About this property

Luxury Villa - peaceful setting, private heated pool, overlooking golf course

Our villa is approx 45 mins from Faro airport, situated in a quiet secure golf resort, directly overlooking the golf course with the Monchique mountains in the distance. Parking is available outside the villa. Our villa is situated in a very quiet corner of the Gramacho golf course, with no through traffic and not near the main road.

A wide entry area leads directly into the living room, which continues out onto the upstairs balcony via french doors. The balcony overlooks the private pool, gardens and golf course, and out further into the hills and a distant view of Portimao. There is a dining area complete with piano for the more talented visitor. With comfortable leather sofas providing the place to relax and unwind at the end of the day or when it is just too hot.

On this floor as well as the main living and dining areas, is a well equipped kitchen and laundry, complete with washer, dryer, and access to the garage. On the other side of the living area is the master bedroom, with it's own ensuite bathroom and dressing area, and safe. The master bedroom also overlooks the upstairs garden with a small patio area and air conditioning.

Downstairs are the 2 other bedrooms with direct access to the pool area each bedroom having it's own bathroom. These 2 bedrooms each contain 2 single beds, pushed together to make a double. One bathroom has a bath and shower, while the other has a shower. Both bedrooms have individual air conditioning and french doors out onto the pool area. One of these bedrooms also has a safe.

There is also an extra room downstairs which contains an extra tv for video games, sofa and a small kitchen area for storing drinks with direct access to the pool patio area. A great place for the younger members to spend some time.

The pool is surrounded by mature gardens and a patio, with a small barbecue area to one side and is exposed to the sun for long periods of the day There are 6 sun loungers and several parasols. As well as a table on the upstairs balcony, there is a table and chairs pool side. As of January 2019 there is now the option to have pool heating in the cooler months. There is a pool cover and costs for pool heating will be £175 for first week £90 for further weeks. Currently the temperature seems to be on average about 28-30 degrees. Needs to be booked in advance We are working towards being greener and more environmentally friendly, and our pool heating is provided by air source heat pumps.

Although the villa overlooks the 17th tee box, it's elevated position ensures your privacy, from those trying their luck on the course. But of course there is nothing to stop you taking in the view.

A Table tennis table is available for the more energetic, with the resort also providing high quality golf and access to a tennis court. It's about a 5-10 minute walk to the club house, where the view down the 18th fairway whilst partaking of a cooling beverage is highly recommended.

The villa has internet access and a tv/dvd offering many UK channels including sky and BT sports plus other European options. There is no need to bring beach towels as these are provided, and should your party include younger members there is a cot and highchair available (just need to let me know).

There is also a small spa (for a fee) at the club house, with heated pool and sauna and steam room.

The resort of Carvoiero with bars, restaurants and beaches is only 5 minutes drive away, and a small supermarket is within easy walking distance. While a bigger supermarket is less than 5 minutes drive.

The coastal area in and around Carvoiero has some of the most spectacular views along the Algarve (we think) with high cliffs and small bays. There is a lovely board walk above Carvoiero town, and the cliffs are definitely worth an exploration by boat.

Housekeeping comes once a week during the week, and issues (should there be any) are quickly solved by our local manager, who will pop in to meet you.

Family stay in Estombar
The property Linda had to offer was an excellent location with amenities within close proximity. Her communication with us was very prompt. Pool was perfect with no need for heat this time of year. If I had to comment on a couple things needing attention it would be the kitchen could use a once over on corkscrews , knifes ect... needing an upgrade/ sharpening. Mostly I felt the beds were very basic at best. Rest is very important to the weary traveler. Two pillows minimum per person I would recommend and an upgrade on the mattresses as well. Otherwise a perfect Algarve getaway!

Beautiful Villa
Beautiful villa, well maintained and very. Comfortable. Pool area was fabulous. Lots of space for all the family. Not a golfer, but the estate was immaculate and the bar/restaurant had a lovely view towards the mountains. Hire car would be needed to get to town or beach, but easy drives. Supermarkets near by. Excellent communication with owner prior to holiday and easy to speak to management team whilst in Portugal. A fantastic holiday!!

Beautiful Villa
On arrival at the Villa we found it to be spotlessly clean and had all home from home comforts, which helped us feel settled straight away. The Villa owners were very quick to try and solve a couple of issues that arose and kept us updated at all times, which we appreciated. The Villa has beautiful, well kept surroundings and felt very safe. We would recommend having a car for getting around, We also used Ubers to get to and from the local towns in the evenings. The golf course was in great condition for the time of year and the staff at the clubhouse were helpful and friendly. We are looking forward to returning!

Excellent location
The property is lovely and even better than the photos on line. It is well equipped and any matters that arose were quickly dealt with. The location is excellent overlooking the 16th green and 17th tee. A very quiet location just what we like. The pool is very large and can be heated, which is lovely really morning and late evening when used. We gave it 5 stars because to be honest it was.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Cooke

Host profile image
We have always enjoyed bringing the family to the Algarve since they were small. The Portuguese people are always friendly and helpful, despite our very limited Portuguese. Half of the family are keen golfers, and the villa provides us all with the opportunity to do what we like best, be it chasing the little white ball around the course, or lying back and soaking up the sun. We hope you enjoy the villa as much as we do. You might have seen that we do not currently live in the UK or Portugal unfortunately, but are now based in the Netherlands, so an hour ahead of UK time. Should you wish to email us to discuss things prior to booking, please don't hesitate to call or email our emaill is thenzcookies @ gmail . com. (you will need to join this together!)

Why they chose this property

This is our home away from home, we both lead very hectic lives and the chance to step away and enjoy the peace and serenity of the area and the villa, made choosing this villa easy. When we were living in the UK, we tried to come out at least every 6-8 weeks, an assignment in China made this a bit more difficult, but now a new home in the Netherlands might make it a bit more possible. We certainly hope so. We have retained the services of a property manager, Kevin Owenson, who will meet you in the early part of your stay, and is on hand should you have any issues, (which of course, we sincerely hope you don't).

What makes this property unique

The peaceful setting of the villa, combined with the opportunity to play golf and then relax by the pool, with either a cold drink or a glass of wine - never fails to recharge our batteries for home and work. Our villa is in a very quiet area of the complex, it looks over the golf course, but is not overlooked by anyone on the golf course. It is extremely private, but not isolated. With it's own private pool, and peaceful views across the golf course towards the hills, its a truly relaxing place to spend your holiday, whether you intend to use the golf course, or spend time by the pool or visit the local beaches and enjoy the local bars and restaurants, we are convinced that there is something for everyone. With an extra room downstairs with it's own flat screen tv, and original nintendo and an outdoor table tennis table, there is also space for a variety of ages to keep themselves happy.
