About this property
Villa in peaceful location, superb views, pool, garden, mini golf and ping pong
SPECIAL - 20% Off advertised rate for Last Minute Getaway - JULY 5th to 19th - Villa Cortina is an impressive rural hideaway with stunning panoramic views set in beautiful countryside, well stocked with flowers and shrubs in very large landscaped gardens, including a good-sized pool, putting green and table tennis. It is situated only minutes from the bustling market town of Loule, with tourist attractions, shops/pharmacies etc., and the world famous resorts of Quinta do Lago and Vilamoura with their fabulous sandy beaches. The villa is WiFi enabled and has three double bedrooms, all with superb views, three bathrooms, a large living room, a newly fitted kitchen and a large new flat-screen Panasonic TV. Air-conditioning is included to the bedrooms for comfort. The villa benefits from an alarm system for your peace of mind for when you go exploring the local restaurants and nightlife! The gardens and grounds are maintained to a high standard by our team of gardeners. The ever popular putting green, and table tennis area, amidst hard and soft landscaping, offer entertainment for our active and not so active guests. There is an outside bar adjacent to the putting green which we call 'hole 19' where a cool drink awaits the players. The slight breeze is so nice on a very hot day and the terrace with umbrella provides respite from the midday sun. Time to top up your tan safely! The swallows swoop in low over the pool taking insects in flight and are wonderful to watch during the day. The sparkling lights on the horizon as dusk falls are mesmerising as they flicker and bob in the night air. Cortina is truly a magical escape from the daily routine back home and one we shall continue to enjoy for many more years to come.

About the host
Hosted by David Selfe
We are Rosemary and David who fell in love with Villa Cortina 20 years ago. We live in Surrey and work full time in the hospitality industry, in two private members' clubs, which we enjoy immensely. We grew up in the south of England and have always enjoyed spending time near the coast. Rosemary's parents operated a hotel in Charmouth in Dorset, in the heart of the Jurassic coastline, whilst I spent every holiday with my parents in a caravan on Hayling Island. We also let out a holiday home in Charmouth which sleeps 9 and is only 7 minutes walk from the beach. It is great fun for children to explore as it is a Regency property laid out over 7 floors. Our two cocker spaniels love running on the beach and frolicking in the water.
Why they chose this property
The picture shows the two of us celebrating Rosemary's 60th birthday in 2016. We invited friends from our village in England and we held two parties over a weekend, the first at a restaurant on the beach on the Saturday and the second at the villa on the Sunday. This is such a special place for us as it holds so many memories of the good times we have had at Cortina. Rosemary knew that this was where she wanted to have her special birthday party. We had a band and fireworks and we even performed a play which I wrote especially, charting the story of Rosemary's career in hospitality. Family and friends shared in this memorable occasion. So much fun!
What makes this property unique
We come to Portugal regularly and combine holiday with thoughtful enhancements to the facilities. In 2016, we installed a brand new kitchen and refurbished a shower room. The gardens and grounds are maintained to a high standard by our team of gardeners. The ever popular putting green, and table tennis area, amidst hard and soft landscaping, offer entertainment for our active and not so active guests. There is an outside bar adjacent to the putting green which we call 'hole 19' where a cool drink awaits the players. The setting is fabulous and the views spectacular. We meander through our well-stocked and flourishing gardens that our comprehensive irrigation system keeps looking good all summer long. The slight breeze is so nice on a very hot day and the terrace with umbrella provides respite from the midday sun. Time to top up your tan safely! The swallows swoop in low over the pool taking insects in flight and are wonderful to watch during the day. The sparkling lights on the horizon as dusk falls are mesmerising as they flicker and bob in the night air. Cortina is truly a magical escape from the daily routine back home and one we shall continue to enjoy for many more years to come. Take the opportunity and visit our dream home on the Algarve, a short journey from Faro airport. You will never want to leave!
