| An intimate resort set in idyllic countryside on the outskirts of Carvoeiro, in the Algarve. Located in a lush green valley called Caramujeira - think flourishing vineyards, dramatic mountains, endless stretches of Atlantic coastline and a slower pace of life. Tasteful and modern décor exudes throughout the resort, a unique mixture of colours and textures of African inspiration. The entire complex is encircled by artificial water formations: a refreshing stream, a lake and two swimming pools. If you prefer salt water, some of the best beaches in the Algarve are nearby and the hotel provides free transportation. The hotel offers standard twin rooms and suites each featuring a separate lounge, large veranda, satellite television and air-conditioning as standard. For those seeking a little more space, the two bedroom townhouses located within the resort’s grounds cater for up to five adults. Use of local produce is a fiercely respected commitment of the resort’s culinary team. Fresh salads, snacks and sandwiches, can be enjoyed at the Pool Terrace restaurant, open daily. The smart but relaxed atmosphere of the Serenata restaurant is the ideal place to savour fine modern Portuguese cuisine. Alternatively, you can try hearty rural fare in one of a number of restaurants within walking distance of the resort. Dotted amongst the almond, fig and olive trees sit three swimming pools, a day spa, a floodlit tennis court, a kid´s club, children’s play area and an open-air fitness centre. As you would expect of any Algarve property, an abundance of challenging golfing options is never far away, there are more than 8 courses within a twenty minute drive. Praia da Marinha, an impressive example of fine Portuguese coastline, is accessible on foot (approx. 100 steps to the beach) or by the resort’s complimentary shuttle bus (seasonal). An oasis of calm, Vale d’el Rei is enviably located close to some of the Algarve’s most visited destinations. |
