The Villa
Quinta da Sao Sebastio is located in the village of Alcantarilla just a five minute drive from the many attractive beaches of Gale, Armacao de Pera, and Salgados. Quiet and peaceful, yet only a fifteen minute drive from the lively but lovely resort of Albufeira. The villa has access to everything within a couple of minutes. Great beaches, fabulous restaurants, Aqualand Water Park, Zoo Marine (swim with the dolphins), the largest retail shopping centre in the Algarve, complete with bowling and cinema (showing English movies) and a choice of great golf clubs. Salgados, Vale de Pinto, Silves to name just a few.
The house benefits from a lovely pool, shared with the other eight houses. Leading from the living room and the kitchen is a large terrace, furnished with a built in bbq and table and chairs to enable you to dine al fresco. The master bedroom upstairs has a huge en suite bathroom and a large balcony off it, with wonderful views of the pool and garden. Let the kids play in the pool while you sit out in the comfortable chairs and watch. There are two further double bedrooms all with balconies and bathrooms off them. The villa is great for families, with plenty in the surrounding area to see and do during your stay.
You can enjoy the best of both worlds with this holiday. Have every facility and lively entertainment on your doorstep in Gale and Albuferia, but escape to the quiet and peacefulness of your holiday home whenever you wish.
