconists and there is a pick-up bus. A real and unforgettable event for your kids.
Local events
Markets, flea markets, boating, exhibitions
Tourist attractions
One of the best advertising slogans for the Algarve is that there are no less than 3.000 hours of sunshine per year. For us Northerners that is exactly what counts; get a nice and healthy tan, relax under the warm sun and enjoy the feeling of freedom
Under this link you can see the Faro weather forecast in order to plan your outdoor activities (or in-activities if you just want to lay on the beach and relax)
But of course, also the Algarve needs the occasional rainfall as the drinking water is mainly supplied from the large reservoirs which are filled with water from the rivers. Known reservoirs and worth a visit are Baragem da Bravoura, just above Lagos and Baragem do Funcho/Arade between Silves and Sao Bartolomeu de Messines (also worth a visit!)
Directions
Fly to Faro airport, car rental Faroairport-carrental .com, drive 45 minutes to your apartment. Clear directions with pics will be provided.
