The beautiful Algarve

Carvoerio

Carvoeiro has become one of the Algarve’s most sought-after resorts, with its dramatic sandstone cliffs, sandy beaches and gently rolling landscape scattered with olive, wild fig, almond, carob and citrus trees. The Algarve is noted for both its year round mild climate and the friendliness of the local people.

Nestling in a sheltered bay, Carvoeiro is a quaint fishing village with a small sandy beach and an abundance of restaurants. A few kilometres out of Carvoeiro is a lovely rural area known as Sesmarias, where you will find the Pestana Golf Resort.

The Pestana Golf Resort comprises two magnificent golf courses each with its own character and appeal. Pinta is a par 71 championship course, Gramacho is par 72 with beautiful palm trees and water features making it one of the most attractive in the Algarve. Each course provides a testing round for both the low handicapped player as well as great enjoyment for the holiday golfer.

Facilities within the complex include a well equiped pro-shop, restaurant, tennis courts, bowling greens, a local shop plus the David Leadbetter Golf Academy. There are several supermarkets within a 5 minute drive of the villa. There are also many attractions for children in the local area including Zoo Marine Gardens and two very exciting water parks.
